It was $18 but I had plenty of leftover to eat for dinner. The sauce had a vinegary salty and sweet flavor that whet the appetite. Grilled beef - savory and sweet. The crunch on top provided a lovely contrast. I did not try the phó but the large was enough for 2 meals as well. The waitress provided various sized containers to help us bag the leftovers. I would probably not eat in the restaurant again but I'd go back for takeout.

If you are a pho lover but would appreciate a little more hot kick, broth flavor, and protein in your soup, highly recommend bun bo hue. This spot is hardly ever crowded so you should be fine with a walk in. I've also tried their summer rolls and fried rice options which were great. The waitresses are really nice ladies. You pay at the front once you're finished with your meal. Definitely recommend for pho and bun bo hue lovers.

Didn't plan on lunch but felt the need to take a break, so I followed along past the laundromat till my feet hit the curb outside. Didn't plan on just 'pho', I'm more the lemongrass w/beef and so on. But the soup hit the spot, and so did the iced coffee. Seating's casual and clean. Only two people working the tables and cashier counter. Wait was OK Did I enjoy myself? Yeah, sure. My one (minor) gripe is that the menu could've been a little clearer. it seemed more ala carte, so I wound up getting an extra side of noodles. No worries, we still managed to knock it down.

I came in, placed my order but didn't have the friendliest encounter with the cashier. Didn't get a welcoming vibe at all. I asked for mine to be extra hot and he said "can't do that!" The place was clean and had lots of diners. I got the no. 2 (well done brisket). I asked for extra jalapenos and I was charged for it. Only 50 cents but still. My go to location would never. My order was ready within a few minutes. Got home, put it together, but the meat lacked flavor and I just didn't enjoy it. The broth was just ok. Not for me and I won't be back!

"Feeling more festive?"

"I don't know. I still don't get this obsession with the holidays," Hol responds. Moments later, hoping to lift her spirits and perhaps bring them together closer romantically, Stewart volunteers to celebrate in the same way that brings Hol joy, not knowing that for her the perfect night out involves a bar fight on the third moon of Galtos instigated by none other than Hol herself. Unlike Stewart and Hol, my wife's and my expectations going to Lulu's Gourmet on 13600 Baltimore Ave. in Laurel, Maryland were the same. And those expectations were high, with both of us being fans of pho and both of us having been frequent patrons of the Pho Saigon 54 restaurant that previously occupied Lulu's Gourmet's location. Lulu's servings for the pho, even for takeout orders, are gargantuan, the same size as the barrage of snowballs Stewart playfully launches at Hol before he realizes that she is not enjoying Earth's Christmas holiday season as much as he does. While a tad salty, Lulu's pho tastes great so long as one orders extra noodles to dilute the saltiness. Upon both visits, my wife was disappointed to learn that Lulu's Gourmet did not have any of the Hong Kong Waffles available to purchase that they prominently advertise. On our second visit, she was even more disappointed to not get the strawberry banana cream trang mieng that I attempted to order. I perhaps made a mistake in not getting a receipt to know if we were charged for the dessert and another mistake in showing the manager what we wanted to order on my phone rather than reading our takeout order out loud. Being an optimist like Stewart, I would give Lulu's Gourmet 3.5 stars if that were possible; but, for the purpose of current records, it will have to be a 3.

Ordering was so easy and simplified. You can just go up to the cashier to place your order and pick a table to sit down. We enjoyed our specialty drinks while waiting for our food. The fruit teas with boba and jelly were awesome. It had a nice sweetness with delicious jelly. Our food came out quickly. We started with fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce. There were a lot of large shrimps. The Golden crepe was huge with perfect crunchiness. This was perfect size to share with a few people. The Grilled Pork vermicelli was delicious. It was perfectly grilled with flavorful grilled onions. The P1 pho was yummy goodness with a hint of sweetness of the broth. The S4. Hue Spicy Lemon Grass Soup was good. I expected it to be very spicy which I was a bit concern. But it was a medium to mild spiciest. So I still have my taste buds to try the Banh Mi. We had B4 Grilled Pork and B10 Special Bahn Mi (so we can try the different meat). Like the menu stated the bread was freshly made with perfect crunchiness. The Bahn Mi were flavorful! It was perfectly balance with meat and vegetables. I'm definitely coming back.

Pho- soup base was delicious; we ordered small and it was SMALL, compared to other restaurants, we can get full out of a small pho, but here we didn't; meat quality was good. Banh mi- not authentic Vietnamese sandwich, Asian style but not Banh Mi. Quail- delicious Papaya salad- refreshing but on the spicy side. Pricing- not bad and not cheap either. This spot is convenient for grab something quick and hearty, but not a top rated Vietnamese restaurant from my perspective and experience.

Came here for lunch on Monday (MLK Day) around 1:30 with my wife, and it honestly hit me that we've…read morebeen here plenty of times but I've never actually left a review. Which is wild, because I know I've taken a bunch of food pics here that I've never posted... complete waste lol. We walked in and were seated immediately and ended up getting the second-to-last available booth. Most of the room was couples on lunch dates, plus a group of friends, and later a party of about 7 took over one of the tables. Noise level was mostly moderate, with a quick sprinkle of loud when that bigger group got going, but nothing crazy, still totally fine for a date or a relaxed lunch. My wife ordered the A2 (slices of eye of round steak, well-done flank, and soft tendon). I got the A6 (eye of round steak and soft tendon). The pho was good, the broth had a lot of flavor. I did order extra noodles because while I like the pho here, the portions are a little smaller compared to some other spots we go to. I loaded mine up with bean sprouts, tore up some basil, and let the jalapeños sit in the bowl for a bit for heat. Lately though, I've been more about the chili oil, which they'll bring out if you ask. We also got shrimp summer rolls, which are always a go-to for me when eating pho anywhere. These were fresh, great texture, and the basil really pops. The peanut sauce is one of the best parts. Honestly, I could come here just for the summer rolls and that sauce. I also grabbed a taro smoothie, lightly sweet and creamy, solid choice. Food came out fast, maybe 8 minutes after ordering. Service here is consistently good. The staff is friendly, not pushy at all, and they actually check in on you without hovering. You can always get someone's attention if you need something. They even let a couple move from a table to a booth once one opened up, which I thought was a nice touch. The place itself is very clean, the tables and floors are always well kept. I don't really remember music, but there was a TV on playing college basketball. Overall vibe is relaxed. Parking can be a little tight since it's tucked behind a Rita's and the layout is kind of awkward, but even when it's full you're not walking far, just a compact lot. Price-wise, our total was about $40, but that included an extra summer roll and an extra smoothie. Without the extras, it would've been under $30. My only real critique is portion size for the price, specifically with the pho. It's not a deal breaker, but it's why this isn't my go-to spot when I'm really hungry. I'm a big guy with a big appetite -- my wife would be fine eating here any day of the week. Would I come back? Yeah. The food is good and the service is solid. For me, this is more of a quick lunch spot or a stop when I'm on the move, rather than a full dinner destination. Consistent, reliable, and never a bad choice, just depends on how hungry you are.
