Ordered the chicken chow mein and quantity is amazing for price! I asked for it spicy and wow it was spicy (and I have a really high spice tolerance)...there were a TON of chilis so caution on that if you order the dishes spicy. The taste was pretty good too. read more

Lulu's Kitchen - Chicken Chow Mein - Szechuan Near Me - Dublin, California

Came here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant was kind of empty at first, but it started to fill up while we were there. We ordered a few items - Szechuan fried rice, Szechuan chicken with bone, and the XLB. The food came out super fast! The rice was really good, it kind of reminded me of the din tai fung fried rice. The chicken was amazing! Lots of great flavor from the Sichuan peppers. Make sure to ask for the hot sauce, it complemented the flavors of the dishes well. The XLB wasn't the best I've had, but it was filled with soup and tasted good with some sauce. Overall, I would definitely come back! I want to try some other items on the menu next time. read more

Wish we discovered this restaurant sooner! First impressions? It's easy to find, has ample parking and clean. The food was delicious with some unexpected surprises. We ordered spicy beef noodle soup (loved it!), sliced beef & cilantro w/house chili sauce (includes tripe & other innards?), cauliflower w/chili pepper (loved it), and fried sticky rice ball w/yacai. The fried sticky rice ball w/yacai was interesting since we only knew of these rice balls in desserts. The dish arrives hot. The rice balls have a slightly crispy exterior and an airy-chewy interior. The yacai was herbally and sweet which we didn't expect. We didn't love this sweet and spicy flavor combination but were glad to have tried it. The waitress was super friendly and we enjoyed talking with her. Next time we are in the area we will revisit. read more

The food was delicious! I got the Mushroom chicken and let me tell you it did not disappoint. It was super convenient as we took it as take out! I would definitely recommend 10/10 read more

Delicious food. Good service. Group of four had a nice lunch and they happily accommodated our various spice tolerances.

Food was so bland with no flavor at all. The sweet and sour chicken was wayyyy too saucy. Definitely won't be going back

We order two items for a light lunch. Sticky rice was okay; it was overcooked/soggy than it should be, the salt level was just right. The drunken chicken was excellent. Atmosphere was causal and loud. Suitable for single person, couples, and family seating. There is space for large parties. Maybe call in for large group seating. Not sure if their party of 20 (two large tables) are available on a daily basis. The group dining today was very loud. I would try this place again. There was a lot of authentic items on the menu. read more

My go-to Chinese restaurant in Tri Valley, perhaps one of my most favorite restaurants in US. As a Chinese, I seldom like a Chinese restaurant in US for a long time. But Lu Lu is definitely on the top of the list. read more

ordered the green beans and mapo tofu. mapo tofu is very very very oil but is still good. not a lot of meat to tofu ratio unfortunately but gotta save somehow. I found a wrapped in my food so uh yeah. green beans r FIRE. like I don't gotta say nothing else. everything is super salty so be warned read more

Lulu's Kitchen - 13. Mapo Tofu - Szechuan Near Me - Dublin, California

All of our entrees were solid and the service was great. We had: ++ Braised chicken with chestnuts - on the sweeter side but really good. Chicken has bones but you can request boneless. + Sauteed eggplant with string beans - spicy and flavorful, good veggie combo + Vermicelli with spicy minced pork ("ants crawling up a tree") - this one was more "mala" than I would like. Make sure to eat this heated since the vermicelli can get stuck together. + Spicy beef with supreme broth - large portion (two takeout containers) of broth and beef read more

Terrible food. Overpriced. $40 for two appetizers...really??? Half of that was red chillies. The only primary flavor in Kung pai chicken was sweet with a total of 4-5 peanuts. read more

Easily one of the worst Chinese food experiences I've had. Salt and pepper tofu had no seasoning on it. Walnut shrimp was like chewing fried rubber. Overall I would not recommend. read more

Wanting to try something different than our usual Chinese food spot. Szechuan it is. So impressed with the food here! This is what we had: -Scallion Pancakes -Xiao Long Bao (happy they offer these at dinner time) -Szechuan Style Braised Pork with Chestnuts -Noodles with ground pork and sauce (perfectly tender and chewy with the right amount of fire) -Braised Tofu -Combo Chow Mein -Preserved Pork Fried Rice Service was efficient/friendly, tasteful decor. read more

No Bueno.... After reading all the great reviews I was so excited to try this place. I was really disappointed. The hot and sour soup, which I usually love was subpar, it was not hot or sour..... Our other items were just OK. I'm afraid I wouldn't go back. read more

I've never really tried anything else from this place except for their Dan Dan noodles. I always get Dan Dan noodles in a party tray whenever I have a party to go to. It's always a hit and everyone loves it. It's super good, you can get it spicy or not so spicy. I'm a regular there around holiday times or any time I call and order they already know what's about to go down haha. Good place . I'm sure if the dan dan noodles are good, i'm sure everything else is good as well. read more

Found ourselves in Dublin for no particular reason. I liked the restaurant overall, but maybe would have ordered differently. 1. Sizzling Squid $16.95. It was really spicy, a decent portion size, but we didn't love the flavor. We love squid, but wouldn't order this again. 2. Sauteed Leek with Dried Tofu Slice $11.95. Probably the tastiest dish we had. Luckily, it's something that's easy to make at home, and I will be looking to incorporate this into my repertoire. 3. XLB $8.95. Decent, thin skin, plentiful soup. read more

Small but very busy place on most days. They have another location in Concord too but I've only been to this one. Never been disappointed and I have liked everything that was ordered. I would recommend the #1 braised pork, the DanDan noodles, the fried fish (Bifentang style fish), and their barley tea. Prices are a bit higher than most places. Parking can be limited. Wait staff is very quick and attentive. read more

I am actually shocked ... trusted my yelper buddy Bob but Set my expectations low since the place previously was average. The food is excellent and prices are reasonable. I am shocked that tri valley has a place that is actually really good Schezwan food. The spicy crispy chicken is excellent bone or boneless tho small portions, Rice cakes both soy and without were on point, dumplings juicy, pea pod veggies was superb. I prob won't get the dan dan noodles since the noodles were too sticky. One of my fav places so I will be back. Service is good, young Chinese Cantonese waiter is wonderful. Place gets packed! Good sign when I see a lot of my peeps eating there. read more

When it comes to Sichuan cuisine, this is as authentic as you could get in the Tri Valley area. Note that during shelter in place, the hours listed here might not be accurate. On Friday night, I called and was told they'd close at 8:30pm. Note that until end of the month, if you order through Door Dash and choose the pickup option, you get 10% off. I ordered six items and were pretty happy overall. Some items' portions were small but they tasted great. I ordered Cold Steamed Chicken with Chili Sauce, Sizzling Squid, Spicy Beef Tendon, Beef Tripe with House Chili Sauce, Seafood Fried Rice and Beef Pancake rolls. The Spicy Beef Tendon and Sizzling Squid definitely had small portions. For the Beef Tripe, seems like they gave me a variety of beef cuts instead of just tripe. The Beef Pancake rolls were most delicious, a must-get! Quality here has been consistently solid. Take advantage of the 10% off and give it a try! read more

Came to lulu's kitchen for the first time on a whim and ordered the "Cold Steamed Chicken with Chili Sauce" and "Hot and Sour Shredded Potato." I'm not usually one to leave yelp reviews, but these dishes were SO GOOD. The chicken was cooked perfectly. The sauce was a perfect balance of spicy, umami, tangy, and a little bit numbing. There were also chunky and gelatinous like noodles(?) under the chicken that soaked up all the amazing chili sauce. The vinegary tasting potatoes were quite good on their own, but the flavor profile was really elevated when paired with the chicken dish. Definitely a combo I will be returning to order again. I also had the "Barley Milk Tea" and it was very good, but more on the sweet side. read more

Lulu's Kitchen - "Cold Steamed Chicken with Chili Sauce" and "Hot and Sour Shredded Potato." - Szechuan Near Me - Dublin, California

Such good food! Best in the area. This is my go to for homie, hot, and delicious sezchuan food. The barely milk tea hits. (10/10) recommend the barely milk tea. I ordered dinner from this place. I got their mapo tofu (10/10), Dan Dan noodles (7/10), spicy fish soup with the chili oil (8/10) it was just a little bald but it was good still, and the fire fried chicken (10/10). This place is amazing. I've eaten here a few times and it always hits the spot. read more

My relatives were visiting so we went to Lulu's for dinner. Overall it was a disappointing experience. Most of the dishes we ordered were just ok. But the noodle with brown sauce and the appetizer drunken chicken were total failures. Usually this type of noodle dish uses regular noodles or even thick noodles for a chewier texture. But Lulu's used very thin noodles that turned to mush in the hot (temperature hot) sauce. The noodles were so soft that they melt in your mouth without chewing. Disgusting! When we asked the waitress about it she just said this is the type of noodle they use. Ok, note to self, never order that again. The drunken chicken was also quite inedible. The chicken was very dry and gritty. When asked about it the waitress said they use chicken that runs around for a chewier texture. Ok, whatever, I prefer chicken that is tender and moist. We probably won't go back again. Not just because of the bad food, but also because of the waitress' attitude. The owner was right there, he didn't say anything. read more

Tasty Sichuan style Chinese food for dinner. Food was ready in 20 mins from placing the order via phone. It was all ready to go in a big box when I reached to pick it up. From all the things that we got I really loved the salt and pepper tofu (it was soft, and crispy, and very light), and the green beans (spicy and so flavorful). The spicy boiled fish filet was good, but it did not have that many pieces of fish. Also, it had glass noodles, which I have never seen being part of the dish anywhere else. As for the chicken entrees - chefs special sauce was a little too vinegar forward but still yum, and I was not a big fan of the orange chicken. Veggie fried rice was simple and a great accompaniment with all these spicy loaded entrees. read more

I guess they were closed for a few weeks due to the covid-19 but then they recently just opened back up again. I end up trying this place because I really wanted some grill fish and they were the only open that had it, so ordered take out. OMG - I wish i have tried this place sooner - they are definitely the best in the surrounding area on spicy chinese food. I ordered 3 different dishes to go, and all of the were amazing! I used to go all the way to newark or milpitas just to get grilled fish, but not anymore. this is now my go to restaurant. Their food is not too spicy that you can't handle and not overly salty that you need to drink a gallon of water afterwards. It just the right amount! read more

Lulu's Kitchen - grilled fish, 1. Cold Steamed Chicken with Chili Sauce, some mixed beef in chilly oiled - Szechuan Near Me - Dublin, California

I really wanted to give a 4 star but another disappointment. It's 5mins away from my Wednesday work route. Ordered their lunch set - spicy fried chicken and with fried food, I guess one could no go wrong. The eggplant on the second dish though was not thoroughly cooked (undercooked), it was flavorful. I had to microwaved it to make it softer. Flavor: 5/5. read more

This is my go to spot for Shanghainese food and I always order waaaay too much food. We always get the wontons in chili oil and this time we tried the sliced pork with garlic sauce, lamb in supreme soup, and the griddle pork intestines. All we're really good. Highly recommend the lamb, it's gonna be part of our regular rotation. Still so many dishes to try there. read more

This place is way too salty :( everything I ordered was incredibly salty to the point I was not able to eat or enjoy any of it

This place is a hidden gem in Dublin! It is small, appears to be family owned with authentic Chinese dishes. They are super friendly too. read more

Highly, highly recommend the Spicy Fish Fillet in Spicy Supreme Btoth! Decent portion. Comes with glass noodles as well. I think this is the best dish from here. The sauteed lotus roots with chili is also very delicious. I personally think that their dan dan noodle and fried rice are mediocre. They seem to do better with dishes with strong flavors! Seriously though, get the fish soup. read more

Good is super delicious and never lacks in flavor! Always recommend the din sum, fried rice, orange chicken, and the wonton clay pot are my absolute favorites! read more

I was excited to try Lulu's because I love Szechuan food and the reviews here looked great. Unfortunately, nothing I ordered tasted close to passable. The dan dan noodles had no flavor and not enough sauce. The hot and sour soup was neither hot, nor sour. And the water boiled fish was not "extra spicy" as we ordered it and was mostly bean sprouts in mild, oily broth. I'm not sure if the chef/recipes changed, but this was one of the worst Szechuan experiences I had locally. read more

We've been here many times and it's always good. They have both vegan and non vegan dishes so it works for us. Food and service are good. Most of their tofu and vegetable dishes are vegan or can be made vegan. read more

Would give this place a 3.5. Docked .5 because of service. Food is good! Been here a good handful of times and always enjoyed the food. Just something to be aware of in case you make reservations for large gatherings. My husband and I held our pre wedding dinner in 2018 with friends and family. We underestimated our guests and was over by 2 people and when asked if I could take one more table (there was easily at least 5 or more empty tables) they said no. So be mindful not to underestimate like us. read more

Kind of feel like I didn't get my money's worth here after dining in tonight. I ordered the pork belly. It was good, very tasty. The sauce was amazing. Problem was they gave me so much potatoes and barely any meat. If that's the case, I could've just went to Denny's and ordered me some potatoes there. I ordered that dish specifically for the meat. Instead, they were greedy and tried to add more potatoes in compensation for the lacking of meat. I'm definitely not coming back here for sure. Disappointed. read more

Outstanding Szechuan, dim sum Chinese food! Located in Dublin. Truly authentic, spicy and great prices. Be sure to order the steamed chicken with chili sauce. Looks spicy, but very flavorful. The lamb with cummin sauce: is amazing stir fried dish. Tender cuts of lamb, onions and peppers. Their steamed pork ribs with sweet rice is one of the best items on the menu! Great service, excellent food and friendly staff. read more

This is my local Chinese-food-go-to. Most dishes are authentic, whether it's Shanghainese smoked fish or fish tofu or other Sichuan styled dishes, in the Tri-Valley, they are probably one of the best ones. I love how they have a wide range of selections on the menu. So no matter what you are craving for, you can find some here. I see equal numbers of Caucasian and chinese guests dine here. This place is by no means cheap. Three dishes could cost you 50+ dollars. But quality and portions are fair. Food comes fast, service is homey and friendly. read more

A hidden gem in Dublin! I was craving some authentic Chinese food and it was definitely satisfied here. The inside has nice decor, so don't be scared away by the appearance on the outside! I mostly came to try the zha jiang main. On the menu, it says noodles with brown sauce. It was really good and a big portion! I tried the non-spicy one and there was enough flavor, needed a little more sauce though! I also tried the dan dan mian - spicy, and it wasn't too spicy. There was also peanut sauce and meat on top, which mixed really well! The cold steamed chicken with chili sauce (spicy) was delicious! The chicken was tender and it even though it says cold, it was more like room temperature. The xiao long bao and pan fried pork buns were good, not a lot of soup in either, but still flavorful! The wonton soup with chili oil was yummy, it also has some peanut sauce in it, which made it less spicy! Overall, I love that for most of our dishes, they gave us the option to choose spicy or non-spicy! I would definitely come back here and try more dishes! read more
