Stopped in for lunch with my boyfriend on a Friday, and it wasn't too busy, which was nice. We both ordered from the lunch specials. I ordered the vegetable chow mein with fried rice. The lunch special also came with a spring roll and soup, which was a great value. My boyfriend got the orange chicken lunch special with fried rice, and his also came with a spring roll and soup. Overall, we enjoyed our lunch and thought the portions and value were pretty good. Everything was satisfying, and it was a nice spot for a casual lunch. I'd give it 4/5 stars! read more

Pretty sure this is the only place in town you can get Sichuan food after Gordy's closed. Chongqing chicken is also good. Not crispy like I've had in most other cities but it's good. I want to try the rest of the Sichuan dishes. Other than that, there's normal Chinese American food and sushi. So basically, there's something for everyone here. read more

This place is fabulous. Best Asian I have found in Spokane. Service is spot on. This is my new go-to restaurant.

Once upon a time this was a solid "b" Chinese restaurant. The dishes were well seasoned and the protein portions reasonable for the price. But in the last few years, the prices jumped up sharply while the quality went down. It is clear that they are cutting corners on their product while charging more. It's too bad because there are not a lot of decent Chinese restaurants in Spokane. They are now at a "c" or "c-", at least based on food quality/price. read more

Great food and have the best Hot and Sour soup great if you have a cold. Haven't tried the sushi but the food was spot on.

Stopped in for the first time today for lunch and it was amazing! Food was delicious and the service was incredible! Very kind and attentive waitress. Comfortable seating, lots of space for large groups. I will be back! read more

Take out General Tsos was mushy and tasteless. Would not chance ordering a full meal here. Very expensive.

Delicious food and BIG portions. We ordered the Phad Thai with pork, General Tao's chicken, and Soft Shell Crab Sushi Roll. Great service, super sweet people too! We will be back! read more

We had a wonderful dinner at Chef Lu's! The service is friendly and kind. The restaurant is spacious and beautiful paintings. The food was delicious! We had chicken fried rice and kung pao chicken! I highly recommend Chef Lu's for a flavorful meal! read more

Service was so friendly! 5 stars! They came out to the car to give us our takeout. Good authentic Chinese cuisine.

Service was wonderful! The lady helped us was extremely pleasant! We later figured out that she must be the owner too. The dishes came out as we expected, which was a good thing. Overall we had a good experience. read more

PLEASE UPDATE YELP AND SAY YOURE NOT OPEN ON MONDAYS! The food and service is good. I'm from out of town and saw on yelp that you guys were open. So, I drove there in traffic just to be let down. So, my only complaint is updating your yelp page to reflect your hours of operation. read more

Delicious and authentic! I had a sushi roll called the Cowboy Roll. Over never had anything like it and it was so good! It had seared Ribeye on the top. Brilliant! The owner who was also our server was the sweetest lady. I'm assuming she's Lu. We'll be back again when we visit from Missoula! read more

I wish I could do a 3.5 stars because the service was good and 2 out of 4 items were nice. The general tso's chicken was tasty and so was sashimi(salmon,tuna and octopus). I did not enjoy the rainbow roll or the royal roll. My wife said the ginger beer was awesome. Overall I do want to go back to try other items besides sushi. read more

We placed a take out order last Friday and arrived to pick it up exactly when they said to. Drove the 8-9 blocks home and found everything was cold. After microwaving it to an edible temperature, we were very disappointed with the flavor, it was just meh. It was very expensive and sad to say, we had to throw out the leftovers. Adding insult to injury, they don't even offer fortune cookies! read more

We've been hearing good things about this spot and finally stopped by for takeout. We got the crispy fish with prickly ash oil and orange sauce + pork chow mein combination dinner w/ general tso's chicken. I loved that the fish came with perfectly cooked broccoli and that the orange sauce wasn't too sweet. My husband really enjoyed the combination dinner. I stole more than a few bites of noodles! Service was fast and friendly. :) read more

We recently visited Chef Lu's. We've been there before, perhaps they were having an off night. Our rice was cold and hard! "Seafood" in our dish was a soggy mix of surumi (crab substitute) and tasted odd. Service was ok. It wasn't too busy and our server was hard to track down. read more

We decided to eat here on a whim and were extremely pleasantly surprised. Very nicely decorated and with nice music. We ordered several dishes and they were all so delicious we had a hard time choosing a favorite. Orange chicken was some of the best I've had. Even the strawberry iced tea my daughter ordered tasted delightful and not syrupy like I would have expected. Service was TOP NOTCH. Will 100% eat here again. read more

The service is always quick and wonderful! I usually pick up my order to go and it is smooth and effortless! I love their miso and egg drop soup, and orange chicken! Always a go to for my husband and I! read more

Yum!! I had to drive 6 hours from Seattle to Spokane today and my mom and I arrived HUNGRY! We quickly placed our order for 7:30 (approx when arrival would be) and showed up around 7:20, food ready to go! We got the crunchy roll (my fave), edamame, garlic beef (wow the mushrooms in this are amazing), chow mein with chicken and shrimp - all super delicious and ready to take back to our hotel to devour. If I ever come back to Spokane, I'll be hitting this place up again!! read more

This is a great family owned business that consistently delivers the best Chinese food you will ever eat. Service is great. Not the most comfy "hang around" atmosphere or furniture but super great food and nice folks. read more

After reading the reviews I decided to order from here to experience good Chinese food. I was disappointed. I ordered the combo fried rice (shrimp was way overcooked, lacking the traditional flavor), Mongolian beef (one of the better dishes) and moo goo gai pan (too many filler veges that belong in this dish like green peppers and celery). I'm still in search for an authentic Chinese restaurant in Spokane. read more

3 stars for the really sweet older waitress we had! She was kind and attentive. We were greeted by a younger man that rolled his eyes at us and huffed and puffed when we walked in. He seemed to be on his break and was annoyed that he had to get the hostess. Food- was just okay, big portions but very pricey! Not much flavor in any of the dishes we ordered (garlic sauce with chicken & Mongolian beef w/ sweet sour pork combo) They got 3 stars for excellent service but I honestly wouldn't go back for the food. read more

I did like this restaurant before but tried to get takeout and was put through an annoying computer system that thinks it should be tipped for its inefficient yet convoluted service.Had some questions it couldn't field but was met with a shrill beep when calling.This prices up but service down philosophy is precisely why we get food from restaurants far less often. read more

Do you notice how all the negative reviews for this great place all come without any photos? Or, are a whiny rant about a delivery experience--again, without photos? Some people just need a double-shot of shut the heck up. These nice people don't deserve your delusional opinions. And judging by a packed house for a late lunch on a Friday (and, a mass majority of stellar reviews since they opened), your pissant comments aren't affecting them at all. Viva, Chef Lu's... Oh, and here are my pics by the way... ;) read more

Delicious! If you are looking for some traditional Chinese food with a twist, come to Chef Lu's! FOOD - 4/5 we started with the dumpling soup. It was good, but nothing special. We got a few sushi rolls for appetizers - fried California roll and the Philly roll, both were good (the Philly was a smidge heavy on cream cheese for my liking). For lunch we all got lunch specials which come with egg rolls and either white or friend rice. We ordered orange chicken with Lo mein noodles ($3 upcharge) the chicken was delicious! Very traditional approach to orange chicken, did not disappoint. We also ordered the pad Thai and general tsos chicken. The pad Thai was okay, you can find better elsewhere. The general tsos was good! Not too spicy, nice crunch. PRICES - 5/5 fair prices for the amount of food you get! We all had leftovers. AMBIANCE - 4/5 clean place with friendly staff! 4/5 stars! We will definitely be back. read more

Cannot recommend Chef Lu's enough. Ten from me! CUISINE: So far, we have ordered the won ton soup (which is heavenly!), orange chicken, cashew chicken, chicken pad thai, and beef and broccoli. EVERY DISH WAS AMAZING! The won ton soup is pretty much the platonic form of soup. I've had others try it, and they agree - it's not just me! Seriously, their food is off the chain. PORTIONS: Can easily be enjoyed by 2-3 people. Best to order family style! SERVICE: The staff is smiling, friendly, and knowledgeable about their cuisine. One of the servers told us that she has eaten everything on the menu at different times, and she spoke informatively about many dishes on the menu. our second time there was just as wonderful. Our water glasses remain filled and they check on us without hovering. DECOR:. Asian fusion / casual. Pretty and laid back! NOISE LEVEL: Soft Asian music in the background. Nose level it's average, largely just the chatter of the guests. read more

We received 2 orders & were charged for both. This is a misleading website. It's not easy to use.

Nice place to grab lunch or dinner when in the areas. Centrally located Chinese restaurant that is surprisingly quick almost every time I visit. High quality food and friendly service. Okay he large windowsill on the corner location are very nice especially on a cold winter day (those times when spicy Chinese food are the most pleasing). read more

1st time eating here, ordered to go through the Yelp app. I chose white rice because in the photos their fried rice looks to be filled with vegetables & I'm just not a veggie eater. Ordered sweet and sour pork, the sweet & sour was on the side, it was the thinner red sweet and sour sauce, which doesn't seem to have as much flavor. Food was ready before the time I was given which was nice & they were quick to bring my order out. Also came with a small egg roll. read more

This review is for the lunch only. You'll find lunch time here during the week to be extremely busy. If you come at the wrong time during the lunch crowd, you might be waiting even though there are a lot of tables in a very open interior. We were lucky and were seated immediately, but we arrived just a little ahead of the noon hour. I had the chow mein lunch special, which came with fried rice and a small egg roll. I'd preferred to have either more chow mein with this lunch special or something else and skip the fried rice. It just seemed a bit odd to have chow mein and rice. The chow mein was very good, though, and I'm looking forward to visiting again and trying other menu items. read more

I have been having bad luck with Chinese food in Spokane. I'm used to the Chinese restaurants that you find in a strip mall with all the pictures of the dishes posted above the register, which usually has the best Chinese food. Spokane doesn't have any of those unfortunately, but Chef Lu's is the next best thing! We have been here twice and have not been disappointed. The portion sizes are humongous for dinner. And their lunch prices are very good. I recommend the orange chicken, which has an amazing breading to it that does not feel heavy. They also have sushi there which I have yet to try, but I heard it is also good. Anyone that loves Chinese food has to try this place out. It is a great addition to Spokane's already growing food scene that continues to get better and better. read more

Don't try to order using Uber or door dash. They will throw your order on the bottom of the list. Especially if it's $200 worth. Totally screwed up our Valentine's Day dinner for the family. We are done. Best part was the dasher calling with a warning about how disorganized they were. Thank you Steven. Door dasher king. It's McDonalds for us now. read more
