Bites Nearby: The Original House Of Lu

Overview: Located behind the Strand Theater on the Marietta Square, The Original House of Lu’s family recipes have created a loyal following since 1995. Made with fresh coconut milk and lime, Coconut Shrimp is the signature dish- and for good reason. It is rich, creamy, made with lightly battered fresh jumbo shrimp and served on steamed broccoli. If you order it for lunch, it’s only $8.00 (half the price of the dinner menu) and comes with fried or steamed rice and a vegetable spring roll.

 Menu Suggestions: Appetizer suggestions are the Crab Rangoon - made with real crabmeat and the Salt and Pepper Calamari – hot and spicy.

 Most Chinese restaurants are not known for their desserts but House of Lu makes Chinese Donuts that are delectable. They also serve ice cream in six flavors: green tea, mango coconut, ginger, lychee and red bean.

Décor: More “fine dining” than Chinese take out. The restaurant is cozy, elegant and upscale.
