This place is accurate when it claims«it is the bomb» on their outside board. The bubble teas are great, the food is great, and the pries are affordable. My favorite is the pad Thai. However, they hav so many other options: curry, lo mein, mekatung, and tom yum to name a few. Also get an order of egg rolls as you will love them. I always find their medium orders enough to not only feed me, but usually I have left overs, which is great for the prices they charge.

Really nice staff. Food, not so nice. The chicken and broccoli also included fried rice, but it was bad. Like expired bad. The chicken was barely warm, like it came from the fridge and they microwaved and gave it to me, but whatever I just ate the broccoli. The boba tasted fresh, so this place is as legit as you can get it in Elkhart.

Ironic that the a joint called the Lucky Donut is known to have«It’s the bomb» pad thai. Pad Thai being my default choice when dining out at a Thai restaurant, I had to give this place a try, so I ordered the chicken pad thai. The portions were as large as everyone had previously stated in their reviews. There were two things that stuck out to me about the pad thai: the noodles and the toppings. I was a bit offset by the coloring of the noodles, as they were almost a bright orange, but they had been cooked perfectly. The taste was of definite pad thai, but it was overly sweet, which makes sense because they make donuts, right? Not a favorite of sweet meals though, since desserts and a mid-course should be separate. Next, the toppings were actually were the main star that shined through the dish. The sweetness was lightened a bit with the large amount of green onions, peanuts, and veggies. I really liked this aspect of the dish. I had dined in, so I feel that I became a bit more biased in wanting to up a few more stars into this review. The person taking orders was extremely nice and welcoming, as he immediately wanted to offer free samples of any dish that I had shown interest in. In addition, he welcomed me to dine in, even though it was closing time. The overall atmosphere is more of a hole-in-the-wall feel and of a locally-owned joint. I do not know if I want to come back for the dishes… maybe a few donuts? Who knows, maybe I will come back when I am itching to find what’s «the bomb» in Elkhart.

The owner is very friendly and hysterical as he came out into the dining area to greet his patrons. This is a no frills quick service place that sells Thai-Chinese food, donuts, and bubble teas. We had the Pad Thai w/shrimp, Panang Chicken w/white rice and thai bubble tea smoothies. The flavor of everything was good and the portion size of Pad Thai was excellent!

I live in South Bend and I heard good things about Lucky’s. Went out there with my sisters so we all got something different so we can try each others. I got the pad Thai with shrimp, but unfortunately it could have had more shrimp. I was disappointed with that. I was able to sample the garlic chicken and sweet and sour chicken and those were definitely better to me than the pad Thai. I will say the staff was super friendly. Egg rolls great and since the chinese places have gone downhill in SB I will be back to try another dish.

Love this place!!! I always order take out. it’s much more convenient. Pad Thai is superb!!! Best cheese wonton and eggrolls any where. Only thing I do not like is the donuts. Very dry, not very sweet and frosting isn’t great either. Best place for take out but not donuts :)

First of all, their name just cracks me up. I have never seen a Thai place that also makes donuts! I heard they bought an old Dunkin Donuts location and kept on making donuts. Why not, right? At first, I was really excited to find a Thai place in Elkhart. I absolutely love Thai food, and was ready to make Lucky Donuts my go-to whenever the craving hit. I figured getting their Pad Thai was a good way to see how they compared to other Thai restaurants. The Pad Thai was… okay. It was pretty dry, not a lot of nuts, and not as flavorful as I was hoping. The price isn’t bad, and the portion size is pretty generous for what it is. They prepare the food pretty quickly, which was great since my friend and I were on a quick lunch break and needed take-out. All in all, not bad. I’m willing to go back and try their Panang curry and see if that makes me change my mind.

A must if you are in the area! Donuts are fresh and tasty. Thai food is very flavorful, can select level of heat, each dish is prepared just for you, and friendly staff. I highly recommend Lucky’s Donuts and Thai. If you’re not sure exactly what you want, they help if you tell them the ingredients you like. As the owner says, «It’s the bomb!!»

A donut Thai restaurant is a bit odd, but the food is excellent and the staff is very friendly. I tried spicy vegetarian pad Thai, veg spring roles and paneng veg with tofu and hot chili sauce. Delicious. They should change the sign.

Donut shop décor(hard seats; no frills), and it takes a long time to get your food… so you might want to call ahead for take out. But the food is great. I’ve had the shrimp pad thai and green papaya salad: both excellent, and the serving sizes are very generous(especially for the price): the large is really 1.5−2 meals, for around $ 10. Heads up that the food is not spicy at all unless you specifically ask for it to be. I had a shrimp pad see ew once a few months ago that was only ok, but I don’t think pad see ew is even on the menu any more. The apple fritter is excellent(moist, not too sweet), while a cream-filled donut was lackluster, so there are definitely hits and misses in the donut side of the house. But the apple fritter has been great every time I’ve tried it.

Don’t let the name deceive you. They’ve got much more than just donuts. The food is amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever had anything bad there. A little secret: they have phở and it is really good! Their pad thai is awesome. Lucky, the owner, is pretty funny as well. The food there is the« and will make your mouth say wow.» Haha

Where else can you get Asian food and donuts? Donuts are good and very low priced! You can get any food from Pad Thai to Bourbon Chicken. Egg rolls are amazing. Food is very low priced for the quality! Call ahead to have your order ready to pickup, the place is small and they are always busy.

The pad Thai is the best we’ve had, and the prices are reasonable. The restaurant décor is basic, but the food is not. Looking forward to trying more from the menu.

Delicious!!! To be honest, the first few times we drove past this establishment we swore we would never eat there… Now it’s the ONLY place in Elkhart County that we’ll order Asian cuisine from!(Talk about eating your words. Haha!) Their tofu selection is amazing, their sweet and sour chicken is by far the best we’ve tasted ever, I especially enjoy their curry and their Pad Thai can’t be beat. I guarantee if you try this place you will not be disappointed.

We first ordered the egg rolls. Delicious. Served hot and tasty either by themselves or even with their sweet and sour which has a nice hint of ginger. My wife had the Pad Thai with shrimp. Tasted as good as we had while traveling to Thailand this last August. Spot on delicious. I had the Padang which was excellent as well. The chicken was tender, the vegetables crisp yet cooked and the sauce was creamy with all the taste of ginger, coconut and curru. I asked for it to be spicy and it was so only ask for this if you like it like I do. Bit spicy for my wife but loved it. We both ordered the medium portion and it was big so their large must be really huge. The only reason it is not a five star is that the décor is dated and not well kept up and distracts from the food a bit. If they would invest in a Thai themed décor this place would be a five star. If you know and love Thai food or want to try good Thai food, stop by this establishment. P. S. They do serve donuts but we did not order any as Thai food was my focus. :)
