The food was really nice. I had the pad thai, and it was unlike any pad thai's I've had before, and has a more fusion feel to it. I'd say that it's a mix between pad thai and chinese drunken noodles. The peanuts that were added were a great pop of texture, without feeling overwhelmingly peanut-y, and adding the lime juice definitely elevates the taste. It also maintains its taste as leftovers, and dare I say it tasted better when I ate it at home 24 hours later.The staff are friendly and attentive! Although, when I went, the place was maybe 1/4 full. As a college student eating out alone, the vibes were a little awkward and uncomfortable, but that could just be me overthinking!The menu on their website is a little wrong. The part that stood out to me was the pad thai on their website was listed cheaper than it was when I got there.

Surprisingly good! The cost is quite affordable and the dishes came out beautifully. My friend LOVED her Japanese eggplant with Thai basil. If you have a peanut allergy, this is not the restaurant for you. But if you are concerned about being safe during COVID, the tables are nice and spaced out. There is also beautiful outdoor seating. Their menu seems more dedicated to the cocktails but my peach tea was very tasty.

Restaurant food is plated well and tastes good to OK depending on your order (I liked my eggplant slices but my chicken and pineapple dish was missing pineapples and chicken tasted like it was frozen and not freshly cooked). Food menu feels a bit limited but cocktail and mocktail options were great. Thai iced tea was strangely not sweet at all. Restaurant decor was nice and felt very clean. The staff was pretty kind also! LOVED LOVED LOVED the vanilla bean cheesecake served with mango. Very nice touch.The Restaurant also has two private dining rooms you can reserve. Unfortunately, their communication and reservation process is a bit disorganized. We booked a room via phone and were told that was all that we had to be done. When I visited to actually eat there and check out the room, they said I had to send an email to officially book it even though they confirmed it was booked via phone. Had I not shown up, we'd have booked it, thought we had it, made plans around the location, and possibly shown up to find it wasn’t booked. I dislike that kind of communication.

Delicious Salmon Salad! So many flavors and everything working together harmonically on the taste buds. :)We shall return, for sure! :D

The food is really great but the service is poor. This was our 2nd visit and we had the host as our server again. 2 very large parties in the back of the restaurant. We came midweek but still had a long wait to be served. We missed out on any friendly banter or specials or how is everything? or did you like your choices? or can we get our check? Too pricey not to provide good service. Won’t be back—not sure the poor service will be heard. Large parties win out unfortunately.

4 stars just for the delicious food- just OK service.Very long wait time to order and get food. I also had to ask for water while other tables got upon being seated.When we finally got the food it was so delicious!! Loved every bite! The Thai toast, Pad Thai,barbecued local chicken plate were all amazing! Order the Vanilla bean cheesecake!

Went to LuLuBangBang last night, and if you haven’t tried it yet, you are missing out! They have a small menu, but everything on it looked and sounded absolutely delicious.I had the Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps which were both very yummy and beautifully presented, and my boyfriend had the BBQ Chicken with rice and sausage (forgot to take a picture, but it was so flavorful.) I also had a mocktail- The Rickey- and it was very good as well. The only comment we had is that the food was a bit over-salted, but still delicious.Portions were generous and the service was excellent. They have beautiful indoor and outdoor seating, and can’t wait to go back and try their twist on Pad Thai!

My son introduced me to this and I’ve already made a reservation to go back, The food is fresh and well prepared and the sauces are unusually delicious!! By all means try the shrimp mousse toast. The three of us ate two servings of this. The slender peppers are delicious. My entree was the lettuce wraps—-so so tasty. Next time I’ll try a dessert but this time we had no room for dessert!

This is one of my favorite places to dine in the Triangle. The place is clean and beautiful inside and out. Everything we have ever ordered has been wonderful. Portions are generous and seem pretty reasonably priced. The people who work here have always been great too. Sometimes the service has not been great, I think because they were short-staffed, but they make up for it with the quality of the food and their good attitudes and effort. Cannot wait to go back.

we were here overnight to catch a flight and had an excellent upscale dinner for a reasonable price. it was very delicious with a gracious bartender and the owner who was also cooking checked on us! great experience!
