"When we first moved to Essex, we tried several Chinese restaurants in the area, but none of them tasted right. We eventually decided to take a chance on Lucky Dragon, and we’ve never looked back. Honestly, we almost didn’t order that day! It was an incredibly rainy day, and we just didn’t feel like driving to Glen Burnie, our usual go-to spot.
The owner of Lucky Dragon always recognizes us, whether we order in person or over the phone, which I find to be a lovely touch. It’s not something you experience often in other places we've frequented over the years. I always order extra shrimp with my shrimp baked rice, and this year, I decided to try adding scallops as well. The owner suggested their seafood fried rice, which is a more affordable option and also comes with extra shrimp. I hadn’t tried it before, but I gave it a shot and was not disappointed.
Throughout the years we’ve ordered from Lucky Dragon, we’ve never had a reason to complain. As for parking, we’ve never had trouble finding a spot right in front of the restaurant—unless it’s around the holidays, but that’s to be expected everywhere!"
