Lucy's Chinese Food

Not sure when everybody in Springfield became food critics! Despite what other reviews have to say, this place is pretty decent for what it is.
I feel like you get a really solid amount of food in the full order for 11 bucks.
The chicken is fried to a good consistency and the rice is the same way.
The staff that work here have always been friendly as well.
The cooks always wave if they’re sitting out back, there’s a lady who works the window that reminds me every single time that the combos come with a drink when I say I’m getting a water, etc.
I notice small things like that.
I don’t discredit a business simply based on one poor experience.
That seems to be the theme with the rest of the reviews.
Take that for what you will but I think they’re doing it right.

I have delayed doing this review because I do not like writing bad reviews on what at least seems like a locally owned business. I will admit that I have been spoiled when it comes to Asian foods.
I have lived on both coasts, in large cities.
But I have spent most of my life living in small towns. First off I expect in house sauces when paying the price they charge.
Not only is the sauce bulk generic sauces, they don't follow the instructions apparently because they are so thick and strong that they are inedible.
If they followed the instructions they are leaving it to simmer far to long on the stove. The fried won tons had maybe 1/4 of a teaspoon of meat filling in them.
So little there is no point to putting meat in them at all. We took the food home in to go boxes and fed it to our dog.
Sorry but true. Service, my son stood at the counter waiting to be addressed at all for over five minutes.
There were two waitresses standing in clear view, if they would be paying attention.
They were both playing on their phones. It's Springfield, not tiny town USA.
Save yourself the experience and extra expense.
Go to Panada Express.

The food was very good! And the lady taking our order was very nice especially since we came in an hour before closing.
I would definitely eat here again.
