    Food is good but nothing special that I would crave again. Very expensive and small portions. Our favourite dish was the stir fried thai noodle. The beef tataki and pork belly apps were also good enough that I would reccomend. The popular miso egg was very underwhelming, I expected more flavour. The tuna poke was also disappointing. Tiny 1cm cubes with a bunch of puffed rice chips. The $20 dish is basically an appetizer.

    We got a table with no wait without a reservation. We chose the quieter upstairs dining area. The server suggested we order things to share family style, so we did. All 3 of us agreed that the kale salad was the best dish. It could be improved by cutting the kale smaller. It was hard to serve and hard to eat, but really tasty. It was topped with crumbled all dressed chips. Overall it was an enjoyable dinner.

    Really nice spot for snacks and drinks. I enjoyed their speciality cocktails and light bites. The hot dog bau was intriguing and the pork belly was very flavorful. Dishes on the smaller side. Beef tongue skewer was not bad as well. The sauce was well done.

    Back again over 2 years apart. Food and drinks remain amazing. Service was pretty good. A great spot to go to share food and try a little bit of everything!

    Great vibe. Cocktails were amazing, and the staff were all very friendly. They have a killer happy hour as well ... highly recommend sitting at the bar and conversing with all of the fun/friendly bartenders

    Just wanted to update my review to show the amazing drink I forgot to post! Our great server yelled 'your drink is on fire' when he delivered to our table, ot was hilarious!

    Delicious cocktails, bites and company @thelulubar Starting off with the pineapple Negroni and Look Out Below Small tip. If you're a Moscow mule fan, don't get it here. They don't use ginger beer but use ginger syrup instead. Everything is sooo good. I'd say my favourite was the the king oyster mushroom skewer and coal roasted halibut and steak. And the wasabi edamame. Who am I kidding. All of it was so good. Food came fast and furious and service was amazing. For bites- - steamed edamame with wasabi dressing - omg. Best beans. Ever. - steamed lobster dumplings - king oyster mushroom skewers you MUST get this. I literally saved it to eat lay as my dessert. - grilled chicken skewer - fried coconut squid - coal roasted halibut yum!! - warm beet salad - miso roasted cauliflower ( forgot to ) - wood grilled beef strip steak with maitaki mushrooms Okay. Roll me home back to Vancouver now. Thank you

    Great spot on 17th. The food is simply phenomenal. Asian fusion might be my best description. The diversity of ingredients and flavors sets Lulu apart. See pictures for more. Service and staff is very welcoming and greet with recommendations. Atmosphere is vibrant with multiple seating options: front patio, side patio, inside, or at the bar.

    Cute and creative drinks with fun appetizers !! Pleasant brunch experience and exited to go again some time in the summer

    The food was pretty bland. Great drinks, great service, and a really cool place. But all those creative dishes lead to lack of flavour.

    Came here for happy hour drinks. The cocktail menu is interesting and delicious. We had the bao, beef tongue, and skewers. I would recommend all of them. There was ample seating and we did not have to wait very long during a busy weekend.

    The second time at Lulu was even better!! Not only because of the ambiance but the food was sooooo delicious. The steam bun burger was the highlight The pork belly and steak were fantastic and as much as we wanted to try a few more things, the cocktails didn't allow for that to happen ‍. So many amazing cocktails. One of the best places to eat in Calgary. Definitely a must try.

    Grilled Chicken satay, crispy Brussel sprout salad, and mochiko fried  chicken.
    Jessica F.

    My fiancé and I shared the grilled chicken satay, crispy Brussel sprout salad, and mockiko fried chicken. All three were so delicious and there was more than enough food for the two of us. 5 out of 5, highly recommend! We'll be back. The coconut cooler was also amazing, best mixed drink I've ever had!

    There are some good stuff about this place…read more I got the Poke Special Bowl. The fish were fresh and the portion was big. The scooper spoon they used was big. They were very generous on the fish. Only thing I didn't like was the rice as a bit hard. I wish it was more soft and warm. But overall, I loved it. Good big generous portion for the price I paid. Too bad the restaurant is not in downtown. It is a bit of a walk from my place (downtown). Definitely can't come here during lunch time. Highly recommend giving this place a try.

    Have been coming here everytime we go for Coco or Tokyo Street Market, so I think it's fair to say…read morethat it's not bad. But that being said, there are some things they could definitely improve on. We have ordered the salmon, poke special, spicy poke burrito, and their poke hotdogs. Their bowls are great, very loaded and the flavour profile is great. The poke burrito was a mess and wouldn't order again. The hotdogs were prepared horribly, all the times we ordered it, so safe to say that we won't order those anymore as well. Also, the last time we ordered the poke special dog, it was very blah and almost cold. I would say that we would probably come back just for the bowls, if we are in the area, but in my opinion the 17th avenue is a far better location. Also, everytime I enter this store, it smells of something of chlorine, which their other stores don't smell like. So can't truly recommend this location, but if you are in a pickle and crave poke it's not too bad.

    The quality of their fish is very good. Looks to be a family business with the mother waiting…read moretables, father as chef, and daughter helping out. Very sweet family and good service. It's a clean and charming but small space with only four group-size tables, and long benches along one side of the wall that wouldn't be comfortable for eating. Unless they typically have long waitlists, it might be better to get rid of the longer bench and squeeze-in a couple more tables for individual diners. Their ordering system can be a little confusing, first you order from the menu and then select modifications or extras on their tablet. The tablet is arranged from the restaurant's point-of-view, so it would have been nice to get some guidance and instructions from the waitress on how to use it properly. I'd recommend getting extra fish, and extra sauce if that's available, should you prefer an adequate balance of carbs, proteins, and moisture in the poke. Unfortunately I did find a tiny hair in my meal which could be easily missed, still a No Bueno.

I ordered the Yuzu Poke Bowl (Coconut House Blend, Ahi Tuna). The bowl was ok but it was very salty. The portion size was ok or somewhat small. It would be nice if they added more ahi tuna in the bowl. One thing I liked about Hula is that they have sesame on the side to be added as toppings. From my pictures, you can see how much I added. When I arrived I saw a long lineup. Right away, I went on Ritual and placed my order there. Food took about 5 mins to be prepare (while the app said 10 mins). I think it would have taken the same amount of time if I actually waited in line. So I definitely saved time by ordering on Ritual. Hula is located in Brookfield Palace. There are plenty of seats. Yes they are located in the plus 15. Hula is also located in Vancouver. The menu is very similar. I do like the Calgary location more than the Vancouver location.
