This is the best place in old town manassas. Manassas was in need of a nice upscale restaurant serving unique dishes and cocktails. Our service was great, she was very friendly and attentive. We tried the japchae, crab rangoon dip, bao buns, kimchi and bulgogi quesadilla and lettuce wraps. All were amazing and well executed. I love the spin they did on cocktails - such as a Vietnamese iced coffee martini, lychee martini etc read more

Lume Asian Fusion had excellent service and good flavors, but the value was mixed for dinner. We were seated promptly and attended to quickly, and our server, possibly Tracy, did a great job. The dining room felt clean and modern, with a nice table setup, a bar, soft lighting, and low music that made the evening enjoyable. My wife ordered the bulgogi ramen, and I had the salmon poke bowl. Both tasted good, but the portions were much smaller than expected for the $17 to $18 price range. I did notice afterward that these items are listed as "light fare," so smaller portions may be intentional. Still, for dinner, they felt closer to side-dish portions than a satisfying meal. The ramen noodles also had more of an instant-style texture, which did not match the fresh-made impression. Overall, great service and decent food, but I would order more carefully next time and not expect the light fare items to be full dinner portions. read more

Our chicken lettuce wraps were so delicious. Just the right amount of spice, crisp lettuce, and a generous portion. Our server was so sweet and provided such good service. I don't remember her name, but she was a young girl with glasses and really sweet. But the highlight was our Bulgogi steak and cheese wrap that we split. Yumo read more

Wow! Discovering Lume was one of the highlights of my year. This restaurant is exceptional and has hit a home run in my book from the food, service, and ambience. Staff was accommodating to my mango allergy and was able to sub out the mango in the Tuna Poke. I must admit that I was skeptical ordering the Kalbi Platter as I've only really have had kalbi at KBBQ restaurants though it didn't disappoint at all. The flavor was comparable to KBBQ joints and the side of kimchi was a nice addition. Espresso martinis are my favorite drink, so naturally I was so excited to try the Viet Tini Drip that I nearly finished it in one gulp. I'm not sure what we did to deserve an Alpine Crisp on the house as we weren't celebrating anything though appreciated the surprise beverage and kind gesture; it was refreshing and would order it again. While I rarely visit the same restaurant, I'm looking forward to visiting more in the upcoming year. I highly recommend Lume to anyone who has not yet visited. No complaints here. All of the items that we ordered below were 10/10! +Tuna Poke - sesame soy marinated tuna, over steamed rice topped with shredded nori, with seaweed salad, cucumber and pickled red onion +Kalbi Platter - Korean short ribs served with steamed rice, kimchi and a side salad with homemade house dressing +Belly Burger (not pictured) - Ground beef patty, topped with spicy pork belly, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, with blistered shishito pepper garnish +Alphine Crisp - Apricot, Limoncello, Vodka & Champagne with hints of cherry & ginger +Viet Tini Drip - Haku vodka, condensed milk, Vietnamese espresso +Lume Punch - Rum, Licor43, orgeat, bleu curacao, pineapple juice, boba pearls +Ube Brownie Sundae - triple chocolate brownie, topped with Ube ice cream, with whipped cream and chocolate sauce read more

It's a nice cozy place, quite and charming decor. Clean and inviting. The server is gentle spoken and sweet. I ordered a Tuna poke bowl extra spicy. It's okay for my taste . It's personally too rich for my taste but their ingredients are top notch. Fresh tuna,mango and avocado . For me personally is too much mayo too creamy . I cannot taste any spiciness that I crave if I add any sriracha it will make it too salty. But anything else was awesome. I will be back but will try different item. read more

Not good for large groups but they can push the little amount of tables they have together. Bar seating with TVs. Friendly and average time service. The food was prepared hot and fresh but the portions varied. The bulgogi steak and cheese wrap was tasty but very small. The kbbq wings were huge and piping hot and crispy. While the kalbi portion was good, the dish itself was mediocre without the nice charred flavor other places have. read more

They tout themselves as Asian fusion and they're definitely a weird mixture of different asian cuisines. None of them really authentic. They've got Korean, Vietnamese, Filipino, Japanese and everywhere else in East Asia. It was just okay, and maybe good for Manassas but for NoVa there are way better places than this one. If you want good Asian food (any), you can drive the extra 15-20mins to Centerville. There were 5 of us and each of us got different dishes. I got the spicy pork belly ramen, it was quite salty and oily. Others got the bulgogi fries, lettuce wraps, pork belly platter and jap chae. All of them were a little too salty for our liking. They're not very crowded and can accommodate large groups and small, with a bar on the side. Service was nice and people were great. The 2 stars are for the people working. One for the food for being edible. read more

We went to this after our original choice was closed. Didn't disappoint at all.Cozy vibes and great Asian fusion meals. Price is reasonable and portion is just right. The rice bowl w bulgogi was great. Service is warm and friendly. read more

Hope was not only the best server but also an amazing person herself. Please go see Hope in Lyme. She should be the CEO because of her presence, unique personality, the best attitude ever, and she made sure me and my wife, friends g have everything in timely manner.

Our first time to old time Manassas and we dropped in for a cocktail and appetizer. The interior is very beautifully decorated. I'm not a big cocktail drinker but decided to venture outside my comfort zone and so glad I did. The Vietnamese inspired espresso martini with condensed milk was to die for. Hubby had the Roku gin cooler; cucumber, mint and apple juice inspired, delicious. We ordered the spring roll and fried tofu appetizers. The tofu was crispy and flavorful on the outside, surprisingly light yet flavorful. Everything came out piping hot, which is a pet peeve of mine; don't serve me luke warm or reheated food. Very fresh. Ashton was a great host sharing her recommendations and future expectations. We can't wait to come back with friends for a full dinner. read more

Cool atmosphere, Great service, Even on the night we went which was First Friday in Old Town so it was packed and our food still came out fast and was prepared well. My only real complaint is everything was slightly on the pricier side, but that is just an unfortunate sign of the times. read more

What a cute new restaurant! Located on the corner where Okras used to be, this place looks totally different and brings in a fresh, vibrant vibe to old town. Aside from the gorgeous decor, high ceilings, and lovely choice of glassware, the drinks and food were delicious. Drinks - I could have ordered every single cocktail. I loved the viet drip tini. If you're a lychee lover, get their martini. It was sweet and the lychee garnish topped it for me. I had to get the mango green tea - the popping passion fruit pearls were so yummy and it was a great balance of mango with green tea. My husband really enjoyed the Kaiju as there were many layers of flavor, as well as the red dragon. Also all the bartenders were really sweet and attentive. Food - the dishes really brought out a blend of Asian fusion flavors. We started with the bao buns with pork belly and I thought it had a subtle Korean flavor. We also got the spring rolls which were really good. I enjoyed the poke burrito, which had a generous amount of delicious sesame soy tuna. The salad dressing was an elevated ginger flavor, similar to what you'd have at a sushi restaurant. My husband doesn't usually choose poke bowls but the salmon was calling him. We've come back a few times and have gotten burger, sliders, and gyoza, which were all delicious. Will definitely be back! read more

Despite being short staffed and having to send my entree back because the chicken wasn't cooked through, this place is great. Most people would be dissuaded from returning but I'm looking forward to next time I visit. Here's why: Lume is located on a corner and the decor is super cute and gives modern vibes. We were told it was a 30 minute wait on a Sunday around 1pm but then realized we could sit at the bar and order food from there (the bar is first come, first served). There was one bartender and she quickly acknowledged us and got us drinks. The menu has lots to offer, so for an appetizer we had the K-Wings, which are 7 Korean (double fried) wings with gochujang sauce. They were excellent, 10/10. Highly recommend. It's good we got an app because the kitchen was really backed up and our food took a while to come out. I ordered japchae, a Korean noodle dish, with chicken and my companion had the bulgogi rice bowl. Both entrees came out at the same time but I, unfortunately, had to send mine back because the chicken wasn't cooked through. I let our bartender know and she immediately informed the manager, who profusely apologized. I had a new entree five minutes later. The japchae had a good taste and plenty of veggies, though they were a little crunchy. The bulgogi rice bowl was colorful, had lots of fixings, and was full of flavor. Overall, we had a great experience and staff was friendly. Kudos to them for keeping up. The restaurant was clearly understaffed and I think it was busier than normal due to a nearby street festival. I hope to visit again soon! Definitely give them a try. read more

The place is gorgeous, the food is delicious and the staff is fabulous! You can't go wrong and I'm thrilled Lume is now part of downtown Manassas!!! The drinks are delicious! The Kaiju is also really pretty. I love the unique food options and appropriate portions. I love the kalbi! The flavors are awesome!! I really like the staff...they're really friendly and make you feel welcome. You can come in and get on the waitlist since they get busy on weekend nights like everyone here. They are great and I'm happy they're near my house. Definitely check it out!! read more

A great new addition to Manassas in my opinion, great staff and better yet great food and drinks! Everything came out nice and hot & flavorful! The fries were nice and crispy. Think old school McDonald's fries for the old heads like me out there. Crisp and salted nicely and not drowning in oil! Nor were they flimsy like the new McDonald fries. The inside decor of the restaurant it's probably one of my favorites , I will definitely be stealing some of the color choices if I could ever afford a home! read more

Came for brunch on Sunday with a party of 15. Ordered the Jap-chae because it's not an easy dish to make at home; if the noodles are overcooked it becomes a gelatinous glob. And sadly that's what happened when I received my order. Could not eat even half of it and had to leave early so did not address with management. That said, the decor is warm and inviting, and others really enjoyed their wings and chicken and waffles. I would return to see if other dishes are better. read more

My wife and I tried this place for the first time last night. First impressions, the staff were friendly and attentive. Andrew, our server, was very helpful in suggesting choices for us. Especially after we told him it was our first time there. The overall atmosphere was nice. Music was not too loud, but loud enough it could be heard over the din of the dining area. The place seems nice and open and clean. Now I have to admit, I am a picky eater. I don't like seafood, I don't like vegetables. But I didn't want to just "play it safe" and go for the burger sliders, or other safe picks from the menu. I did the Chicken Gyoza, which are like chicken pot-stickers, with roasted onions and roasted green onions, served in what seemed to be a soy-sauce. It was incredibly tasty! My wife got the Salmon Poke which she said was really good. She wasn't thrilled about the mango at first, but was pleasantly surprised. She said it doesn't sound like it should go well with the other ingredients, but it did. The pre-bussing game (where the staff take your empty and finished plates and glasses) was strong, and we never waited for refills. It really could not have been a better experience! read more

Hubby and I decided to spend date night at the new asian fusion restaurant in old town. Outstanding! We will most definitely be back!! 1. We started with two winter cocktails, Partridge in a Pear Tree and I think a Sugar Plum. Both were beautifully presented and tasted PHENOMENAL. 2. I ordered the Kalbi plate...it took me right back home to da 808 State plate lunch! So much perfectly marinated and charred meat; I do wish there were two scoops rice instead of one, but loved that it came with both a side salad AND kimchi. I give it a solid 10/10. 3. Hubby got a Banh Mi, which he enjoyed and destroyed in a short period of time. I heard no complaints from him so I'm assuming it was good based on the empty plate he had. Love the interior, the vibe. We went to dinner around 4:30/5, and when we left at 6-ish it was PACKED. Obviously a popular new spot, but also - I am so incredibly happy to have a new awesome asian fusion near home that reminds me of HOME home. read more

Service was impeccable, everyone was extremely attentive and friendly. Chatted with the owner James and learned about the food inspiration from his Korean omma's cooking.

The Good: Great new restaurant in Old Town Manassas with a variety of Asian fusion dishes and great cocktails! We came late afternoon on a weekday and had no issue getting a table. I love the vibes and even snapped some pictures of the interior for some home design into. We really enjoyed the K wings, the dragon something cocktail and the viet coffee martini (the names of those two escape me) and would those every time! The OK: The short rib bao buns needed more meat in our opinion and the bulgogi bowl was a bit salty for my taste, but solid dishes. I didn't try the poke nachos but my partner was a huge fan. I wouldn't order the lychee martini again - just a bit too sweet for me - but I can see why it's popular. I saw several people with that drink. And no bad! Will definitely frequent this spot in the future. read more

We checked out this restaurant for the first time and enjoyed it! We love Old Town Manassas, so when we heard about some new places opening, we knew we had to go and see what the type was about. The ambiance was really nice and we were able to get seated quickly. Our server gave some food and drink recommendations, and we all tried different drinks. The drinks were really good, from the taste to the presentation. We all also got an appetizer and different meals, so we had a good sense of the menu. The food was really good and fresh, although the appetizer and meals could have used more sauce. My brother was given the option of sauce for his meal and chose one, but I think it ended up coming with mine. We all tried the sauce and liked it, but wondered why each meal didn't come with it's own sauce pairing/choice. When we got the bill, it was weird to us that we were also given an uncharge for sauce. It makes sense for more of a fast-casual/takeout place, but not for a restaurant like this that is more upscale? I really enjoyed the poke nachos and poke burrito, regardless, and loved the ginger on the nachos. The service started strong but got a bit slow where we really didn't get checked on once our food came until we were finally ready for the bill. My husband was going to ask about getting some additional things, but opted not to since we had finished eating by the time our server came back. We would definitely be back and really enjoyed this restaurant! I am looking forward to seeing how their menu and offerings evolve. read more

Hubby and I decided to give this place a try. He ordered the lettuce wrap with chicken while I ordered the pork belly platter. He ordered an IPA and I ordered an espresso martini.

Tried Lume for the first time. It's a beautiful restaurant. Food was amazing. Staff was pleasant and attentive. We had the spring rolls, poke nachos, pork belly rice bowl, and the combo platter (ribs/bulgogi). Everything was cooked perfectly, good flavor, good portions. The nachos were definitely the favorite! Beautifully presented, good portion, and good flavor combination. My only complaint of the whole night was just wishing the tuna pieces on the nachos were smaller to allow better dispersal. But, we easily cut them to our liking and spread them as we went. We will definitely be back!! read more

My wife and I met friends for dinner on an early Sunday evening. Looking for a new place, we decided on Lume Asian Fusion in Manassas. Lume is a very nice Restaurant located in Old Town Manassas. We entered and were shown to a table by a friendly hostess. Our server was promptly at our table, and took our drink orders. My wife had the Tsai Snow Maiden Sake. She enjoyed it very much, but it came in a larger bottle than Sake is usually presented in. It was also room temperature and not warmed, however that was not a problem, just a difference. I had a cocktail called Lime Punch. This drink was heavenly, at least to my taste. It featured Rum, bleu curacao, pineapple juice and a few other yummies, with boba pearls for further interest. To me it was scary good. Aa an appetizer we ordered the K-Wings. Very tasty, though a bit spicy for me. I would heartily recommend them. For dinner, my wife had Jap-Chae (Korean Glass Noodles). She said it was good. Not the best she had ever had, but something she would probably order again. I ordered the Rice Bowl with spicy chicken. it comes with cucumber, pickled radish and red onion, kimchi, and a fried egg. It was excellent, one those meals that you are sad after you take the last bite because it is all gone. I would order it again and often. The restaurant itself is very clean and very open, with its high ceilings and tables and chairs instead of booths. The bar is along almost one whole side of the restaurant, and has a large and very interesting structure against the wall behind the bar that holds bottles and a large TV screen. The restrooms are also something to behold. I can only speak about the men's room, but it more than just immaculately clean. It had very nice wallpaper, and beautiful light fixtures around the mirror. I always visit the restrooms in every restaurant I review, and seldomly do I take pictures. But this restroom was stunning. Everyone working there was interested in making our visit memorable. Lume Asian Fusion is a restaurant that I would highly recommend paying a visit to. My wife and I will be back. And if you do dine there, and Rum is your thing, try the Lime Pinch. It is outstanding. read more

I debated between 3 and 4 stars for this review. In the end, the 4 stars won because I would rate this restaurant a "definite try". My daughter was here with her husband a few weeks ago, and she raved about the food. She wasn't wrong. We had edamame, chicken dumplings, spring rolls, poke nachos, and a combo platter. The combo platter was outstanding. The flavor was amazing, and the short ribs and pork belly were cooked perfectly. The poke was good but I was disappointed in the portion size. There were a ton of wontons, but relatively little topping. The spring rolls and dumplings were good, but the edamame was slightly underdone and watery. I'd rate a 5 for flavor overall, but a 3 for portion balance and soggy underdone edamame. The atmosphere was lovely. The location in old town was delightful. It was a beautiful day, and we enjoyed sitting outside. And now the service - we were greeted and sat promptly, and our server was attentive. The problem was that none of the wait staff seemed particularly well-trained. We had to get our own plates, cutlery, etc., and it seemed like there was a lack of awareness on the 'basics'. I do not blame the servers, as it seemed more of a training issue than one of competence. Generally, I'd say that Lume still has a few kinks to work through, but I enjoyed our experience and plan to return. If you're a fan of Asian Fusion, you won't be disappointed. read more

Lume for the WIN!!! My husband , kids, and I are visiting from Philly to see family. We were able to squeeze in a late date night and Lume was our choice. We ended up going later around 9:30pm they stay open till 2am which is a plus especially on the weekends. The place isn't that big but the ambiance and decor was really nice. We were greeted immediately upon entering and decided to sit at the bar. I ordered a drink from the summer menu which was the island drifter and my husband ordered off the main menu both white and red sangria. I enjoyed his drinks more than mine. I felt the island drifter I had, the mint and lime were very over powering but it was ok. We ordered the mango shrimp cocktail and it was VERY DELICIOUS. The flavor was really good and the fried wontons was the perfect pairing with it. We decided for entree's to get the Combo platter and Kalbi platter which were both delicious. The only thing I would change is adding more kimchi for the side, but that's just my preference. Of course we needed something sweet so we decided on the canoli Bao Buns which is on the regular menu but the strawberry cheesecake we ordered was on the summer menu only. If you're in the area definitely give Lume a try. I can't wait until we are back in town to visit, to come back again. read more
