Food was very delicious, very good service amidst a modest and simple setting. The side parking lot is a little too narrow for double parking though. Nonetheless, it will always be worth coming back to for a good tasting meal with the family.

I got to say this place was the strangest experience I've had. Went in for the buffet, majority of the food was bland, cold, or just not very good. My personal server was kind, but I had another server looking at me intently just at the corner of the room. It made me feel really uncomfortable. And when I say staring at me, I mean I'd finish a plate look over and she was still looking at me like an owl.

Food was really good!customer service was great .

Absolutely 10/10 experience. Their food is delicious and the people working there are fantastic. They definitely deserve your love and support. I recommend their salt and pepper shrimp!

Madam Lu never disappoints! Great meal, authentic taste and presentation, and most importantly, we get to see Lu. She is the best!

There are only two things I can say about this restaurant. First, the service was absolutely wonderful. The people were attentive and very helpful. Second, the food was excellent! Oh, and by the way, there is ample parking.

I had the shrimp chow fun. Nice sized shrimp, good noodles and tasty. My only issue was the dish had too much oil.

Madam Lu is definitely our favorite Chinese food restaurant in town. We usually order take-out but our experiences are similar when we eat in. Good food, friendly people, what more do you need? Highly recommend!

Love this place! Been coming here for 22 years. Get the crab wontons to start- best I’ve ever had! The owner is wonderful, and the food is soooo good: sesame chicken, walnut shrimp, crispy fish - it’s all delish here!

I lived in Hong Kong for 12 years and also lived in Taiwan, Thailand and China. Madam Lu has authentic food with consistent quality and great service.
