| - My girlfriend was eager to go back to Lulu's as she was a regular during her days attending Art Institute of Pittsburgh. So it looked like a great place for an evening snack (not really a late night place).
First the bad. I ordered the Korean bibimbap bowl with duck. The bowl was topped with kimchi and duck. The duck was greasy but tasty and the kimchi was a little dry. Beneath this thin layer of toppings was an iceberg size portion of rice. Too much rice. Now, I like rice, but I like rice with something to go with it. It's like eating plain bread, doesn't make sense, you need your pb & j to top your bread. Now the bowl was only $7, which explains all the rice, but still, give me something, anything, to sauce my rice.
Now the good. I had a mango smoothy and some scallion pancakes. The mango smoothy was made from fresh mangos and definitely hit the spot. I'd get a big gulp of that next time. The scallion pancakes were the thinnest pancakes I've had. I've had medium thickness (my moms pancakes), thick pancakes (little dragons in Columbus, OH) and now thin. I really enjoyed the thin, easier to munch on and you taste the salt and oniony-ness more. The mango smoothie and scallion pancakes each earned the 2 stars for Lulu's.
Maybe next time I'll just get mango smoothies and onion pancakes.
