Of all the new restaurant concepts and ghost kitchens born in the pandemic, Lucky Danger has been, well, pretty lucky. The Chinese-American takeout from chefs Tim Ma (formerly Kyirisan and American Son) and Andrew Chiou (ex-Momo Yakitori) has sold out every day since its November takeover of Prather’s Alley in Mt. Vernon Triangle. Now, the concept is headed to a permanent Arlington restaurant space. The all-day carryout is slated to open in April with a similar menu of takeout classics—dumplings, kung pao chicken, broccoli beef—and a “secret” menu of more traditional Chinese dishes like pig ear salad and whole stuffed fish.
