LuLu Shanghai Delicacy & Sake Bar in Hackney

Absolutely amazing services and definitely can tell the Dimsum is freshly made with authentic skills. Grandma's pork belly is mouth watering. Family enjoyed our lunch so much there. We will be back soon for booking the karaoke room for my birthday. Well done Lulu restaurant.

Where do I start 🙈 I was there yesterday for Valentine’s Day called and booked a table for 7:30pm got there at that time was told there’s nothing available for me and my wife 👀 wasn’t offered anything for over 30 minutes. The, lady of the house was very very rude. Not sure if the food was nice as I didn’t eat, nothing me and the Mrs got up and left and went somewhere else

I Called and reserved a table for two for 7:30 pm. I arrived with my partner greeted by a lady who advised they were no tables available. She eventually found a table for two squeezed up in the corner. They were obviously short-staffed. They only had two members of staff we sat down waited over 30 minutes for acknowledgement. Then after 30 minutes, I requested a drink. I was then told by that same lady who booked us in that she had to clear the table behind us because there were people waiting for the table even though we were sat there over 30 minutes with no drink, no menu no nothing. We eventually got up and left after 40 minutes. Customer service is appalling. Not sure about the food as we never got to eat any

There’s a full vegan menu here with plenty of choice for a group, and the food was good, particularly the dumplings! The 3 cups tofu, veg and rice nice enough but unremarkable. Unfortunately the service really really let the place down. One item on our order was forgotten and the same happened to the table next to us. The staff tried to insist we’d received our full order, before realising and then were really apologetic but said they couldn’t make it at that point. The table next to us received some of the worst service I’ve ever seen! With the waiter schooling the guests in how to order “more clearly” next time. We were also charged for a bigger size sake than we ordered (and the ordering was very clear..) but having seen how guests were treated didn’t fancy the confrontation that could have come with raising the issue. Hopefully all a one off…! Go for the food, not for a lovely evening out.

Wow, where do I begin? The whole experience was AMAZING! I asked plenty of questions about the food with the chef and learnt that everything is made from scratch. Every dish I ate was bursting with flavour, and no one went hungry. We didn't have to wait long to be served, and the staff were very welcoming. The ambience of the restaurant was very authentic and relaxing. I was also very impressed to find lager on tap by the pint. We'll be back – my new favourite Chinese restaurant by a mile!

Amazing dimsum and food. The karaoke services my family and friends we all enjoyed my birthday there.

I had a fried rice dish to take away. It was flavourful, generously served and good value for money. I'd happily order again.

This review was originally posted by mistake under an account which belongs to me, but which I no longer use. Visited with family as a party of 4 this evening. It was very quiet, although we were relatively early and there were tables reserved for later on. Absolutely fantastic menu. Two of our party ordered from the extensive vegan menu, and two from the main menu, with sharing sides between the four of us. Our drink and food order were taken quickly, and exactly as we requested, the food came out as and when it had been freshly prepared. It was wonderfully tasty, and there was more than enough that we all felt totally satisfied once done. Service was attentive but not intrusive and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. If I lived closer, I don't unfortunately, I would happily eat here regularly, but I would wholeheartedly recommend if you are in the area (especially good, and huge vegan menu).

The food at Lulu’s is always great, it taste fresh and is high quality. Lots of interesting things on the menu you don’t always get at a regular Chinese takeaway as well as plenty of the classics. We’ve got takeaway and eaten in and enjoyed both over the years. Staff are lovely as well!

I went to this restaurant with my partner after going to another place where I was told there was no fish. The food was good and the service was quick but to be honest it was not exceptional. I wouldn't be in a rush to go back.

The food here is lovely. It’s fresh,clean and not greasy like most Chinese restaurants. You know exactly what you’re eating rather than everything tasting the same. Staff are friendly and welcoming but the only downside being their isn’t enough of them. We waited a long time for our food and when it arrived it all came together,starters included. They’re are forever packaging takeaway orders behind the counter which impacts on the sit in customer In my opinion. But again,great food….

Really lovely food. High quality takeaway. Only shame is delivered in a plastic bag and one if the containers was plastic. There are enough sustainable options now so time to change! Would also love detail on meat provenance to be reassured on animal welfare.

Great food . Large portions . Exquisite dim sum. Large menu with good choices. Dropped by with kids and all cleared and finished their plates. Freshly prepared , no wait . Hot , it’s unusual for me to find nothing to complain or be picky about . Service and food was truly excellent. I should return alone as their sake collection looks impressive and inviting. Envious of those who live in the area and can get their food delivered. If like me your just outside the area or in London, make the trip and drop by. You won’t regret it. Hope to return soon.

I wanted somewhere to refuel on food and with peace and quiet after a long and busy day. Early on a Friday evening it was nearly empty. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The food did the job, though I'm not keen on plastic plates. I left satisfied.

Looks good inside. The service was exceptional. Dim-sum is freshly made in the place and delicious. Then we enjoyed the duck and pancakes and sweat & sour chicken and some nobble dishes. Really good. Tasted fresh and well cooked. Highly recommend and good atmosphere. A fun place to go with good food.

Stoke newington has been missing this for years. The food is fresh and crisp unlike most Chinese restaurants with the softest beef and most delicate prawns. You can actually taste what is in each dish so I’d recommend highly the king prawn ginger and spring...

Beautifully decorated with pictures of Shanghai and China and the team that work there are so friendly. Wonderful drinks and cocktail menu and a delicious lychee Martini. The food is so good as well. Had a few dishes and some dim sum and they are...

At best forgettable, we won't be coming again. Was given a cocktail menu, then told when I tried to order one there were no cocktails that day (I specifically came for the sake cocktails do massively disappointed). Then several dishes arrived before the cold sake,...

I waited an hour and 20 minutes for the first dish to arrive (group of 5 people). Not a single apology or explanation was given. About an hour and 40 minutes into the meal all of the food arrived bar 2 portions of noodles. I...

I ordered from this establishment via deliveroo. The food is passable and edible but is extremely exhorbitantly priced for what it is, considering it mostly consists of onions, used to bulk out whatever one orders. I'm not averse to spending money on food but this...

Lovely interior and atmosphere. The staff are really helpful and friendly and take the time to look after you. Don't think about overly sweet sticky sauces you get in regular Chinese restaurants - this food is delicious and different to the usual takeaways you get....

Really delicious dim sum and very welcoming friendly staff at a good price! I will definitely visit again.

Braised Beef noodle soup... it was a hot day and we thought let's try this restaurant walking distance in our neighbourhood. Restaurant looks posh. So really hesitant to go in. Prices starts from £9. Let's try the braised Beef noodle soup. Food Presentation was perfect....

Fantastic experience at Lulu's for a large birthday party in their karaoke room. Great, authentic Chinese food with tasty cocktails. The portions were big enough that we had leftovers to take home. Lulu was extremely accommodating and a great host - will come back again!

My friends organised a birthday surprise for me in the karoake events room downstairs. The space was really nice, well organised and well lit for karoake. We were a group who came from everywhere around the globe: UK, Hungary, Singapore, HK, Brunei, Nigeria. There were...

I was at this restaurant yesterday and don't usually leave reviews but this food really deserves 5 stars! I will definitely go back and bring some more friends with me. The service was great and the atmosphere really lovely. They also have a second room...

Absolutely fantastic experience with the family at lulu's. Shanghai noodle with soya bean sauce is sweet & spicy mouth watering. highly recommended.

I've been here a few times. I enjoy the atmosphere because unlike many Chinese restaurants it has stylish, modern decor and a relaxed vibe. I first came on a date and it was a good choice. I like the fact you can get proper cocktails....

This place has a lovely ambience and lovely staff but I found the food poor and unauthentic. The batter on our sweet and sour prawns and fish were very thick and rubbery and the sauce overly sweet and way too much of it. They need...

Really expensive very bad food. Dim sum had really thick coating.....It should be paperthin King prawn fried rice was insipid ... really terrible just out a microwave and it arrived when we were still eating the Dim sum. Pale small prawns Beef with ginger and...

Went here with my wife for a dinnwr, as I work nearby on the Church Street. Place is well decorated, someone really put a lof of effort in it. There is also a great cocktail list, offering 2 for 1 during a certain time of...

I went here with a group of friends for a Saturday night dinner. The food was excellent-above average. Prices too are above average for Chinese whilst portions are sufficient but not large.
