    We had a very lovely Saturday brunch at Sing Sing! Welcomed by very friendly staff and seated promptly (though the restaurant wasn’t very busy at the time). We are always out to try new restos and so happy to come across this one! Mix of western and fusion, we had to try them all! Started off with the tasty bao buns and the Pho BO! - very delish, hard to just keep it at one bun to start! The pork in the pho was tender and delicious! And we had a variety to the pizzas to share - the Funghi was decadent with the hint of truffle - so yum! And we finished it off with the Matcha pancakes to satisfy the sweet tooth! - just enough matcha to taste and not too strong! Will have to try other plates on the next visit, which is for sure we’ll be back! The staff were all so friendly and always checking on us, making sure water is filled, smiles all the way! Do recommend for any occasion! Not to mention, great, clean decor, kinda California meet boho vibe!

    Great lunch. Felt rushed - the tone was set upon checking in (with reservations) that our table had a reservation and hour later. I looked on line and there were still availability for reservations every hour after ours. When you are having several courses, the timeline is set by the server who takes our order and the kitchen. Our order was not taken promptly so that at up into one hour lunch. At the the one hour mark, we were not yet finished but there were other table empty and no one waiting at the door. 😡 food was good and have been wanting to eat here for quite sometime. Would I eat here again -yes. Would I make a reservation for lunch - yes but at 2 pm when you know there is no reservations coming in for your table after because I want to enjoy the food and not chow down like I was at a fast food joint.

    What an amazing experience at Loula’s for my best friend’s birthday! We had a big group of 10 and our experience was excellent from before we even sat down. The wonderful Sierra worked some magic to fit our big table in and then the incredible Paige took phenomenal care of us all night! The food and drinks were top notch – I already can’t wait to go back. Thank you Loula’s!

    Great food selection on the happy hour menu. All the food we got was create and well presented. The atmosphere was great but it was very loud and sometimes hard to hear each other talk.
