The food and service were excellent. It was a great price for a large plate of food. The burger was so big I couldn't get a bite at first! Only downside was it's a fairly hot day and humid so the restaurant was a bit warm inside. Totally understandable.
The kind woman who helped us also expertly and KINDLY helped a homeless gentleman who came in asking for some water. She expertly got a to-go cup and filled it for him and was polite about it, then got him headed back out the door with no fuss at all. Nice to see some humanity nowadays.
I will gladly come back any time we are in the area!
Incredibly delicious, kind, and patient! The owner gets amazingly delicious fresh salmon straight off the boat and was not only kind enough to show me the beautiful fish that was thawing for the next day, she went above and beyond and gave us some smoked salmon to eat for later.
The food was phenomenal, unbelievably good. It's a shame I never came here before, but I'm happy that after several years in the U District I finally decided to stop in. All staff were incredibly friendly, the price was a steal, the food was beyond delicious, the service was speedy, and honestly I don't think I could say a single thing they need to improve on at all! They even were incredibly patient with my 9 year old sister who my wife and I were watching for the night, and brought a smile to her face with their aquarium and friendliness. If I could rate 6 stars, I would.
I recommend anyone looking for delicious fish, chicken, or beef burgers/sandwiches: visit this place ASAP! You won't regret it!
To the owner(s): thank you so much - you were wonderful and I hope to see you again very soon. ♥️
Highly recommend this hole in the wall restaurant. Food was outstanding, must try their famous burger, and super friendly staff. I kept coming back for the burger. Hands down one of the best burgers I had in the city. Prices are very reasonable too. It's a rare find.
We stopped by on our way to the farmers market and had a great meal. The burgers were delicious, and the fries and onion rings were hot and tasty. The menu was extensive and service was fast and friendly. Would definitely recommend Mr Lu's for anyone looking for an authentic burger experience in the U-District!
The staff here are really friendly. They were able to customize the sandwiches to our preferences. We ordered the grilled salmon and the blackened salmon sandwiches along with a side of fries.
Both sandwiches were fantastic. The buns were toasted, the salmon was cooked just right, and the fries were fresh and crunchy. The sauce that comes with the blackened sandwich was also good.
The whole meal was priced reasonably. I highly recommend coming here for the fish sandwiches.
Fantastic place to get a well-crafted, reasonably priced burger and more. The poutine was equally delicious, full of flavors and perfectly crisp. And all hand-delivered by Mr. Lu. Great experience!
Really fresh piping hot and tasty. We had Fish and Chips and catfish sandwich. It has thevasian diner vibe with the nondescript TV and Music. Best fried fish in our neighborhood.
Beware that they share oil between fish and chicken. As someone with a severe fish allergy, this was very dangerous for me. It’s too bad because I used to LOVE their fried chicken sandwich.
The service was friendly and knowledgeable. The food was outrageously good. Wow! I will go back when I'm in the area again. I went with 3 other people and they said the same thing about their food. I had a burger. My friends had the salmon, and the other had a BBQ burger. Everyone enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere. Thanks 😊
These burgers are my favorite in Seattle. I love the variety and the different flavors they offer, from Hawaiian to Southwest to Canadian (get a plate of poutine for $6). The menu makes it impossible not to come back, since there are only so many burgers one can eat at once. At Mr Lu's, that number is definitely one. They don't mess around with the size of the burgers. Each one is a beautiful, delicious, saucy creation that leaves you feeling like you just ate a big juicy burger. I would also recommend the waffle fries.
