Q: positive

A: Brilliant food and more importantly, fantastic service. I have only been 3 times, but I think I've found a new favorite restaurant in town. Darrell has been at the counter every time, ready with a recommendation and bragging about this homemade sauce or that homemade dressing. All the bragging is well earned, however and his recommendations haven't missed yet. I've tried the beef bowl (great) and the Mongolian Beef (best I've ever had) and have been very happy. Darrel and his brother who's name I did not catch (but you'll see him in the back cooking your meal) are great folks and though the place has a decidedly COOL feel, I (not cool) feel comfortable in there every time. If you're in a great hurry, be sure to tell Darrell, he will find something that can be made in time for you to get where you're going. True Island has the kind of food and great service that this part of town needs. I expect them to be around for a long time.

Q: negative

A: I don't yelp I've never felt the need to but something this amazing I want to share. Celebrating a birthday and return from the army with my family we decided to go here...whenever my sister is on leave from the army we always go at least once before she reports back. Anyway this is not important what is is the fact that the collard greens were on point today so amazing so good slightly spicier than normal but amazing nonetheless. The catfish out of this world it was crunchy it wasn't murky absolutely perfect! Also important to the story you should know that I literally get paid to taste it is my job I'm a chef. Now here's what happened...I ordered the fried chicken and waffles for my children I tasted a piece of chicken because I noticed that they were not eating it and it tasted like peanut butter. Keep in mind that I am at a table with three adults and three children with one more adult also a chef on the way to join us. Working in the industry I called over my server and I mentioned it to him he went to the manager which is what you're supposed to do they tasted a different piece of chicken and proceeded to come and literally disrespect me in front of my whole family. The general manager told me that not only were my taste buds wrong but I should eat less peanut butter. Seriously eat less peanut butter? Now I sat there shocked but I told him the other adults also tasted the same thing he said they were wrong. Then the manager accuses me of actively looking for something to complain of in my meal to get free things. Keep in mind I didn't even order the chicken which he then mocked me for eating my kids food. I had catfish which I ate all of and it was amazing. Also keep in mind that I still proceeded to spend more money on a dessert and drinks but they decided to freeze out our whole table and we sat and waited for 25 minutes for our bill nobody came. When our other guests came to join no one came to take his order so he shared a water with me and ate the leftover food from the birthday girl. No one even acknowledged us we had to flag down another completely different server or maybe it was a busser to get our tab. I wish I would've recorded his response(manager) to me because it was that outlandish. So sadly my first yelp review ever is a terrible one.

Q: negative

A: First time going back in awhile obviously. The service was TERRIBLE. Very, very bad. I ordered some eggplant dish and I didn't like it at all. I usually love eggplant no matter how it is prepared. I also ordered my dish mild and about burned my mouth off eating it. Done with this place.

Q: negative

A:
Lulu's has two things going for it: it's cheap, and it's close to Carnegie Mellon's campus. Besides that, the service isn't great, they have forgotten my food, and the food isn't that great. I keep going back because up until recently, there wasn't any other choice that close to campus for quick Asian food.

The items are hit or miss, and lackluster. Good luck. I'm not saying it's horrible, it's just uninspired, boring, and not that flavorful.
