Stopped by Lulu Bang Bang after work while near the Durham area. When you arrive there is plenty of…read moreparking available in the front or back of the restaurant. Walking in the restaurant feels upscale, casual, sophisticated. To be seated you'll check in with the host and then be shown to your table. Once seated we ordered the Lulu Bang Bang Shrimp (battered and fried, served over crispy noodles with bang bang sauce, scallions) which unfortunately weren't very good. The batter seemed like it wasn't fried enough so the texture was chewy and not crispy. For entrees, I ordered the Mongolian Beef (sliced beef, garlic, onions, mushrooms, sweet savory soy, sesame oil) and my partner ordered the Yellow Curry (Braised chicken, green papaya, yellow onions, scallions, cashew). The Mongolian beef meat was so tender, however that really the only thing I wanted to eat in the bowl as the onions were still pretty raw and mushrooms weren't tender. The Yellow Curry was good but on the sweeter side with the papaya. Each entree was served with a side of rice. For Dessert we ordered the Thai tea crème brûlée (with a small scoop of vanilla gelato) which was very good and may have been my favorite part of the meal. Overall, I'm not sure if I'll be back but I'm glad we tried Lulu Bang Bang. If I return I would maybe try the sushi and some of the other appetizers.

The food is where it loses me because of how expensive it is and how it just not good enough to justify the price. We went for our 5 year anniversary. We called ahead to have the whole duck. But it definitely not a whole duck. It definitely was a lovely experience but it a bit expensive and not every part of the duck like we thought. We got some appetizers. We ordered the wellness soup and the tea smoked fish fillet. Both were super yummy. We ordered this lobster dish which right away was too rubbery and overcooked after one bite. The wait staff was quick to suggest us to order something else after noticing we didn't love it. He took our lobster away and we went with the seafood Tom Yum. It was yummy but again not worth the price. I have had more flavorful options for a better price. We got the tea which was wonderful. It was nice how they kept it warm and kept refilling the hot water. We got some dessert which was yummy but nothing special. Again I think it was a good place but for the price it needs to be more consistent and have a better wow factor.

I usually rotate between the pad thai and the nam khao, and both are absolutely packed with flavor. The textures, seasoning, and balance are spot on ( bold, vibrant, and deeply satisfying)! Every bite is amazing, and the food consistently delivers. The space itself is very small, but that just adds to the charm (for this reason we almost always do take-out). This is the kind of place that feels special because it's focused on the food, not flash. It's also one of my favorite spots to support a local business that's clearly doing something right. If you're looking for big flavor, thoughtful cooking, and dishes that stand out from the usual options, Yin Dee is a must-visit (literally never had a bad dish). Tiny space, huge payoff!

There was plenty of parking. We were greeted upon entry and informed that we could choose where we sat and just to scan the table QR code when we were ready to order. We chose a high top and a server brought us water. The vibrant colors and decor gave off excellent vibes. I ordered the Karaage Bowl (on greens instead of rice AND all the sauces on the side) and a side order of seaweed salad. A server brought them to our table. It was not necessary for us to get up once we were seated. Everything was SO GOOD. Like, "I'm mad at myself for not coming here before" good. All of the sauces were amazing too. I ordered them on the side since I wasn't sure how I would like them all, but I think I'll leave them on next time. The "greens" were a mix of lettuce and cabbage. The side of seaweed salad for $2.50 seemed a little small when they brought it out but it was packed in there and was plenty. The server came around a couple of times to check on us and top off our water. We bussed our own trash. There was only one unisex bathroom that I saw. There seemed like a lot of takeout orders going out (it was a little separate from the dining area which was nice). There was also a lovely outdoor area that would be nice if it wasn't 100 degrees. I will definitely be back to try more menu items!

There is an ample amount of seating inside (tables and booths) and the service was lovely. Very attentive servers! My friend and I split the Caramelized Kimchi Nachos, Ko'Jangles Fries, and Karaage Bowl. The Ko'Jangles Fries could have used a bit more seasoning, but the side of honey mustard was delicious. As for the Caramelized Kimchi Nachos, they definitely had a kick from the Sriracha sauce. I also did not realize that they would come topped with a bunch of lettuce, so that was a bit much. But the ghost pepper cheese sauce on the side was really taste with the tortilla chips. The Karaage Bowl was probably my favorite dish as the fried chicken was delicious with whatever sauce was on top of it. Again, it had a lot of lettuce on top which I will now know not to include, but the bowl was solid. The roasted nori really brought out a great umami flavor. I think I would definitely focus more on customizing my order next time I am here so that I can fully enjoy my meal. There are plenty of options on the menu that I would not mind trying next time. I would probably rate this place a 3.75/5 stars if I could! The food did not wow me; it was pretty simple but good portions and taste to fill you up.
