Lulu Chinese Express — Restaurant in Brentwood

Thought this would be better than Panda Express, I was very wrong. Bad food. Unfriendly typical chinese service. The guy didn’t talk much at all. I ordered lo mein, fried rice, orange chicken, Szechuan chicken, Kung pao chicken, and beef beef and broccoli. The Szechuan chicken was overly salty and it wasnt spicy at all. It was very dry as well. The Szechuan chicken is supposed to be a more authentic version of the Kung pao but it doesn’t taste authentic at all. The Kung pao chicken had mediocre flavor compared to Panda Express. It was less dry than the Szechuan but still slightly dry but edible. It wasn’t overly salted though. Not spicy as well. Also, there is supposed to be peanuts and there are no peanuts. The beef and broccoli had the best flavor and was decent. It had carrots in it though so there was extra filler in place of the beef. Same for the Kung pao and Szechuan as well. The orange chicken was terrible. The only thing it got right was that it was colored orange. I saw giant bags of flash fried chicken in the back waiting to be sauced up. So, this means it is not very fresh. The orange chicken was so dry as well and had zero orange flavor. No spice in it like Panda Express. Not that much chicken as well, a lot of batter. The only thing that was better than panda was the lo mein and fried rice. Fried rice was wet though but had decent flavor. Lo mein is glossy but expected. One final thing, there is no wok hei flavor on any...

Lulu's is arguably one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in STL!! I'm a huge fan of Panda Express, but I eat at Lulu's about as often. I work nearby so it's really simple to run over and grab a bite to eat. On top of that, the food tastes great and is reasonably priced. Now, this may be specific to me but the guy who works there in the evenings when I'm usually there is really friendly and he seems to appreciate it when you say thank you in Chinese (he doesn't speak much English but he's very expressive and does a great job communicating). Lulu's, you have a...

Fried Rice was way way too greasy hated giving this to my family. I noticed excess grease at counter and asked lady why so greasy she tried to insult my intelligence by saying it was steam... When I got home and dumped complete box into a serving dish the bottom of the empty box was drenched with oil.... Don't serve this to your family or yourself... Craig Rd location doesn't have this...
