Lum Inn Chinese Restaurant

This Chinese restaurant in Wagga Wagga is one of the best I have tried recently, especially compared to another one I dined at that was more expensive and had a fake glamorous feel, like Shangri-La.

The restaurant is closed without any information about a new location. The sign above the sidewalk is still hanging, but other signs near the entrance have been painted over.

Wouldn't say it's easy to find - down a lane way behind a fairly plain doorway. Then go downstairs into what we presumed was an old cellar. Not wheelchair accessible. Typical Chinese restaurant type menu. It was very quiet on the Friday night we were there, only 3 other tables, maybe we were too early. Service was a little off-hand, like the waitress was bored, but the food came quickly, was an OK size for the price and was tasty. $60 for our entree, 2 mains and drinks was OK.

I have visited this traditional Chinese restaurant on two occasions, and every dish we tried was delicious. However, the restaurant itself is quite basic so don't expect anything fancy. The staff are friendly, attentive, and polite. With some improvements, the atmosphere could be much better, starting with the old and poorly lit on-street signage which makes it hard to locate for first-time visitors. The entrance is equally uninviting with a plain glass door and inadequate lighting. I would return for the tasty food, but some updates to the ambiance would enhance the overall experience.

Absolutely woeful! Worst Chinese we have ever had in our lives. Honey King Prawns were covered in a pluto-pup like batter and there was no prawn mixture on the prawn toast. Lucky to be 8 small pieces of meat in the garlic combination. Very disappointing. Definitely would NOT recommend.
