Lucky Danger

Quality of the food was surprisingly good and higher than my expectations! Ordered the family style Meat OK meal for two and there was plenty, plus leftovers for two people. Hope this becomes a permanent location - best Chinese and overall Asian restaurant in Pentagon Row in my opinion. Food is authentic and delicious, and cute branding is a plus. Update: Tried Lucky Danger a few more times since they’ve opened (3-4 times), and the quality seems to get worse each time. Getting burnt food seems to be a frequent occurrence, online ordering/timing seems to be very off, and some things like crab rangoons look like someone’s taken a lazy shortcut. See pics. Disappointing. They have potential but need quality control. One time pointed out our order of scallion pancakes was burnt, and they apologized and offered to remake the food but it was burnt yet again. Stopped giving the place chances.

Ordered veggie lo mein, drenched in sauce, had a burnt taste to it. It also had these weird little bits in it, couldn’t figure out what they were. While I was waiting for my order, I noticed a huge tub of raw chicken sitting out. Good thing I don’t eat chicken. Wouldn’t come here again!

Food is made fresh to order and the chef was very courteous. Had Shrimp Fried Rice, Beef Lo Mein and the Sweet and Sour Chicken. Everything tasted very good. And their pork dumplings are homemade and they were delicious. If I'm ever to visit D.C again, ill be sure to order takeout from there

My boyfriend and I ordered for the Meat OK! for 2-3 and the dumplings for delivery. First off, major props for the packaging! Everything was labeled; the bags and stickers were really cute. The food was also really good. The duck fried rice and crab Rangoon was particularly delicious. The greens could have used a bit more cooking, but were tasty. We loved that it included such a great variety of dishes and proteins (beef, chicken, shrimp, crab, veggies). The portions were good-sized; the two of us had plenty of leftovers.

Finally tried out via a delivery order for lunch. Seems the pricing and portion sizes are meant to allow customers to try several dishes. I got: Ma Po tofu Chinese greens Spicy pickled cucumbers Chicken lo mein Pan seared pork dumplings The cucumbers, dumplings, and greens were good. Other two items not so much. Dumplings don't come with a sauce and you don't get a side of rice like usual for a dish like ma po tofu. The lo mein noodles were greasy and gummy. The chicken was hard and tough. Not sure I'd try anything else.
