Came here after watching a tik tok food blogger and I'm happy I came, this cute cash only Korean restaurant located in the heart of China town is serving up some pretty fresh Korean fried chicken for the low low. I got a fried chicken bowl with comes with white rice and a salad packed to the brim for $7 and a bulgogi beef rice bowl with rice and salad for $8 bucks topped with spicy sauce is a must. The bowls were very filling due to the large portions of food they give. Service was fast friendly and fresh. There's only 2 small benches for seating so intend to take your food to go. If you're looking for some really good cheap eats this is your spot. It didn't miss. read more

I came here several times usually get the spicy pork and beef which were fine. Feels like they change the recipe from when they first open. I tried the spicy fried chicken and there should be some warning or maybe mines off. Its way too spicy, I had to down half my ice coffee and my teeth actually aches. It should be the sauce on the rice, the chicken was fine. Hot level felt like 4. read more

Tuesday, around 4ish 2/10/2026 Ordered a Large Pork and Large Fried Chicken. The staff and service was nice and welcoming. But, my orders when I got home were the small not the large and I was already in Brookyn. Good thing I came home because there were no condiments, utensils, or napkins. The food was tasty but, not exactly what I paid for. read more

Ohhh man what a total hit!! I almost forgot how good this was and I believe would have gone back sooner had I not forgot. FYI- not ada accessible or stroller friendly . Luckily there was a lovely woman who helped us down. Think about her daily. So sweet. It's really the little things. Food- Fried chicken and beef bulgogi: both amazing Ambience - cute small seats if you want to eat inside Would be cool if they could put little tables outside since the line is getting long. Price - excellent read more

Good comfort food at a great value. Our go to are the fried chicken bowls with extra meat, and squid or chicken kimbop. Recommended- you will feel highly satisfied! read more

This cute, friendly neighborhood shop offers a budget lunch bowl that brings back memories of the lunch boxes made by my mom and grandma. They sell small lunch bowls for $6 and large ones for $10, as well as homemade fish cake and kimchi. The lunch bowl comes with a mix salad with dressing and a healthy scoop of pork, chicken or beef. You get the option of adding spicy sauce to the bowl (please do!) to make it extra delicious with a little kick. Even though I came during the lunch rush, I felt the warmth and friendliness of the owners as I was served. The portion is pretty generous for $10 and it's a healthy balanced meal due to the salad. The pork was delicious and their sauces accentuated the flavors. I'd love to come back and try their other items if I'm in the area! read more

This small family owned hole in the wall, serves grab and go Korean rice bowls that are perfect, perfectly balanced. This is the same owner as tofu, tofu on Bowery. I've gotten their large beef or large pork, rice bowls. The big container is half filled with salad, half filled with rice and then on top of it is a very hefty portion of flavored meat. It is a good balance meal to have in the neighborhood if you don't feel like regular Chinese food. I did also try the Topoki, which I was expecting to be a little bit spicier, and it's more on the cheesy side. I also tried their Kimbap, which honestly the rice was a bit too gummy for my taste so I probably skipped that next time. Give them a try. read more

Cash only right now but to get a whole bowl of warm rice with your choice of protein and salad on the side for $6, it's a pretty good deal. I went with beef which they happened to run out of so they also gave me some pork as well to fill up the bowl. Personally, not a fan of the salad (apple, raw onions, kimchi etc) as I'm not really a salad person. Just wish that they had seating inside their spot. read more

Lululala - Beef pork rice bowl - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Love this place since they have great customer service and affordable prices. A small rice bowl costs $6 and large $10. That is definitely hard to beat! Most items are $6 or less. I tried the pork and it has a tasty marinade flavor and salad is generous portion. Ambiance is welcoming and feels homey. Staff is amazingly nice and serves with a smile. Sweet gem in Chinatown that is cash only, it is my go to place for affordable Korean eats. read more

New restaurant alert! Cash only. The Bulgogi bowl was good it came with salad. I recommend all of the kimbap. Service is very professional and friendly. Very clean inside too. read more

Tried their chicken and rice dish. I made sure to ask for the non spicy version. They accomodated with providing a sweet soy sauce on the side and even gave a sample of their spicy version to try. Just make sure to ask for it on the side, so your food doesn't get completed sauced if its not to your liking. Otherwise its a decent bowl of fried chicken thigh meat that's lightly seasoned, no crunch, but compliments well enough for the rice. The large size is $10, the slightly smaller is $7, but I didn't notice much difference from container size. Also, its cash only, but that's fine because of the flat price with tax already included. Next time I'll ask if I can get the rice without the salad, because it seems they add some greens with a grape tomato. I not into salad and I'm sure others like the addition of veggies with their meal. But, I prefer not to having my rice watered with neighboring veggies and a fuller plate of rice. read more

Great tasting food and $7-10 is REALLY affordable because the portions surprises you. Great customer service and staffing. I would definitely come back here no doubt. read more

Great food at affordable prices. The fried chicken is a standout but be prepared to wait a tad longer as the back kitchen prepares it.

Pretty solid Kimbap here. The bulgogi bowl was a little bit on the sweet side. But that's not surprising. I was hoping it wouldn't be too sweet. I'll give the other bowls a try. For the price and food here it's a good match. They are the same owners of tofu tofu and tads fried chicken. read more

I ordered the bulgogi kimbap. It took 10 minutes to make it fresh. I took it home and it was still warm and the flavor was so delicious. My new go to place for rolls. read more

Lululala is a great spot for cheaper and faster korean food. They don't have a lot of seating inside, their food though is very home styled. Very flavorful and clean. I've been here a couple times and some workers are nicer than others. Last time I was here the cashier was rude. Someone came into the place with a dog as well and she was nicer to that customer. I do recommend this place and I would come back!! read more

This cute little Korean place just opened and the people working there are super friendly. The price are very reasonable and portions are big. For $10 I got all this Korean fried chicken on rice.

Really great spot for a quick lunch. I tried the veggie kimbap, which came filled with a good variety of vegetables and some egg. The rice was well seasoned, a bit sweet and sour, so I didn't feel the need to dip the rolls into soy sauce. For $7, this is hard to beat for a light meal. read more

Cash only Walking in, the space is simply set up with a blackboard menu on the right side and the food preparation station and cash register in front. There are no tables or chairs to eat the food at. There is a ledge by the window but I'm not sure if customers are allowed to sit there. I would say this is a good place for affordable take out, but not so much for dining in. They don't seem to be set up for online ordering yet. When you do order in person, some items are not listed on the chalkboard but are labeled along the food preparation counter like Tteokbokki. Speaking of food, I tried the beef kimbap, fish cake soup, and tteokbokki. The kimbap was good but the soup and tteokbokki needs work. I thought the soup was not umami enough. As for the rice cakes in tteokbokki, they had a slightly soggy exterior by the time I got to it. However, compared to other Korean places in the neighborhood, their prices can't be beat! I think I paid $18 for all 3 things. This place does have room for improvement. However, it is a relatively new business at the time of this review. I hope that it continues to get support and grow. I'll be back to try other things! read more

What a find!! This is a small, neighborhood friendly Korean shop ran by the same owner for Tofu Tofu (restaurant at Bowery - also good recommendation). The staff were super kind and friendly when I entered the store to order. Keep in mind, this place is cash only!! All the prices were affordable and not overly expensive, in reference to the food provided. For example, the small tteokbokki (rice cake) was $5 and I was not expecting a lot personally (scarred from prior experiences at other stores), but I was surprised to see that it was filled with the larger rice cakes (longer/thicker than the typical ones used) and there was also glass noodles in there!! Usually, most stores in NYC would offer more sauce than rice cake but this did not have that. Also, I don't really see noodles served in tteokbokki unless people are ordering rabokki (with ramen noodles mixed with the rice cakes), so the glass noodles were a nice surprise. I have never ordered the tteokbokki at Tofu Tofu, so I'm not sure if this is the norm for them. Still a plus! There is no fish cake with the tteokbokki, which I'm a little sad about but they do offer fish cake soup (eomukguk) as a separate menu item!! Now, the kimbap was larger than most kimbap spots. The rice was very glutinous. For a small kimbap ($8), 12 pieces still are a decent amount! The rice and meat/veggie/egg ratio was good (not overpowering from one to another). Even though I prefer my rice to be less soggy, the price was so worth. Dipping the kimbap into the remaining tteokbokki sauce was a tasty blend. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. It's not super spectacular but it was a homey environment with the traditional Korean snacks at affordable pricing. I think I would go back to try their rice bowls because I have seen the positive reviews and am interested to see if they truly match those reviews . read more

Lululala - Menu 4/2025 - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Lululala means happy in Korean and wow I was in utter bliss sampling one of everything. The rice bowls with a protein, rice and salad (beef, pork, chicken, fried chicken) are prepared with such love and attention to detail. I greatly enjoyed the salad which had diced apples, red onions, carrots, cucumbers, romaine lettuce and grape tomatoes. The beef was so delicious, the boneless fried chicken, pork and chicken, all terrific with wonderful sauce. I cannot believe the value for the amount of food at $6 a rice bowl. The kimbap served in different versions of beef, pork and fish cake were the best I have ever had. Everything is so fresh and flavorful! This new takeout restaurant is amazing because the excellent food is coupled with the most gracious and hospitable service. I will surely be a regular since I love Lululala so much! My staff, my family and I all give 5 out of 5 stars! read more

Rice is super undercooked. Hard rice in every bite. Not the first time, usually happens when the boss lady isn't around with just the coworkers working. Please fix as rice is your main base otherwise food is still great. read more

Absolutely amazing! The Korean fried chicken bowl, easily the best $7 you can spend in NYC.

The owner is very thoughtful and caring. She gave us extra lids so we could share our food better. She split the large fish cake soup into 2 small so we could share the fish cake soup. The owner also gave us complimentary kimchi to go with our meal. The food was so good! I definitely will recommend this place to all my coworkers and friends! The fried chicken rice bowl is 100% worth it. The fried chicken was super crunchy and juicy! The kimbap was flavorful and crunchy! I had to buy two more to take to work tomorrow! The fish cake soup is my favorite and I'll be coming more often! read more

A small Korean small eats spot with impeccable service opened by a Korean couple who also owns the my favorite Korean restaurant Tofu Tofu a block away. I've been frequently going to their restaurant since they first opened years ago. Not meant to be a seating area and cash only. I usually take out and go. They have unbeatable prices for their kimbap and bowls. I got the bulgogi bowl without the salad and kimchi cucumber and macaroni salad. Their vegetable and pork kimbaps are so yummy too. read more
