Since we have been attending a church in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, our family has really been enjoying exploring the nearby restaurants after worship.
This was my third visit to Lulu's. My first visit, I went with the Pad Thai. Same with the second visit. Both times, the Pad Thai hit the spot and the price was definitely right.
This last visit was on a Sunday afternoon and every single table was taken. Even with the packed restaurant, our order was taken quickly and the food arrived not too long after. The only service hiccup was in trying to get our check and some to go boxes for our leftovers.
For our family of 4, we ended up with:
- Fried Wontons (kinda different, kinda good with the red bean filling)
- Gyoza (never got one - the kids gobbled them up quickly)
- Yeung Chow Fried Rice (the entree I ordered - very tasty, not too greasy, a little heavy on the onions)
- Lard Nar BBQ Pork (my wife ordered this - I scored a bite and it was very good!)
I don't claim to be an expert on Asian cuisine (though I happen to be Asian myself). Lulu's has a pretty expansive menu that covers quite a few different countries. Considering the scope and the low prices on the menu, I don't expect perfection. This is cheap eats place that does what it does well.
I read a few of the other reviews of Lulu's and pleased that my experience has been completely different. We'll be back...
