We were in town for a quick weekend getaway. I admit, I initially thought, “How much fun could it possibly be with the limited time we have to do things?” We had a blast and Lucky Cheng’s was the highlight of our trip! It was, by far, the best drag brunch I’ve been to! My sentiments were share around the table! The venue was clean, inviting and provided a great atmosphere. The staff was friendly, funny and accommodating. The drag show was brilliant, all the way from ideas behind the theatrics to the personalities of each queen. To top it off, the DJ was cute and we let him know it! ;) The next time we are back in town, should it be on a weekend, we will be booking another table. Hands down, it is a must-see!
Best Brunch ever. I’ve only been to the Sunday brunch but the performers are amazing. Specially the host, Svetlana. She’s very funny and friendly. Very professional and super sweet. Included everyone on the show and always remembered everyone’s name which it’s super nice and makes you feel welcomed. Took pictures with us and everyone who wanted to take a lovely memory.
We had a great time at drag brunch celebrating a family birthday. We were a small party and even though we were seated at the back row, we didn’t miss a beat.The fabulous queens come around each and every table, so don’t forget your $$ singles for tipping. There is no bad seat here. The mimosas were indeed bottomless. Every time I turned around my glass was full. Our server, Gretchen, was fun and overall she has the most AMAZING act of the show IMO. Lola and Aria were very engaging hosts and wonderful performers!The food is OK. Portions are pretty good. The apps were better than the entrees. Highly recommend the pu pu platter and spring rolls. We also had the nachos which were a little soggy, and the chicken and waffles: chicken was hard but waffles not bad. The burger was the best of the entrees. We didn’t go here for the food so in that respect, it met our expectations and was good snacking while we enjoyed our bottomless mimosas.The show was very entertaining. I don’t remember the name of the queen that did the number with the Barbie dolls but that was off the hook! Great time was had by all. Will definitely go again when I get the chance.
I was taken to Lucky Cheng’s to celebrate my birthday and finishing my doctorate #FinishEdD and I HAD AN AMAZING TIME!!! Lola & Prima #Slayed The performances were sooooooo fun!!! The drinks were flowing and the crowd participation made the show so much more enjoyable. A great time. I definitely recommend going and having a great time.
Absolutely the best. The performance line up for Saturday brunch is incredible and everyone is so fun and attentive.The food is really good, the service is amazing. The crowd is wonderful, the vibes are immaculate. Bottomless mimosas truly is bottomless, its never an empty glass.It is very loud so if youre sensitive, bring ear buds!Prima Love is an incredible, wonderful, hilarious host. I need her there whenever I bring more friends back.Please be generous when you go. Tip the girls.
Just go! I promise you will have an amazing time!The food and drinks were excellent. The vibes were immaculate. The show is entertaining, hysterical and interactive.Perfect for bachlorettes, birthdays, or just a hell of a good time.P.S. The dj is hot
Awesomeness! Fun time had by all!!! Food was very flavorful but for the price could have had more protein (chicken in the Asian chicken salad,and the beans in the nachos practically non existent) Though you don’t necessarily go for the food it would not have taken much to make it worth the price (120$) performances were awesome and engaging!!!! Also the entrance is super easy to missssssssss-not marked clearly AT ALL
I absolutely LOVE coming to Lucky Chengs! It is my go-to activity when I am celebrating something, or when I have out-of-town visitors coming to NYC because it is a guaranteed good time!! Its perfect for birthdays and bachelorette parties, but I also just enjoy coming for no reason! lol. First, Lucky Chengs current location at the Secret Room is super convenient because it is just steps away from the subway/Port Authority. Its a very cool venue. Coming to Lucky Chengs is truly a memorable experience - come ready to laugh! The food and drinks are excellent. But the best part of any trip to Chengs is of course the wonderful and talented drag queens who make the experience one to remember. Your waitress is both a server and a drag queen. Hostess Svetlana Stoli is hilarious and does an incredible job. The cast is diverse and showcases a vast range of talent - from dancing, to comedy, to live singing, and more. Special guests change day to day, so youll always see different drag performers. Seating is about an hour before the show begins, giving you the ability to order, eat and drink, and hang out with your friends before the show starts. The dinner show includes a 3-course prix fixe, and the brunch shows include an entree and UNLIMITED MIMOSAS (say no more)!! I have come with friends who had special dietary needs, and the staff was VERY accommodating, and able to take care of their needs flawlessly. Since I do frequent Lucky Chengs, I usually I go to brunch the most because its a big bang for your buck! Bring money to tip (dont worry if you dont have singles, the drag queens will make change for you)! Stick around after the show and take pictures with the queens. I brought multi-generational family members to Chengs for dinner in early December, and everyone is STILL talking about what a great time they had, over one month later!!
Super super fun experience!! Highly recommend. First drag show and won’t be the last! The cast was hilarious and entertaining
I cannot express enough the pure joy of this experience. From the wonderful performers to the hangover-curing burgers & fries… pure happiness. Came for a bachelorette party and we all agreed it was a top life event!
This place is AMAZING! Had a great time celebrating a friends birthday. I highly recommend the guacamole, and the parfait dessert was to die for! The food wasnt that bad, but honestly next time I will get the fish. The show was great, its a HUGE celebration of life and love and talent. The ladies were funny and all about positivity. We were able to recognize Jax, who was on Drag Race, and if you think a death drop is something on tv, wait until you see it live! Lucky Chengs is accessible for people with mobility issues, and there are restrooms suitable as well. Bring plenty of singles with you, and money, because the pre-fixe dinner is $55 per person, and the guac and drinks are extra. Even with the price tag, in my opinion it is really worth the trip. Wish I could give more stars for the entertainment alone!
I have been to a lot of Drag Shows in the city but the performance at Luckys was unmatched-every performer brought something unique and celebratory to the show. Prima was such a good host and performer!Becka
The show was great. Very entertaining. The food not so great. There was a roach 🪳 roach in my salad. I got offered a replacement but not a refund. However keep in mind you are really paying for the entertainment. The entertainment makes up for the food.
I don’t understand the bad reviews, first off, the food was great. Second, not only was this an awesome 2 hour+ show, it was THE BEST DRAG SHOW I’ve been to. The ladies were fantastic and worked hard to put on a great show. You get what you paid for and this show was off the hook. Unlimited drinks and really, unlimited!
Such a fabulous, communal party in exactly the right-sized venue for high-energy, cheeky performances mixed with audience involvement. Great cast! Beautiful costumes. Naughty AND nice. Loved it! Get some pals together and go already.
We celebrated a coworker’s birthday there today. We all had a great time. The service was great and the show was amazing. Svetlana was a wonderful host and her crew put on a great show. Thank you for a great time and taking so many pictures with us.
We felt welcomed from the moment we walked in. Svetlana is a star and Jack our waiter and also performer is an absolute legend! We had unlimited mimosa that kept coming and had the best burger from our entire stay in NY...we had a few! Show was great and Dusty Ray Bottoms was a special guest for the evening!Couldnt have been a better evening! Would definitely recommend!! Thank you girllllllsssss
Went to Saturday Drag Brunch and it was incredible! Prima was such a great host , so funny, so energetic, made the whole show.
Lucky Chengs is the best !we didnt come for the food, we came for the beautiful & talented girls,but the food was very good. Luckys has the best show in NYC.
Had so much fun at Lucky Chengs on my trip to NYC! The food was nothing to write home about, but the food isnt really the point. We had an absolute blast and the show was really engaging and fun. Our server (and our favorite performer) was Godiva - she was awesome!
Great fun. Great service. Great audience. Well worth the endless brunch as my mimosa glass was never empty. Performers were fabulous and made everyone feel like a part of the show. Food was aight (but who cares). Great for straight girl bachelorettes and bdays. Camp ❤️
In the words of Chaka Khan, Baby, baby when I look at you/ I get a warm feeling inside. and in the words of hostess Chaka Convict, and I paraphrase, the more you drink the better the show - which also gives one a warm feeling inside!Lets just say these ladies work! Not only are they performing, but in-between numbers they are waiting tables and keeping the mimosas flowing! They all put on an enjoyable show and make sure that everyone is having a blast! This is great for a fun group - you eat and get a great Drag show! Just make sure you TIP - these are working girls!As for the food, we were presently surprised. We came for the show and didnt really expect the food to be as good as it was. It was nothing special, but it was all enjoyable. Some highlights; the spring roll appetizer, the fries, and the Chinese chicken salad (it was surprisingly light and delicious! )Bring your out of town friends that have never seen Drag Queens in their natural environment - this is a safe way to expose them to the art form.And remember to TIP the Queens - let them know how much you are enjoying their performance!
Fantastic drag show and really talented girls! We had an awesome time from the moment we arrived until the last minute of the show. The drinks and food we great but definitely the performers were the best part of the night, and can’t wait to come back and see them again. A special shout-out to Svetlanastoli, who was an amazing host. She also performed and was fabulous.
Really a 3.5 but not a 4.I love drag. I am a huge fan. Ive been to other shows, bars and stage shows. This was my first brunch.I was disappointed by the quality of the performances. It was more about collecting the tip money that it was about earning them. People were so excited to be there that they started waving their dollars before they did anything and so the whole act was most the queen walking around collecting.The food was just meh. I had a veggie burger. Do not get the veggie burger. It was cold in the middle and tasted freezer burned. The fries were good and hot. I asked for mayo and it took nearly 20 minutes to get it.The mimosa service was meh also. The larger tables were given their pitchers to save time so a small table had to flag for refills.it was still fun. its one of the higher rated places but i wish i went to Brita filters skinny brunch. It is hard to find. It is in the basement in a club so dont look for a Lucky Chengs sign. Look for the approximate number and line up.
One of the best performances and experiences I’ve been to. Jokonda’s talent and charisma were 🔥. The positive energy was over the top! Such great emotions and memories. Thank you!
Amazing drag queens! So much talent and a wide variety of performances. My partner and I had VIP reservations and we did not regret it. We had such a blast, we talked about it for days!
We went and it was amazing! We had a hard time finding the door because there was too many people in Times Square and we werent getting a signal. Bit the show was amazing. The food was delicious. Would highly recommend.
I came with my friends just for fun and we had the best time!!! so fun and they were on it with refilling our cups for the bottomless mimosas. I will be back
This is a lively fun place to spend the afternoon drinking, eating and enjoying the best Drag in NYC. The staff is amazing , great food, strong drinks, wonderful ambience and the beautiful Queens do not disappoint, stunning. Fun for a group or solo, you’ll have a great time. The show is approximately 3.5 hours from checking in to out the door, give yourself time to relax, kickback and enjoy ❤️
Bland burger, no ketchup or mustard on it! Entertainment was not great, seen better in Michigan, being NYC I expected much better, also dont look for an actual sign outside the door! Its a copper door, also the bathrooms are pitch black so good luck with your aim
Celebrated my 30th birthday here with my group of friends and had an AMAZING time! Felt so special on my birthday - from the moment I was greeted at the door by the gorgeous queens to the impressive performances throughout dinner. Had the chicken for dinner and it was the perfect portion + tasted delicious. The drinks were also very yummy and got you LIT 🔥 definitely coming back for Sunday brunch!!!
The Queens were amazing and extremely talented. Non-stop entertainment and laughs. Very interactive for those that like participating in the fun. Completely voluntary. This was my first experience and I had an absolute blast.
My sister and I went for their Sunday brunch show. What a treat! We had a blast. The food was really good. I had the butternut squash ravioli, it was fantastic and our mimosas were topped off regularly. Electra is the best!! Friendly, funny, efficient and an excellent performer! Electras efforts definitely made the afternoon even better. Every single one of the queens put on a great show and Sveltana is an excellent host. The DJ (who I believe is the owner also?) was great. She made time to speak with us as we were checking in and she had a great playlist to keep us entertained before the show.It was just a great experience. Wed never been there before, but well definitely return. Thank you to everyone at Lucky Chengs!! You guys are awesome.
Bad food, VERY expensive ($40 for a simple burger) and includes fares that no one warns you about when you order (like a 20% tip built into the order, so its not really your choice and they wont let you decide how much you tip). The show was basically the dancers lip-syncing while collecting money from the audience, hardly any effort was put into the show and neither was there any choreography or anything. We were looking for a fun show in NYC and ended up spending over $200 on a mediocre brunch with mimosas. We will not return to this place.
Fun show featuring a lot of lovely ladies doing their standard drag thing: lip syncing, thrusting, and collecting cash. Unfortunately the VIP tickets werent really worth the extra price, but the general admission and brunch is still worth recommending. Be warned that it comes out to $100/person
I had not been here since they were downtown. Dirty folding tables and folding chairs. The ladies were nice but felt like it has turned into a strip club where you just handing out dollars. Use to be much classier. Would not go back.
Lucky Cheng has been one of the best experiences of my life. The show provides a unique fun experience. They also did a great job promoting the LGTB community. The queens offer an experience that makes the audience feel joy and happiness and laugh for two hours straight. I extremely recommend it to celebrate anniversaries, promotions, and everything that make an individual happy. My girlfriend had the best time!
Just beware of the price here. In addition to the $15 GA ticket, you are required to purchase their brunch for $40, then $9 in fees, then they include a 20% mandatory tip on top of that. Entertaining sure, but expect at least another $60 when you walk through the door after purchasing a ticket. That information they say is available on their website, but they do not do a clear enough job advertising that. Tickets should be listed as $55 plus fees and mandatory tips for brunches (about $75 total per person).
Before I say anything else I want to say that the performers were great! This review is not a reflection of their skill or energy and if you are able to see them at any other venue I highly recommend it!As for the venue and service, this place really fell short.I called the venue 5 hours before their Saturday 8:30 showtime to ask if they still had any VIP spots available. They said yes absolutely, so I purchased two VIP tickets (which are double the price of GA) with a promise of front row seats and some custom lucky chengs merch. I received neither.My seats were in the very back and the merch was presumably the pair of heart shades that were set on the table though Im not sure what was custom about them.Now, Im usually one to deal with this kind of stuff, but this was my birthday dinner, so I did go up to one of the waitresses and ask if I was truly sat at one of the VIP tables and she ROLLED HER EYES and said yes before turning away. On top of this the dinner portions were tinyyyyy.I still tipped well, but I left feeling a little put out which should not have been the case on my birthday and after spending over 150 dollars plus 50 on cash tips :/
Staff is SO sweet and accommodating. My party and I showed up so late, with only 35 mins left of the show. Staff didn’t turn us away and made us feel so welcomed. The show was SO MUCH FUN!!!! Will definitely come back 💖🎉🦄
One of the coolest experiences to be a part of in NYC. The price is EXTREMELY REASONABLE. I mean $40 for unlimited mimosas and good food? - after tax and 20% gratuity is still cheaper than most drag brunches Ive been to in the city. The talent is truly exquisite. If youre a drag fanatic, this is YOUR PLACE TO BE! The waitresses are incredibly sweet and if youre cleberating your bday they bring you on stage and give you a shot. It was overall an amazing experience and I cant wait to be back! Svetlana was a great host and my waitress Catrina was a class act! Thank you for making my visit special!
The drag queens here put on such a funny show! I was planning my best friends bachelorette party and decided to host it here at Drag Queen Show. The queens were all hilarious and told really funny jokes. The cabaret dances they did were very sexy...and I loved the fact that they had dinner and catering included. The food was really delicious and honestly I would go back just for the food itself. The staff was super polite and the entertainment was just the perfect way to top off the evening.
Svetlana is the best host ever! we love her
Had the best night at Lucky Cheng’s with friends - the queens were incredibly talented and the show was an absolute joy to be at - haven’t laughed that much for the longest time! As Lucky Cheng’s had just opened after a year of lockdown, there were lots of provisions in place for everyone’s safety - they operated at partial capacity and checked temperatures on arrival. Tables were well distanced away from each other and everyone there wore masks (even when performing)! Felt totally safe and comfortable!
The best! Ive been to other drag shows and this is by far the best. I love the energy, skills and humor. The queens put so much into their shows. I appreciate the welcoming environment and meeting different people from different walks of life. The food is ok and the drinks are tasty, but I primary went for the pure entertainment. I will go back!
At one time, I would have given this place 4 or 5 stars, but not now. They have driven out my favourite performers, the warm & welcoming heart & soul of the place. For that, they have lost the seasoned talent that made their establishment worth visiting, they have lost my respect, & they have lost my business.
Updating my original review down to 1 star. Do not go here. After the supervisor agreed to a reduced charge, the transaction still cleared my credit card for the original amount. Now Im disputing it with my CC company. Unbelievable. These people are a joke.Original: Very meh. Dont worry about springing for a VIP table. Wont make a difference in your service whatsoever. Our waitress took our meal orders and then never came back to us again the rest of the night. I went to the bar to get more drinks on my own. Watched her attend to every other table around us, though. I spoke to the supervisor afterwards and reduced the tip they automatically tacked on to our check. He was apologetic and agreed to the reduction. Still, it took away from my overall enjoyment. I wouldnt rush back by any means. The performing queens were great, but I was distracted by the lackluster service, especially after paying extra for a VIP chair and the cost of the meal. The place was half empty, so youd think it wouldnt be too much to ask.
It was EFFIN AMAZING!! My first drag brunch ever. I had the Nachos and bottomless mimosas from the Brunch menu. Mimosas were pretty strong too. The whole show was soooo good!! Svetlana Stoli was a great Emcee and performer. Juniormintt as a guest. I am OBSESSED!! I loved it!! I will most definitely be returning!! #HappyPride✊🏾❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I took my daughter here tonight for her 16th birthday. What a blast! The show was awesome and the food was really good.We had a great time. Will definitely be back!
Ive been to many drag performances in the city, and brunches too, some on the water on Eventbrite, and some at The Spot nearby. This was my first time going to the infamous lucky chengs. Ive been generally held back by their prices, but it was my birthday. Altogether, Lucky Chengs is a decent drag performance to go to if youre black in manhattan, but youll be better off going to brooklyn to be honest. They sat us in the back like it was 1958 and we had to beg the performaers to come to our table. It really rubbed me the wrong way considering that their drag brunch is essentially $65 dollars per seat before the many tips.
Food was horrible, service was very nice but very slow despite the place not being full.Shows were mediocre to bad - lipsync was off, jokes were boring and overall just tacky.Godiva was - by far - the best performer!Would not recommend coming here if you enjoy drag or good food!
We went here for Saturday night for a bachelorette party! It was really perfect--the performers and waitresses were amazing, and made the bride feel special by pulling her up on stage and roasting her a little bit (not too much--just enough!). It was Broadway themed, which was a lot of fun, and the food was good too!
NYC’s best drag show! If you’re looking for a great time, great food and fantastic queens and service, this is the place. Can’t go wrong!
First of all, I would like to point out that I had a very good time at the restaurant before it was time for the check. Its a good show and the entertainers are very good at making everyone feel comfortable and very akwardly uncomfortable at the same time! That being said, everything got very sketchy come check time. We got the check for our group (4 people) and gratuity was already added. We put 25% off coupons that we had for the group in and gave the cards to pay. We then got the check back and our cards had been run for the FULL amount with no discount and there was a line for a tip and a line for the total, but no indication that the gratuity had already been added (which it had and I think this is illegal). I told the waitress that we needed these tickets fixed because the discount hadnt been put in. We told them that we had an 11:00 bus to catch, but it still took 45 minutes to get the checks back! Even though we were CONSTANTLY bugging them!We missed our bus and were VERY LUCKY that the company honored our ticket for the next bus (2 hours later) even though we had been told they wouldnt earlier!I do need to add that several other parties in the restaurant had the same issue with the checks and that it really seems as though they bank on people being HAMMERED so they can get away with more money at the end of the night. Its really very sad because it was a great show, but be VERY CAREFUL if you go, because you may be out more money than you should.
We went to the 6:00pm show on 8/6/16. We were a group of 4 and the show was spectacular, but the food was an issue. I will not go back because of the food. I ordered the Beef Teriyaki and was given a plate full of rice and 4 small pieces of beef. The show was AWESOME... so Im glad I went, but the food was disappointing. We split the bill so I paid $76 and left the place hungry because I only had 4 forkfuls because I didnt want to eat the rice without the meat.
This was an amazing night. The queens are fabulous, hilarious, gorgeous......I can go on for days. Im definitely coming back. The food is also good, just not many vegan options if thats what youre in to. You wont go home disappointed.
Our girls night out took us to this New York icon drag restaurant which turned out to be pretty fun. The service was not that good and neither was the food. The drag queens were having fun. We later ventured out to a night club to see the Savage Men male strippers. MTV was there filming an episode on them and we were able to get in some of the video. We had a blast!
Nobody walks into a place wanting or believing that they will have a negative experience at a business, especially when you are excited to celebrate big occasions. BUT...from the moment you enter this place, everything feels and looks cheap...to compound that, the staff has a very confrontational and rude tone to their interactions. What was meant to be and sold as a fun and festive place to celebrate occasions with friends and family is anything but that, the host is degrading, arrogant and rude with very little humor to make one feel that it is part of the show. I wont dwell on the subpar food and drinks because the customer experience and service is so unbelievably bad that it wouldnt have mattered if they were 5 star caliber. There are so many places to celebrate/enjoy your friends and family in NYC and pay top dollar doing so, I would HIGHLY recommend that you find another place to do that. I say all of this disappointedly, we really stepped into this place believing that we would have a great time. 😔
One of the best shows ever that I have the chance to experience. Gretchen was our waitress and she was amazing. The rest of the girls give everything for.the show. Amazing experience in NYC.
Terrible customer service. The main host was angry, rude and disrespectful. Something degrading was said to every person who participated, including the person we were celebrating who was brought to tears by some of the comments and actions. Part of the show was ok, but quickly undone because the food was not good and the server seemed frustrated. The server took my order what are you gonna eat in such a tone, also grabbing the arm of another person in our party to take the drink order. I do not reccomend this place.
I had a great time very funny the queens are amazing hard working and wearing six inch heels to wait on tables and preform in between. Love them would recommend a little expensive but it’s time square. Overall amazing time super fun would go again and would recommend
This is the biggest ripoff space I have been in all New York.The menus don’t have a price to see what you consuming cost.Only some drinks and deserts have price.The food is bad and over charge.They are clearly taking advantage of the people.A piece of salmon or chicken is 45$.The drake-queens give there hart but the restaurant destroy there work.Never again!
The only way to sum up our experience is, WE HAD THE MOST AMAZING TIME. We had a party there last night for a friends 25th birthday. We were a huge party of 17 people and had no idea what to expect because none of us had ever been.The Food:How it works is you can choose from a prefixed menu of $40/$45/$50 per person and get appetizers, entrees and dessert with that. We all chose to do the $45 per person which comes with 4 appetizers and 4 entrees for the whole table and I was very worried there wasnt going to be enough food for all 17 of us. Not the case at all! They brought out PLENTY of each dish. The appetizers are a little underwhelming but the entrees were very tasty. Keep in mind while dining that you truly arent there for the food so you cant go expecting to be served a 4 star meal.The Show:The show was absolutely PHENOMENAL. The MC was hilarious and extremely witty, being able to play off the crowd instead of having something scripted. I had no idea what to expect from the show but it was a perfect mixture of crowd interaction and performances. At the end of the show they did a crowd participation where they grouped a guy and a girl and had a competition. We came with about 8 guys and 2 of them got picked to go on stage and it was LITERALLY one of the funniest things Ive ever witnessed. All of us at the table could not control our laughter. I suggest going with both guys and girls, but make sure the guys come with an open mind and just have fun with it, because watching them on stage was one of the most hysterical things ever.The Service:The service was great. Our waitress was Kim Chi Chi and was awesome. She was very attentive and made sure our drinks were full at all times. She was also BY FAR our favorite performer because hers was HILARIOUS. I know serving a big party of 17 is tough, especially when its family style and in our party of 17, 1 person was a vegetarian, another allergic to seafood and another that doesnt eat red meat. Thankfully though our waitress handled everything and everyone was pleased.Overall, if you are thinking of going here for a fun and different night, DO IT. We all live in New York and said this was one of the most fun dining experiences weve all had. However, IT IS NOT CHEAP. DO NOT GO HERE here unless you are prepared to spend about $100-150 per person. If you are prepared to splurge a little it is absolutely worth it!!!
Came here in July 2010. OMG, I am so glad I went. The drag queens were so awesome and friendly. We got pics with them after the show. Then, my favorite part was karaoke at the other part of the establishment. I was just in heaven this night!
For the price I paid for the tickets the service was poor. It says you get a 3 course meal all we got was a salad and a choice of a burger or a chicken wrap. Both me and my date have food allergies and I was not able to eat my salad and she was not able to eat her wrap because the food was served as is, with no adjustments to it. We ordered mozzarella sticks and a warm brownie for dessert and non of that ever came to our table. Ordered 2 bottles of water and only got 1. On top of it all 3 people performed that night. Highly over rated and very disappointed over the whole experience.
I had a great time, food was okay. The hostess was great and the performances were fantastic. Our server, Gretchen was very entertaining . I would recommend the venue .
Not much good to say about my experience here. Very expensive for what you get. Four of us and we walked out with a $500 bill. I expected a drag show where several drag queens come out at once and perform as a group. Nope, this was a few drag queens coming out one at a time like you would see in a bar-- nothing special. I also thought there would be an Asian theme because of the name, none of the drag queens were Asian. Food was just ok, portions were small. The space is a joke, it looks like a banquet hall that is used for other events, no Asian theme whatsoever. Tables are lined up like you are at a wedding. It all seemed real cheap and amateur. Perhaps an ok experience for a tourist who has never seen a drag show before.
We decided to go for brunch for a friends birthday! Food was delicious and the show was fantastic and the mimosas were bottomless till 5!!. I highly recommend going
We had a blast, and the food was excellent. The performers excellent. My favorite was Paulina. I recommend anyone for a great show I will gladly say Lucky Cheng is the best place to go.
I sat on the bar. Drinking is mandatory for everybody. Drag show supposed to start 45 min after they open. It actually started 1:15 after opening. Artist are great !Update: I forgot to mention they add sparkling water to the mimosas. That’s totally not ok.
The food was not good at all.. for the price their charging most of it is not edible. Disappointing. The rice and the pasta tasted weird. No bueno. The salmon was ok. Most of the Queens were entertaining.
Lucky Chengs is really best in Drag show! Had the best time and bridal party enjoyed the experience to the fullest!Mad love for these sistas! Pride at its BEST.
The show was good, very funny. The food was just ok, their menu is family style with decent portions. The main problem I had with the food, is that everything came out cold. I think the food would have been good if warm.
I heard they fired one of my favourite drag queens in a text message. Every time I went to New York, I live in Sweden, I always made sure to visit Lucky Chengs. But that wont happen any more. I will go where the drag queen in question goes and spend my money there instead.
Lucky Chengs is a great place to go for a fun night out in NYC. Everyone that works there is just fabulous! The entire time there was fun and entertaining. The drinks were outstanding and the food was delicious. I will recommend Lucky Chengs to anyone that is visiting NYC!
I am severely disappointed with Lucky Chengs. Terminating an amazing performer through a text message is reprehensible. What brought you to such a low? What happened to being professional and keeping unity within the LGBTQ+ community? Childish and uneducated jealous management is my guess.
They killed it! Great show, good food, fun brunch, great and clean space…all a 10! This was a perfect show for a celebration or just a killer brunch. Recommend to anyone
The Drag Queen Show in NYC was super funny and hilarious! Loved the way the drags engaged the audience...my boyfriend got picked on and it was super funny. They were really entertaining and knew how to keep everyone laughing for two hours. It was a fun night and Ill definitely be back for more!
Their food is not well cooked. The drag queen show itself is alright, but honestly the best part of it is the audience participation more than anything else. Honestly, I think its good to experience this place once but I wouldnt return for a second time.
Me and my wife have come to lucky cheng so many times is incredible. The food is not the greatest but the show makes up for it. The performances are the best. Well be there again next yr
One of the best drag brunches I’ve been to. And I’m gay. So take with that what you will.
Terrible customer service, did not give a chance to communicate things thoroughly and give a comfortable solution to all involved, instead chose to view things in a negative light and destroy the potential of having a good time. Every person deserves to be heard but to react with anger and impatience shows a lack of consideration for the well-being and service to the customer. What if the moment was so important for this person to experience, having had a stressful week, words can kill if not careful and in this instance, I can see the inconsideration, impatience, anger, disrespect and lack of regard for the customer. It could have been handled differently and it was not and never will be, the scar of the experience can affect someone forever. Instead of handling it in this way, it could have been handled in a way that would be clear but still positive. The ganging up has to stop, people are not there to create any kind of problem, they’re there to enjoy themselves. If there was some kind of policy, it could have been spoken about in a way that would let the person know that it is not allowed but they are welcome to come when the time is right. They lost a potential customer from ever coming again.
Nice fake review Zuniga to take their family and friends. you review just sounds like B-Roll all i see is happy and sad fake expressions. You had no real experience at Lucky Changs what ever your motive was competition or boredom, requires a special kind of stupid.LC is not meant for family dinners unless you enjoy feeling awkward around your kids and parents.
Best Drag experience in NYC! Ive been twice and I cant wait to go back. Food is delicious, staff is fierce but friendly and the entertainment is on point. Tens, tens, tens across the board.
Had such an amazing experience! Came here for my birthday. Food was tasty and the show was fantastic. Highly recommend.
Incredible show and incredible ladies!! One of the best drag shows Ive been to in my life, been five times and Ill be back again!!love you Lucky Chengs!!!
Wasnt prepared for the very sexual and racial tone. Entertainment was ok - mostly lip singing and audience participation. Food was decent, but service was horrible. Kept forgetting about us and didnt even give us our final course.
Great place i took my daughter for her 18th birthday and the show was great, the waiters which is the show were fabulous Im definitely taking my lady much fun
The food, service and performance were all excellent!!! We took my friend daughter for brunch and she had a blast! Highly recommend!!!
Great QUEENS, nice venue too. Decent food (crunchy fries). 100% go for brunch (bottomless mimosas).
Princess Paulina was HILARIOUS. The other drags needed to work on their routine a little more. The food was nothing to write home about! The portions are a good size but the food was very bland.
Such a fun drag brunch that is entertaining! Been here a few times now and will continue to support the performers who are incredibly talented
The show was INCREDIBLE!! and the girls are so cool and friendly, participation is required in order to have fun
This restaurant really sucked, the food is God AWFUL and the entertainment is borderline a disgrace. Everything is over priced and the really not worth the money. You should spend a few dollars on the corner food cart and see a great Broadway show on the same block before you patronize this dump.
The most fun i’ve ever had!!! everyone was so talented, this was my favorite thing i’ve done in New York. We all loved it so much
Its an amazing fun experience. The best show ever, and the staff is very warm, friendly and hosting, especially Tiera
Had a fun time here went for a friends bday enjoyed myself had a few drinks watched the show first time seeing drag queens in person it was great
A staple of weird downtown Manhattan (previously the bohemian East Village) Lucky Chengs has been offering off-color cross dressing theatrical performances for years.
Amazing! We came on a whim and it was raunchy, entertaining and full of flair! Love love love and will bring others next time Im in town.
So much fun!! Celebrated my daughters 21st birthday there. We had a blast!
