    I didn't get the lunch special photo
    Walter V.

    Service is good. Ambiance/atmosphere is alright, nothing special, but I haven't eaten in I've only done carry out. Lo Mein is awesome with the sweet and sour chicken which comes with the classic tub of sweet and sour sauce.

    Shrimp egg foo young
    Atalanta P.

    I'd been past here a few times and been meaning to try it. It's downtown and easy to get to by bus. The atmosphere is casual, a little "hole in the wall" type place. The service I got was friendly and welcoming. I had wonton soup and shrimp egg foo young and had plenty of leftover egg foo young for later. Both were very tasty and a generous portion for the money. They have a good selection of lunch specials I will have to come back for!

    3. Mongolian Beef
    Stephanie C.

    $10.50 lunch specials to include rice, soup and an egg roll. Hard to come by good food for a great price. Service was fast and attentive. The beef was thick and had a great flavor! Not too spicy. Can't wait to come back!

    Simple interior
    John D.

    Talk about your basic no frills eatery this is it. Polished cement floors. Simple table and chairs and no gaudy Asian trinkets adorning every nook and cranny. Menu prices reflect the simplicity of the restaurant. We ordered from the lunch menu - Mongolian Beef with steamed rice and Szechuan Beef with fried rice. Both came with Egg Drop Soup. The meat for both dishes was thicker sliced, well seasoned and tender. The heat level was just right, hot enough to enjoy without killing off the taste buds. The fried rice was on the dry side. However, overall our lunch was delicious and inexpensive and worth a return trip to this little gem. Metered street parking was available and there was plenty to be found.

    Kung Pao
    Patrick L.

    Friendly staff, great lunch specials, delicious food! Cute little place right downtown. Will definitely go back to sample more from their extensive menu. I had the Kung Pao Triple Delight (beef, chicken and pork)-lots of peanuts and meat, just spicy enough. He had the Curry Chicken. Both lunch entrees (only $10.95) came with soup, rice and egg roll. We each took home half our meals.

    Broth in won tan soup tastes like old dishwater and dumplings were gross to say the least. Rice was hard. Meal was gross and very unenjoyable.

    Lunch specials.
    Konrad J.

    I tried the Orange Chicken lunch special, with the accompanying fried rice (you can choose steamed rice instead), soup (hot and sour or egg flower soup), and a small spring roll. The total was $10.95, which was a good price for the amount of food. The chicken was slightly tough and not very flavorful. The spring roll didn't have a memorable taste. The egg flower soup had an interesting flavor I couldn't place that I didn't particularly enjoy. The fountain drink dispenser wasn't working, but they did have cold soda in cans. I wouldn't recommend Lulu, nor would I go back. While the prices for the lunch specials are inexpensive, the food isn't very enjoyable or appetizing.

    Prices as of 6/9/22 Food had very good flavor and the wonton soup was delicious. I wanted to post menu pics because they didn't have any update prices.

Upon arriving at this charming establishment, my lovely assistant informed me that this is actually a boutique branch of our absolute go-to, Sushi Xuan. Imagine my utter delight! The moment I crossed the threshold, I was thoroughly impressed. While it isn't a massive, sprawling venue, the intimate seating area was perfectly sufficient for the afternoon and offered the most wonderful, exclusive energy. Absolute satisfaction. The hospitality was nothing short of elite. The host who also happens to be the fabulous owner personally looked after me with such radiant warmth and attentiveness. I was completely enchanted by such a bespoke touch. When perusing the menu, I simply could not resist ordering their Lo Mein. I must confess, my heart quite literally began to flutter with anticipation! And the efficiency, darlings, was magnificent within a crisp ten minutes, a lavish, generous platter of the most delectable Lo Mein arrived at my table. It was an absolute explosion of flavor and a total triumph. I am completely obsessed with this delightful little find. A flawless five stars, and I shall most certainly be returning for another fabulous lunch!

It is truly one of those rare neighborhood gems that feels both authentic and incredibly welcoming. The service was impeccable from the start, but the highlight was truly the charming interaction with the chef. He was kind enough to personally walk me through the evening's selections, and we had the most delightful chat! I decided on one of my absolute weaknesses: the Fresh Pork Dumplings. The chef was quite attentive and offered to add an onion paste, but after a brief explanation of my preferences, he was more than happy to prepare them exactly to my liking. It's that level of bespoke attention that I truly adore. The dumplings arrived steaming hot in just a matter of minutes absolutely bursting with authentic, clean flavors. It was a thoroughly wonderful experience, and I shall certainly be making this a regular stop on my Uptown rounds!

Even though its a small parking lot in a strip plaza. Fresh hand pulled noodles are good, which were a little soft for my personal preference, but still good. It may sound strange but things with pork will taste porky. My girlfriend doesn't like pork, but can eat it, but she ordered the pork and shrimp dumplings and it was too porky for her. For me, it tasted just right because this is the flavors I grew up with. The dumpling dough had a nice texture that I prefer. My Ramen had a big fatty pieces of pork which is what I like. They didnt skimp. It was a good bowl of noodle soup. Wouldn't say its the best ramen I ever had, but it was good. Beef roll was good, I would say its one of the better ones I've seen in ABQ where its really filled with beef. Would recommend this. We also got soup dumplings and I will say that we didnt get the proper spoons for them. At first I thought they just didnt offer them, but looking at photos, we never got them. It makes a difference for your eating experience and enjoyment. We will definitely be back as this is one of the better Chinese restaurants in the area and you really get some real Chinese variety and not your basic generic stereotypical menu.

The wait staff was nice to give us another one cuz we sent it back, but it came back again with the same smell so we were worried but it tasted fine and we didn't get sick hahahaha. Wouldn't order it again tho because of the smell. steam chicken feet 5/5: nicely steamed with a spicy kick. steamed egg yolk bun 4/5: this is the main reason we come here! love the topping on the bun and the flavors of the steamed egg yolk. Normally it's a bit runnier which would make it a 5 but it was a bit oversteamed today. IT Dim Sum is a great choice if you're craving dim sum in the ABQ area. Haven't found another spot to beat it yet so it's our go to spot when we're in town!

We would get Dim Sum in Flushing, NY and I have nothing but great memories from it. So! When I found out this spot brings out the carts for Dim Sum - I ran over! We went for Saturday brunch and it was empty. I ordered for the table. The chicken feet really stood out to me and were delicious. I will say...they advertise it is homemade...but I'm not too sure. The soup dumplings definitely had a precooked frozen packaged texture / flavor - similar the ones you can get from the grocery store. BUT! Overall: we had a fantastic experience. The family was very friendly. I think they were surprised how much I ordered. I was excited and happy. And yes, we finished it all lol If you've never had Dim Sum then you MUST come here for the experience alone. They bring out the carts and you pick what you'd like. This is a great way to spend BRUNCH with a large group. Forget the American brunch and try the Chinese one! It's a new experience and will be fun.
