Everything was amazing! Loved every single dish but specially the coconut shrimp and green beans. Drinks were delicious and interesting. Would definitely recommend it and will come back for sure. Really cool decor and vibe too.

I go for the dumplings and end up eating the whole menu.The BBQ pork is excellent. Dumplings are delicious. The noodle dishes are outstanding and the ingredients are fresh.Maybe not the best egg rolls in the world, but even they are tasty.As an added bonus the house cocktails are a lot of fun.The people who work at NLT are always very friendly and the locals at the bar are good for a story.Highly recommend.

BLUF: Cozy, intimate Chinese food restaurant with good drinks, even better food and enough oddities around the place to make you feel like you’ve left Seattle and have stumbled into a restaurant in the middle of Asia. Have been meaning to check this place out for a while and it was worth the wait. The drinks list is an immediate hit with plenty of frozen concoctions, bar staples, and mix of standard Asian beers and local crafts.The food was amazing. The shrimp and pork fat dumplings were by far the best. Great filler, but an even better mix of chili oils and fixings on top to supplement the dumplings. The honey pecan shrimp were fried perfectly and loaded with candied pecans and a perfectly sweet sauce. Their version of general Tso’s chicken was really good, but the fried chicken fell flat compared to the other fried food we ordered. Great Asian style chicken wings. Awesome spicy cucumbers to go with the larger plates. Wonderfully garlicky eggplant.Will definitely be back to explore more dishes on the menu.

If you are new visiting this restaurant it is a little puzzle to figure out that you have to walk all the way to the back of the restaurant, take a number, and write down on a board the number of guess in ur party then wait to be called.The food at this place is one of the most tasteful for Chinese restaurants in the area. Recommed “BBQ Duck”. The enviroment is very cozzy but bizarre they play Classic K-Rock music on a asian restaurant, but definetely groovy.Very fast service and food takes less than 5 minutes to be served once ordered.

Excellent gem for Chinese food in West Seattle. I’m so glad that they reopened after the pandemic. The food menu at New Luck Toy is relatively small, but everything is tasty, prices are reasonable, the staff is very friendly, and the drinks are unique. The atmosphere has an old-fashioned style that I love and there is both bar seating and booth seating available.

A girlfriend and I went for dinner. It's seat yourself and the place filled up quickly around 6pm so get there early, because seating is limited. Luckily, we got right in! We had the Spicy Shrimp & Pork Dumplings (7/10, wished the sauce was on the side), the Honey Pecan Crispy Fried Prawns (9/10), the Spicy Pickled Cucumbers (10/10) and the General OH Tso Good Fried Chicken (7/10). It's a fun and intimate environment for a night out. The service was good and cocktails were delicious! We split all our food and each had two cocktails and it was 65 each. I would go back!

I had craving for fried rice. Went in to New Luck Toy as they opened. The lady at the bar greeted me and told me to sit anywhere so I went to the bar area. Ordered a beer and their fried rice and spicy cucumber. Good stuff. Loved the atmosphere and ambiance of the place. I can imagine how loud it becomes when it's karaoke time. Anyhow, great and prompt service, good food and wonderful staff. Can't wait to come back.

I highly advise you go now! I was a little skeptical as my sister described her favorite local Chinese dive, but she didn’t come close to this hidden gem. Amazing food, out of this world ambiance/decor, and don’t skip the slushy drinks. Thinking of going back tomorrow. OH YEAH, get the dumplings!!!
