It has been a long time since I have last eaten at LuLu's Noodles - probably over a year, in fact. Yesterday, I suddenly had a hankering for the place and Nate agreed to get dinner there with me, despite having called it his "least favorite place to eat" in the past.
My experience was not a particularly enjoyable one. First off, I ordered the Ma Po Tofu without pork, and clarified the "no pork" portion of the order twice with my waitress. When the food came out, there was pork in it. The waitress pleasantly told us, "But Ma Po Tofu comes with pork!" Yeah, I know that.
They brought me out a new plate, but by that time I was more than a little annoyed. I had just come from the dentist, so that probably added to my irritability. Anyways, I thought my dish sucked, to be quite blunt. The consistency of the tofu was awful and resembled undercooked chicken. My food was hot, bland, and pretty boring. I would have preferred a noodle dish (after all it is called LuLu's NOODLES for a reason), so I don't know why I ordered that. I couldn't make a decision though, so I hastily chose the Ma Po Tofu. I used to always get the Pan Fried Noodles, but since they are made with egg noodles, I won't be getting that anymore. Sigh.
In conclusion, I probably won't be heading back to LuLu's again, unless I am invited there as part of a group event. Then I would just be going to be polite.

We had a group of 10, and decided to eat dinner at LuLu's. The food was tasty, and inexpensive. The service was pretty good, especially for a group of 10. The food arrived fairly quickly for everyone. The veggies were crisp and fresh. The only trouble was finding a place to park in the area.

If you don't mind a little walking, the CMU parking lots are open on weekends and after 5 on weekdays. The Morewood lot is the closest to Craig St. I always park there for the Carnegie Museums, too.
