I'm no stranger to Luann's -- I went a few NYC visits ago, but I think it was another location. Funny enough, the setup is almost exactly the same. It was freezing outside, and because of our party size we wanted to be as far from the door as possible (it closes really slowly), but only the front could hold us. I tried to have menu items I didn't have before, so I got their pumpkin soup and jap chae. Pumpkin soup was honestly enough on its own, and so refreshing! It was flavorful and warmed me up inside. The jap chae was soooo delicious. I had to cheat and use a fork though... the noodles clumped together and were just heavy overall haha. But that was tasty too! I was very close to trying their pineapple ginger sake, but opted for next time. I didn't order it myself, but my niece got these nuggets that came with this... fantastic sauce. There's another NYC restaurant that makes nearly identical looking nuggets... but both the nuggets and the sauce here were... WAY better. I was honestly blown away and could eat a tray of those. I'd recommend this spot to anyone who's looking for yummy veggie options. But I wouldn't suggest a party larger than 6 to dine in. read more

So they have a Luanne's on Franklin! Yes exclamation point bc you know what I was sick and the last time I was sick I had this and was like ain't no way when I looked it up on the map. There's no way I came here bc I remember it being in Dekalb but I went anyway and it looks the EXACT same and I was surprised. The young man waiting on me confirmed they had multiple locations there was a young woman behind the bar assisting. The felt like they were a little annoyed that folks kept saying wait you have multiple locations on the walk in- or maybe they were not as chipper one would have hoped on a quite Saturday afternoon when I was under the weather but I really like Luanne's. The soup was too hot and I was unaware so I burned the crap out of my mouth and enjoying the food became difficult. The pumpkin soup was just as I had remembered and this time I tried some BOMB edamame potato fried dumplings that really just were so special. I stuck to water and ate quietly by the window until my sister pulled up with her 3 year old in a cab that parked right outside. The interior was absolutely as beautiful as the other location the red leather gives it what I said was a jazz vibe last time but what I would consider a Brooklyn touch. My meal was $16. Can't beat that read more

Great food, large portions. Attentive staff. I had the pineapple fried rice, delicious. Appetizers on point. Only issue was our party of seven had to be seated by front door. It was a cold night and when the door opened, it was "invigorating". Other than that, you need to give it a try. read more

Oh my word!!!! LuAnne's! Where have you been all my life? (considering the fact I don't even live in NYC... but that's beside the point) LOL! The food here is ah-maze-zing!! For real! Come see for yourself *Ariel Fitz* First of all when you walk on the atmosphere is quite welcoming and you're greeted with polite, cheerful people. The menu items/descriptions alone are appetizing. I had the pan-fried Dumplings, LuAnne's Mix salad and Pineapple Fried Rice. Lemme tell you, these portions are HUGE!! And although everything was so delicious I couldn't eat it all, but that didn't stop me from ordering something extra to go. (wink) #greedymuch? They're definitely a new addition to my "fav" list. For sure...I'll be back *Terminator* read more

Had some great noodles at Luanne's. I'm a big fan of their meat substitutes and their service was super fast and easy. The menu gives you lots to choose from and everything is vegan! They have a cute backyard area that's great when the weather is warmer. They're a solid dinner choice and they do a lot of takeout so there is after space inside for seating anytime. read more

With one word I describe the food delicious. This restaurant is great, unique, and different. My friend and I had the Prosperity Platter. His was steamed and mine was sauted. We split an order of kimchi. Portion size was good. We ended up stuffed with great food. The menu is big and diverse and will accommodate even picky eaters. Service was good. Ambiance was relaxing, calm, and quiet. The restroom was clean. This vegan restaurant is certified kosher by IKC certification on the front window. Now go there and have some great food. read more

Came here last Monday on a date around 6:20pm. Backyard was closed so we opted for a table by the open window. The service here is really terrific, they are on it without being overbearing. Ordered my usual crispy soy, great but I do miss the old dipping sauce they used to pair it with. Got the mango lassi for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it! My date got the pad Thai and an iced tea. Pad Thai was absolutely massive so she took most of it to go. A wonderful, kosher, vegan, pan Asian cuisine spot! read more

If like me you are not vegan but like vegan food once in a while as a healthy meal, this place is good. I can't talk for the authenticity of the Asian food here, but as far as flavor, this is pretty good for a vegan meal. I also like that there are option that will satisfy my kid, who unfortunately is a picky eater, such as crispy soy protein nuggets, which are actually delicious. The salt and pepper king oyster mushrooms, the tempura, and the scallion pancake with hoisin sauce and mango salsa are also great, tasty choices if you want dishes to share. Other dishes I would recommend are the bo bun noodle salad, the bibim bap, the jap che, the black bean sizzling soy cutlet platter, the sweet and sour sesame soy, the eggplant with garlic and basil (really delicious!), and the big miso noodle bowl. In fact, I don't think I've tried a dish I didn't like here. Prices are reasonable for this neighborhood, with main courses priced at around $15. I also like their drinks including kombucha, mango lassi, and lychee mojito, all very reasonably priced. They have a lovely patio in the back, service is usually fast, and the atmosphere is calm and relaxing. What's not to like? read more

While this is a chain, it feels like a family shop. I love coming here because the main lady (manager) is so nice and it feels like a local vegan spot. The go-to winter dish here has got to be the comfort curry! Give it a try even if you're not vegan! read more

All of the reviews are true... This restaurant is Fantastic! The staff demonstrated respect while staying alert to requirements. It's a decent option for easy dinners or eating by yourself. This restaurant balances good flavor, reasonable prices and friendly staff. Just visit once - you'll know you need to return. read more

Nice lunch specials. Cozy place. Attentive and fast service. Didn't realize it had only vegan options. Had the pad Thai which was really very good and full of spicy flavor! The black pepper szechan was disappointing in flavor and can't recommend. Homemade Sangria was good as well. read more

Honestly all of my vegetarian friends bring me here and everyone loves it and has a good time so I will give this an extra star for my friends mainly who come here and rave about it. On my end I actually eat meat so I don't have a really great thing to say about most of the food here because I am not in love with it, not because it's vegetarian but mostly because their food lacks asian flavor. As an Asian person I understand the authenticity of these kind of places as lacking and I think I asked one of the people working there if they had fish sauce and they shrugged it off and had no idea what I was talking about. I know that there are vegetarian fish sauce out there and for my vermicelli bowl I would like vegetarian fish sauce instead of sweet and sour sauce. The "curry ramen" had good flavor but didn't have ramen noodle but had another kind of noodle so for me that didn't make sense. The flavors of most of the dishes here are fusion and not where you go to eat authentic Asian food. They also take a really long time to make the orders and also give your meals separately so while my meal was getting cold I wanted my friends to have their meals too but it took way too long. I would hope for them to improve the management with the time making the meals to make sure we all have a meal at the same time... I don't know if that's basic restaurant quality or if I'm expecting too much but these are my thoughts. I would recommend Spicy Moon for my fellow vegetarians over this place. read more

Nothing to write home about in my opinion. Service could've been much better. Came on a Thursday evening with very few people seated on the patio (where we were), and no one inside but still felt as if we weren't attended to. Everything seemed rushed. They were doing construction on a bench behind us while we were eating our appetizers (???), and didn't pay any mind to us after we ordered our entrees. The food was alright. Not sure I'd be back. read more

Luanne's has a ton of great looking vegan options to choose from including ramen, Pad Thai, and Mango Lassi. I ordered the red curry ramen and steamed veggie dumplings, all great but I would probably order something else next time. My dumplings dried out slightly but the sauce paired with it was super flavorful and the filling was delicious. The red curry ramen broth was also very flavorful and the ramen itself had great toppings like seitan, bokchoy, bamboo shoots, pickled radish, and mushrooms. I wasn't a fan of the noodle type but overall a really comforting bowl that wasn't packed with animal broth or tons of chili oil. For a healthy option, and completely vegan I'd want to try their other choices. read more

Came here after searching for some kind of broth or soup to satisfy a quick craving. Sat down with a friend and we both ordered the Hot & Sour soup. It was choc full of 2-3 different types of mushrooms and it tasted pretty average. Service was slow, wasn't given a napkin and overall was kind of dead inside (I'm sure most places are equally slow on a Monday night). Overall average experience. I would definitely come back because I have two friends that love the food so I'm definitely down to try an entree or two next time :-) read more

It's been a while since I've had some vegan goodness so when my friends invited me to go check out Wild Ginger on Franklin I was more than happy to check it out (that they have the option for a large outdoor seating area in their backyard was definitely the key selling point). So glad I did it, cause everything I ate was so fresh and lovely. I've been DYING for korean food all pandemic so when I saw they had a house bibimbap option I knew it had to happen. Glad I did, great cold dish on a hot day -- loved the purple rice and the really excellent seitan! We split a coconut matcha cheesecake which was pretty dynamite and I also got myself a house made ginger ale which was lovely. Can't wait to come back and eat everything else... Made me miss the heyday of vegan pan-Asian dining in West Village not so long ago... everybody please preserve Wild Ginger forever. The county needs this in order to heal. Thank you. read more

Cute restaurant, quick service and so many options! I had tempura a noodle dish and a rice dish and all were delicious

The best vegan / vegetarian restaurant I've tried in a long time. For someone who is neither vegan or vegetarian but enjoys the food I can tell you it truly compares to meat versions. All the flavors were unique and savory. The combinations of ingredients was chosen BETTER than Asian restaurants with meat. The cold noodle was my favorite since it had a green tea noodle that was thin yet flavorful. Close second was the fried orange seitan, where the layers of flavor were changing while eating. It was really quite unique. I enjoyed my dine in experience and the service, so I will definitely return. All my photos I recommend as entrees ! Enjoy !! read more

I have been to the Boerum Hill location several times and always enjoyed the food (all vegan, many gluten-free options), so when my roommate and I decided to order delivery for Thanksgiving (we were both unable to cook this year and couldn't go out), we were thrilled to find that this location closer to us was open and doing deliveries. The lady who took my call and took our order was very nice and was super helpful in adjusting a couple of our dishes to make them gluten-free. The Malaysian Curry Comfort Stew and the Jap Chae were made with tofu instead of the soy medallions to make it gluten-free. We also got the Miso Grilled Eggplant, and she got the Samosas (which I couldn't eat because of the gluten). All of it was very good, filling, and very tasty. The eggplant was quite salty to me (not so much to my roommate), but eating it with the rice that came with the curry made it better. The Boerum Hill location has a separate gluten-free menu that you can ask for on request - I just wish they could have a gluten-free menu their website as well, to make online or phone ordering easier without having to ask the employee on the phone if each thing is or can be made gluten-free. I'm definitely going to have to go to the actual location now that I know it's pretty close to our apartment. read more

I absolutely love all of the Wild Ginger restaurants. I finally tried this location last month for a birthday dinner. I absolutely love variety in the menu. They have options for those who do not prefer heavy soy products. We started with pan friend & steamed vegetable dumplings, fried king mushrooms, and pot of Jasmine tea. I ordered the Yaki Stir fry with udon noodles. It was delicious and up to standard of the other locations. Decent sized portions too. If going with a group, I recommend ordering different items and sharing! --The staff was attentive and friendly. They even assisted in signing happy birthday. Will definitely be going back! read more

On a particularly busy night for restaurants in that street, we came upon Luanne's. We had to wait about 20 minutes for a table though and the wait staff looked rushed. But the food was good and brought to our table quickly. We got the Kimchee Yaki Udon, the Pineapple Fried Rice, and the General Tsoy's--the Pineapple Fried Rice was the best out of the three, in my opinion. Will be back for another experience of Asian fusion vegan cuisine. read more

I have only done pickup here, but I did enjoy my Bi-Bimbap and bowl. It was packed with healthy goods food with various colors.

I have a new addiction. This restaurant. How you can even get in without a line of faithful already standing outside is beyond me. I *literally* dreamed about the hot and sour soup last night after having it for dinner. So I had to eat it for lunch again. It's really that good. Imagine the best rom com you ever saw crossed with a sexy wine. That is this soup. The sizzling dish left me speechless. (And my friends will tell you this is an impossible feat.) I had the moo shu for lunch the next day. Again, world's happiest taste buds. This makes me want to win the lottery and hire these people to cook for me full time. And the ambiance is so easy and chill, which is a nice change from usual city hustle. If cocktails are your thing, the sake shakes will make you say yes to zen happiness. Just go. Like seriously. Drop everything and let your taste buds have a spa day. read more

Have been wanting to come here for a while, and SO glad that I did. The food is delicious, healthy, and satisfying - you'll leave satiated but not stuffed. Highly recommend the matcha coconut cheesecake! Also - the service is wonderful, you can see that they care about their customers and are taking precautions. As someone who has been hesitant about indoor dining, I was very pleased with the experience tonight. I felt comfortable and content with everything! Please support this restaurant (they also do delivery and have a few other locations)! read more

the green tea cheesecake is made with cashews and gave one of us an allergic reaction that had her throwing up in the bathroom for 20minutes. we said to the waitress at the start of our meal that we had a cashew allergy but she still recommended the cheesecake dish. and afterwards they charged 20% gratuity and refused to remove it. customer service needs to be tightened up here. we could have ended up in an ambulance or worse. read more

Tasty but pricy. I've been to the location on Smith street and was happy to see one closer to my hood, so I stopped by. I ordered the general tso and spring rolls for apps. Both were tasty. The spring rolls were a bit greasy but good. General tso was good and the broccoli steamed just right, but again pricy for a modest plate of effortless food--I blame astronomical rent. read more
