We had a great book club meet up tonight at Lucky AF! Our group was seated immediately and our waitress was great! The food was so fresh & yummy and the noise level was low enough that we could have our book discussion without having to shout. Parking in the Scott's Addition area can be tricky sometimes, but we all found nearby parking with no issues. Fun night out!

Chef Hai's Filet Pho
Mai K.

Service was excellent. Food can be better. If you're looking for authentic food, this might not be the place. It's a fusion of Japanese and Vietnamese food. Pho broth was steaming hot. Beef slices were a bit thick. No tripe or meatballs. It's a simple pho. Husband and I enjoyed the sushi. The food that we ate caused us extra times in the toilet but that depends on your age and tolerance of food variety. Other than that, the ambiance is great. Great to bring a coworker, friend, or significant other.

Bougie AF roll

PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great service, Christina was an amazing bartender. My wife and I decided to do a day date, and wanted some good sushi. EVERYTHING was GREAT! The freaking lobster dumpling was unreal! Needed to be served with bread. I will be back soon, we were full and looking at what to get next time. They were extremely accommodating, which isn't always an easy thing when it comes to changing sushi rolls. I'm allergic to fin fish, and can only eat shellfish and they were able to make each roll without the fish. I honestly want to go back this week hahaha

Lobster Dumplings

This is the best sushi in Richmond! I'm visiting for a few months and had sushi elsewhere and didn't think it was bad until I tried this place. The sushi/fish quality here puts the other establishments to SHAME!!! If you want sushi in Richmond this is the place to get it, all the servers were lovely and the establishment clean with nice bathrooms and they have an outdoor and indoor seating area. Outdoor does have heaters. 10/10 recommend, and can't wait to come back

The Aquaman*
Sarah D.

Cute, I liked the option for the sauce to be on the side but also that wasn't conveyed so I was spending some time wondering why the crunch was separate from the roll like a dummy. Ordered the Aquaman, my friend is plant based and loved the menu! Richmond Asian cuisine can be a tad underwhelming coming from NoVa but this was good and I will be back.

Sat out on the back patio, it was very nice! Great service, had 4 rolls and sake, very good! Had the Fat Dragon, Green Lantern, Harley Quinn, and Blue Monday. Will be back, best rolls in the area!

Tried going here abt a year ago and didn't wanna wait the 1 hr long wait. So I recently went and snagged a seat for lunch and absolutely loved the visit ! Food was yummy, service was great. I loved the interior design too it was lovely. Only downside was the fact that I broke a bracelet right in the middle of my lunch and it went everywhere... but the servers were lovely enough to help pick up the beads ! Def gonna be a repeat visitor !

tuna poke bowl

Best poke style bowl in Richmond! Huge portion & loved all the different combo options. service was great even on a busy sunday afternoon. have mostly done take out, but will definitely be dining in again soon!

Blueberry Lemonade, yummy!
Michele F.

Friends and I stopped in last night for dinner. This was our first visit to this restaurant. The hardest part about this place is finding parking, especially on a Friday night. We got a table in the back room and were immediately greeted by our server. We opted pork gyoza and the crab ball special as appetizers and my friend and I split a shrimp tempura roll, a Philly roll, and a Lucky AF roll, while her husband got a teriyaki beef plate. I really liked everything I tried. We ate it so fast that I didn't get any pictures! We also enjoyed several drinks from the bar (my favorite was the blueberry lemonade). I can see why this place is so popular and I'll definitely be back.

The New Fashioned
Taylor B.

Stop by here on a whim and man it was so worth it! Great atmosphere from the moment you walk in. I sat at the bar and Christina took care of me. She was Knowledgeable and fun. I started with a new fashioned the Spicy Kani salad. This was so good and had a great spicy to it. They have fun names for their sushi rolls. I had the Wonder Woman and it was so fresh. When I come back up to Richmond I will come back here no questions asked.

Vegan veg gyoza $7.50
Mitasha P.

Grilled miso calamari ($14.90) was good. They tried to spell "Lucky" with sriracha, but it kind of made the plating a little messy. Vegetable gyoza ($7.50) was seared well - had a crispy exterior and a soft, savory vegetable filling. They were quite busy, but we were able to get seating in their outdoor courtyard, which was decorated with East Asian vibes. Sapporo beer was $7 and their margarita was $8. Reasonable prices. Service was excellent. Our server was able to recommend other places to check out in the area.

The sushi rolls are FANTASTIC!!! Presentation is on point and service is great. Prices are very reasonable for this amazing quality.

Toro nigiri
Phoebe H.

Perfect for a quick lunch. It wasn't too busy when we arrived around 1:45pm. Ordered a toro nigiri as it was on the special menu - the pieces were larger than expected which was nice. Also got the Lunch Maki #1 - so yummy. We added a side of spicy aioli and eel sauce for dipping the pieces.

Does Lucky AF have a wheelchair accessible entrance?

I don't believe so, unless you can come in through the back patio area.

Do you guys accept reservations? Also, do you guys do special things for the birthday guest?

We take reservations for parties six and larger. Everything else is walk-in. You are allowed to get on the waitlist and go explore Scott’s addition and all the breweries while you wait. We will notify you via text. We absolutely offer a…

Parking is available on the side, or you can usually find street parking nearby. I really liked the industrial atmosphere, especially the swings, but we ended up sitting closer to the bar area. Our server was super nice, and the service was quick throughout the meal. FOOD REVIEW Sabai Platter - 3/5 Not bad for shareable during happy hour, but some of the items were just okay. Pad Thai - 4/5 The flavors and spice level were balanced really well. Pla Muk Tod (Calamari) - 4/5 Good overall, but I wasn't a big fan of the dipping sauce. Pik Gai Tod (Wings) - 4/5 Flavorful and really good. Moo Sam Chan (Fried Pork Belly) - 4/5 Tasty and flavorful, though a little over-sauced for my preference. DRINK REVIEW Thai Tea - 5/5 Refreshing and enjoyable. Thai Mojito - 5/5 Really good and refreshing as well. Overall, good food, great drinks, and friendly service.

We had to chase down waiters to order anything, everything didn't come out the same time, and zero hospitality. Fast forward now to last week. A group of 9 of us come in for our wedding weekend and they thought we had 8 people not 9. They try to seat us on the swinging seats which can't even fit our 8 people. NOT ONCE did they try to help us, move us, offer to do ANYTHING. They literally stared at us not saying a word. We asked if we could have two tables, no. Have a stool to add, no. Wait for a larger table outside, no. Just absolutely the worst hospitality or lack there of I have ever had. This place has had issues with staff for years. Unfortunately it's now costing them consistent customers as we are not the only ones this has happened to. We ended up leaving and going to another Thai restaurant. If you want to be ignored and stared at with dead fish eyes this is the place for you.
