Another good serving of dim sum and I was stuffed after our meal. TBH it's difficult for me to stop ordering as the goods go by on carts. Was super busy on Sunday 2/2/25, longest wait I have ever had since coming hear in 2010. 35 min and worth the wait. Pics included
Every visit to Lulu's has been a great experience for me. I've tried a variety of dishes, from tofu to chicken and beef, but I can never resist their hot and sour soup--it's a must-order every time. Lulu's menu offers so much to explore, with generous portions that ensure you leave satisfied. While some dishes fall into the category of traditional Americanized Chinese food, many others provide a more unique and adventurous experience, which I love. Be sure to start with an appetizer; there are plenty of great options to choose from. Lulu's absolutely deserves more recognition--I've consistently enjoyed my time and meals here.
When it comes to dim sum, I am sad that there is not many places in St. Louis. I'd say Lulu is better than other places in town. However, food quality can be hit or miss. I noticed that if I came before noon on Sunday, the food tasted kinda old. Service has been great so far. I liked that they give customers a real dim sum cart experience. Some dim sum staples I always order are Siu Mai (pork and shrimp dumpling), Har Gow Crystal shrimp dumpling, Lo Bak Go ( Turnip cake), Har Chueng Fun ( steamed rice roll with shrimp), Bolo bao ( pineapple bun), Fung Chao ( chicken feet), Jiu Cai Jiao ( chives fried dumpling), crispy duck and salt and pepper shrimp.
Excellent value for money . Good food and ambience . We ate to our hearts content for less than $20 per head and it was a great afternoon . Lots of parking around the building . Service is frequent and friendly during peak hours . Some language barrier but that's expected in a authentic restaurant experience . All in all it was a great meal!
Lu Lu's is probably the best dim sum you can find in STL. I have been to this restaurant several times now, all on the weekends when they run their dim sum menu. The quality and quantity of food options heavilyyy depend on what time you go. It is highly recommended to go as early as possible during the day, as options become fairly limited once the lunch rush passes at noon. On my most recent trip there, we were able to get a seat right away when we went right after they opened at 10:30. The restaurant was completely full around the time we left at about 11:30. They had so many different options and I was even offered a bowl of congee, which is a staple in Chinese breakfasts. I would recommend that you do not jump the gun and grab everything you see right off the bat, because there are going to be some dishes that roll out that look later amazing, but you're already too full. This was true in my case as there were options of duck and other meats I would have grabbed in a heart beat if I wasn't already full. There's not really another restaurant like Lu Lu when it comes to sit down dim sum. The food arrives the minute you are sat, and you could be in and out easily under a hour. The service is always good as there are people constantly walking around making sure you have been able to try all the food options.
