Luc's Diamond Restaurant - Raymond

Ignore the negative reviews. This place is a gem. It’s a mom & pop operation and the food is excellent. Sometimes the owners have to step out and run errands. Not the end of the world. Sometimes they go on vacation. They always put a sign on the door if they’re going to be closed. They’re not really internet users so don’t rely on the google for details. Call ahead to be sure. Nobody who eats here on a regular basis reads or cares about these reviews anyway. But if you’re from out of town and unsure let me put your mind at ease. For the freshest food order off the menu. If you have more than 3 people it makes more sense to order off the menu anyway since you’ll get fresher food than the buffet, you’ll get exactly what you want, and it will cost the same or less than the buffet. For example, four of us ate dinner here the other day and we ordered lemon chicken which is never on the buffet. We ordered 4 dishes and dinner was cheaper than if the four of us had ordered the buffet. The savings really add up if you have 5 or more. I’ve eaten here dozens of times. My favorites are cantonese noodles with pork, lemon chicken, sweet & sour pork, wonton soup, and chicken balls sauce on the side. The wanton soup is the best I’ve ever had. The broth is amazing. Don’t hesitate. You’ll love this place. Just remember you’re in a town of 4000 people. Not a michelin star restaurant in Beijing.
