Quite bland, uninspiring Chinese…read more Waited for 3 hours for home delivery on a Sunday afternoon. Despite repeated calls, they were incapable of telling us where the delivery was and when it would arrive. Even when the food arrived it was pretty average at best. You can do better than this place!

When the food truck for a company is great, that is a great sign. The food truck that came to ASF,…read moreChina Girl, offered a full plate of everything available for 50 pesos. It was fresh, steamed to perfection, and easily filled you up. The setup they create for the food truck is expansive, they are fast, and you feel as if you are in the restaurant itself. This is a case where you need to let the food talk for itself, and once you try this, you will know.

EXPENSIVE, LOW QUALITY INGREDIENTS, AND BAD RECIPES - Luau is on a major street in CDMX, so you…read morewould hope it's a destination. You also probably hope you'll win the lottery one day. Save your money and throw it away on lotto tickets instead -- at least then you have a chance of ending up a winner. The space itself is underground and vaguely Chinatown-themed. A bit gaudy, but not totally out of character for the genre. The staff was attentive and food arrived quickly, which unfortunately was the highlight of the meal. Course after course was a disappointment. The sopa de tallarín con huevo was essentially spaghetti in chicken stock (likely bouillon) topped with a fried scrambled egg. The wonton soup wasn't much better, served with two large slabs of dried-out, tasteless pork that were tough to cut and harder to enjoy. The wontons themselves were the worst part. Both soups were firmly one-star at $149 pesos each. The rice arrived broken, overcooked, and pasty. Another one-star addition. Then the mains. The pollo agridulce came with exactly six pieces of chicken, served cold, sitting on an iridescent bed of what I can only guess were kohlrabi or broccoli stems. The color was unholy. At $250 pesos, this was another easy one-star dish. I actually felt insulted on this. The chow mein cantonese was possibly worse. For $350 pesos, you get a pile of stems -- bok choy, broccoli, kohlrabi, cauliflower -- mixed with subpar chow mein noodles, all served cold. More of the same dry pork showed up again, mixed awkwardly with warm chicken and hot shrimp, all drenched in a gelatinous sauce. Serving stems and temperature roulette is also to me insulting. To be fair, not everything was completely terrible. The res mongolian (hopefully Inner Mongolia province in China and not nearby neighboring country Mongolia) was serviceable and reasonably tasty, though still overpriced at $250 pesos. There was a ridiculous amount of leek and green onion relative to the meat, which itself was just decent. But nothing here will do much to save Luau from itself. CDMX has extraordinary food. Do yourself a favor and find it somewhere else. Happy eating from John Seeto!

Mi abuelo lleva viniendo a este lugar desde los 80s, y para su cumpleaños #85 quiso traer a su…read morefamilia cercana a celebrar (solo fuimos 15!!!). La atención de este lugar fue fenomenal, creo que nos pasamos de lo mucho que todos comimos. Optamos por pedir el menú de comida familiar 1 y 2, incluía comida deliciosa y variada. Todos quedamos más que satisfechos. El servicio siempre atento a traer y llevarse platos y rellenar bebidas. Son de esos lugares que si nos por donde vas, lo pasas pero ya adentro te pierdes en la belleza de su decoración y entrega de la comida china que sirven. Quedamos encantados de compartir tan grata comida familiar.

Must try the braised short ribs and the general chaos chicken. Dumplings were also amazing and so were their house dipping sauces. The cocktails were superb. Above all else the service was IMPECABLE the staff was very assertive, attentive(without being overbearing) efficient thorough, and very kind. HIGHLY RECOMMEND :) *****Review i posted for hunan meant for this location*****

The service was attentive. What I found where is that it wasn't as crowded as I would think for this location in a beautiful neighborhood and the traffic at it's surroundings. I guess it is a little nodded Even Though it is located at a corner.
