“Wow! What a find in Santa Barbara for delicious Chinese food. The service is friendly and personal by owner chef Dani. The hot chili oil and Bao are made by her and are worth a trip by themselves. Lots of healthy choices for meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans. Sorry no photos, too delicious to take time for them!“
“Great dive bar! Has a cool atmosphere and the building and restaurant has a lot of history. The service was pretty good, our drink orders were taken right away. As it got later it got really busy and service was a little slower but it made sense. We both ordered the boo boo kitty and it was delicious, more alcohol forward and not overly sweet, just how we like it“
“Madam Lu Chinese restaurant is the best Chinese restaurant in all the land. All of the land that I've been to anyway, which notably does not include China. But I would put Madam Lu Chinese food up against Chinese Chinese food (in China) any day. And them ants on the tree sure are spicy.“
“I really enjoyed the dinner I had. When you walk in there is a sign noting they are short staffed but despite that they make you feel welcome and service was very attentive. Our server had a great sense of humor as well. The beef and broccoli was delicious. The honey walnut shrimp was tasty as well but a bit too much sauce for my preference. Portions are plentiful and filling. You can order a side of rice which we did to pair with our meals. Overall we had a great time here!“
“I have been to this restaurant many times but I finally got around to writing a review. Everything tonight was wonderful as always. Their Dan Noodles are so tasty. The cubed beef can't be beat. The au chou was superb. The atmosphere is charming and friendly. The wait staff very friendly and helpful. I would go again and again. They've never disappointed. If you want good Chinese food in Santa Barbara this is the place for you. Don't miss it. Terrific!!!!“
