Overall this is a perfect little addition to downtown OP. It's in a great spot by the clocktower, has good vibes, and I think if you know what to order, it can be pretty tasty. I have to preface this like I do my other Lulu's reviews; it's different than traditional Thai food, in my experience. To keep it positive, I will say I have the best experiences when ordering two things, an honestly two things only: Tempura vegetables to start, and share an order of Rainbow Peanut Noodles with my wife. The tempura veggies are fantastic, and comes with an addicting cilantro chimichurri sauce. These are real veggies and lots of them; bell peppers, peas, broccoli, green beans, onions, and some mushrooms. A lot of times at other restaurants, this is filler food like sweet potatoes an giant onion hunks.. not here, it's the real deal. The Rainbow Peanut Noodles when fresh are really tasty too; creamy, spicy (depending on what you specify), and it's a huge serving. I love topping it with their fried garlic and a bit of sriracha for added kick. Service here was friendly, even if everything was running a bit slow on the date we visited. My girls loved the koi pond but watch out as some very small nails are sticking out of the wood around the tank. I can imagine grabbing a patio spot months from now, when it's not a blustery 20 degree day, would be ideal. Nice addition to downtown OP that lowkey has some good ethnic cuisine sprinkled throughout.

I wonder why it has taken me so long to visit the OP location. It took KCRW to get me through the door for the first time. I got the shrimp pineapple fried rice. The KCRW special came with a pork spring roll and a banana fried in rice paper with caramel sauce. Though the fried rice wasn't my favorite, the other two items were delicious! I'd get them again for sure. Plus I have had other dishes at another Lulu's location and they were yummy. I'll be back to try curries and some noodles.

Went up here during dinner time and was able to sit at the bar. Bar staff was helpful in suggestion on drinks and to describe the holiday specialty cocktails. I got there Just in time to get and order in for happy hour so I tried the beef rangoon. Which I didn't know was a thing but they were absolutely delicious. I also got the Pepper Beef Basil dish which was a large portion and I was able to get two meals out of it. Very good flavors even if you get the hot level.

We love this place. Every time the food is outstanding and the service is great. I absolutely love the Thai Wings and the Drunken Noodles are so good. It has a fun atmosphere with a little robot that brings food to your table. This continues to be a go-to spot in O.P.

Cute place but different from the Crossroqds location (the one I normally go to). Still a fun atmosphere. I came in to place a to go order. Great customer service from the hostess and the bartender who took my order and got me a water while I waited. The food was well packed and great tasting as I would expect from LuLu's. I had the spring rolls which I devoured before taking a picture and the coconut curry chicken and shrimp. I will be back to this location to dine in someday.

Lulu's newest location in Overland Park carries with it a lot of the charm of their OG location in the Crossroads, along with a tasty take on thai food that is sure to satisfy any fan of this local brand. I stopped in for lunch a few weeks ago with a friend and found it busy, but easy to get in during the week. Like other locations, they have a great lunch menu, that comes with a side, and is honestly a really good portion for the price. Our server was very kind, and the food was on par with what I was expecting from other visits to Lulu's locations around town. I still feel like Lulu's is a bit unique when it comes to Thai food. If you're hoping for something super authentic, you may or may not find it here. I like what they serve up though, and adding in their unique flair to Thai classics makes it a unique and cravable spot here in the metro.

Food - consistently great Service - Friendly and good Ambiance - comfortable feel and "calming waterfall" vibe 12/7/2023 Hadn't been here for a while, was craving noodles. On a whim (hadn't had them before) got the Drunken Noodles. Good golly Ms Molly it was tasty! Ingredients/flavors/tastebudhappysauce Chinese broccoli, bell peppers, Thai basil, peanuts, bean sprouts, scallions, lemon grass & egg wok-tossed with wide rice noodles. I also love their spring rolls and the tasty curry dipping sauce that 'pairs well' with soy sauce in a different bowl. The flat noodles with red and green peppers bean sprouts etc made my taste buds dance. It's the kind of effect where you're so excited eating your pace of eating increases. All levels of hot are available mild up to thai hot - IMHO their "hot" isn't Ghost Pepper hot more like a mild Habenero. "Your results may vary" At the table you have a trifecta of crushed peanuts, jalapenos, and sugar to add to your dishes OR Your Thai Coffee or Tea - which is tasty as well.
