Restaurant is now takeout only, but that was fine with me. I have found that Chinese Restaurants have great, good and bad dishes.. just my experience. I recommend Curry Prawns and house chow mien as they were both very good. The house fired rice was sticky and quite tasteless I do not like the variety of rice they use. The lemon chicken was heavily battered if you like batter and the lemon sauce was very good. When I phoned in my order, I was told 30 minutes and that seems to be what everybody is told when I listened to calls while waiting for my order. Unfortunately orders are not ready in 30 minutes as there is only one person cooking and orders bak up seemingly quite quickly at dinner hours. I arrived and my order had not even started to cook as I arrived exactly 30 minutes after I ordered. There were three orders ahead of mine to be cooked so I had to sit and wait for another 20 minutes. Just my experience, you may want to ask about order processing time unless you are prepared to sit and wait. Other reviewers may want to rate various dishes as we all want to avoid the not so great entrees.

Lum's recently returned to Dine-In and we were again able to enjoy our favorite Chinese food with friends. The prices have increased a little but the food is still worth it. Service always comes with a smile and we really feel valued.

We picked up food from Lums Xmas Eve while visiting family. Phoned in our large order and it was ready when we arrived. Very busy in the restaurant and lots of people waiting for take out. The food was great and more then enough for our group. Excellent friendly staff.

We ordered online at 3 o’clock for food to be delivered for six o’clock. The delivery was 35 minutes late. The food was not that tasty and was quite greasy. The chicken was tough and food quite salty, not very appetizing. Not a good Valentines dinner. When I checked the transaction receipt I noticed that they charged me fifteen cents for the paper bag the food came in. How cheap is that? The delivery guy laughed when I asked him why he was so late with the delivery and he said they were quite busy. I actually phoned to find out why the delivery was so late. No apologies from the driver either.

Absolutely horrendous. It was a Sunday night, not busy...dinner for one I threw half out it was that bad. Sweet and sour pork and the Breaded almond chicken were hard as rocks. Dried out. The chow mein was tasteless garbage with absolutely no chicken in it to be seen. Do not ever order from here. I tried it a few years ago and it was terrible too, someone said it was a new chef..Awful. Just awful. I eat out chinese all the time in Victoria as a single guy get a dinner for one. Nothing beats Golden City and I should have went there again. Be warned.

JUST AWFUL. If you like grease (and lots and f it), you’ll love it. Spring roll literally had grease dripping from it. Ginger beef = so-so. Seafood
combo was a combo of small shrimps and bits of squid. Calling it “shrimp and squid combo” would have been accurate. Noodles in the chow mein (also greasy) were soggy. Was delivered late (as usual) and cold. Never again. (Chinese food in shopping malls is superior). Did I mention that that even luke warm?

I don't think I've ever bothered to write a restaurant review on Tripadvisor. I most certainly have never styled my dinner to take a photo to share. However we were so impressed tonight with our New Year's Day dinner (delivery) that we felt we needed to pay it forward for these guys. I've eaten so much bad Chinese and Chinese/American that my expectations are pretty low, but it's tradition for us to order it NYD.
My son, a total foodie, had nothing at all negative to say. He pointed out that everything was properly seasoned and crisp. That they've obviously cleaned their fryer. The sauces are not just sugary liquid, but rather properly made with sour and tangy notes. That's a wow. The best part was that it all tasted like real actual food. Not homogeneous muck. Not oily AT ALL and left room for us to add soy sauce if wanted, not salty. Cooked literally to perfection, which I might even expect for in house dining, but for delivery? Fantastic. The AMOUNT of breaded chicken was double what we have had from other places, and not even close to soggy. And all of this on what I'm sure is a crazy busy night for them. 6/5 stars.

I ordered almond chicken and a vegetable fried rice for delivery. I'm sorry to say this was the worst food I have ever eaten - truly. The chicken had hardly any meat but was covered in batter and deep fried; it was so oily. The fried rice had no taste with a few pieces of broccoli thrown in. I threw the food out.

We've tried Lum's twice now. It is simple, unpretentious Chinese Canadian food that is reasonably price. We'd definitely recommend it as a local Chinese restaurant.

We're travelling and had some complications with our address, but the staff at Lum's went above and beyond to find us. The food was great - tasty and good portions. We would definitely order from Lum's again.

My best experience with Chinese food outside of Metro Vancouver (yeah, we're kind of snobbish about Asian food with so many great choices). But this place has given me another reason to visit Victoria. It's true that most of the food is somewhat westernized, but it's still very flavourful without that sense of things tasting of the same sauces one can get. If you want to experiment further, ask for some items off the "secret" Chinese menu. We had salt fish rice, salt & pepper squid, and tofu & seafood hotpot. All were excellent and all the dishes were a good value. It's a tiny place, with just around eight tables, something to keep in mind if you're in a big group.
