    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!

    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!
