I've tried several of the Ruff Drive kitchens and found them great. With an offer from Uber eats, I decided to try lulubowls - build your own bowl with double chicken, purple sweet potato noodles and other toppings. Peanuts, broccoli, corn. All my favorites.What a disappointment. The chicken was tough and tasteless: it was either day old and improperly stored, or way over-marinated and/or overcooked. Not edible. The sauce was over-abundant, as if its purpose was to hide the terrible taste of the chicken. The toppings were tasteless. Eventually I picked out all the chicken and threw it away, put in some bone broth and ate the rest of the meal. Eh...nothing could save this dish. Bad staff that day? Bad management? Or just plain bad? I don't know. With a dozen great restaurants from this take-out kitchen, I don't need to spend money here. UPDATE: see the really good customer service comment the restaurant made below. I will be contacting them. It's always appreciated when someone hears you!

This junk food junkie loved my first ever bowl. And it was vegan and gluten free so I can't even believe how awesome it was. I ordered the pineapple teriyaki cauliflower bowl with no bell peppers and added mushrooms instead and absolutely everything was delicious! I ordered it served with the sesame scallion rice and I can't even believe how much I loved that rice!It was a really big portion and totally filled me up. I couldn't even finish the sweet potato salad, which was also really good. I thought I would be hungry because there was no meat in my meal but nope. Totally happy and ready for a nap. Wish my boss would let me take one LOL!I found them through GrubHub and the meal arrived nice and warm. I will definitely be ordering Lulu bowls again!

I had ordered a Spicy meat party and Build your own lulu bowl via DoorDash for the last two days. My fiancée and I loved them both. The ingredients are fresh and the sauces are on point, plus these bowls are filling.

I loved my bowl from lulubowls! I custom-created a bowl and the options available all looked delicious, and were super plant-focused. The bowl was really flavorful and I can’t wait to try more items from their menu!

Want to say i called the number to let them know but they sent me to voicemail. Ordered through Uber Eats. The bowl itself was tasty and fresh (except the roasted broccoli was a bit over cooked and didn't taste too fresh). The side salad was disgusting. I took a bite and spit it out. Then I smelled it. It was definitely spoiled.

Food is digusting. The worst I've had in my entire life. Horrible can't even come close to describing what I just ate. I took 2 bite and threw the whole thing away. The food looks nothing like the pictures. Please do yourself a favor and do not order from here. Stay away!!!

This is my first time ever in my life leaving a bad review at any restaurant. I wish there could be somewhere to rate 0 star. Ordered via Doordash, took over an hour to be ready to pick up. Food was meh, poor flavor and quality. I took 2 bites and couldn't take it anymore. At the end, I'm waving goodbye at this place. Please skip this place if you want less disappointments in your life, and you'll appreciate my review today‍

First time trying this via DoorDash. It was a pleasant surprise. Overall: would recommend and definitely order again. Disclaimer: I have been eating low carb/keto since July for medical reasons (short term) but have been continuing lower carb when I can for healthier choices. So ordering from restaurants has been a pain. No sugar, starches, etc. I was really surprised that this place is true to the healthy spin it shows on the pictures. Lol. I ordered the teriyaki chicken. My concern was it might be too sweet. That wasn't the case. It was a little dry (breast meat always tends to be) but a little go-to sauces (my own stash from home) to enhance the bowl was all it needed. I added roasted broccoli to my bowl. I also asked for no onions, they honored that request (something that doesn't always happen via DoorDash). I am really pleased. It tastes like a healthy home cooked meal, not another Asian fast food spot. Side note, if you're looking for authentic Hawaiian, this isn't it. But it's healthy, yummy and I didn't have to cook. Oh. One last thing. Sister added a brownie thing to her order. It was really small and cute but I added some pictures so you have a realistic expectation on size.Okay, for real-last thing I forgot to mention. Lol. The cauli rice is bomb. Sister got bamboo rice in hers. Didn't love it (texture was mushy). I took a gamble on the cauli rice. It was great. It's usually a hit or a miss. They nailed it. I would absolutely order again just for that alone.

Solid healthy option that actually tastes good! I'm a fan of chicken so I really like the teriyaki chicken and the Hawaiian hot chicken. Reminds me of poke a little bit with the crunchy salad bits and island flavors but with grilled chicken instead of raw fish. Bamboo rice was an interesting first try, but I prefer brown rice. Also, seems like they support ethical living looking at the menu options, which is a welcome surprise!
