Just went there today, May May 28, 2026 wanted an extra $10 for my lunch. That's usually 25 told him to keep it. I won't be back. It's the second time in a row they've jumped to prices. First time was five bucks. This time was 10. I just kept my money. Told him I won't be back. Been going there for decades. It's too bad. read more

Lady in front counter is very rude. Caught her by surprised when she knew I understand her language. Husband had to get involved cause I wasnt backing down from an argument from her or anyone. read more

Rude when I called and rude when I got there. Don't speak good English and gets made when you try to clarify. On top of it all my order was wrong and told me I don't know how to order. I started my order at 6 and immediately began receiving pressure to hurry up and pick it up. Terrible customer service, so I took my money back and left...she had the nerve to tell not to come back...lol; trust me I won't. I guess this explains their poor rating. Also reading through the comment, this is common practice for overpriced food. Good luck retraining customers. read more

Over priced slop & rude moma-son behind the counter asking for tip before any service or food.... The food here guaranteed to plug your arteries. Everything has the same flavor/ taste, You're better off going to the burger joint next-door? At least you'll know that not everything is cooked in the same grease.... and forget about asking for a refund because they will just recook your food in the roach motel of a kitchen read more

Called in my order, person that answered was friendly. Order was ready when promised. Food was good, it's just too much. Price was very reasonable. Worth a try. read more

The lady that's was taking my order was so rude very poor customer service or people skills

Food is always delicious! The service is good because the owner always acknowledges you.

No frills but such good food, very large portions. Been coming here for 30 years. Friendly staff too.

I had their pork fried rice and it was not fresh at all like out the microwave. I hate getting yesterday's left overs at restaurants, what a scam. $10 wasted. read more

Lum's Chop Suey - a plate of noodles and vegetables - Chinese Near Me - Fresno, California

We ordered the deluxe meal. If you want authentic Chinese food this is the place. I would describe the restaurant itself as a 'hole in the wall'. Appears to be mostly for takeout. But we did enjoy being the only ones in the place. read more

Driving down the road the other day, and my buddy points to Lum's and says,"good food." "Really?!" I say. He notes that they are open late, unlike the other downtown Chinese restaurants, so at my first opportunity, I give it a shot. 6 days later, I'm on the phone, making my order. Every review mentions how much food you get, but you're still not prepared for what's to come. I must say, were it not for my friend and the positive reviews, coming at night would have seemed daunting. It's not the best area, and one of the front windows has a massive crack from someone throwing a bowling ball at it, or something heavy and round. Walk in, and everything is old and cluttered. They do some food prep on the front counter. I guess space is limited. The people waiting inside are nice though. They're talking about the difference between using credit and debit, ways they've had to deal with fraudulent charges, etc. I thought it was cool how they even moved their seats closer to talk more intimately. Stuff you see on tv but that doesn't really happen in real life. Anyways, I get my food and go home. First impression, the shrimp are ginormous! Biggest I've ever seen from a Chinese restaurant. I thought the chow mein could have used less filler veggies. Never seen cauliflower in chow mein. But whatevs, it still had good flavor. And a few noodles burnt, but I must confess, it gave the flavor a new dynamic. Kind of how toast is different from just plain ole bread. I'm on the fence about the food ATM, but I'll still give 4 stars for the time being. Future visits may lead to a recite Imabigdeal@yelp.com read more

Riding down Divisadero and my dad goes "hey lums is still there, haven't been there in like 40 years". So we pulled in. Love these old hole in the wall spots in Fresno. Food was ok, staff was very friendly, portions were huge, and cheap. So definitely had some pros to it, but the food was average. read more

Excellent Chinese food! Deluxe Dinner(s) awesome, teriyaki chicken and combo #1 :)! Love you guy's!

I've eaten many, many lunches here. Tonight was the first time with the family. We brought it home. My typical order is named for the long time helper, Jessica. Jessica's Special is shrimp fried rice, shrimp Chow Mein and a side of fried shrimp. Tonight's only flaw was the chow mein noodles were a little over cooked. Tonight we added the Chicken Salad and Sweet and Sour Chicken. It was my first time trying either of these dishes. The salad was smartly boxed separate from the chicken, as not to wilt the salad on the drive home. The chicken has a sauce that is part roasted peanut and part black bean sauces. It was delicious. We should have gotten 2 orders, because we all wanted more. The Sweet and Sour Chicken was exactly how it should be. The fried chicken chunks were not over breaded, the sauce was the perfect consistency in both texture and taste. Maybe the most important part, they stuffed as much chicken into that container as it was possible. Our kids loved it. The couple who run the place have been there for a very long time. They really are part of the neighborhood. I've seen them with other more regular customers. The talk as friends. It really is awesome to see. read more

Gross. Cheap food but poor quality. Made my stomach hurt. I ordered chow mein with chicken wings. The oil was seeping through the bag.

Downtown Fresno doesn't have much places to eat for dinner. So I took my butt a few blocks away off the deserted downtown area and find a Chinese diner. When I first walked in, this place is small with a few counter tables. Operated by a Chinese family, the diner was also playing Country Music. You don't see that at many Chinese restaurants. Looking at the menu, the prices for each noodle and rice plates starting from $7.50. I had the Chicken and (American) Broccoli over Chow Mein. For $7.50, I get a mountain-size noodle plate with the thick noodle was pan-fried and a heaping serving of chicken and broccoli. The size of my noodle plate was huge with the food was passable. Fresno's Chinese food is not the same food that I'm accustomed to eating when I'm back home. My meal: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/1r7zw-RNCR4lN0PNuHr5og?select=ILR5vpArJuifLq6NL-580Q I also got free hot tea with my meal. Fountain drinks are also serve. Cash only. Despite being Chinese, the family-members are a bit hard-nosed with strict in-house dining rules. I'm not much of a Country-music listener and must accept the music while eating there. read more

Always consistent and tasty. All ingredients are fresh, seasoned, hot n ready! Recommend this place for that authentic Chinese Cuisine.

My family and I have been going to Lums for years. We have been noticing the last couple times the customer service has been changing. Tonight my husband went and picked up dinner.... The lady had a bad demeanor from the get go when he walked in, she was rude while he gave her the order (it was past 7, so yes later in the evening, but their hours were posted and they were open) Anyways after she took his order he pulled out his card to pay for the food and she got upset and told him from now on shes not taking anymore card payments after 7. This will be the last time we go, food is good and place is nearby, but we can take our business elsewhere. read more

Love the food! Always hot and plentiful! Very good food, we have been frequenting this restaurant for years and never disappoints .

I'm those type of people that don't like to venture out and try new spots!!! But hands down to this little "hole in the wall" Food quality: 100% Service: 100% read more

The food is amazing but the lady at the counter is extremely rude and stingy. They charge for the food, plus the oil, plus bags or boxes...I told her this is the reason I do not go there anymore. Shes just a rude rude lady and very very pushy...I do not like that place just because of her. read more

Alright, I get it, Lums may not be in the best part of town, but they have the best food HANDS DOWN, 1 full plate of food can last you for more than 2 days. In my opinion, they are better than anywhere else, and no one can change that for me. Now, this part of my response is for Lums so like if your not Lums then you can stop reading, unless you wanna hear my rant so thanks. Ok, Lums, PLEASE MOVE TO A BETTER PART IN TOWN OR CLOSER TO ME SO I CAN GET LUMS EVERYDAY, thanks TTYL. read more

TONS of food! I got a combo (Combo A, I think) to go then an extra plate of chow mein with a half order of fried shrimp. I should've stopped at the combo -- for two of us. (We are not big eaters, though. We're usually 'small plate' eaters.) The taste and style was reminiscent of my days as a little girl when we went to the Leilani on Blackstone. I generally eat pretty cleanly, and I usually am gluten-free. If I have funky foods, I typically get a stomach ache. No stomach ache, even after the fried shrimp. The food didn't seem heavy from oils. LOVED all the crispy veggies in the chow mein! Delicious. I appreciate their friendliness and how informative and candid the helpful young cashier was who took my order. Will be back, but will order less food. :) read more

This is my new favorite place for Chinese food. The portions are huge , the taste is amazing, and the price just puts the cherry on top! Love it.... You must try . If your going for lunch for sure call in the order. If there's a long wait , wait it's worth it you won't regret it. I truly love this place. read more

I was treated very rudely by counter person when I pointed out that I was over charged I guess they have one price on the menu and when they ring you up they charge what ever they want. The food is still very good but when I pointed out that I was over charged she got real belligerent with me and told me not to come back I told her that if she is this rude with all her customers she eventually will not have any. Watch out for the chubby old Chinese lady she has a real attitude problem and over charges you. read more

Been coming here my whole life. Good, quality, authentic and delicious Chinese food. My family loves it also. Can never go wrong with this place. I suggest the beef tomato chow mein, best on the menu. I suggest calling ahead to skip the wait and don't forget the almond cookies! The lady can be a bit hard to understand but trust me it's worth it read more

The place is a little run down, but we gave it a shot because sometimes the best food comes from places like this. The food was below average. Orange chicken was very dry. It seems like it was in the freezer for a long time. The other chicken was not good. The rice and noodles were edible, but as another reviewer stated, we ended up throwing most of it away. Big portions, but not very good. We won't be coming back. read more

The exterior is faded but the dumplings are good and pan fried noodles are pretty good as well. Maybe don't order the egg rolls they were a little greasy and not very flavorful. Everything in all I would give it a 3/5. read more
