Score
Across the available record, Lu-Lu's has 24 inspections on file, the first dated 2010. Inspectors last stopped by on Feb 21, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
Recent inspections have turned up roughly the same number of issues each time, hovering near three violations per visit.
Looking across the full record, “proper cooling methods used” is the recurring theme, flagged 11 times.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
