Me and my family were driving from long ways away and hadn't eaten anything for a day. So we saw this was near by and thought Chinese food sounded good in the moment we went expecting a restaurant is was in a grocery store and it was horrible. The people were nice but then again they weren't the best. We tried eating but we couldn't because it was awful. The only decent thing was orange chicken and fried rice but that was burnt a bit.

Old-school Chinese restaurants, some of the staff have limited English, but although the service is not friendly, it is efficient and the restaurant is clean. The menu is loaded with pictures so if you have difficulty deciphering what the food items are, you can take a peek. The appetizers are delicious, including the chicken feet, salt and pepper squid and the entrée sole salt and pepper deep-fried is good too. My only complaint is that if the prices on the menu or not would appear on your bill! My dinner ended up being over $70 with tip is I was charged more than the mini price. I paid the bill this time but if I do go back, I will call them out on it.

Located inside Dierbergs, full service Chinese restaurant. Not much seating so best for to go orders. Food is made to order in front of you. Shrimp and rice has a Very good flavor and price is unbeatable.

There used to be a better selection at Dim Sum here. Hard to know if something is vegetarian or not, even if you ask the servers. What they have is still good, but over seasoned or over soy sauced. The restaurant is clean and the parking is plenty. We went on a Saturday, maybe Sunday is better.

We stopped in after 7pm, and they close at 8, so I will say that if you were just wanting one or two meals the ready-to-go options were a little limited- but we ordered a family pack and were able to browse for a few groceries while they whipped up fresh lo-mein for us- everything was great and I will definitely be back ?Wheelchair accessibility: It's just inside Dierbergs doors; definitely accessible

My favorite dim sum spot. The shu mai are always good and I always get the hot and sour soup during the winter. The sticky rice in lotus leaf is also a favorite.

Wow! We haven’t been in quite some time but remember it being the place for authentic & delicious Chinese food. Not tonight! We ordered online—first time for that. No mention that you must order rice because we didn’t get any with our food order. I asked for mooshu pork—we got chicken. I asked them to roll the pancakes for us— they did not; no green onions and the “pancakes” were flour tortillas—yes, they were. Orange chicken? I think they forgot the sauce— it was basically fried chicken pieces with a little something on it and a few pieces of orange rind. We also had black pepper beef which was pretty bland & flavorless. The beef was pretty nice pieces of what looked like lean flank steak in a brown sauce with lots of onions and a few pieces of chopped pepper. And to top It off, there was only one woman working that we could see. She could not find our order when we came in and finally handed my husband a stack of papers and told him to find our order. She didn’t speak good English, so that may have been part of the issue. The restaurant has seen better days. It looks dirty and very old inside—not well kept. Doesn’t look like a place you’d want to sit down at a table to eat. This was a huge disappointment.

Kung Pao Chicken. All chicken totally fatty. Very greasy food. Looked like interesting restaurant. Food was disappointing. Did not bother to bring home leftovers. Customer service poor. Large selection menu. First visit. Would not go back.

What I do not like is the parking space. The parking is tight. Surprise that the dim sum is good. Over the years the egg tart have gotten smaller. Now its just bit size. BBQ Pork bun, there was too much sugar syrup. There should only be enough were the fingers doe not touch it. The typical dim sum dish, har gow and siu mai are good. The BBQ Pork is good, the portion is some what smaller than what I am use to. Then again its the right amount where there are no left over BBQ Pork. The sticky rice wrap in banana leaves have gotten small. From other reviews about the lady at the front. The reviews are correct, she does have an attitude. Be kind. The type of customers that she have to deal with could be the reason for her attitude. There are some customer that are so special, there is nothing you can do to please them. Then there are some customer say that there is a hair in the food. The hair is either blond, brunette or red, while all the employee hair are black.
Very good and authentic Chinese food. Our best dishes were the fried fish and the Peking duck. Service was good. Plenty of parking.

Went on a Sunday morning with my sons and four grandkids (ages 7-17). We had a wonderful experience. As soon as we sat down the food carts stated coming. Since we have been coming here for years, we have a lot of favorites. They were delicious as usual.

Stopped in on Christmas day to have dinner. Was seated fairly quickly and they immediately came around to take a drink orders from a card that was coming around the restaurant and we picked up a few appetizers the same way.They came over to order our entrée. It was about two hours before the entrées came. Granted they were very very busy and when we got the food it was fantastic. Regardless we never got any updates or refills during this two hour wait.However as far as the food goes it was absolutely delicious. I would put their General’s chicken up against anyone’s.Have they just taken a little bit of time to refill drinks and updated us on the order I could’ve easily given a five star.

Everything was sort of smushy and bland. I didn't like it. Edible, but extreme meh. My 19 YO kid thought it was pretty decent though. I'm still super sad the China Inn (that place off Schuetz near Page) went out of business. They were pretty great.

WE tried Lu Lu Seafood on a Saturday night at after reading TA reviews. We experienced such a horrendous reception and treatment from a middle aged male waiter when we arrived that we were walking out when the manager intervened and we agreed to stay if she could give us a different wait person. The service improved when a waitress took our orders. Food was ok, though I was led to believe that the fried fish was lightly battered and fried. The fish was very heavily battered and deep fried. It was enough food for 3 people, and frankly, shockingly unhealthy. But in truth, it was an ordering error on my part and I should have ordered a steamed fish, my original intent. There menu is large and I'm sure there are other good selections. Due to the unusual rudeness of the waiter, who clearly did not want us there, we would probably not return. Still not sure if his issues were due to homophobia or that he did not want a table after 8pm (which seems early for closing on a Saturday and other customers came in after us and sat in his section). Perhaps both.
