"While this spot may not look like much from the outside it’s a solid choice for great food.We decided to explore the Sunset Park area, and while browsing reviews, menus and windows, we settled on Lucky eight.To be 100% honest there were at least three groups of women that went in before us, and to me that was an indication that the food must be good as they might traditionally be the ones preparing food in their homes, and if they want to eat here, so do I .The dining room is simple with a tank of lobsters and fish when you walk in, not all looking that spry but who would.We ordered slightly blindly off the lunch special menu, which was a great value. The egg drop soup was delicious and all of the other portions were quite large. Sweet-and-sour chicken scored, high marks, and there was some “boiled chicken” that came with a delicious ginger garlic sauce on the side that I can highly recommend.We always order snow pea leaves as they are often super fresh and delicious and that is exactly what we received here at Lucky eight. Another great choice if you want to get your greens in.I had wanted to order roasted pork ribs, but ended up with sweet-and-sour pork, which was good, but was heavy on the pineapple, I should be expected, my bad.The tea was on the table instantly and dark and delicious. The service was jovial and fun and efficient.If you were in the area and looking for a quick and easy lunch this is a great option."

"Decided to take the risk and come here having read all the recent reviews, and wanted to write an honest, legitimate review. I have no idea what some people are talking about, this place is quite good! Not many options in SLC for Chinese food, so it was either this or Panda Express, and I'm glad we went here. To be honest, this place is clearly pretty old and dingy and not in the best location, so it can seem a little sketchy, (particularly at night). We went for it anyway, and the guy up front was super friendly and personable. The wait wasn't too long, and the food was perfectly good. We got the chicken lo mein and I did the Two Barbecue on rice (with soy chicken and cha siu). The cha siu was very good! And the chicken was silky and juicy (if you're not used to traditional soy chicken you might not like the cut because you have to be careful of the bone pieces). It came with bok choi as well, it was all tasty and very good Cantonese style dish. My only complaint would be the rice was a little dry or perhaps not very fresh, but everything else was good. The lo mein was also good and has the kind of thinner noodles, and comes with bean sprouts. Price is super reasonable, so obviously don't come expecting something gourmet or the best food ever but portions were good and it was all perfectly tasty. I'm glad we went for it despite the exterior appearance and bad reviews, this place seems very genuine and has good Chinese food. Granted, I can't compare it to the previous ownership because I've never been here before. I am from the Seattle area where there are excellent family owned Chinese restaurants all over the city, and my mom is Chinese and a great cook, so I wanted to write an objective review. For being one of the few options here, and such a reasonable price, this place isn't bad at all and I would come here again."

"If I could give six stars to the Roast Duck Dinner all on it's own, I would. It is presented as three courses: The roast duck is brought to your table and carved (in an impressive display of knife skill, if that entertains you so much the better) to be eaten in the small, puffy buns with shredded vegetables and sauce; then the carcass is taken back to the kitchen and the scraps are made into Duck Fried Rice (you can request fried noodles instead, if the server is paying attention, and we always do), and the the bones are used to make a brothy soup for the end of the meal. Officially you are supposed to make a reservation, and specify that you want the roast duck dinner as part of it, at least a day in advance, but I get the impression from what I've heard at tables near us that the rule is not rigidly enforced (the ducks clearly take a while to roast and this has to be done in advance, so it may depend on whether they have any spare birds). We as a family love it so much that if there are going to be more than 4-5 in the party, we get two ducks.The rest of the restaurant is fairly standard but good Hong Kong style (i.e.: Cantonese) Chinese restaurant food. Definitely better made and presented than strip-mall bog-standard, but still not froufrou. The quality of the individual dishes self-evidently varies based on the quality of the ingredients used, but the menu stays the same even when they can't get something fresh, so watch out.I get the impression that the service is still recovering (Aren't we all from the impact of Covid. It was never exactly attentive before, but since they have reopened for dine-in, things had gotten perceptibly worse. I have _never_ had anybody be even slightly less than polite, much less rude, but it can be a challenge to flag somebody down for simple stuff. The place has a full bar, but except for he occasional beer I've hardly ever seen anybody use it. The corkage fee is enforced quite narrowly, and I'd recommend bringing you own opener (or going screw-top or be prepared to wait. Parking is always available, and even usually free, if you're willing to look around on the side streets to the west.Bottom line: A solid place that we go as regularly as we go anywhere. Absolutely worth going out of your way if you are going to get the duck, and still fine even if you don't."
