    You people here at this business really need to learn how to update your hours of operation. It's not that hard to indicate this on your website or Yelp if your facility is open or not. This is the second time that we drove here and the place is not open. Yelp says they're open but they don't even bother changing their hours or indicating this anywhere. They don't update anything, nor do they care. It's just bad business. We don't live in the area and commute 40 minutes just to get here. This place really needs to work on their communication. It really leaves a bad rep for your business. As loyal customers this problem needs to be fixed. We left messages on their phone, left messages on their Yelp and even texted their number. NO ONE EVEN REPLIED. Last time they said they had a "family emergency" but now I think an ongoing and recurring bs to make up excuses for their failure. BEWARE to customers--you'll end up wasting your time and money and efforts supporting the business if this persists.

    Overall 3.5/5 I really enjoyed the honey walnut "shrimp". My family's favorite was the bulgogi. Everything was quite decent. My only gripe is that the portions are a bit small for the price.

    The food was very tasty and flavorful. Their portion size will definitely fill you up. I love the vegan Mac salad! It's the best I've had so far. The Musubi was so flavorful. I think it has a Hawaiian sweet sauce that elevates the flavors. I do suggest less rice. I think too much rice takes away from the flavor. Overall, great food!

    Perfect texture and saltiness. The catsu is awesome and worth the drive to get. Couldn't say it more. Simplistic kitchen concept with a unique flare!

    this place has prob became a go to for us bc it's close, vegan, stays open late, and literally SOOO good like wtf..! it pretty much checks all the boxes. tried the breakfast french toast plate and the potatoes were the best breakfast potatoes i've had in forever. my only thing was that the eggs were very salty but nothing good ol ketchup couldn't fix because i'd def get this plate again. then weeks later, tried the beef bulgogi and fried catsu with curry plate. the absolute STAR was the macaroni salad omg pure mac salad perfection..i could've just ate a plate of that. the rice was the perfect texture and the catsu with the curry was crazy, even the curry poured over rice was a must. i wasn't a huge fan of the bulgogi because of the texture; it was like wet jerky imo but the flavor was there. i just hope this business never disappears! GO SUPPORT VEGAN KITCHENS!

    OH.MY.GOODNESS. I am from Hawaii and got so excited when I ran across Lucky Catsu. I can't find local-style vegan food like this at home, so I was shocked when I found it in LA! I tried the spam musubi and mochiko chicken plate...totally blown away by the flavor profiles and how spot-on it was compared to the "real thing". Broke da mouth for sure - mahalo!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

    The food from here is fresh and has amazing flavor! I always want to go back and try something new since it has always been so good. I always forget to take a picture since I just want to dig in. I have ordered from ubereats and have been in person once and the food is always out pretty quick. The staff are friendly and the area has a nice view while you wait.

    There are a plethora of vegan Asian/Polynesian staples, however, I can't really think of more than TWO places that offer specifically Hawaiian food! Diana has wonderful concept here! Bold flavors, big portions, & having customizable options. Her loco moco is outstanding & the very first thing I tried when she had a pop-up (that unfortunately closed). The gravy, the rice, the patties, the "egg", the mac salad... BOMB! The mac salad & lumpia together are a meal on that alone. Majority of their sauces are housemade! I love that! Their breakfast items are a repeat for me! The pancakes with ube drizzle keep me coming back. I love the staff here, like Destiny. Very friendly & lovely. They work hard! I have had majority of the menu... & I know there are more options to come. I personally am a very busy person, I don't mind ordering my food in person, over the phone, or online and going to pick up my food & being on my way.

    Lucky Catsu is now at a ghost kitchen located in the same building as Cena Vegan and All Vegan Franks. They are typically a pop up at Vegan Playground on Wednesday nights at Boomtown Brewery. I've been a fan of their food since their debut. I placed an order ahead of time on their website for their Island Fried Chicken Plate, Spam Macsubi, Catsu Moco Plate, and their Fries Box. When I arrived, I just happened to arrive at the same time as 5 other people so my order took like 5-10 minutes longer to come out but that's no problem. Staff were nice. I'm not sure what system they have but they want you to call or text when you arrive for your food. It's curbside pick up only. Catsu Moco Plate sauce came on the side. Food was delicious as usual. Next time I want to order the curry again. Her curry is bomb!

    Ask the Community - Lucky Catsu

    Is this one of those shared food kitchens that has 10 restaurants for pick-up only?

    I'm not sure of the exact setup, but the pick up location was a little confusing. There were a lot of signs for other restaurants, so it might be.

The location itself can be a little annoying because parking downtown is parking downtown, and the restroom situation isn't the most convenient, but the food makes it worth it for me. The ribeye is my favorite and what I keep coming back for. It's super tender, flavorful and the sauces they use make it different from just getting a regular steak plate somewhere else. I usually get it with the purple rice and egg, and I love the sides too, especially the potato salad and cucumber. The portions are also huge. I'm definitely not leaving hungry, and usually I have food left over. The owner has always been really kind whenever I've been there, which makes me want to support them even more. I've eaten here multiple times, brought other people and recommended it to so many people at this point. There are way too many restaurants in LA for me to repeatedly go back somewhere unless I really love it. This is one of them.

Also, I think that was the best pita bread I've ever had, period. We also tried the borekas, and they were perfect little bites to begin. We were celebrating my co-worker/mentee's birthday, and they brought her a yummy birthday dessert as well. And we split a great bottle of wine. Mazal is an unsuspecting beautiful experience. We found street parking but we couldn't find the actual restaurant because I just assumed the building was an apartment building. Once we finally walked through the door, inside is so lovely. I LOVE their bar countertop. We sat outside which has great vibes for summer. Cute lighting, all the works. I want to sincerely thank them for a wonderful birthday dinner for my friend. And for the superior service we received. Very warm and inviting. I can't hype up the service here enough. And we accidentally stayed significantly after closing without realizing it because we were tucked in a corner and lost in our conversation so we didn't even see the time, but we were never rushed out the door (to other diners - please do not be like us, I am so sorry we stayed so late without realizing the restaurant had closed, *yes there was another straggling table next to us who were still there as well so that's why we didn't realize the time*) again, so sorry, and thank you for being so accommodating still!
