Eating here put a huge smile on my face!…read more First of all, when you walk in, the decor is cute and welcoming, and so was the lady running the front. My friend and I ordered every type of lumpia they had to start and kare kare and sisig silog for mains. The lumpias were all good but the vegetable one was our favorite. Next, the mains came out and I was impressed with the portion! My dish, sisig silog was just $14 and was a massive full plate of meat and garlic rice with a nicely done fried egg. The kare kare was $16 but they gave 3 substantial oxtails which is generous. Honestly this food was so good. After many KC restaurant visits of mediocre or disappointing food, I could have cried tears of joy. The meat was perfectly seasoned, a nice balance of savory, acidity, and aromatics, and not too fatty or salty with some nice crisp/crunch from the pork belly skin. The garlic rice was perfect, not too oily or salty with good garlic flavor and complementary to the meat. Fried egg was crispy with runny yolk, the way it should be. The pineapple was a nice treat too, it was somehow so sweet? I tried my friend's kare kare and while I'm not a big fan of the dish itself, this is the best one I've had! And the oxtail itself was delicious - soft, moist, and flavorful. The only downside I can think of is that you might have to wait a while when it's busy since this is only run by a small family. Maybe try to be one of the first parties in the door. Go support them! Great food and great value. I certainly will be back whenever I can.

It is a lot of work to keep the grill going and cook everything, which makes it more of a novelty than a place I would visit regularly.

But step inside the door, and you've entered an Asian teahouse that's welcoming and cheery. The walls are painted a bright mint green, with paintings of herbs and an entire wall of customers' photos celebrating their birthdays. The place is open and airy and the tables are spaced well so that one is dining in a communal place but can still carry on a conversation in some privacy. Shelly and Lin-Lin were our servers, and they were AMAZING! Shelly greeted us and was a most hospitable hostess; when we asked for a table nearer the windows, she was happy to oblige. Both Shelly and Lin-Lin guided us through the menu, answering our questions and giving us thoughtful recommendations for food and drink choices. Our meals were EXQUISITE! My friend had the Chrisnana roll and I had the lunch special of two rolls with onion soup. Both were plated beautifully; we took photos because they were utterly charming! The Chrisnana roll was delicious; the banana was surprising but melded with the savory sushi flavors. My California roll was a perfect blend of crab, avocado and cucumber wrapped in perfectly-cooked rice. And my Sweet Potato roll was mouth-wateringly delectable! There was a crisp topping on the roll which perfectly complemented the sweet smoothness of the potato filling. Both meals were reasonably priced and served quickly. When my friend and I lingered to talk, both Shelly and Lin-Lin checked on us to ensure we had everything we needed, but we never felt rushed to leave. They were so friendly and genuinely happy to have us join them at the restaurant--it was such a warm and welcoming experience! We'll definitely be back, and we'll bring more friends! Thank you so much for a delightful time!

Unfortunately, the food was a huge disappointment. After work, a coworker and I decided to grab lunch because I was craving Thai food--specifically yellow curry, which is one of my absolute favorite dishes. Since I'm new to the Kansas City area, I've been trying different local restaurants, so we decided to give Lulu's Thai a chance. I ordered the yellow curry, and my coworker ordered the Pad Thai. Sadly, my yellow curry was the worst I've ever had. It was extremely bland and lacked the rich, creamy flavor that yellow curry is known for. I had also ordered a second yellow curry to go for my daughter, but after tasting mine, I immediately asked them to cancel it because I knew she wouldn't enjoy it either. Instead, I ordered pork dumplings to take home since those are another one of her favorite foods. Unfortunately, those were just as disappointing. She took one bite and said they were the worst dumplings she'd ever had. I spoke with our server about my meal, and after leaving the restaurant I called and left a voicemail for a manager. I wasn't calling just to complain--I genuinely wanted to discuss my experience, see if a refund was possible, and I was even willing to come back and give another dish a try if they wanted the opportunity to make it right. Unfortunately, no one ever returned my call. The lack of follow-up was just as disappointing as the food. Good customer service doesn't end when a customer walks out the door, and I expected at least a return phone call. Based on this experience, I won't be returning. I really wanted to love this place, but between the disappointing food and the lack of response from management, I just can't recommend it.
