About Lucky Cat

Lucky Cat is an authentic Chinese restaurant located on Richmond Row in downtown London, Ontario. Serving the local community, including students from Western University and residents from White Oaks, the establishment specializes in traditional Sichuan cuisine. The kitchen focuses on bold, numbing heat and aromatic spices, offering a variety of wok-fried dishes, rice bowls, soups, and dumplings. The menu is anchored by two house specialties: the dry pot and Sichuan boiled-in-chili-oil. The dry pot features ingredients like cauliflower, fish fillets, potato slices, pork intestines, squid tentacles, or pork ribs that are tossed in a wok with garlic, dried chillies, and Sichuan spice before being served bubbling in a pot. The boiled-in-chili-oil option features beef, pork, or fish poached in a spicy broth with bean sprouts and bok choy, finished with peppercorns to create a signature numbing sensation. Other popular offerings include General Tao's Chicken, Cantonese Chow Mein, Sichuan Mapo Tofu, and Spicy Garlic Pork. The restaurant also provides appetizers like vegetable spring rolls, various combos, and family dinners. The business distinguishes itself by ensuring every dish, particularly the combo meals and family dinners, is cooked fresh to order by the chef rather than being pre-made. Lucky Cat provides dine-in options, as well as takeout and delivery services across the London area. Customers can also place orders online for convenient pickup or delivery.
