Lucky Garden

This place is the best authentic Chinese restaurant in RI.

It's so unassuming - in a little strip mall on Smith Street in North Providence.

You enter, and they are all business. There are 3 different menus on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon: Authentic Chinese, American-Chinese, and Dim Sum.

We ordered from the authentic Chinese menu and the Dim Sum.

We got 1 bowl of the pork and conch soup - so good! Clear dark broth with pork and conch pieces.

Then, the stir fried peapod leaves with garlic, head-on salt and pepper shrimp, ginger and scallion beef, steamed seabass with ginger and scallion, stir fried noodles with scallions, steamed beef balls, steamed pork dumplings with vinegar, and steamed rice noodle with shrimp.

Oh, so good. I am going to eat the leftovers with the Dinnerman now!
