    Peking Duck
    Jennifer T.

    Finally checked this place out for its famous Peking duck! The staff brought out a cart and carved the duck tableside, which was really neat to watch. We also tried a few other dishes, and everything was good. The service was great and friendly throughout our meal. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

    Parking: Lots of free parking. Interior: Clean and...modern lol Service: Went right when they opened during a weekend - staff was friendly and attentive. Food: Ordered the duck and some other dishes - all were delicious! Drinks: White wine paired well with the duck! Overall: Definitely enjoyed the food but felt like the price was a bit overpriced - still was an enjoyable experience though!

    The space is modern and comfortable without trying too hard, and the food actually delivers. The moment you walk in, the sleek, chic atmosphere sets the stage for an incredible meal. The Xiao Long Bao is the real highlight - thin, delicate skin, plenty of savory broth, and that authentic flavor you hope for. Just really well done. I also tried the Kungfu Panda cocktail, which blends baijiu, sake, and soju. The baijiu comes through clearly but doesn't take over - it adds a nice, distinct kick that works well with the meal. Service was friendly, everything came out hot and fresh, and the whole evening felt easy and enjoyable.

    The Duck!!!

    We had a nice welcome and professional friendly service, but the Duck is what makes this restaurant truly special. Our Duck was as good as the one we ate at Tin Lung Heen in Hong Kong. We were all delighted. Nice dining ambiance as well.

    Excellent ambiance, every single dish was a hit! Great customer service. A bit on the pricey side, but a perfect location for special occasions. I can highly recommend.

    We happened upon Lulu's as we were searching for chinese cuisine. So, glad we stumbled upon this great spot. The ambiance was a cross between asian and ultra modern, we loved it. Adeola was our magnificent server. She had great suggestions for what we may like and she was spot on with the ideas and her service. We started with the Xiao Long Bao, homemade in house and they were so good (we even got to watch the chef making these). I decided to have the Wagyu Spring roll as my meal, and it was out of this world. Full of flavor, with a satisfying journey on my pallet. The side rice our server recommended was probably some of the most robust flavors I have ever encountered in a fried rice, simply delicious and paired well with the golden prawns. Next time we will def be trying the Peking duck, served flaming, table side where they carve it up for you! A wonderful dining experience!

    My review is for my favorite HOUR...Happy Hour Happy Hour is in the bar area only. Sunny the bartender was AMAZING! He was polite, professional and polished. My friend and I asked him many questions. He was very helpful and friendly. Great customer service! Service gets 4 STARS Ambiance is so chic and modern. I love the colors and decor. One of the coolest Asian Fusion restaurants. It's lovely and ultra plush. It looks and feels special. I really loved the Asian art and gold silverware. It was clean and classy. Ambiance 4 STARS So for food it almost went left. Everything I wanted to try they didn't have or were saving for New Year's Eve. Sunny to the rescue. He went and asked if they could make me some Wild Mushroom Truffle Rice. Presentation was on point. OMG this rice dish was so delicious. It was savory and rich. The mushrooms were the perfect touch. The flavor and depth of this rice was divine. I can't wait to get it again. The only thing it needed was beef. I will be sure to add a side of beef next time. 4 STARS Cocktails were made with love. Presentation was nice. Lychee Martini was good. Pornstar and Spicy Margarita were ok. Old fashion was fun and Mimosas were good. 3.5 STARS OVERALL...it was a good time. Looking forward to returning. They are still pretty new and working out a few kinks.

    I chose this restaurant to celebrate my birthday with my family and made reservations a week in advance. We even called ahead to confirm our reservation, and prepaid for the Peking duck in advance so we were shocked when, just two minutes before our scheduled reservation time, the hostess called to tell us that our table was not ready. She asked if we could wait at the bar and, when I asked how long the wait would be, she said she wasn't sure but that it could be about an hour. To make matters worse, she suggested that we place our food order while waiting. After about 15 minutes, we were finally seated, but the table was set up for five people even though our reservation was for six. An extra chair was squeezed in for my adult son, leaving us cramped and uncomfortable throughout the meal. The service only deteriorated from there. Our first course, the Peking duck, arrived in a reasonable amount of time and was enjoyable. However, the next dish, Szechuan chicken, did not arrive until about 45 minutes later. The dish was supposed to be served with rice, but despite repeatedly asking for it, the rice did not arrive for another 20 minutes. By then, the chicken had gone cold and was nearly gone because we were hungry and had no choice but to start eating. The fried rice that followed looked more like plain steamed rice than fried rice. We then had to wait for utensils because none were provided. When the soup arrived, we once again had to ask for bowls, and it took more than 20 minutes for them to arrive. At that point, our patience had run out. After spending more than two hours at the restaurant dealing with delays, missing items, and constant service issues, we decided to cancel the final two dishes. A manager came over, apologized, and offered discounts on the bill. While the gesture was appreciated, the issue was never about the money. It was about the experience. This was supposed to be a special birthday dinner with my family, and unfortunately the evening was completely ruined. Between the reservation problems, poor pacing of the meal, repeated service failures, and lack of attention to basic details, this was one of the most disappointing dining experiences we have had. We will not be returning.

    My review is of the happy hour. I went after they were open for a month. They were out of a lot of the food options. I really wanted to try the mushroom fried rice so I was glad they were finally able to prepare that for us. The drinks on the happy hour menu were more than $10 but the bartender modified them to use happy hour liquor and made those for us at the happy hour price so that was really nice. The drinks were really good. The once upon a flame and pretty n lychee cocktails were really good. Overall it's a good happy hour. The drinks are reasonably priced but the food is more pricey.

    Came on grand opening night and sat at the bar. Food was okay, but drinks were good! Andy provided great service at the bar and the ambiance is lively and fun. Drinks: I had the Wayfinder Martini and Pretty N Lychee. Solid espresso martini and the lychee drink was sweet and tarte-perfect balance. I definitely recommend their drinks! Food: For appetizers, we tried the Lulu's Wagyu Roll, Fried Dumplings, Crab & Pork Xiao Long Bao, and Wagyu Xiao Long Bao. For entree, we got the cumin Lamb on Sizzling Plate and Mapo Tofu. Overall, the food was okay. Everything was decent, but nothing stood out to us. They were out of Peking duck, but I will for sure come back to try that! I have been in the search for the perfect Mapo Tofu in Dallas. I have yet to find it, but the Mapo Tofu here was good. Next time, I would order it again with extra Sichuan peppercorns. Service: Andy the bartender was very attentive and kind. Although he was very busy, he still took care of us very well. Gave us good recommendations. The other bartender, Monserrat, was very nice as well. Ambiance: Very lively and modern. It's kind of giving "Crazy Rich Asians" vibes. The interior design especially the bar reminds me of that movie. It's pretty fun and upbeat with a hint of club.

    The ambiance is a vibe, and the staff was friendly, but our server did not have the best communication about which food items were out. Overall, we were not impressed with the food. Make reservations for 5:30 and was disappointed that the Peking duck experience needs to be reserved in advance. We also ordered 2 other items, the crispy fried dumpling and the wagyu fried dumpling, which were also out. I also think it the dumplings are overpriced. Traditional soup dumpling (xiao long bao) (1/5)- not enough soup, and the meat is bland shu mai (2/5)- plump and juicy, but again also bland wagyu soup dumpling (4/5) - had the best flavor and was juicy duck fries (5/5) - was good lu lu golden prawn (3/5) - it's salted egg flavored, but the shrimp was evenly coated, and the sauce was sitting on the bottom. I love salted egg snacks, but this was too eggy for my taste.

    First meal here an impromptu decision for Friday lunch. It wasn't crowded at all. Plenty of parking. Ambiance very nice, bright, classy comfortable with a good looking bar. Service was terrific - they were very responsive. We had the cucumber salad, pork XLB, Chinese broccoli, hot and sour soup, and 1/2 duck. The duck was delicious and well presented with several accompaniments. Crispy skin, moist tender meat, and the pancakes were individually separated. Nice touch. Chinese broccoli was good, perfectly done and nice flavor. Hot and sour soup was filled with ingredients and was ok. The pork XLB had thin skin on bottom, thicker on top and plenty of flavorful broth which was fattier than usual. They serve it with a sweet vinegar (it looked like what you would normally get with the ginger slices but was sweet) - which was not good and didn't go well with the dumplings. We asked for normal black vinegar. Much better. The cucumbers were terrible. Would not recommend getting. Super oily and lacked the dimensional flavors of salt, vinegar, and garlic. We sent it back for them to doctor up and it came back slightly better but not good. Wouldn't order that again. We saw several whole ducks come out which were presented well. The place is pricey but we will be back to try other dishes and the whole duck.

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Exceptional Service, Delicious Food, and Beautiful Setting... We've already mapped out our next visit/entrees

They were not only beautifully crafted but absolutely delicious--each sip had us dreaming of swaying palm trees, ocean breezes, and a Hawaiian getaway. We loved both the Mai Tais and the Beachy Bookkeeper! We decided to share a few appetizers. The Meatballs al Forno was my favorite...packed with flavor and perfect for enjoying with friends over drinks. The Heirloom Tomato Burrata was okay however, the tomatoes didn't seem ripe and were hard and chewy. The Lobster in a Jar was tasty - on the pricey side if you ask me though... One of my favorite things about this spot is the ambiance. The lighting is low (and by low I am flat out dark where you almost can't see your hand in front of your face), creating a dark, cozy, and intimate atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and unwind after a long day.
