Lucky Bamboo is located right next to Chatime and is extremely close to their competitors such as Ox Noodle and Picko Lime. The competition is tough in the area, hence the restaurant can be pretty empty 8/10 of the times. I don't mind though because I like the quietness and comfort of eating in a restaurant that is not so busy or loud. Plus their food is good.
The service here is pretty mediocre, which is the usual at most pho stores so I am not surprised. They will take your order, serve you your food and that's pretty much the end of their service. Anything else you need later in your meal, you will most likely need to flag them down. But the service isn't what brings me here... it's the food. I been ordering the chicken pad Thai ever since I first discovered this place three years ago and it is pretty much my usual go to dish. It is not really the most authentic pad Thai but I really do like their variation. The chicken is really tender and the thin vermicelli noodles compliments the tangy and sort of spicy dish. It's usually not spicy enough for me so I tell them to cut fresh chillies and cook it in for me. That usually does the trick. If you order it at lunch, you get a spring roll and your choice of soup or pop for 8.99 which is a great deal.
