Dive into fresh, contemporary dishes like chicken salad with ginger dressing and crispy won tons, or Szechwan chicken with eight vegetables at this casual pan-Asian hot spot. For dessert, don’t pass on the wanton wanton sundae.

“We had Pad Thai and some pot stickers. It’s fast and it’s really well made.”

Lulu’s is just that. A lulu. A doozie. And one of the best bargains this side of a two-for-one sale.

Lulu’s is pan Asian — blending cuisines from various Asian countries such as Thailand, China, and Korea: the result is delicious

Ideal for a group of friends, a birthday party or a quick bite before a movie, the Evanston eatery boasts a simple and tasty “small plate” menu along with oversized noodle bowls, Asian-influenced entrees and a colorful, quirky drink list. Service is swift and the atmosphere casually funky.

When husband and wife Daniel Kelch and Laura Van Dorf launched Lulu’s Dim Sum & Then Sum in 1992 they were ahead of their time, serving a version of Asian cuisine — that’s since become ubiquitous.

The atmosphere at LuLu’s is low-key and casual, but the food is anything but low-key…trust me, it was goooood.

When it’s cold outside, spice up your life to chase the chills. Colorful and lively, this family-friendly restaurant with its welcoming Buddha state also draws a college crowd.

A springtime dish from Lulu’s Dim Sum and Then Sum in Evanston: spring asparagus tempura with Saikyo Miso vinaigrette.
Hungry City Guide: Chicago
Fun, fusion fare in a funky atmosphere! Don’t miss the “Wanton Wanton Sundae” for dessert. Funky Asian-inspired art, and an impressive collection of Godzilla figurines.

Uninspired buffets are the norm in the world of all-you-can-eat dining. That’s why Lulu’s Dim Sum is real fine.
The Onion
The deal: On certain days, Lulu’s offers all-you-can-eat dim sum and Pan-Asian foods, so customers can order all the spring rolls, wide rice noodles, and potsticers they want.
Good enough to order thirds: The crispy potato croquettes served in spicy chili sauce.
Lulu’s combines American-style gratification with Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Malaysian, and Vietnamese flavors.
