| - Just had lunch at Sweet Lulu down by Bay and Richmond. It's tucked away on Temperance St (west of Bay). I'd say it's a great place a for quick, tasty meal near the financial district with a cool decor and spacious layout to facilitate a decent conversation (so many places in the financial district are so packed or loud that it's hard to have a good conversation).
The menu basically consists of standard asian appetizers with rice/noodle bowls for entrees.
My friend and I share the veggie spring rolls. For my entree, I had a rice bowl with the chicken breast and veggies (Shanghainese Bak Choy, I believe), sweet peanut sauce, rice ribbon topped with cilantro, basil, peanuts, and chili flakes.
The veggie spring rolls were nothing to right home about. It's carrots, daikon and lettuce in a rice wrap with a peanut sauce. It could have used some inspiration: tofu, pickled veggies, something. It's fine, but I don't think I would order it again.
I really like my noodle bowl. There was a good amount of meat. I like the rice ribbon noodles, which are large pieces of rice noodles, and the sweet peanut was tasty.
Serving size was respectable. I'm still pretty full a couple hours after my lunch.
Prices were $8-$12 for the bowls. Appetizers ranged from $4-6.
I think it's a good choice for quick, tasty, asian-flavoured food close to the financial district.
