Lu Lu Seafood Restaurant

Kitchen of the Forbidden City. If you think you can walk out from this place with $20 dollar per person, I will probably suggest you to go to a burger joint. Lulu is a fine dinning authentic chinese cuisine and they serve first class chinese dish to the customers, I am very discourage by peeople who are trying to compare Lulu with other so called Chinese restaurant.

Tonight was the fourth time we came back to this palce and still wanted to go back the fifth time. We ordered lobster, fish and some other dishes, they are fast and the food quality was breathtaking. The taste was just right not too salty nor too sweet, the chef was trying his best to bring out the flavor of fresshness and deliciousneess of the fish and lobster. That's what I called a chef. After the meal, I asked the waiter about the chefs. Apparently the main Chefs are coming from Guang Dong and Shanghai, that was what I thought, too. Because of good food will make a person miss home.

I came from Malaysia and I am a Chinese decendent. I have travelled the whole US, I can claimed that Lulu Restaurant is the finest Chinese cuisine in the State.…

worst experience ever in my life. We purchased a gift certificate from restaurant dot com a while ago and wanted to use it in the LuLu seafood restaurant, they refused to take it by saying they are not parcitipating it anymore for a long time, and also told us that restaurant dot com is not existing anymore. What a joke! Although your restaurant is not participating anymore, you should not refuse to accept it since there is no expiration date on it. What made it even worse is that, instead of explaining to us, the boss of that restaurant yelled at us, saying "we are not accepting it, that's it !" His attitude was so rude and made us felt sick. I would not recommend anyone to go to that restaurant in the future, it's not about the money, the food, but the way how you run the business is absolutely wrong!…

Disappointed. I wish I could say this place is great and St. Louis has a great place for Dim Sum and authentic Chinese cuisine. But I cannot. Every visit brings another set of problems that wittles away at my ability to recommend this restaurant. Firstly, the majority of the staff displays little attention to customer service and are basically rude. They try to force you to take items you have declined during Dim Sum. They almost seem to be screaming at you when they talk. I could dismiss this if this was the only problem. Second, the service is really disorganized. They do not check to see that your food is to your liking. We once waited a half hour for our order to be taken and over an hour for our food to arrive. The waiter never checked on us during that time. Apparently they just forgot. The worst part is that there really was not any attempt at an apology. They did not even give us part of the meal on the house. The food then trickled out of the kitchen after we waited another 15 minutes. Lastly, there are quality control issues. Dishes sometimes are not what they appear to be on the menu or in the display case. I really want to like this place. I really want somewhere to go for Dim Sum in St. Louis. I've been all over the country, San Francisco to New York, and had great authentic Chinese food with less attitude, reliable service, and consistent food.…

Authentic Chinese Food and Attitude. I've been eating here since I moved to St.Louis ten years ago from the San Francisco bay area and I can state that the food is, without a doubt, authentic Chinese. I especially love the Dim Sum brunch on weekends which reminds me of Chinatown in San Francisco.

I guess since I'm used to Chinatown in SF, I don't find their attitude disturbing or unusual. Also, I always tip 20%, which is normal these days in most places I've been, so I never get any complaints from the waiters.

Incidentally, waiters normally make minimum wage and live from their tips, which are taxed by the IRS. Most waiters also share their tips with bus boys, hostess, etc., so that 1950's era 10% tip some of you leave really translates to about 5% in their pocket if their lucky.…
