Locals will give high praise for this beloved Chinese place and people from far and wide have come to taste the mouth-watering flavor hidden within. When you go to Lucky Garden you can order from the menu but everyone knows there is really only one option when you dine in. The buffet offers a wide variety of dishes which we are thankful for, because they are all so good there is no way to just choose one.
When you first see the outside you may be tempted to think that it is just another brick building in the heart of historic downtown Hallowell. It may be a simple brick building but what is hidden inside is simply the best-tasting Chinese food you have ever tried, one bite will silence any doubt.

The glorious buffet will sit in the middle of the room with warming lights on but we like to think of them as heavenly lights shining in on the tastiest of all feasts.

You can pile your plate high with chicken wings, crab rangoon, and perfectly prepared pork fried rice. Take a fluffy biscuit or some fried wanton chips to compliment any mountain of food. Every single item in the buffet is worth its own meal but you can sample it all.

Some of the favorites are the teriyaki chicken and the Sesame chicken.

You may want to go back up for seconds, or thirds because the delicious options are in such abundance. Finish off your meal with a smooth cup of steaming hot Oolong tea found freshly poured on every table.
