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

Excellent food and service. I'm not vegan or vegetarian but I love this place I always get the prosperity platter and spring rolls and it always hits. read more

Excellent vegan food. Such a wide range of variety. Top notch. Extremely healthy and no sacrifice in flavor.

I'm utter disbelief that the food is not prepared as advertised on the menu. I ordered a massaged Kale salad that was served DRY AND RAW (not even dressing!) Then I ordered on a separate occasion steamed Kale, which also arrived DRY AND RAW! Like wtf?! Plus the food taste like card board with a little seasoning. Two thumbs down. Seriously disappointed. read more

Incredible flavors, great service in a super relaxing environment. All plant-based! These dishes are no joke. Ive been coming here a bit since its opened and have never been less than amazed. Very thoughtful combinations, tons of options, and awesome rethought classics. If you like asian cuisine and want to taste the future of food (no animals involved), then come check this place out. Staff has always treated me very well, timely, engaging. The brunch menu is a great way to sample a few options if your new to the menu. Definitely on my weekly list, full support to this place! read more

Trust me. Go here/order from as soon as possible! My friends and I ordered 7 items off the menu and every single dish was exceptional. The food was delivered with very nice presentation. I will eat here again! read more

Delicious! Four different dishes- all enjoyed very much. Good quality and presentation. Good service and ambiance.

This is my go-to place if I don't want to cook, but I want something relatively healthy (aside from a salad). I usually order their bowls for the most part, since they're full of tasty ingredients, such as multigrain rice. The summer rolls are bit bland, the hot and sour soup is too salty, and one time they gave me a bibimbap bowl with way less rice than I normally get (i.e. a few spoonfuls of rice). Generally though, this is a solid restaurant, and the majority of the staff are fantastic. read more

Delicious food, friendly staff, fast service, and warm ambiance. I ordered the pad thai which was noodles and medley of vegetables with tofu. It wasn't too spicy and had the right of flavors. My brother loved the pho he ordered; it was super flavorful not overly and perfect warm broth for the cold day. It's a good place for vegans and non-vegans, they will be impressed! read more

This spot was recommended to me by a friend and I'm definitely going back to explore the menu some more. I had my dog with me so just wanted to order to go. When I popped by at noon, their opening time, they said they were having some issues and needed 15 minutes. When I came back and they realized I was just ordering to go, they were like, "Oh! If we knew we could've helped you earlier". So, staff is friendly and helpful. I was feeling like I was getting a cold, so I just went for the pho, which was good, but a little bland to be honest. I think they could've included some typical pho sides like hoisin sauce, sriracha, bean sprouts, or jalapeños to really bring it to the next level. The noodles were a great texture, the tempe in the soup was extremely delicious. Mushrooms tasted like nothing, but they were still appreciated. I ended up adding some chili oil and sesame oil in mine when I got home to kick up the flavor a notch. Hopefully I can kick this cold soon and go back and go to town on their menu. When I do I'll update my review. Oh, this place is definitely great for small groups, and the inside is pretty cute and very clean and tidy too. Could be fun to start off there if you're going out on Franklin later in the evening. read more

Firstly, I must admit that the food was nothing to write home about. It was just ok...same base of soy protein for EVERY dish. I was very surprised when we received our bill of which we had to dine outside...we were charged a gratuity charge of $9.00, SMH.... what an opportunist, can you imagine if every table is charged this amount for outdoor service...We didn't request outdoor dining it was state mandated, so to use a hidden fee...UNFAIR, my husband complained about a cat urine smell in the backyard of which spoiled the evening... #Disgusted read more

The Bottom Line: The friendly attentive service is matched by the decor and food. Recommend coming here! Try: Red Curry Ramen Pineapple Fried Rice General Tsoy's Protein Orange Seitan Sweet and Sour Sesame Soy Black Pepper Seitan Chocolate and Peanut Butter Bundt Cake Pro: The flavors of the food are all quite varied and pronounced. The dishes are all different enough that there is definitely enough to explore. A few favorites were the ramen, which was great for those that enjoy spice, and the black pepper seitan. For desert, definitely try the bundt cake. The service was always great and personable; the staff grew to recognize regulars, and new comers were always given a kind introduction to the menu. Con: The food would sometimes be over-seasoned, as if to compensate for the notion that vegan food is bland. This would limit the amount I could eat, as it quickly became overwhelming... but I'd simply take the food to go in that case. read more

I am not vegan but I do enjoy vegan food. This place looked nice, the ambiance was pleasant and the music enhanced the pleasant atmosphere. However, the food and service desired more. My friend and I went there with the hopes of enjoying a drink and having a tasty bite. The menu did not look bad and had quite a lot of options. Initially, we ordered the peach gingertini(?) and it was bland and unpalatable. The mojito that we ordered was over muddled and tasted like mint spiked water. We also ordered the curry samosas which were delicious. The rice paper summer rolls (A) were light but unfortunately extremely bland. Our main dishes took forever to arrive at the table. The big miso noodle bowl and red curry ramen arrived lukewarm to the table and were also bland. The waitress realized that we did not like the drinks and stated haughtily "you don't like the drinks huh?". We stated no, to which she rolled her eyes and seemed quite peeved, but we requested to try the sangria with hopes that it would redeem the drink menu. The sangria was pale, under flavored, and tasted like grapefruit seltzer... with 1%grapefruit. To the end of this... interesting... evening, we requested the check. The waitress stated "you didn't enjoy the food huh?" and instead of offering SOMETHING that would somewhat help to redeem the place of this tragic time, she walked away. Almost 40 minutes later, we still sat there waiting for the check to arrive, while the waitress entertained two guys who JUST walked in and sat at the bar. After signaling another waitress, we waited even more for the check and the nasty drinks, that were barely touched before we ordered replacements, were still on it even though the waitress recognized that we did not enjoy them. Never again. I am not opposed to vegan food. I have had flavorful vegan food that was not over flavored, comestible and quite appetizing. However this place? Under no circumstances do I recommend this heinous place. read more

Really disappointed at the service (I am injured and can't walk, so have been ordering some more out instead of cooking) and the employee here did not understand that so the customer service is really lacking. I have been a loyal customer for a really long time so really disappointed with the experience tonight when I am injured. To top it off, had cash for the delivery person since I could not walk downstairs and got a rude text about tip and just seemed really rude given the circumstances (trying to give more cash off the app vs taxed from the app) and when since I live on a low floor it does not make sense at the way I was treated. Called the restaurant to explain since I order from here all the time and it was only with my recent knee injury I cannot walk, but I cannot imagine the way people are treated here if my simple injury was not warranted of a good experience. I treated this restaurant well throughout the whole pandemic, continuously ordering and supporting from it, so really unfortunate this had to happen. I thought this was just a bad night but now after explaining the situation to the person managing and the manager and the delivery person explaining that it is only because I am injured I am asking for a little extra help by the dropoff, it was just rudely dismissed all around. When I think of the ableism here, just really disappointed. Also thought that it would be that it is a one time thing that the staff is rude but looks like they are just rude overall looking at other reviews. read more

Luanne's Wild Ginger Franklin - Pan Asian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

So after having this bizarre dream about vacationing in Mexico, and going to a buffet on the resort where I saw baby elephant meat, half live bats, and owls. I took that as a sign that I should eliminate meat from my diet, also eating hamburgers twice a week can't be so good for you. Almost having zero vegan and healthy options near by really sucks. Luanne's came up on my delivery list a few times but today I said eff it! Let's place an order. This place isn't cheap I guess cause it's also kosher, but still what I got for 33 dollars wasn't fully worth it. The green tea cold noodles with peanut sauce was delicious. My son loved it, and the bonito flakes on top was really a nice salty treat. Unfortunately it fell short because they put lettuce on the bottom of the container I guess for volume control (I assume they make a batch for delivery, and a batch for the people who dine in?) 8.50 for something like this is kinda pushing it especially since I could've ordered a big serving of this from the Chinese spot for, 5 dollars. The BBQ Tempeh bowl only contained 3 very flavorful, crunchy pieces of tempeh. But the explosion of flavor was hard to beat, and there was a nice piece of pumpkin which I gave to my son. It filled me up, and I was able to put some away for later. My sparkling lemon gingerale was flat, I would've expected a bigger cup for 3.50 or at least send the can. If you have disposable income, and need a nice healthy meal order in. This was a nice treat, and my son was able to enjoy it too! read more

Everything was great tasting but a tad soggy after delivery. I'll have to dine-in one day soon, so everything is hot and crispy !!!

Just ordered delivery- food was abundant, fresh and as delicious as I remembered it being. So glad that they're back open!

I've come here a couple times and really like the ambience (dim lighting, chill R&B music playing in the background) and, of course, the food. It's pan-Asian and the offerings are substantial (especially if you're not huge on faux meats. I like that there are enough options so you don't feel like you HAVE to eat something with soy/seitan/tempeh if you don't want to). Dishes I've had and would recommend: -Samosas & Spring Roll -Scallion pancakes -General Tsoy's Soy Protein (the crunch and the flavor for this were surprisingly spot on. Glad I heeded previous Yelper's recs to try this.) -Kimchi fried rice (I snagged some from my bf's plate) -Malaysian Curry Stew -Fried oyster mushroom appetizer (Really good!) -Passionfruit lemonade The hostess is very nice and the food comes out quickly and in great portions. Definitely check it out. Street parking on/near Franklin Ave. is sometimes tough to come by--but not impossible, so don't let that deter you. read more

One of the BEST places in the city! Took my parents here who don't typically eat vegan or at vegan restaurants - it was their favorite place we've been to! Don't miss Scallion Pancake B, General T'soy, or the Orange Seitan! (Though, I'm not sure you can go wrong with ANY food or drink item - so far all incredible!) read more

The newest (I think?) of this small NYC chain of vegan chinese. I am always ALWAYS gonna rate five stars for a vegan place that my meat-eater boyfriend not just *minds* going, but *loves* going. We usually end up getting tummy aches, but only because we always order too much. If you're an omnivore, go for a soy protein chik'n, like the general t'soy's. You will not be disappointed. read more

This place is damn good I have to say. Especially as a meat eater. Very impressed with the taste of their bowls. The con: ridiculously overpriced. A salad alone will cost you $12. It's really unfortunate. Was hoping this place would be a healthy dinner grab on the way home. Wish they had a takeout special or something! read more

Even if you're not a vegan, the food here is delicious. It's in expensive, high quality and a nice ambiance. I got the pho noodle soup with udon noodles, and the broth tastes just as good if not better than a beef broth. It's light and not greasy but still very flavorful. The vegan meat in it is basil soy protein and it tastes like the kind from Whole Foods if you've ever had their vegan chicken nuggets. My friend got the general tsos and it is great if that's what you would normally get. We also got the mango rice paper rolls, they were good but mostly just mango and avocado. read more

I stopped in here for a quick bite after work. Little did I know, this is more of a sit down, intimate spot. Still, I had an amazing dinner alone. I got orange seitan and a passion fruit lemonade with a side of spring rolls. Everything was delicious. They have an extensive menu (food and drinks)... I'll be back, hopefully with a date lol. read more

Very quaint inviting space with soft jazz playing. A calming space. The aroma from the kitchen is wonderfully savory. The vegetables are cooked perfectly crisp. The sauce tastes fresh no nasty aftertaste. Sevice is friendly and fast. Nice place for a date, small groups and families, but children should be restrained from wondering around. I like this restaurant and will be back to try more of the menu. read more

Luannes is my go to vegan restaurant in the neighborhood. The food is delicious and savory. Although healthy, it will fill you up. It is a bit expensive for delivery but if you are looking for a dine in experience I would give 2 thumbs up! BBQ tempeh & seaweed quinoa is a fav of mine read more

Pan-Asian at its worst. My "ramen" included what I believe was actually spaghetti. Absolutely avoid.

Growing up, my family dinner tended to be a carb, a vegetable, and meat. The idea of having a vegetarian meal was foreign. As a result, I still want meat in a meal. Luanne's satisfies that craving for heartiness and umami and the simulation of pork, chicken, and other staple proteins while offering a meat-free alternative. Not only that, but it doesn't set off my "this-is-tofu-what-is-this-bs" sensor. This place is extraordinarily tasty. I particularly like the Seitan Spare Ribs and the Malaysian Curry Comfort Stew. When I'm feeling under the weather, that has become my goto comfort food. read more

I've only had delivery but I'm finding myself obsessed with this! The delivery is super quick and the food delicious!! I have the pho every time and I'm always happy with it. Furthermore, there's enough food to last for two meals. read more

Absolutely delicious! A lovely little oasis for oasis to relax and feed you tummy and spirit!

The food is sooooo good!!!! Now I'm craving it daily. So happy they move to the neighborhood.

This place is incredible! It's my favorite vegan/health food spot in the entire Crown Heights area. The food is always amazing and the ambiance is wonderful at any time of the day. The lunch specials (about $10) give you incredible bang for your buck. Even when I'm quite hungry, I can never finish the large portions. read more

My girlfriend and I are regular customers - it's our favorite in the neighborhood. Everything on the menu is delicious, but my personal favorite is the sweet and sour soy. Their soju cocktails are great too. It really showcases the versatility of vegan food read more

The different food I've ordered countless of visits seems to be over priced for the number ingredients/time it takes to make/ effort it looks like was put into it. I added the Broccoli this was $15 the sauce is just brown sauce. It has red/green peppers mushrooms, tofu and onions overall it taste like something I could of made at home and had a bigger portion left over. read more

Luanne's Wild Ginger Franklin - Yaki Stir Fry with Soba/Udon - Pan Asian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

We ordered take out, where I got Pad Thai and my partner got the teriyaki seitan, and we both got green tea cheese cake. We are both long time vegetarians so our taste buds are accustomed to typical vegetarian fare. That being said, my Pad Thai noodles were too soft and the flavors were off. As for the teriyaki seitan, the seitan itself was fine but the teriyaki sauce did not taste like teriyaki with little flavor. The miso soup that came with the teriyaki seitan did not taste like miso and was inedible. The green tea cheese cake was grainy and did not taste good either. We would not recommend this restaurant. read more
