Poke Loulu

Been here a couple times and would say it hits the spot for when you are craving poke and happen to be in Burbank. I wouldn’t overly rave about this place as the service can be slow, the quality of the ingredients is decent and the price is pricey. On the positive the portion is good size and the flavor is on par. Iwould also add that the interior space is not the most well decorated and doesn’t make me wanna stay past getting my order.

Very clean place. Everything looks fresh and new. The girl who served me was nice and friendly. The price point is the same as other places. The portions are very generous!! The fish is fresh. If you’re a big sauce person (like I am), I suggest you get extra sauce on top or the side. They don’t mix it in, only put it on top (which is fine). The house sauce is SO YUMMY. My only wish is that they would have either fresh fried onions or perhaps a chili powder mix to sprinkle on top—but that’s only my personal preference! They do have the store-bought crispy onions and fresh chilies. I’ll definitely be coming back to this place!!! You MUST try!

This was my first visit and a very good experience! The restaurant is immaculate. The gentleman behind the counter was friendly and took the time to answer all my questions about the options for my poke bowl. I chose the small two protein (salmon and spicy tuna) bowl with half brown rice half salad and a bunch of different toppings to take out.
The freshness of the ingredients was obvious in the salmon! The only reason I'm not rating this 5 stars is the restaurant space itself is tiny and somewhat plain. I would absolutely come back here and take out again.

Trying poke at this place is a must for everyone. When I visit a poke restaurant, my top priority is its cleanliness, and I'm happy to say this place is exceptionally clean, with fresh ingredients. It's a charming family-owned restaurant with a convenient location and ample parking nearby. My first experience here was fantastic. I ordered a bowl with white rice, tuna, spicy tuna, salmon, and albacore, topped with their delectable sauces, crisp cucumbers, accompanied by wasabi and ginger. It was an unforgettable meal.

I was surprised how busy this place was. Granted it was a Friday night around 6:30, but was surprised and happy that a new business had a good crowd.

I got the half salad, half brown rice with Albacore, Salmon and Spicy tuna. Included crab, seaweed salad, ginger, avocado, and edamame. Topped with ponzu citrus, furokake and garlic crisps. It was good but not filling. But it was flavorful. I was happy to see they served Ito En tea. I'll be back to try other options.

The Poki is really fresh and the price is around average ~$14.50 for 2 proteins. Besides the proteins/(rice/salad)/avocado everything else is unlimited so stack up on the crispy onions yum! I will deifnitely go back here again.

I heard about Loulu from a local merchant so I took the postcard {discount coupon} in for the discount and to support local business. I brought my kids, we love poké and our hopes were up , but it proved to be a great disappointment and quite a bizarre experience.

We arrived and it seemed very clean and new. We looked at the menu, limited, no soba or noodle options, and there was only 1 person working there. But the basics of suburban poke were available.

No one greeted us. No " hello, welcome please have seat, will be right with you...."Nothing. Completely ignored. Not even a smile. It's was confusing, hard to determine if they were really in business.

A few small tables, but we assumed we had to order from the bar in the corner. Think of Baskin Robbins. There was a glass case with a quiet teenager behind it.

There were 5 women already in a line at the serving area. They were milling about. They were in uniform, possibly from a local beauty college?? Couldn't tell. They ordered one at a time. Each order took 5 to 10 minutes. We left after the 3rd order started, realizing that it would be quite a while until we could interact with the only employee.

We left after 10, 15 minutes of being ignored.

My children and I tried to get in line or put in an order but the employee would not recognize our existence. He seemed intensely nervous. I used to work in the food industry and it was evident that the young man had never really been trained or experienced in food handling.

This place is not a restaurant, but more an ice cream stand with tuna and rice involved. Again think donut stand or maybe food truck, but with just one employee.

Poke is a fad. We love it, but it's clearly not a food inspired by passion, but by profit.

Considering it's raw fish, I'm not that comfortable with a tasty freez level of comptentence. Service quality this low I really don't trust with for that needs careful handling

I tried to make eye contact with the sole employee or speak with him. He would not engage with us.

There was no one else in the store. Except the women and me and my young kids. I politely tried to ask if we could come back later, again the employee wouldn't make eye contact and in fact one of the patrons suggest I take my kids and leave. Maybe this women are regulars and didn't want other customers around.

That seemed bizarrely aggressive and the employee did not care. I said thanks and good bye

Really strange place. A gang of women, one employee not making eye contact and raw seafood of dubious origin and handling.

I won't be trying a second visit

Okay this place I admit I was skeptical because a poke place in Burbank is a bit abnormal but wow I was impressed!!!! So fresh, SOOOO clean, lots of options, and the gentleman is so kind. Seriously I’ve been 2x and can’t wait to go back. Helps that I live close by so this is a great high protein option. Definitely get all the toppings. I feel that’s what really adds the flavor.

Wondering if it was just the preparer because both times I went I had the same dude. But my goodness I’ve never been skimped on proteins like that before. Based on these reviews it was just me I’m assuming 🤷🏾‍♂️. I won’t give it 1 star because I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t tasty but I had half a bowl of rice left by the time I was finished with the protein! Maybe will try again…

First time dining here. Bright and very well lit. Unlike other restaurants that have crumbs and food particles on the tables, this place has CLEAN tables AND floors. Ordering my bowl was made simple by staff who patiently allowed me to choose from their clear to see menu of their food selection. I ordered the medium bowl with half-n-half white rice and salad. Proteins were Ahi and double the salmon, crab masago scallions seaweed tofu wasabi aioli and all the toppings of furikake crisp onions n garlic sesame. I must admit..the fish is GOOOD. It's nice that the bowl is prepared (she put gloves on) in front of me to see, the measured portions serving of the fish was quite satiating at the end of my meal. If Poke Bowl is your craving...give this spot a shot! Definitely a solid YES for recommendation. Value is comparable to other Poke Bowl restaurants. I will try their other menu items on my next visit here in Burbank. Parking stalls or street parking are available.

I've got to address some not-so-great reviews first—frankly, I think they missed the mark. This spot's a family-run joint with top-notch service. They'd bend over backward to tweak an order if you just asked. But let's get to the real reason I'm here: my experiences at Poke Lulu. When I hit up a poke place, cleanliness is key for me, and this spot nails it. Fresh ingredients, tidy as can be. Plus, it's a cozy family place in a great spot with plenty of parking. My first visit? Absolutely stellar. I went for a bowl loaded with white rice, tuna, spicy tuna, salmon, and albacore, all doused in their amazing sauces and topped with crisp cucumbers, plus wasabi and ginger on the side. Unforgettable, seriously. And hey, there aren't many poke spots around Burbank, so having this gem nearby is super convenient for me.

Origianl Review:
If you wanna buy a bowl of rice with essentially no fish to fill up on heres the spot you wanna go to. Service is fine. I called and asked a few questions and they were great at answering. I ordered door dash. What a disappointing dinner.

I never like leaving bad reviews like super rarely will I ever do that but this was atrocious.

I'm showing the BOWL OF RICE I got the fish was at the top but it was a super thin layer of it. like it was not brimming with ANYTHING. It's a BOWL OF RICE. FOR 18 DOLLARS. I hope you get your moneys worth from this scam until you last or rename yourselves. How ATROCIOUS.

Edit 1 Date: 11/18:

Super fast response! I applaud you for trying to reach out by review to defend this bowl of rice.

I don't think the point that I was trying to make came across properly. Let me clarify that by saying that the rice to fish ratio is SO off because I'm paying for a BOWL OF RICE essentially. I hope my photo show how much rice you're getting with that nice small layer of fish on top of it. While it may be the most pristine rice available that can be offerred from any other poke place (let me reiterate again just in case the point is coming across well) that the ratio of it to the fish was so SAD you might as well just be selling me RICE.

Again, just call it a rice bowl.

Edit Date: 11/19

I'm so glad you updated the list the ingredients used. Let me repeat just in case: FOUR proteins (double ahi tuna and salmon), crab, edamame, seaweed salad, furikake, masago, crispy onions, and garlic).

Now looking at that bowl and how much rice there is compared to how much should have been given for the rest of the ingredients it is super suspicious that more than half the bowl is rice. That bowl is 3/4's rice is what I've been trying to showcase this whole time. It's not a misinterpreation of your bowls.

Like you've said before you checked the camera and the bowl came in pristine condition. There was no tampering of fish or anything like that. The store is likely in the cleanest condition since it's so new. Let me repeat my only grievance with this whole thing: the ratio of rice to fish given. It was MORE RICE than fish or anything. It was a bowl of rice I was given.

I'm going to repeat this just in case my point isn't getting across: this is more a rice bowl than an actual poke bowl. You can show the top part of any photo. You can show how pretty the bowl made from the top view but when you take those parts out this is how much rice you're getting versus how much fish.
