lulubowls (Hawaiian-Inspired Bowls- Columbus) — Restaurant in Columbus

I have good things to say and I have bad things to say.

I'll start with the good things. I love the fact that they are a vegan friendly place that's open late at night. I love the flavors and I think the sauces are stunning. I usually get the cauliflower wings and when they are done right there absolutely amazing. I can say I've spent well over a good chunk of money here. I'm always the one asking for extra sauce.

However

I would have given this a five-star If it weren't for the fact that if you order anywhere near within an hour of when they are going to close they 100% give you 50% effort if you're lucky.

Anytime I have ordered my food later in the night. Closer to their closing time not only do they give me food that is poorly done. They then proceed to give me a much smaller portion compared to if I order earlier in the day. And I don't think that's fair at all.

So in that situation you're better off just ordering for somewhere else. I feel bad for people who are completely vegan because they don't really have any other options.

But in my situation I will absolutely in the future just get something from somewhere else even if it's not necessarily vegan if it's later in the night because of the dropping...

This was my first experience not only with Lulubowls but also with gluten free meals. And I must say my expectations were not high but I still somehow was let down. I ordered the cauliflower wings and a custom bowl with brown rice and spicy chicken. The chicken seemed as if it was boiled and if the sauce had any flavor at all it certainly was not spicy. The cauliflower wings were surprisingly good for the first five bites but the teriyaki flavor left a very undesirable after taste. I almost got to the point of scheduling a covid test because I thought I lost my sense of taste. Lastly the avocado mac was down right terrible. Again I don't know if this is directly on lulubowls or gluten free meals in general but would not recommend this...

Saw this place on UberEats and decided to give it a try. We’re vegan/vegetarian, so we were excited about the vegan options. I’m surprised to see all of the negative reviews. We had a great experience! We ordered the sweet potato wedges and the Hawaiian meatball bowl (impossible meat). The food/flavor profile was delicious, and I thought the portion size was generous. Everything was well cooked. I do wish there was a little more sauce, but not a big deal. I’d definitely order again.

Update: We ordered a second time and food was significantly different/less tasty....
