The service was great ironically when I came in the guy who took my payment already knew that I was the guy who called and ordered something and had it for me right away when I walked up. This is kind of what you would call a hole in the wall spot, is located inside of a building that has other places in it, and it was easy to find and you know it's good because they are the only place that had a line when I came into the building. The riblet, the yams and the cornbread was my favorite.

I was drawn to this spot because it's Black-owned and full of character--and it didn't disappoint. The space has a cool, local vibe that feels authentic and inviting. They also have local art hanging on all the walls, which customers can purchase if they like which adds to it's welcoming atmosphere. I'm not vegan, but I couldn't resist trying the mac and cheese since it's my favorite dish and I really enjoyed it! The owner himself was our server, and he was incredibly warm and welcoming. He took time to share the history of the restaurant, his aspirations, and his passion for its future, which made the experience even more special. He even took pictures with us before we left. The service was great, and my friends loved their food as well. I'd definitely return if I'm ever in the area. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back to explore more of the menu. Trio is a true neighborhood staple with great food, great vibes, and a lot of heart. If you're in town, make sure to check it out!

    Before commenting on the food taste and quality, I want to emphasize how important it is for this…read moreestablishment to exist in such a neighborhood. Normally, daily Ethiopian food that's not in the US are vegan, so what is offered here is closer to what's authentically made in Ethiopian culture. I enjoyed pretty much all the dishes I had, and I would recommend this spot to anyone who wants good vegan food. My friends had the awaze tibs, which contained seitan, a high protein meat substitute, and it was seasoned very well, having an adequate amount of spice. I ordered the mushroom tibs, and it was okay, because it tasted as if the only seasoning was salt, and it was a bit dry, which indicated that the mushrooms were overcooked. In addition to such, we had a few veggies on the samplers, including miser, ater kik, gomen, fasolia, and keysir. They all had a good amount of seasoning and in general tasted good with the injera. I would say, though, that they may have all needed a bit more mekelesha, because I have had more vibrant-tasting versions of all of those veggies elsewhere. One thing worth noting was that shiro wasn't one of the options for the veggie sampler, so I had to order a separate portion of shiro, since I considered it necessary when consuming Ethiopian food in general, and it tasted good, in a conventional manner. It seems like per the menu that they have a shiro wot now, which indicates how popular it is among customers.

The Wot and rice are the definition of comfort food, the falafel were crispy, and the mushrooms came out of the kitchen sizzling. Service was quick and incredibly kind. Next time you're looking for a new, vegetarian/vegan bite - definitely come to Lulu's!

    I absolutely adored this place! As a relatively new vegan, I am still getting used to avoiding…read moreingredients at restaurants, but this made it so easy for me! I was drawn in by the ambience of the place. It was very cute and urban, practically begging me to sit down. It's an order and pay first style, which took me so long, because everything on the menu looked so good! Due to a bit of confusion, we ended up changing our order multiple times, but our server calmly helped us through each step. I'd like to also take a moment to appreciate that they use no plastic in dishes and boxes too! It's so environmentally friendly! Although it's just slightly on the pricier side, I'd say it's pretty great for a completely plant-based restaurant. My family and I ordered a mac and cheese, Crunchwrap (with fries), chili, a bowl, buffalo cauliflower wings and a cookies and cream milkshake. The buffalo wings came first and they were amazing! They were perfectly sour and a bit of spicy. That really hit the spot! To cool my mouth down, I drank a bit of my milkshake, and I could not stop! The oat milk was so rich and creamy, giving it the perfect flavor and texture. The Crunchwrap had "meat" inside it that was so real I actually got scared! It was such an authentic taste. The chili came with vegan sour cream, and I'm not exaggerating when I tell you it was some of the best sour cream I've ever had! It also came with jalapeños which paired perfectly with the warm chili. Finally, the bowl was irresistible. It had crispy tofu on top that made my mouth water. After devouring my meal I ended with crispy French fries that crunched with every bite. One of the best meals I've ever had! Overall, I totally recommend this place no matter what diet you follow!

    I very rarely get to go to vegan restaurants since I'm not a city gal. So when I do it's major…read morecause for excitement! This is all vegan food, and you order at the counter then find a seat and they serve you. I tried the chikn sandwich with chili and found it delicious! The chili was flavorful and the sandwich was large, I brought half home for later. Would definitely be a repeat customer if I lived in the area. They automatically charge you gratuity (if you eat in?), which I found a little odd. Maybe it's common locally but I don't enjoy being forced into things like that. I'd also like some no cal sweetener. All they had was sugar for tea or agave.

Staff are learned about the food if you have questions. We come here for the Steak & Chips and Cherry Curry. The Steak & Chips are the best we've had in the TC, known as Beef & Potatoes in Vietnamese restaurants. The Cherry Curry is the only one of its kind - a Thai red curry with dried cherries. Other dishes we ordered were the Calamari , Papaya salad & Sassy Basil. The calamari was nice & crispy. Papaya salad was Thai style so not pungent and the Sassy Basil had great flavor. We also had some Fried Rice. We will come back for sure.

Reservations can be made, but they don't have an online system for doing that, and don't take reservations until 4 pm. Also, with their busy take out orders, getting through on the phone is a point of friction they would do well to fix. That aside, the restaurant is very pleasant esthetically with colorful lights, window sunshine and a generally upscale, but friendly vibe. Prices are reasonable and the service is unfailingly great. We had their pork eggrolls, which are crispy and satisfying. My wife had the Sesame chicken which was good, but not as good as her favorite sesame chicken at Shuang Cheng restaurant in Dinky Down. My go-to is the Chicken "Slayer" stir fry which is mushrooms, peapods, carrots, bamboo shoots, and onion with a very garlicy sauce. You can opt to have a choice of proteins (or tofu or veggie only). To me, it is consistently very good. The portions are large, but neither of our leftovers were very good reheated. It would be nice to be able to get a smaller portion.
