Not since the days of visiting the long-closed Vietnamese Restaurant on Doyers St in Manhattan have I had those little Game birds prepared this unbelievably well. Fried to perfection, crispy skin and a killer dipping sauce. If I wasn't such a fool for Pho, I would have ordered three portions and been quite happy. But the Pho was excellent as well! How I envy those living close to this gem! I have to wait until I'm in the market again!

This wasn't on my bingo card, but…read more.. So...I was out in the area on memorial Day. Staying busy and keeping others out of trouble. 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.

Visited a few days ago and honestly, I probably won't return. I have my go to spot for pho, but…read morethey're not open on Tuesdays and I was craving some pho so I decided to come here. 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?" John Stewart, the Green Lantern, and the first Black superhero to appear in…read moreDC comics, asks Shayera Hol, the second Hawkgirl and yet another star of the Justice League Animated Series. "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.

However, I can tell a difference in the taste of the pho broth, which was bland with the absence of typical flavor spices. The egg on the crepe was excellent but the taste was bland. The best was the banh mi (pork) with extra meat was very good. The environment is pretty much the same with a slightly brighter look. Like others have mentioned, you go to the counter to order and then someone else will serve the food. There is water available on a table across of the counter against the wall. A water machine with hot and cold water options. Service and staff were friendly. I still will return to give another try.

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.
