“The food at this restaurant was absolutely delicious. It was served hot and made fresh. It was not prepared earlier but made as it was ordered. Definitely recommend this as the BEST Chinese food in the area second to none. Even the wait staff is top notch polite and professional. Amazing dining experience!“

“What an amazing restaurant in the most ideal location in Lowell. Today was my first time having entered the beautiful location and had take out. I can without a doubt state that my husband and I will be coming in and be patrons because of the friendly service, unique style, and most definitely the fresh ingredients used in their menu. Thank you for helping me on a stressful day and so happy I finally came in!“

“Hands down the best Chinese in the area. I have tried so many different places and have been disappointed by the quality of their food. If you love crab rangoons or scallion pancakes, this will be your forever place. But all of the food is good and is always fresh and hot. The owner and her family are all very nice and sweet, I highly recommend.“

“I’ve been to Lu’s Kitchen a few times.
The food is consistently good and the portions are decent. The place is clean and service is efficient. It’s a reliable neighborhood Chinese restaurant with fair prices. I would come back again.“

“This is the best Authentic and Americanized Chinese cuisine that you will find in the city with reasonable prices and consistency. I have been coming here for well over 25 years and every time the food is perfect no matter if it is dine-in, take-out, or delivery with very generous portions and friendly staff.
Don't mind the negative troll reviews because there is nothing wrong with Mandarin Lowell on Middlesex St. If you do have any issue with your order, staff is excellent and they will make things right. Thank you Mandarin Lowell for your quality service to this city, fine cuisine, friendly staff, and fond memories.“

“We've been getting take out from Zheng Garden for over 16 years. Food has always been great and they are all so very nice. We've tried other places around the area, but always go back to Zheng Garden. Food is always hot, fresh and they have different varieties for meals. Especially love the fried wontons, can't find them like that anywhere else!“

“It is basically a take out place with a few tables of you want to eat there. I always get a luncheon or dinner plate for myself unless I’m having my son and his family over then I order off the menu.
I love egg foo young and they give you 2 omelets instead of one .
My husband got the beef and broccoli and he said the beef was tender .
And we got an egg roll for a apppetizer.
You can’t go wrong with the luncheon and dinner plates . While I waiting for my order about 5 people came in and did a pick up and that was 12:30 pm“

“My rating is 1 because our take out order was incorrect. I called to discuss the issue. The hostess said there was nothing she could do. She did not acknowledge the mistakes. She refused to allow me to speak to her supervisor and said she would not give me his name, per his instructions, so I could give feedback and resolve the issue.“

“Overall excellent!
Tonight was only our second time here, both times we have had takeout. I returned today because the first time the food was delicious and a good price.
First time late April 2026 we had lunch and two of us split: General Gau's chicken with white rice (sauce was the right amount of spicy and nicely sweet, and there was enough sauce to eat most of the rice with it), chicken fingers (fresh and perfect), and a spring roll (tasty, but has shrimp and mushrooms which I discovered just before I took the last bite to my surprise).
Second time, May 22, 2026, dinner for 3 people: General Gau's chicken with white rice (I had to get it again and it was just as good as the first time), spring roll (for my husband this time), and 2 All Day Specials which each have a variety of appetizers with pork fried rice. Everything was fresh, hot, fast, and tasty!
Both times we only found one other car in the parking lot. I don't know how busy the restaurant gets, but that would never deter me from getting takeout here. My husband and I don't usually eat out at restaurants, so our decision to do takeout is no reflection on the restaurant. I would definitely eat there in the restaurant someday if the occasion arose.“
“I spent 2,5 years looking for good chinese food, I finally found a place 6 months ago. But Li's blows them out of the water. Absolutely fantastic food. Amazingly nice workers. And the food is extremely consistent and tastes homemade.
Iwould rate them 6 stars if I could.“

“I came to eat here right before they opened. I was the first customer of the day and despite all of the bad reviews, I thought this place was really good! The food quality is acceptable and comfortable. I dined in with my gf and the service was quick. I thought the staff was going to run into a few bumps cause they literally just opened when I arrived but they proved me wrong. Sushi came out fast and delicious despite there only being one dude too. Would definitely come again to dine in or even take out!“

“I've been going here for over 10 years. I love the crab rangoon. And all the food. But , they must spend a fortune in printing menus because they always charge you more than what the menu says and then they tell you that the menu is old. I'm posting a picture of two menus that I just got in the past month. Another picture is what I just got online, I took a screenshot. And it also says that the menu was updated 2 days ago. So if the menu was updated two days ago and as you can see in the picture it says $10 minimum for Visa or MasterCard. When I get there she says it's a $15 minimum for Visa or MasterCard. So she charges me an extra dollar. Besides the fact, that I was charged more than the price of the menu I just got last week. And she says don't you have any cash? I said no. She always asks for cash. And then she up charges me. She's a little tiny lady with a sweet little voice. But also a very big scam artist. I always support local businesses. But I do not support you taking my hard earned money out of my pocket. And then saying oh well. After over 10 years I'm done. There's plenty of other places to go. If you try to call her out on her scamming, she say to leave now. I don't need that kind of drama.“

“Who is actually very surprising good considering the location. They have these combos you can pick up for about $16 with a ton of food. Very authentic tasty food for relatively cheap prices. Almost comparable to something you would get in New York. Plus it's got a full bar in the back“

“Very great value for the amount of food. Prompt, hot & fresh. Super accommodating and was able to get a large order on Easter Sunday when they opened.
Skip the ham, planning, prep and cleanup next year and go with Chinese food! It was a hit with the group.“

“We almost always order from this place. They have the best dumplings (thick skin, thick filling!) and their sauces aren't as watery as some other places. I do wish they had more traditional Chinese food on their menus but it's probably not that profitable compared to American-Chinese.“

“I really love this place. They still do dinner meals which is great when I'm just looking to get something for myself. Food tastes fantastic and the ladies at the front are always friendly. Definitely a take out plane, wouldn't recommend as a family sit down.“

“Very fancy inside. Slightly on the pricy side but this is one of those you get what you pay for places, so it’s good. Everything from the fresh fish that tasted like it came sea to restaurant, to the veggies that tasted farm fresh to table, everything here was 20 stars. Of course you can’t rate that in reviews, but they’re getting the max 5 star rating from me“

“I ordered two things & was gonna pay in person.
Wasn't aware they didn't take American Express, because it was a gift card given to me as an early Christmas present.
I couldn't take money out at an atm because,well gift card.
Went back cause I didn't want them thinking I disappeared after time was spent towards making the food & I said I couldn't pay for it.
A very nice lady told me it's ok & I can next time.
If you're reading this,thank you very much & Merry Christmas to you!“

“Moving from Boston to nashu this is the closest to good good as I am use to. Other places I have tried local not even close. Give them a try.
Update. 3-19-25 just order tonight and I don't know if they sold the place but the food was barely edible. Chicken was dry and over cooked. Chicken fingers seemed like they had sat around and they reheated them. The portions are much smaller u used get 2 or 3 meals out of their dinner meals not anymore they also increased prices but instead of keeping portions the same they cut them and pocketing more money at the cost of the customers which is a shame. The leftovers went into the trash“

“My partner and I really enjoy the food at Lake East! It's one of the only American Chinese food places that serves the barbeque pork strips I really like. We've gone here twice, the first time was two years ago when we were staying in the area and we liked it so much we decided to go back last night for take out again. I would definitely say it's more of a take out location than an eat in location but the food is good and I would recommend!“
