A new Cajun restaurant is now open in The Heights.
Lulu’s Crab Boil, located at 5911 R Street in the former Haagen Dazs storefront across from Fantastic China, is the latest restaurant from Lulu Chi — yes, of that Chi family.
The Chis are well known for their Asian-inspired eateries around Little Rock including Chi’s, Sushi Cafe and Sekisui.
In this latest venture, the Chis are spicing things up a bit with Asian-Cajun cuisine.
A quick glance at the menu and it’s obvious why the fam went with name, Lulu’s Crab Boil.
In addition to offering gumbo and five different poboy sammies, there are four combination boils on the menu including the Lulu Bucket ($45), which is a heaping helping of snow crab clusters, clams, shrimp, crawfish, mussels, potatoes, corn and sausage. Definitely enough for a crowd.
Seafood dishes range from lobster and crawfish to Pacifc mussells and Manila clams — all served with your choice of four sauces including the Rajun Cajun, which is a mixture of cayenne and habanero peppers or Lulu’s Sauce, a combo of Asian chilis, radish, garlic and Sriracha. Customize your spice from Crybaby, the mild version, to Inferno, which is the hottest and the one that will likely require medical attention.

Lulu’s will also offer domestic and imported beer, wine and soft drinks.
The restaurant is open every day from 11 a.m.- 9 p.m. for lunch and dinner and will offer brunch from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on weekends.
The space seats roughly 40 to 50 patrons according to Chi.
