Great date spot or quieter place to meet friends. Between a group of four we split 7 rolls. The main standouts were the super hero rolls and the Amirah roll. They have plenty of options to choose from. We will be sure to come back and check out the patio! read more

We went here for our Anniversary dinner! I thought the food was delicious. Service was good, we had to wait for a table for about 30 min. The place is kinda small, wish they had more seats because it's pretty popular. I would check this place out again. read more

We went here yesterday on a Monday for lunch and they were pretty busy. It took a good five minutes for the hostess to seat us, along with 4 other groups. When we were finally seated, the waitress gave us water and took our order right away. My husband ordered the steak bento box and my cousin and I shared two rolls: Lucky AF and Harley Quinn rolls. The box was huge and had a considerable amount of food for a great lunch price. And the rolls were really good. I don't eat raw or spicy food but these rolls were perfect. Super tasty! We will definitely be back! read more

Cool place, my wife and I have been 2-3 times now. There is a roll on the menu for everyone and the quality of the fish used is pretty good and the plating is fantastic. There options for indoor and outdoor dining which is a plus, as we feel most comfortable eating in open air. I'd like them to improve beer options. It would be nice to have some better taps but it's the food that brings us out. We will be back! read more

Super tasty! Will definitely be back. From the minute you walk on the restaurant you get LA vibes (think NOBU in LA). Very laid back yet semi-upscale vibes. Customer service is amazing from all staff. Sushi was delicious (Harley Quinn) as well as the lamb chops ( slightly salty but tasty). The beef egg rolls were very filling and could be the meal by itself. Love the cocktails too! This is definitely a first date place or just a good place to get drinks with friends. read more

I recently moved to Richmond. I realized how little Asian food there is here. Specifically sushi. This restaurant has a unique edge to the Asian scene here in Richmond. Although it is really difficult to get a table and reservations are recommended but only taken for parties of five or more, it is definitely worth it. It is actually obviously not the best sushi I've had in my life but it's decent, feeling, creative and house inside a cute environmentWith great ambience. They have happy hour specials and I'll definitely try to make it next time for that instead I also really appreciate that all of their cocktails have superhero themed names. read more

Bravo!!! Don't hesitate. Andrew from Atlanta was our server, quick, fun, and on top of things. Sushi was all Excellent, and the atmosphere was super energetic. Will def be back!! Thank you. read more

The mural alone draws you in & the great happy hour .They have $5 rolls and happy hour is everyday. I would check the website for updates . When I went it started at 2:30 but it's seems like they changed it . Decor is nice and they do have a parking lot. Patio was booked but it seemed spacious . I had the Robin Roll and the Galaga Roll both were advertised as "spicy" but it was NOT spicy at all.My friend who cant do anything spicy was able to eat both rolls and agreed. I think the thai sweet chili sauce on the Galaga roll was overpowering . I will say, I enjoyed the mackerel nigiri and would come back just for that . I thought the names for all the rolls were creative and the menu had a good variety with some twist as well. If your looking for a sake bomb experience you will not get it here . The shot glasses are too big for the beer. We just pour our sake shot and mixed it with the beer . Which Is what it is essentially. Overall, I would come back for the happy hour and maybe try more of the menu. My only gripe is if your gonna say something is spicy then it should be spicy. read more

Consistency is everything. Each time I've visited this restaurant everything is so good. Received friendly service. Easy take out process. A little wait but food came out fresh. Worth the wait. Ordered the Lucky AF roll and cucumber salad. Finished it all. So good! read more

Delicious food. The portions are huge so make sure you come hungry or prepare to take half your meal home. I enjoyed the chicken katsu Japanese curry but I don't think it is a regular menu item. Service was a bit hectic but the food made up for it. read more

On the hunt for good sushi, and this was not it. Rice was cold and mushy, which was very disappointing. Rice is so important, even in a roll! Fish quality was decent, flavors were good, but unfortunately marred by the subpar quality of the rice. Miso calamari was good, but could use more miso flavor. I also ordered the tobiko sushi separately, and was given masago. This might not be a big deal to people who aren't particular about accuracy, but masago is not tobiko. You'd never get away with that in a major city. read more

Good spot for sushi. Service is typically pretty good. Sapporo on draft is a huge plus. I wouldn't say this is my favorite sushi spot but it's a good one. I think the sushi rolls are actually too big. read more

My first and there will be many more ventures was tonite to Lucky AF. For a Wednesday night it was quite busy and I soon learned just why after I took a seat at the bar. Service seated at the bar was quick and attentive which is a win win. I ordered fried pork dumplings and spicy tuna rolls from the happy hour menu. The dumplings were perfectly fried and the accompanying dipping sauce was fine. The spicy tuna rolls were zingy and lovely. I also ordered a Dragon Roll which was so artistically plated that made me feel sad about eating it. The eel was perfectly cooked and the jalapeño did not overpower the other ingredients. Simply said: harmony in one bite sized roll. Oddly I ended my meal with a bowl of miso soup it's only detraction is it needs to be served hot not lukewarm. The earthy saltiness of the seaweed and miso was a great closer to a great meal. So make haste to this fabulous place. I give it a 5 chopstick review!!! read more

Had a lunch meeting at Lucky AF and loved sitting on the patio out back on this beautiful day. This is the tuna poke bowl which is huge and packed with deliciousness. My companion had the salmon poke bowl and loved it. There are other tempting protein options and a choice of sauces. They also offer bento boxes that include a spring roll, miso soup and a choice of protein. It was hard to decide. The service was so friendly and helpful. Lunch which included this poke bowl and a bottled iced tea was $24 including tax and 30 percent gratuity. I can't wait to go back for dinner! read more

The positive reviews in addition to my daughter and niece raving about the sushi (tho I'm not a sushi eater, basic Cali roll from time to time but thats it) had me so ready to love this place. However, I didn't feel so lucky by the end of the night. Pretty popular spot by the looks of those waiting to get in, we were given an estimate of about 30 mins to sit outside, super nice out so why not? We arrive 7:20 ish and we're seated roughly 20 mins later. Super nice waitress came to great the table and bought out water (it was warm but I digress). She gave us a sec to look over the menu but we had to ask for the cocktail listing. She returned and my niece ordered wine, and after looking over the menu her dad ordered a beer and a shot of vodka and I order pork gyoza for the table. Per the receipt the tab was opened at 8:03p so that maybe why the drinks came pretty slow. Some time later the appetizer arrived. Nothing to write home about, the flavors were just ok and I must say they were oddly small and not seared on both sides so they were lukewarm at best. Another 15 minutes or so go by and the ginger salad and miso soup arrived, salad dressing bland bland and watery from the lettuce I presume. The soup again wasn't over the top. I mean y'all really amped me up with this one, lol. We noticed our time waiting after that grew longer and longer. My bro ordered another beer while we all chatted. When the salad and soup came out our waitress said our food would be out shortly. And then when she came back with his beer she said it was a a lot of sushi orders and she apologized for the continued wait. My niece ordered a bento box that come with sushi and my daughter just ordered two rolls. My bro and I ordered hot entrees. But we continued to wait patiently. She came back to check in while continually apologizing and said I'm discounting your tab for the wait and mentioned some issue in the kitchen causing the additional wait. We finally got out food at 9:17p. Looking at the plate I was excited until I took my first bite. The sesame chicken was great in portion but was served lukewarm and the sauce was super sweet. The actual chicken was not seasoned and chewy to be breast meat as advertised, decent rice. My bro's dish was supposed to arrive hot on a hot plate even and nope, lukewarm. My niece and daughter were satisfied with their meals except for the lukewarm sesame chicken, we both loved the bento box presentation, tho. The waitress did give us the employee's discount but I thought maybe a manager would come by and apologize. Disappointing that the price of everything is going up but quality is going down. I get that most places are short staffed or if the kitchen is running behind...let us know before we sit so we can decide if we'd like to dine vs knowing you're overwhelmed but take orders that are at a "slow rush" and it affects the quality of your product. I don't mind paying or waiting for an amazing food experience...maybe next time. read more

Got seated at the bar to the right of the entrance. A table would've been nicer and I wish they'd asked what we would've preferred but it was lunch so maybe they were busy. Favorite thing we got was the Volcano roll. We got some mock tails that were overly sweet IMO but added some water and they were fine. Definitely will be back again for more sushi and the pho beef spring rolls. read more

I have been there for dine-in and recently for take out. The Lucky in Love boat feed enough for three girls! Even though it was take out it still tasted very fresh after a 12 minute drive home. They were very kind in substituting some fish for us. The hostess and wait staff are very kind and welcoming. I had their Tuna steak w/ fried rice...I would say skip that...very rubbery and was DROWNING in oil. Definitely just stick with sushi. Their happy hour is amazing and well worth! read more

My best advice is if you are getting the Poke bowl, split it with someone....it's ginormous and only $16!!!! Really unique sushi menu! I can't remember the name of the roll we had but it was tempura shrimp with steak on top It was really busy when my friend and I came, although we weren't in too terrible of a rush. Food took forever BUT the manager was beyond accommodating. read more

We have patronized Lucky AF at least 5 times since January. The ambiance is nice but dark. But during our last outing there we found out first hand why it's so dark inside the restaurant. This place has a cockroach infestation. Really, not one, not two, not three, but four huge cockroaches running along the restroom wall from the kitchen. What was concerning is that the staff was not bothered by the pest appearance. The manager tried to down play them as water bugs, as if even that wasn't an issue for an restaurant. Needless to say this ruined our evening and management was not concerned. read more

If you love sushi you'll love Lucky AF! When you walk into the door the aroma of delicious food immediately hits you. There typically is some type of wait. My most recent visit had an hour long wait and I got there around 7 on a Friday night. They have an extensive menu of sushi selections. The bento boxes are huge and give the chance to try a variety of items on the menu. Personally my favorite item is the spicy edamame! Definitely give this place a shot you won't be disappointed. read more

This spot is open with limited capacity, but the sushi choices and hospitality is endless! I tried LUCKY AF for the first time on a Friday night with my aunt and cousins and we were not disappointed! The Pho Beef Spring rolls stole the show and are now one of my favorite things to eat! They are not your typical spring rolls and the flavors dance on your tongue the way pop rocks used to! The Beef spring rolls are made with filet mignon! Yes! I said, filet mignon that's so tender it melts in your mouth! It also has mozzarella cheese and that soft flaky outer spring roll crust. Yum! I ordered the shrimp tempura roll because I'm BASIC AF and I was not disappointed. The ladies I was with are more adventurous so they ordered the Lucky AF, Harely Quinn & Joker! Every roll was DELICIOUS! The wait staff and manager were extremely friendly and welcoming. For a moment in time it almost felt like we weren't in the middle of a pandemic got a moment! I will be back and I'm telling all of my friends! read more

We went for the first time to LuckyAF last week with friends and the service was great!!

Went here on a Saturday just before happy hour started. Got seat immediately. It wasn't too busy but definitely not slow. 2 apps and a sushi roll. Overall, standard sushi. Nothing exciting or hype worth. Cool atmosphere with good music. Will go back for the lunch bento box. Nothing to go out of the way for or wait hours for. But glad I got to try it. read more

Loved the ambience of this place! Service was great but it was hard to hear in there because it was sooo loud. It's a small restaurant/bar so try to get reservations if you can (parties of 6 or more only). The food was amazing! We had a large party and it still didn't take that long to get the food. Overall, a great experience! read more

I've been eyeing this place since I saw pictures online on Facebook posted by the owners. It's located in the heart of Scott's Addition and is just such a cute place. I was so excited to try it and it did not disappoint. They are taking great steps to being safe during COVID by seating people at a distance, doing paperless menus, masking, and providing hand sanitizer at every table. My friend and I came right at lunch/happy hour so we got to choose some rolls from the regular and specials menu. Everything looked so amazing that it was hard to narrow down what we wanted, and it was priced reasonably too. I decided on the Robin roll and some roll that starts with a G. They were both amazing, and if I wasn't full I would have ordered more. The sushi just kind of melts in your mouth and delivers so much flavor. Didn't try their drinks but I heard they're great too. There's street parking outside, and they do orders for pick up too. read more

This place was soooooo good. I ordered the Lucky AF roll which was my favorite and the boujie roll which I thought was okay. This place had a line starting before they opened at 5pm so you know this place was good. The service was amazing, I love they do happy hour for drinks and food every single day. The music is a little to loud because having a convo during a date was kinda hard without yelling. But the music was poppin that's for sure. I can't wait to go again. It's only been 24hrs and I'm ready for more lol read more

Lucky AF, more like Awesome AF! I am SO happy that we chose to head here. We were around the corner at another business, but wanted to grab some food before heading to The National. Walking in we were told that is was an hour wait. That wasn't going to work based on our schedule. The walk-up bar was full, BUT we got super lucky with seats at the sushi bar. I had a great time watching the rolls being made while guessing which roll it was. For dinner we ordered 2 rolls and an entree. IT.WAS.AMAZING. -- We ordered the Joker Roll, the Harley Quinn Roll, and Chef Hai's Filet Mignon Pho. The filet in the pho was outstanding. So tender, even in the hot broth. The serving size was HUGE. We shared the rolls and the pho and STILL had enough to take home for lunch the next day. My favorite of the two rolls was the Joker. The goat cheese left a very smooth taste in your mouth. The Harley Quinn wasn't bad, just not my taste. So happy that we found our new favorite spot in town. Great food with great service. read more

What a fun new spot in Scott's Addition! We loved our date night experience here cannot wait to return. Can't comment toooo much on the interior and decor as we were seated at the bar which was toward the front but from what we could see, it was beautifully done. Dark and moody, hip and sleek throughout. The sushi was fresh and flavorful, we got a wide assortment of rolls and a tuna nacho app. The flavor combos are so unique and well-thought out! And the fun names just add to the experience. What really impressed us was the service. Our sever was so kind and attentive, offering a fresh mask wrapped in a napkin when my husband accidentally dropped his, extra sauce for our leftover rolls we were taking home so it wouldn't be a sticky mess, and made sure we were comfortable all around. The attention to detail here goes a long way and was very appreciated by us. The only "negatives" would be that there was a staff member cleaning behind the sushi bar not wearing a mask. She was in close proximity of us and other staff as well as all the food and fish openly out nearby. This made us a little uneasy... Also the estimated wait when we arrived was 90 minutes - actually indicative of a good spot but just a heads up as they do not take reservations for small parties! We grabbed a beer across the street and they wound up calling us in 45 min. Minus the unmasked staff member, we felt safe and enjoyed our dinner. Looking forward to trying happy hour and their outdoor patio next time! read more

Lucky AF - Tuna Poke Bowls - Asian Fusion Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I've been wanting to try this place since they opened. All the Richmond foodie folk on other social media platforms seemed to love them. In many ways my inability to try them is my fault. My default "GO-TO," just happens to be Asian restaurants almost always, to the chagrin, and eye-rolling of my family. Not because they don't love Asian cuisines, but rather because that's almost always going to be my 1st choice. So on lazy days or evenings, the "let's eat out" ritual takes place. "What are you making for...?" "I don't feel like making anything." "Where do you want to go?" "I don't know. Anywhere, and no Asian." So I very cleverly scheduled a his and her pedicure at spot we love and I'll review as well, then a late lunch on Saturday around 2:45, at a place of my choosing. Deal? DEAL! I finally tried this Scott's Addition gem of a spot and we are glad we did! First off parking was very easy this particular early afternoon. The vibe and general layout of this place is cool. I love that their drafts this day were mostly awesome local breweries. My wife loved both of her Smoking Jacket cocktails. Their cocktail program seems to be legit with all the creative and delicious looking and sounding drinks on their menu, and that I saw pass by. In my opinion, their Pho Beef Spring Roll app is worth the trip on it's own. We thoroughly enjoyed everything about the flavor and how it was served. The lobster dumpling app was as delicious. For me CUSTOMER SERVICE and attitude go a LOOONNNGG way. The last 2 years saw some necessary adjustments to the public's understanding of restaurant's plight to staff their locations and deal with mandates/restrictions, that brought a negative impact to their service levels. Many food bloggers and writers have expressed a frustration with current continued unacceptable service standards in some places, from their purview. If Lucky AF's service and attitude is an indication, they never were impacted or got "the memo" to allow their attitude or service to customers to take a dip. OUTSTANDING SERVICE FROM EVERYONE!! NO one walked by us upon entering or leaving, that did not politely greet us. This is outstanding training and or hiring practices. Don't get me wrong. Look, we are all humans and thus, ALL have bad days and every service business makes mistakes. It's how you handle it that matters! We ordered up their Release the Kraken sushi roll. (Their Top 20 Rolls is something we now plan to work our way through!) The roll we ordered did not seem to contain Octopus. The Spaniard in me LOVES Pulpo in all it's forms and I order it anywhere that serves it. The roll arrived and was delicious, but seemed to be missing this. Our server said, officered, and did ALL the right things. We were offered a replacement, or some comp'd octopus sashimi. We were happy about that, as we were promptly served some amazing and generous octopus. To our surprise, when our check arrived, our roll was also discounted. They made repeat customers when we walked in with the polite and enthusiastic greetings, and solidified that with this. PLEASE do the right thing in an instance like this! Our bill for the drinks and what we ate was $68. I left a $14 tip on the card, plus $10 cash. The 35 %-ish that this is was worth it and I hope it encouraged them to continue serving people at this high level. Our post pedi, heavy appetizers visit will now lead to hopefully many subsequent visits and tour of the rest of their menu. read more

I like this spot, good, fresh food. I will say that it's absolutely BS that the Mocktails and the cocktails are the same price. Honestly makes me feel like the owners are taking advantage of the customer. Either that or it's proof that the markup on alcohol is absurd. Would come back for the food, would never order a drink here again because I'm stubborn. read more

First time at Lucky Asian Fusion, but definitely won't be our last. Stopped here on our way to a show and were lucky enough to get seats at the sushi bar. Our server made great recommendations. Ultimately, we ordered a Joker roll, Harley Quinn roll, and the filet mignon pho. Everything was good, but the Joker roll stood out as did the beef in the pho. Next time we will try the pho beef spring rolls. This meal was definitely a treat as was watching the sushi chefs work. Can't wait for our return visit. read more
