Lucky's Chinese on Baltimore Avenue - West Philly

I have asked a few people what, if any, good Chinese is in the Cedar Park-Clark Park area. My roommate said the only one she goes to, that is close by, is Lucky’s because it’s “fairly clean, and you can see what they are doing in the back.” Fair enough.

So yesterday, I was nursing a sinus infection. I was hungry, but not ravenous. Without a clue of what I really want or should have, I just figure Chinese food would suffice. I went down, ordered wanton soup, spring roll, and lo mein noodles. The… Continue

Hi Marilyn,
Thank you for the welcome. I found this site thru PhillyBlog, and I'm so glad I did! I love almost any kind of food, so I'm usually game for new restaurants. I love mexican food, so the Taqueria La Veracruzana on Washington Ave is a favorite, as well as Tacos Lucas in the northeast. St Stephen`s Green in Fairmount is a new favorite of mine too.
Again, thanks for the welcome!
