Terena P.August 13, 2013Must have: octopus, pizza dough and chicken. All are grilled & to die for. The chicken is phenomenal. I'm extremely picky about chicken as it's often over cooked and it was prepared perfectly.
Natalia MacrynikolaDecember 23, 2014The pork belly, though a bit too fatty, is amazing, as is the fish with the crisp fried scallions. Skip the pizza dough--it's just pita warmed up. Great for sharing with friends!
MariOctober 12, 2014A little untraditional with 2 thin patties, goat cheese, pickles and caramelized onions, this is one of my favorite burgers.
Tasting TableAugust 2, 2012Don't miss the tomatoes. The genius chef-owners of this new spot drown Jersey tomatoes in a warm butter. And the rest of the smart, wide-reaching menu of small plates is equally inspired: Read more
Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014Lulu & Po serves shareable dishes like fried anchovies with Sriracha-spiked tartar sauce and iron-pressed chicken in a casual, welcoming atmosphere. Read more
Tashana StewartJanuary 10, 2015Overall amazing food. Get the octopus, pork chop, chicken, pizza dough and beef tongue (special). Lamb belly and bone marrow was just okay.
Ben K.August 17, 2015Great little place with delicious dishes to share. Try the pizza dough, octopus, chicken, bone marrow tacos.
The food is still innovative and delicious 3 years dining here. With that said, some days can be hit or miss (ie scallions in the burnt scallion fish TOO burnt). Hopefully just a phase though.
Danyel SmithMarch 5, 2013chix-liver mousse, trout w/crispy scallions, fries, chix I think cooked with an iron. all excellent. + lightly sweetened apple crisp. #yum
JeffreyJuly 20, 2014Small space, small plates: The only truly outsize thing about Matt Hamilton’s cozy canteen is the flavors. DIY bone-marrow tacos are a signature dish.
Sarah ArnoldFebruary 23, 2014Great dishes for sharing. Get the brussels sprouts, beef brisket, and pork belly. And now you can pay with Cover here! (Esp. if you want to use Amex or multiple cards)
Matt LaszukMay 21, 2015Octopus, pizza dough, burger, chicken, tacos, and any seasonal vegetables are winners here. Great cocktails as well.
Ray LinApril 15, 2014The dishes are for sharing. Gotta try the bone marrow tacos, and the charred chili brussels sprouts are heaven.
Santi AmayaSeptember 22, 2015Very cozy spot for a romantic date. The food is good, the drinks are good. You can't go wrong!- Village VoiceSeptember 4, 2012Don’t let the name scare you; Chef Matthew Hamilton’s bone marrow tacos are unusually satisfying. #44 on our 100 Dishes to Eat Now
- Stuart AdlerMay 19, 2016Expensive small plates restaurant. Very delicious dishes and great atmosphere in this small cozy spot.
Sandra RubinchikJune 20, 2016The burger absolutely stands up to the hype, and I'm pretty sure the pork belly is seasoned with magic pixie dust.
Everything. Order everything. There isn't a dish less than excellent on the menu.
CompassApril 25, 2014Order the bone-marrow tacos and wash them down with a one of their signature cocktails.
Brian KarfunkelJanuary 19, 2015Good but everything was very rich, even the Brussels sprouts (which were deep fried). So we couldn't finish half of what we ordered, for fear of gout.- MariDecember 5, 2015I retract my previous tip about the burger. It's evolved since my original tip and I'm not a fan. Double patties are too thick and too much pickle. Also no sesame bun anymore.
Jason FeirmanOctober 17, 2014bone marrow tacos, heirloom tomatoes with peaches and mozz , fireside chicken
Tom WahlinFebruary 22, 2014Horseradish infused vodka is a must. Want to split the check or use Amex? Pay with Cover.
Lulu & PoMarch 20, 2015Please vote for us. We are up for best burger. Thanks
A GSeptember 22, 2013Really wanted to hate this place bc it charges $13 for 3 shrimp mere blocks from Bed-Stuy, but I couldn't. It's just all too charming and good and mostly genuine.
James SkidmoreNovember 1, 2013In general I like the place, but it's grotesquely overrated and obscenely overpriced. A solid neighborhood option if you aren't averse to overpaying for proximity, but not a destination.
Emma PelznerNovember 4, 2012Delicious pizza dough and other small plates, but avoid the much lauded bone marrow tacos, which i found greasy and bland
Michael DempseyJune 5, 2013Overpriced, under-portioned, and lackluster food. If you want small plates in Brooklyn done right, go to Traif. If for some reason you do go, do not get the bone marrow tacos, they are flavorless.
