Luck Gai is the epitome of a family run JEWEL of a restaurant. Doordash reviews are usually focused on the food, but I want to tell u about the people and restaurant too.
First- food
- the first time I went here months ago I came back 3 days in a row. Everything is that delicious.
- the steamed chicken is so fresh, rich, and tasty it is perfectly cooked. Love the fatty skin. The fried chicken is crunchy and umami flavored. The rice is high quality, and sauces are extremely flavorful.
- Pad See Ew is legitimately the best pad see ew around, they really dry the noodles and flavor coats the entire dish. They use shiitake mushrooms for an umami boost and it makes a huge difference.
The restaurant is a small family owned place which put a lot of care into opening and being there for the community. They are so friendly with free tasters, generous coupons and take the time to explain all the food. They are really open to input as well.
Love this place. Please support! I am not friend or family, just like it a lot! - Nathan C

The food was DELICIOUS - everything was so balanced and flavorful. I'm a big fan of Tom Kha and this one is so unique and tasty - it has a tiny bit of sweetness that I really enjoyed. The Foxy Kiss has a generous portion of protein (I chose chicken) and has a great flavor.

Luck Gai is my favorite Thai place in Orange County by far! The spice is actually real, so don't go overboard. Their noodle dishes are always packed with flavor and you cannot go wrong with them. My personal favorite is the drunken noodles! They can all be customized to be vegetarian, and the portions are regular-sized for the price. I always order from this restaurant :)

Inflation/Shrinkflation has hit this place hard. For reference, the yellow curry is smaller than my hand and was $17. The pad see ew portion was smaller than two Pokemon cards and $20. Thus sadly is not the first time I have been here, but it will be our last.

best Thai food around! Tofu pad see ew, seafood Tom yum soup, & garlic ginger rice were near perfect (soup was a bit salty) - tasted homemade & good quality (not greasy/ like fast food), & NO MSG!
