Lucky Bird - Berkeley

Wonderful food! The new place is now called cousins Asian street food.

Long overdue... We were heading to the area for froyo (yep, all the way from Union City just for froyo... right? since we saw it on TV so we decided to find a spot for dinner. The good ratings lured us in and walked in with a little over an hour before closing. Couple of tables waiting but it seemed empty behind the counter so it took a while for someone to even take our order, and when they did they were out of everything I wanted to order. Stuck with the chicken since that's pretty much what they had left with either rice or garlic noodles. And did I tell you they only had outside seating at the time so we were freezing since the heat lamps were not working since they were out of whatever it is that needs to turn it on, which is not the best situation when there's only one person doing everything, including the cooking. Oh boy... we must've picked the wrong day to come here. Food was nothing to write home about proven by the leftovers, which we opted to box which didn't get consumed either. One of the few times Yelp failed for us, but like I said, could've been wrong timing but still wouldn't go out of my way for a second try.

Came here during open hours and it was closed with absolutely no explanation or warning.

They were out of many food options however, both dishes were a MUST TRY! I feel like I am typically picky with food and these both were excellent!

Food: Ya-Ya Chicken with Garlic Noodles (2.5/5) Overall portion of this was large. Chicken was crispy but tasted a bit dry. Chicken itself didn't have much flavor. Garlic Noodles was 20% saltier and drier than it should have been. Flavor was okay. Service: Staff was friendly but food took a while to make even though there was maybe one group before us.
