- 40th birthday dinner
I celebrated my 40th Birthday at Lula Mae yesterday, and it was truly an amazing experience! The private room was gorgeous. The atmosphere was so relaxing and at the same time so festive! It’s a perfect place to celebrate any occasion with a big group of people. Music was so perfect too! Food was so delicious. It was so good that we are already planning to go there next week! The service was great. Ella, Roof and the rest of the team gave us their 100%. From refilling glasses to making sure our table was clean at all times- thank you guys so much. You really made my big birthday celebration so special and memorable!
- birthday dinner
Sometimes fun is enough… First, let me say, that Lula Mae delivered a fun night out, though it left me frustrated as there were consistent and preventable issues with the food. I am not familiar enough with Cambodian cuisine to judge its authenticity, but the flavors were delightful overall. But in the end, it felt as if the kitchen had an issue keeping up with the crowd - and the execution suffered. The misses: The Tokyo Mae cocktail, was painfully sweet – almost undrinkable, the tuna "crispy" rice lacked any crispy-ness, and the fried rice was mushy - resembling more a chunky mashed potato. Most dishes came with some seemingly preventable issues. That said, the flavors were good - and we mostly finished what we ordered. On the plus side: the atmosphere was boisterous and festive, complemented by fun, genuine service. They went out of their way to help us celebrate our friend's birthday - by sharing some of a cake meant for the staff - a touching gesture. Standout dishes included the flavorful beef carpaccio and short ribs – proving that Lula Mae has potential. We also enjoyed the cha kway with tom yum butter - overpriced - but still recommended. So, would I go back? Yes… If they can tighten up the kitchen execution, this spot could easily become one better restaurants in all of North Brooklyn.
