Veg burrito was ok, needed more cheese and flavor. Service was meh. Don't expect them to get your order right if you want it different than what's on the menu. I.E. no guac etc. I had higher hopes. :(

I was hoping that this place would surprise me as it is the only location I have seen in Vegas that pulls their own noodles. Coming from souther CA and growing up with Noodle House in Rowland Heights that pulled their own noodles too I was expecting a lot more than what we got. The first tip that we should have left and not eaten there was the lack of big table for huge parties. There were two on opposite ends of the restaurant that would seat 10 people at each table. The decor was ultra modern that came out of a magazine but that didn't help the food. We ordered two dishes as we were eat an early dinner. We had the pork and shrimp won tons with pulled noodles and the general tsao's chicken. My biggest complaint was the food was BLAND!!!! The broth that was with the noodles had no flavor. The chicken was bland as well. Though I was hoping it would be more like a pepper sauce the dish was more of a peking style but was not sweet like I'm used to. Overall I would not come back it was 45 for two dishes and water.

French food in Plaza Midwood? Sure, sounds great - let's give it a go! Hubs and I rolled into Lulu quite literally at 5 pm...hoping for an early bird special. Well, not really, but we were the only customers in the restaurant. That being said, our service was just peachy. Inside Lulu is quite adorable, albeit a bit nondescript. For a French eatery I was expecting more Parisian flair, but instead Lulu is charming, quaint and comfortable. The menu is pretty diverse - everything from mussels, to calamari, to pork. They also have a great wine list with some fabulous French wines. We had plenty of time and attention to choose a smattering of inspired dishes, I samples the: Calamari, French Onion Soup, Mimosa salad and Chocolate Bread Pudding. First off, the calamari was delectable! It's lightly fried and accompanied by the tastiest "Asian love sauce", which is a conglomerate of a myriad of spices...I'm thinking Chinese 5-spice? The portion was plenty for two of us and it also comes with an Asian slaw. Mmmm! Hubs ordered the French Onion Soup for an appetizer, which I promptly dug my spoon into. Taaaasty! Real Gruyere bubbling over flavorful onion broth and large slices of onion - absolutely spot on. I went a bit lighter on my meal - the Mimosa Salad. The salad was full of mixed greens, two toasted Brie chunks, apples, spiced walnuts and topped with a light coating of super delicious champagne vinaigrette. It's the perfect summer salad, IMO. And lastly, dessert. I toyed back and forth between their classic Creme Brulee and one of their feature desserts, Chocolate Bread Pudding. Sadly, this was the only disappointing part of my meal. I should have listened to our waitress when she mentioned how delicious the Creme Brulee was. The Chocolate Bread Pudding wasn't bad by any means, it was just ok. It tasted more like a nice French toast than a chocolate bread pudding - I especially didn't taste any chocolate in it. Le sigh - I guess I'll just have to come back and try a multitude of desserts! :)

Mugs is such a great name for this coffee shop. The word invokes so many warm fuzzies, like the ones you get when a steaming hot, rich mug of coffee is placed in front of you. Mugs is a great name for this coffee shop because it invokes the same feelings of fuzzies and cozies. The varied seating arrangements lend themselves to any number of coffeeshop arrangements - relaxing with a good book, catching up with a friend, having a book club meeting, or hunching over your laptop to meet that deadline. The baristas are super friendly and the walls are covered in local art that is available for sale. The coffee is great. It's in a great location. There is literally no reason not to go.
