We decided to try LuLu's for the first time and ordered carry-out, despite some of the negative reviews and low rating. We were so happy we did! Prices were reasonable and portions were generous and the food was amazing!! Those crab rangoon are perfect! We've had so many issues trying to find a good Chinese restaurants close to us and now we have found our new place. I can't wait to have my daughter try the Rangoon; she is super picky about it and I'm sure the ones from LuLu's will even win her over. My husband said the staff was very friendly too. We ordered: Vegetable Lo mein Kong Pao Chicken Chicken fried rice Hot & sour soup Egg drop soup Crab Rangoon All were delicious!! Absolutely no complaints! read more

Enjoyed my meal at LuLu. Service was pretty quick. Not many people there when I was there. It feels older in there with the bright red everything, but I wasn't worried about cleanliness. Would come back. read more

This is NOT the Lulu restaurant we come to eat at or take our years ago. Will NOT comeback either since don't receive any value for order. We were in st Louis and decided to order take out. The "Chicken Fried Rice" was practically NO chicken meat, almost All rice but look at pictures and decide for yourself. The Kon Po chicken tasted stale and too much sauce with very small portion. The crab ran goon were nice size but not hot. Only item that was tasty was stir fried vegetables. For the $ and mediocre quality, it's not worth it. My wife did even want to eat her meal. And fried rice went uneaten trying to find a piece of chicken now and then. read more

A classic STL establishment for delicious dim sum and authentic Chinese food. Prices are so reasonable and portions are large. It's one of my family's go-to staples in St. Louis! read more

Met some friends for lunch, we were wanting Dim Sum and decided to check out LuLu's. So good! We arrived at 11:00, and when we sat they started bringing around carts of goodies. We opted for the calamari, sesame rolls with bean paste, noodles, beef ribs, a pork sweet roll, and a few other steamed items that I'm not sure what they are - we just know they are good. As we sat enjoying one another's company the amount of food kept increasing. We ended up seeing dumplings, BBQ pork, many veggies, and some possible tofu make the rounds. Go hungry, you will not leave that way. From what I saw on their website they offer Dim Sum all week, so many opportunities to try it. The restaurant is large enough to have plenty of seating and space between the tables so you do not feel in the way as they make their way around with the trays. Color scheme is red and gold, traditional Chinese colors. Great experience overall. read more

We love Lulu's! Been coming here for years. Have tried many places in the area and Lulus remains are favorite. The 15 year old in the family is a connoisseur of sesame chicken and has deemed Lulu's to be the best in the city. We also love their dumplings, Rangoon, pork buns, kung pao chicken and other dishes we have tried. They got overly busy for a year or two in COVID and were a little slower during that time but these days they are quick with prompt service as well. read more

This place has potential to be so delicious and great but it was subpar. We got there and got seated by a nice gentleman and the old asian man walked up to our table and said "you need to wait till I seat you". like- someone just sat us down. but okay... Took a while to start getting carts to our table and my edamame was cold and there were the same items circling the floor. Variety was mid. i asked for rice rolls and they brought out a huge dish of flat noodles... At this point I was annoyed with the service and my food not being good. We decided to check out and had to take our ticket to the front ourselves. the guys at the counter took forever and we were in line to PAY for 10 minutes. it's also overly expensive for what they offer. I'll never come back. read more

Sundays are for Dim Sum This could easily become my cherished Sunday routine. The variety is impressive, and I tried my fair share of dishes, but my heart always circles back to the standout - the peppered fish. There's something about its perfectly seasoned bite, the balance of spice, and the tender fish that keeps me ordering it. Dim Sum was so fun. The carts were flying around the restaurant, each with different foods and things to try. They offer Dim Sum on Saturdays and Sundays! This is a must try! read more

First time trying Crab Rangoon here. Service was pretty fast. It would be great if they sold the refreshing smoothie drinks they have posted up on the wall by the food menu as if they were sold there. It was a hot day and I just knew I was going to get something cold to sip on. I was told that the smoothie poster is decoration. Not so good on drink options. Food is great! read more

Solid eatery for good Chinese Dim Sum (small plates) on weekends. Servers roll carts of appetizer/shareable plates; you pick/try what you like by choosing the type of appetizer dishes. Asian decor throughout the restaurant with friendly and efficient service. Plan to come with a group so you can sample a wide variety of dim sum foods. Overall, 3.5+ rating for me on food selection, service and ambience. Expect to pay $15-25pp depending how much and what you order, which is charged by plate "size" (S, M, L, XL) during dim sum hours. Today we tried a "variety" of Dim Sum dishes, including steamed Shrimp dumplings, Seafood dumplings, Veggies, Pork dumplings, Turnip cakes, Shrimp & Leek pan fried dumplings, Sticky Rice with meat and more. Finished the meal with a flaky sweet egg (custard) pastry. All were tasty and filling! My only callout was I didn't see some "other" dim sum items we usually enjoy such as Tarrow, baked BBQ pastries, Crispy pork belly, stuffed eggplant or peppers etc. So be aware the weekend selections may be limited or rotated. You can also order off their regular menu if wanting larger or specialty dishes (ie. noodles, rice, soup, etc) of traditional Chinese meals. But if you like the Dim Sum experience. LuLu's is a solid spot. Enjoy!! read more

The food was just okay, it wasn't anything to write home about. The steamed pork bao buns were just warm, not hot. The lady running the front was very overwhelmed so we made sure to give a decent tip. Expect a wait during holidays or weekends. read more

I've never had a bad experience here so, I'm lucky I guess! Service is always friendly; even with language barriers you can communicate just enough or else someone else comes by and helps so it all works out. I love that they recognize me as a regular and even the sometimes surly cashier will offer me a smile. LOL! Favorites: Sunday dim sum. Don't see what you want on a cart? Ask for it and they'll put in a special order for you! Shrimp long noodles (the ones with the sauce the pour on when they serve them to you and the cut with scissors for you), har gow (shrimp dumplings), seafood dumplings, shrimp & leek dumplings, roasted duck, bbq pork, salt & pepper calamari, Chinese broccoli, garlic green beans, Singapore noodles, Thai curry shrimp, dragon balls, and more! Overall the restaurant looks very nice at first glance, just don't look too closely. You'll find it needs a deep clean and some updating. But it all adds to the experience! Parking can be tricky and tight, but I've always found a spot. read more

This place is packed on Sundays! This isn't my first time visiting this eatery. Not impressed with food or service. But I refuse to go to the other dim sum place down the street, so we ended up here today. Food - bland. tasted old. I feel like we could have gotten better dim sum from the freezer at the grocery store. We ordered about 15 dishes. And the only dish that was decent was the taro pancake. My mom is obsessed with chicken feet. And she always order extra togo everywhere we go. She took a bit of their chicken feet and spit it out instantly. This is my first time seeing that. Service - non existent. We had to wave our waiter down to get refills or extra napkins. He gave us wrong tea and forgot our rock sugar even though we asked several time. We get it. They are busy. But they are not short of staff. No excuses. Despite the 3 star reviews, we will continue to come here until there is a new dim sum place in town. This eatery tastes little better and much less expensive than the one down the street. read more

Just got take out from here for lunch/dinner and I'm glad I didn't check the yelp reviews first or I might not have gone! It was pretty empty when I went to pick up my food and honestly I was prepared to love them just for how my order was packaged. Everything was hot, the Crispy Eggplant was seperate from the sauce so it stayed crunchy, the Hot Pepper Chicken was crunchy still (and addicting), the wontons in chili sauce were wrapped separate so nothing spilled, and the Singapore Rice Noodles are a new favorite. Everything had a satisfying spice with the Szechuan pepper and great over all texture and flavor! read more

This place has been super packed lately. The food was great, but it came out a lot slower because of a crowded Sunday. The restaurant inside is huge, and honestly I'm surprised that they can remember every table's requests. I would try going when it's less crowded, but I don't know when that time is! read more

Picked up dim sum and hot n sour soup. All were terrible! $30 down the drain! Do not recommend going here.

This place is fantastic. Had a craving for Chinese and stopped by on the Friday after Thanksgiving. We were the only people in the restaurant.l, though there was quite a bit of carry out happening. We had some dim sum, Chinese broccoli, salt and pepper shrimp, ma po tofu, and some goons. All were absolutely excellent. I'm surprised that the place isn't more busy but I will give it up to the holiday. I will definitely be going back and hopefully they will have more dim sum available. read more

Great dimsum spot, love their radish cake and the environment is very familial. Service can be a little slow, especially during busy rush hours, but that's what I expect from a decent asian restaurant. My go-to for sunday dim-sum and a bit cheaper than wonton king down the street. read more

I've had their food and love it but I've tried to call about catering and can't really get a real idea of what prices are. There's a bit of a language barrier and he didn't know the word catering and I wasn't sure how else to explain what I was asking. I tried their food when it was catered so I know they do it. read more

We decided to stop here once we got in town. The food was delicious . The place was very dark inside while we dined in. read more

Lulu is one of our go-to restaurants for Chinese food. This review is for takeout from the Rock Hill location on Manchester Road. I called ahead and some of their dim sum items and rice porridge wasn't available at this location unfortunately; they are usually made at their main restaurant on Olive Blvd. We ordered won ton soup, xiao long bao (soup dumplings), sticky rice in lotus leaf, and crispy pan fried noodles with seafood sauce. Everything was delicious! The won ton soup was flavorful but not too salty, and it hit the spot because I was feeling under the weather. My kids gobbled up the soup dumplings, and the sticky rice in lotus leaves was so hearty and full of savory meat. The noodles probably taste better in the restaurant, but my family still liked the fried crispy noodles at home too. The seafood sauce had very little any seafood so I added some more protein later. Hopefully we will try more dim sum items here soon! read more

OMG!!!! This place is unbelievable...I have NEVER in my life met a server so mean EVER!! A peer of mine has a food allergy, asked "are there any fish in this?" Server stops, looks at him and replies "based upon what you ordered, why would you ask me that?" Wow! I was with five of my employees, we are at the Cardinals game tonight, this occurred 8 hours ago and we are STILL talking about it!!!! The only reason is gets a 2 star is because the food...amazing! Great portions, family style servings. So if you don't mind some of the worst service you will experience in your life EVER. Go for it!! read more

The best dim sum in STL! Get you all the dumplings. Never made a reservation and never waited for a table.

First time ordering from here. Called and ordered dinner for my family. 2 vegetable friend rice, 1 sesame chicken, 1 chicken lo mein, 2 orders of vege egg rolls and 1 large hot and sour soup. Lady on the phone was impatient and said it would be ready in half an hour. She called back 10 minutes later and had to reconfirm the order line by line. Got there on time and found that there were a couple other folks there picking up Door Dash orders. Same lady is manning the front and is frustrated that they are too busy. When she calls my name, I show her the coupon from checking in on Yelp and she says I have to print it for their records. This isn't listed on the page or terms. She finally says she will take off the $5, but scolds me for not bringing a copy for her boss and their records. I tried to be as nice as possible, tipped more than I should have probably and left. Food was ok, nothing special, it the service will keep me from ever going back again read more

Located in the middle of olive where I would consider "China town" you can see LuLu's by the distinctive building and sign, it plays its part as a typical Chinese restaurant (imagine Rush Hour lol). There is a display case of different popular dishes to get your appetite going while you wait for a table. I noticed only a hand full of employees but considering everything they really do try to help each other accommodate their guests.. we were well taken care of! Their menu has each dish pictured which takes the guessing out of ordering, especially for those who aren't familiar with Asian cuisine. A plus is that the food runners bring everything out on a rolling cart so as they pass you can see what everyone else has ordered. My boyfriend liked the Thai curry shrimp- I prefer a sauce than a seasoning powder. Fried rice was a nice side that complimented the dishes. Dimsum was room temperature, BUT the flavor was really good- I will be back for that. Hot pepper chicken was extra crispy which was nice and the heat level wasn't too spicy, it did have an after taste of sour which was interesting on the taste buds. We also tried the sweet and sour fish, just request it extra crispy the batter was soggy but could have been bc they were really busy. Everything was decently priced for portions. read more

My friends and I were driving around Olive Street to find a good lunch spot and decided to stop at Lulu's Chinese and Dim Sum. I haven't had Dim Sum since before the pandemic, so I had lots of excitement and high expectations. Immediately after sitting down, the servers came around with their carts offering us food. We got SO MUCH food for just four people, but it was all delicious. We ordered radish cake, leek dumplings, shrimp liang feng, green beans, custard buns, beef tripe, pork ribs (pictured below), and also shrimp dumplings and century egg with congee. All the dishes really took me back to all my previous dim sum experiences, and I wanted to eat so much more despite my full stomach. If you're looking for an authentic dim sum experience, do go to Lulu's Chineses and Dim Sum! I will be coming back with friends, and it really gave me a taste of home. read more

This is the Chinese food I eat when I'm having a down day and just need some comfort food. Nothing too fancy or outlandish just good food.

We haven't been here in years but because our usual dim sum place was closed we went here instead. The food was good and we the enjoyed everything we ordered. However, I would say the prices have gone up significantly. The service was inconsistent and a bit rude. The hostess was directly asking for a tip, which rubbed me the wrong way. The kids loved the fish tank! read more

10-30-20 Take Out Oder for 2 Take out ONLY Crab Rangoon - Poor at best. My wife said worst of any St Louis Restaurant. Hot and Sour soup Large - OK but not good. Tofu with vegetables - Large amount of tofu but very very little vegetables. This dish was terrible. Sincerely they need a new chef. I would not recommend this restaurant even with a Groupon voucher. read more
