Lululala occupies a compact storefront with only a handful of tables and stools, and Welcome to Chinatown reports the space fills up and lines stretch longer once initial seating is taken, especially after a viral video sent the shop's $7 fried chicken bowl around social media (Welcome to Chinatown).
