No idea if this whimsical name means anything in Korean. The place is tiny, barely enough room to squeeze in 2 nightstand-sized tables on each side of the door, with 2 stools at each. The window sill on each side of the door can double as benches but they are way too tall of the tables. Nevertheless, it's better than no table at all as this place is mainly for takeout's. We really appreciate the air conditioning and not having to eat on the street. Menu is simple -- rice bowls and kimbaps are the main offerings, plus a few sides such as fish cakes and banchan. For rice bowls there are 5 choices of protein: beef, pork, chicken, fried chicken, and fried tofu. "Chicken" is grilled chicken and "fried chicken" are the bite-size boneless chicken. We all picked small fried chicken rice bowls for $7. I am not sure the difference between $10 for large serving or $3 for extra chicken, but you do have these upgrade options. The spicy version simply adds drizzles of sweet chili sauce which I highly recommend. It's like something between General Tsao's and Orange chicken, but unlike Chinese dishes, the Korean spin comes with salad green which is both healthy and refreshing. Taste & serving size were both on point, and with the $7 price tag this is a steal. The same dish at a Korean food court such as Rice Boy would cost about $12. Highly recommended for a quick meal on the go.
Heard so much about this little takeout place so had to try it. I bought the 10 dollar fried chicken rice bowl and the 10 dollar mic bulgogi and pork rice bowl. You get a generous amount of protein in each bowl in addition they add some lettuce and a slice of tomato on the bottom. Chicken was pretty good but tad dry and same with the beef and pork. Will definitely come back again to try the other items on the menu. Place is super tiny and it is mainly a takeout place.
My friend was super interested in coming to this restaurant. As he's seen it on Instagram a bunch of times we walked over and it wasn't get busy so we went ahead and ordered. I went for the beef and he went for the fried chicken. I asked specifically was it bulgogi beef and the lady stated yes (it really is not). It's beef that's been cooked without seasoning. And then theres marinade poured on top of the food afterwards. My friend said his chicken bowl was okay, but nothing to write home about. The salad was fairly fresh. So I ended up just eating the salad and beef togethe rice was inedible and mushy.
Can't go wrong with the bowls here. Prices are low for the amount you get. With salad and rice. The fried chicken has chunky, crispy and flavorful pieces. The container had to be kept open bec. couldn't close lid, also to keep crunchiness. Can make your orders spicy with the sauce they add, which we did for the pork and we liked it. Prepared kimbaps were on the counter but the squid was freshly prepared. Banchans are also sold in 3 sizes. Too bad there was no more fried anchovy bec. worth it at $5 for a pint-sized container. Will pass on the macaroni salad though. We got lucky getting the only 2 tables there (can seat 6-7 total) bec. the line got longer after. The food took a while to come out (they called out when orders were ready). A few people were standing indoors while waiting, so got crowded. Staff were busy but calm. No restrooms. Near Bowery train stop (Grand St) and a walk from Canal St stations.
Filling and flavorful bowls that are super affordable. The salad that this came with had a bright vinegar dressing which I loved and it was super refreshing to cut through the fattiness of the bulgogi. Rice underneath was fresh and everything came out super fast. You can sub the bulgogi with a bunch of other options and they sell other Korean staples here like kimbap. Highly recommend. Inside, there's two small tables to sit so not very suitable for very large groups.
I happened to come across the listing and saw they were around the corner from my hotel. I'm Korean and kimbap is a comfort food when I can find it. I got a veggie roll and a spicy pork roll. The rice was warm and perfectly soft. The seaweed wrap had a nice bit of sesame seed/oil. The spicy pork had a light bite, but your mileage may vary. I don't think something is spicy unless I break out in a sweat and no longer feel my lips. I would have gone back for more, but they were closed.
A must if you're in the area and looking to grab a quick bite to go- I read about this place on Yelp (thank you, fellow Yelpers!) and I will definitely be back. Store is very small- there's only 2 tables that would seat 6 people, so would definitely take out from here. Head up to the counter and place your order (the colorful chalkboard menu will be to your right). The staff were very efficient and I received my order within 5 minutes. I got the small Fried Chicken bowl ($7)- it's a lot of chicken for this price, and DELICIOUS chicken at that. The bowl was so stuffed that they had to Saran Wrap around it to keep it closed! Along with the rice and chicken, you get some fresh salad in the bowl along with their soy sauce based sauce. One feedback is while the sauce is delicious, no need to pour in so much- most of it was pooled at the bottom of the plastic bag. Cash only! I want to check out the kimbap and the beef bowl next time
I heard about Lululala on TikTok-- someone mentioned that it is owned by the same family behind nearby TofuTofu so I thought I would pass by and try them out. They mainly serve rice bowls, with other snacks like tteokbokki and kimbap available. I arrived on a Thursday afternoon, and while the shop space was a little small, there was enough room for two tables. However, the park is right down the street, so I would definitely recommend ordering takeout, as most others did. I decided on the small fried chicken bowl ($7) which was the perfect size for me. The portions are quite generous and it comes with a salad of cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage, and diced apples. I requested their spicy sauce, which honestly was not that piquant so I think it is tolerable by the spice-adverse as well.
BAAAAABYYY when I tell you I was in LOVE with this place?! For only $7 (cash only) you will be FILLED and who genuinely doesn't like cheap delicious eats in a place as expensive as nyc?? Service [5/5]: The service here was really nice. Not much to say about it the girls at the register were very nice and moved pretty quickly too! Ambiance [3.5/5]: The place isn't really too big so I cant imagine how it would be if it were extremely busy but you can still sit with friends (if you're lucky). But overall it's fine for how big the store is. Food [5/5]: FANTASTIC!!! ITS SO DELICIOUS!! I got the $7 chicken bowl spicy and for $7 they fill that bowl up like crazy!! The chicken is so flavorful as well it surprised me when I took my first bite since I thought it was going to be average but it's actually mouthwatering and leaves a delicious aftertaste. The bowl comes with chicken, vegetables, and rice and they don't skimp on portion sizing either they give you so much!! and it doesn't stop there, for $3 extra you can get the large plate and it's HUGE my friend shared some with our other friend who didn't order anything and wow the portion sizing is fantastic! if you're on a budget and you need a tasty filling bite GO HERE!! ITS SO GOOD!!!!! Tldr: I enjoyed the food, very big portion, cash only so please don't bother these women and bring ONLY cash (no cards!!) I highly recommend this spot for some flavorful food!
This is a really hidden place for cheap and tasty Korean food! Their rice bowls are a crazy good deal. I think the chicken rice bowl is the most worth it, it's $10 for a large bowl and they REALLY fill the bowl up. I also tried a large beef rice bowl for $12, and it was delicious. A small order of tteokbokki was $5 (a bit overpriced), but it was delicious nevertheless. I've heard good things about their kimbap and banchan. The staff are extremely friendly. It's a very small store, and there are only a couple of small tables, so be prepared to get your order to go.
Can't believe I'm so lalalate to trying this scrumptious spot. Prices & portions are good, service is nice, & the food is packed with comforting flavors. We got a few things to try, and will absolutely be back to try more! Fried Chicken ($7 small) - The chicken is perfectly fried, with a good crunch, and is suuuper tender and juicy. The spicy sauce wasn't too spicy, and had a hint of sweetness that paired well with the white rice & salad. Will be back for this - probably in a large because I can't get enough. Pork Kimbap ($9) - Good portion, but the price is a bit steep in my opinion. Nonetheless, flavors were light & tasted delish dipped in the tteokbokki sauce. Tteokbokki ($5 small) - Big, chewy tteok with some scallions in a sweet, rich, spicy sauce. Tastes pretty authentic to other tteokbokki dishes I've tried! Would definitely get this again. Fish Cake ($5 small) - This soup is the epitome of a warm, cozy hug in a nice pint. The scallions & fish cake pull it all together, but I would (& wish I could) drink this broth like water. Absolutely delicious - will get a large every time going forward. If you try one new thing - let it be this.
I came to Lululala after seeing posts about how they give huge portion sizes for affordable prices. Unfortunately, they either changed that, gave me the wrong size, or social media has deceived me once again! My order of fried chicken rice bowl (large $10) was definitely not overflowing with chicken. I think the spicy sauce was needed, as the chicken was dry. The salad on the bottom was actually my favorite part of the dish. The menu is very affordable, but I was definitely disappointed.
Checked out the new sister restaurant of Tofu Tofu and I'm happy to report that it's great. The restaurant is small and only has two seats. And by seats, I really mean window sills with TV dinner tables. So you're really here to takeout. Ordered the friend chicken small bowl for $8 and the squid kimbap for $9. It took a bit longer than the 5 minutes they quoted me but the "small" bowl was filled to the top. So much so they couldn't close the lid and needed plastic wrap. You can't beat this got $16. Which btw, they are cash only. The two girls working the counter were very nice too. So if you're talking about value and taste, it doesn't get cheaper than this for Korean food.

I've tried a few of their kimbaps now and just really liked all of them - no matter which protein you get, they're always quite flavorful and well seasoned. Favorite is the beef one. The banchans can be a bit of a miss sometimes, the fish cake was particularly dry this purchase, but I'll still be back. read more

Service- good for a fast paced spot. Ambiance- Cozy, casual and small establishment. Fits maybe 10 people max for dine in. Modern and cute esthetics. Cheap eats and simple food done well! We loved our pork and fried chicken bowls. I also appreciated how the chicken was made to order! read more

I ordered their large beef ($12) and pork bowl ($10). It came with rice, salad and the choice of meat. Bowl was pretty filling and affordable for the neighborhood. Will definitely come back to try their other bowls. Bring cash. They don't accept card. read more
Warmly greeted by 2 friendly staff members. The shop is small and I think best suited for take out. There are 2 small tables total, one at each window that could accommodate 2 people and shelf/windows style seats. Luckily one was empty cause planned on dining in. I had no prior idea it was limited seating. I ordered the small spicy beef bulgogi bowl. $8 . It comes with rice and some fresh veggies drizzled with salad dressing. It's a generous portion and I'm glad I didn't get the large. The beef was juicy and tender. Everything was flavorful and fresh tasting. I inhaled my food so quickly. Very sumptuous lunch. It got quite crowded while I was eating but I honestly was so focused on the good tasting food that I didn't mind the line forming so close to my table. The food is a great value for the taste. I'll return to try more menu items. Cash only and no bathroom. read more
Cash only. Got this roll for nine dollars cash. Pretty affordable and a lot of food. It's not like most sushi that I'm used to so I really like the uniqueness of it. Not a ton of flavor. But a lot of food. Good value. Nice service. read more
Great Korean take-out spot in Chinatown! I got the squid and the beef kimbap and they were both delicious. The menu indicates that the squid is spicy but don't worry, it's not spicy at all. The beef one had a very fragrant sesame oil taste. The kimbap seem premade since they were handed to us immediately after we ordered but they still tasted fresh. Cashier was very friendly. I'll be back if I'm ever craving kimbap and happen to be in the area! read more
Small place with only 2 tables for seating. More meant for takeout. Friendly staff. Cash only! I called to order takeout through the phone and it was ready for pickup in 10min. I ordered the fried chicken bowl (large, $10). They gave sooo much fried chicken. It was overflowing the container so they had to saran wrap it and left a little gap for air so the fried chicken doesn't get soggy. Fried chicken was seasoned well, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Came with rice and salad underneath. The salad was a mixture of lettuce, cucumber, tomato, red cabbage, onion, carrots, and apple. Compared to other places, it's not the best fried chicken that I've ever eaten but it's quite tasty for takeout! This is a great place for cheap eats and I will definitely be throwing this into my rotation for takeout options! read more
This is a super tiny place but great value and tasty food. My friend heard about a special they had for a bowl for $7, which is true, but we both decided on a large bowl for $10. We both ordered our fried chicken bowls spicy and were very happy yum! The fresh salad and rice banded everything perfectly. Good food and service. The place is pretty small only 2 tables it seems more of a take out place. Dining in suites is just fine as well. I'd love to try something else next time. read more
We decided to check out Lululala after seeing all the glowing reviews online, so all four of us trotted into the cozy little shop, curious and hungry. Right away, we were greeted by two super kind folks behind the counter -- always a nice start. The space is small, but there are some cute seats by the window if you're lucky enough to snag one. It's definitely more of a grab-and-go or quick bite kind of spot. I ordered the kimbap, which was good -- but not super memorable. The cheese was a bit cold, and I found myself longing for a dramatic cheese pull moment that just didn't happen. Still, it was solid and satisfying for what it was. To be fair, maybe I just didn't order the standout item, because other people seem to love this place. I might give it another shot with a different menu pick, but based on this visit, it was just okay. read more
I have walked by this place countless of times and finally decided to try it. The owners are super sweet and I believe they also own Tofu Tofu in Chinatown (which is a great place as well). The menu is concise and simple which I appreciate, and had options for everyone (ranging from different meats, tofu options, vegetable options, etc). They have bowls, kimbap, and banchan for sale, which is a great idea for a quick meal. I ordered their beef bowl, pork bowl, and their beef kimbap and all were delicious. (Only $24!) Their beef and pork bowls were served over rice with a salad, and the meats were flavorful and the rice also soaked up some of their sauce. The salad was refreshing as well. The kimbap was a great portion and just as flavorful and satisfying. The inside was small with one table for a few people to share - my recommendation for when it gets warmer out is to get the food to go and have a meal in the park! BTW ** this place is cash only! read more
Me and my sister stopped by for lunch and it was amazing!!! We ordered the large fried chicken rice bowl (3 of them), and i also ordered the chicken kimbap. The vegetables are fresh in the rice bowl and everything was fresh and delicious! The staff is friendly! You pay for your order first then wait for your order to be prepared! You can sit and wait as well! read more

Great deal: small spicy fried chicken bowl for $7, without the long lines like the one around the corner. Two small tables that can fit about 3 people each. Food: great sized portion for "small". I like that they don't overstuff it with rice. Nicely fried chicken and fresh salad with dressing. One thing I would note as a con is the sauce which can be salty. I would recommend asking for less or having it on the side (if possible). Service: greeted as soon as I entered. My order took about 5 minutes to be served. If there are more orders, I suspect it may take a while. Cash only. Saving money on my lunch I ordered HEYTEA on Grand St which is the same price ($7) as the lunch. read more
I stopped by for a quick takeout lunch and tried the squid kimbap. It was solid, but it didn't hold together too well and fell apart. Great flavors though. The menu is small with only a few items to choose from, but everything is super affordable. My coworker ordered the fried chicken rice bowl, which came with a generous portion and big pieces of chicken and a ton of rice, all for just $10. Definitely worth it. I'd come back to try more items on the menu for sure. read more

*CASH ONLY* So many options, and everything is $5-6 for a small and just $10 for a large... how is anyone to compete with this. And not only that, the owners are so incredibly friendly. They literally felt like my parents. Both of them were waxing poetic about this hearty chicken soup, so much so that I was like ALRIGHT, I have to get it. And don't get me wrong-- the soup was good, but it was a flavorful soup with chicken and vegetables, and I couldn't stop laughing after the fact that they just wanted me to eat a little healthy. I also tried their rice cakes, which were packed with flavor and left my mouth tingling from the spices. My friend thought their bowl was so good that they went back the next day to try their kimbap. They saved a piece for me, and it was excellent. I'd highly recommend for anyone looking for cheap eats in Chinatown! It was so lovely, and I am so looking forward to my next visit. read more
I'm a sucker for a good kimbap so I have been wanting to try Lululala. It's a pretty small spot in Chinatown with two small tables. It is cash only but everything is pretty affordable, with the kimbap being only $9. In terms of the food, it was so good and clearly fresh. I got the pork kimbap in particular and loved it. The portions are pretty big for the price, and I liked the tenderness and flavor of the pork itself. I will definitely be coming back frequently! The women working there were also super friendly. read more
A simple and affordable good meal. The owners are very nice people. They also own tofu tofu on bowery and tada on bayard street. I've been a long time customer of tofu tofu but it's been eating my monies away so I was ecstatic to find out there was going to be a more affordable Korean option in the area. read more

lululala, a delicious new inexpensive Korean restaurant, just opened on Hester Street amongst many other Asian cheap eats that border the corner with the Chrystie Street park promenade. With their motto "Finding happiness in little bowls" they offer rice bowls with assorted proteins for a mere $6. Other options include kimbap, a rice roll. The manager was extremely friendly and attentive with my bulgogi (beef) bowl that included rice, greens, onions, fresh apple cubes, kimchi and my bulgogi. While there are no tables in this small shop, I was able to sit in the window ledge to enjoy my tasty meal. Looking forward to returning to try out lululala's other items! Would recommend you checking them out too! read more
Amazing value with perfect portion size! I got the spicy chicken bowl & my husband got the tofu. We both got the small but we're so surprised by the portion size. The salad was fresh and the spicy sauce added an extra kick. Location was very clean & staff were very kind even when we showed up 10 minutes before closing. read more
