Ashton Smith: Spring rolls, tuna ceviche for apps; pork belly soup will change your world, and don't leave w/out tempura bananas - even if you think you don't like dessert. But really, it's all delicious.
Crash Gregg: Downtowner Magazine recommended nom nom at Bida Manda: Amphone's Curry Chicken (Van's mom's recipe), Crispy Pork Belly Soup, Saffron Crepe, Fried Bananas, Mango ice cream.
Leigh Ava: The pork belly soup and filet with the green papaya salads are my two favorites main dishes. Appetizers not to miss: lettuce wraps. Favorite dessert: dessert trio

Laura Daughtry 🧘🏼♀️: The You-Pick-2 (pick two between half sandwhich, salad, soup or mac and cheese PLUS a side item) is the best deal around. Try the Frontega Chicken panini and the mac and cheese!
James Wagner: The Broccoli Cheddar Soup and Asiago Roast Beef sandwich is amazing!
Marci Pampuch: Chicken wild rice soup is the best!

Andy Kotynski: Great food and friendly staff. Need to try the Pho. Restaurant is clean and looks nice. Can get crowded at lunch but worth the visit.
Rachel K: The pho is good but the service is slow and inefficient.
Da Vid: The pho has great flavor as it comes out, but theyve got great sauces on the side if u need more. Bbq pork spring rolls and and brisket pho are super tastey.

Sae Jung: They added Vietnamese food. Pho, vermicelli dish, crepe, and spring rolls. They are all good.
Jeff: Pho is outstanding!
The News & Observer: Sushi Lulu also offers a sushi menu, including a few distinctive specialty rolls such as the Black Tiger (shrimp tempura, cucumber and radish sprouts, topped with spicy tuna and garlic chips). Read more.
Michael Parker: Two for one deals available on the simple rolls during the week. Also, the sushi box lunch is a good value at about $12 for sushi, soup and salad. Read more.
Parker Bell: Best hibachi - but it's a feast. Not super hungry? Share an entree & get an extra soup & salad for a couple dollars. Perfect amount of food & great value. Make this special place a regular stop!
Ella Lee: Love the fried rice, soup, and salad that come with your meal!
