Hosted Friends at Lucky Joy Chinese Restaurant

Steamed Oysters with Ginger

My family hosted some friends, a family from Malaysia, over dinner at Lucky Joy Chinese Restaurant in Richmond. We wanted them to experience dining on Canadian lobster with Chinese cooking style. Through the years, we found that Lucky Joy is a fairly decent restaurant for seafood. The prices are not exuberant and the cuisines are  authentic, tasty and flavourful. The service is also quick but to dine here comfortably, it would be better to make prior reservations. The waiting could be very long.

Lobster with Ginger and Onions

This popular destination among the residents in Richmond is usually packed in the evenings. The restaurant is tacked away in a remote location away from the busy restaurant strip in Richmond. It sits on No. 5 Road and Thorpe Road, just next to LA Chicken. And we were lucky to have chosen that particular day to dine at Lucky Joy because on that day their special cuisine for the day was oysters. The oysters were really fresh and big. It was my first time that I have seen such big oysters.

Halibut with Tofu in Clay Pot

The oysters were cooked in two different styles. Four oysters were steamed with ginger and another four with black bean sauce. We selected the lobsters to be cooked with ginger and spring onions which is our favorite style for lobster and added two portions of wuntun noodles. This was the first time that we tried the lobster cuisine with wuntun noodle. It was actually a good choice and the noodle actually became very flavourful in the ginger sauce. Most of the dining occasions we have at Lucky Joy is to introduce some of the best seafood cuisines we have come across in our dining experiences in Vancouver and we continue to be amazed with their cuisines.

Stir Fried Mixed Vegetables with Shrimps

The other cuisines we have selected this time were Halibut with Tofu in Clay Pot, Stir Fried Mixed Vegetables with Shrimps, Stir Fried Jumbo Shrimps in Onions, Stir Fried Beef in Spring Onions, Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet, and Honey Pork Ribs. Other than the beef and pork ribs cuisines, the rest were all seafood cuisines. We are just comfortable with the seafood cuisines at Lucky Joy and keep returning for more of their lovely cuisines.
