My girlfriend and I have tried a few times to visit fusion restaurants and have never happened upon something that feels like it really embodies the spirit of fusion - two cuisines interacting totally with each other and playing off each others strengths. That all changed when we went to Luna's after seeing it recommended on a Reddit best of Redding thread. There is obviously some serious culinary talent involved in the development of this exciting menu. My favorite thing we tried was the chicken dumpling burger. If you love dumplings and have ever greedily wished that succulent, tender filling went on forever, you will end up in the same heaven I did. Beautiful crafted patty, perfectly seared on a delicious bun with exquisite sauce. The presentation was also so adorable - it arrives in a steamer tray! My girlfriend's favorite was the pho sandwich. All the rich & nourishing toppings from iconic pho, vegetable and meat, bursting out of a banh-mi presentation. The master stroke of genius is rich and hearty pho broth to dip it in. I can't really even explain how satisfying the crunch of the sandwich is with the flavor profile of comforting pho. In addition, we both were extremely delighted with the playful and creative boba menu. I settled on the Ponyo-yo, which was a delicious little concoction of rich vanilla yogurt, peach puree, lemon popping boba served strikingly in a fishbowl glass with gummy sharks peeking out of delicious whipped cream topping. A feast for the senses! We also had a fantastic time splitting the bananas foster churro plate with beautiful strawberries and perfectly prepared bananas. If we hadn't been road tripping, we would have really enjoyed exploring the drinks menu, which was also very appealing. Maybe next time ;) oh and of course the chips & salsa were so good - love the little Korean spice profile touch on the chips. The venue also has wonderful ambience. Obviously very intentionally designed, the aesthetic is warm, inviting, and skillfully marries whimsy with comfort and charm. Pink SpongeBob in the women's restroom? HELLO? And of course you can enjoy the vintage anime playing on the big TV - I loved peeking up at Sailor Moon. The staff is also all very charming and friendly and the service was great. If you haven't given Luna's a chance, let this be your sign!! Just such an incredibly enjoyable night out, and I can't wait to visit next time we're in town. Thank you for a beautiful meal! read more

Was visiting family and while in town tried this place. So glad we did. It's unique and tasty. The service was amazing. Mercedes was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. It's a nice indoor restaurant a little dark. But they do have a patio area as well that's lit up more. I got the butter chicken enchiladas. So good and my husband got the asada tacos, has a little kick to them. We ended the night with banana pudding dessert.... Wow now that was tasty. Glad we live far away from here because that could be dangerous!! Definitely recommend! read more

Unique Mexican Asian fusion restaurant. There's probably aesthetics of the food is better than the taste BUT the food is still good.

Came here for dinner with my friend on a Monday night and there was plenty of open seating. The service was friendly but slow. They give you free chips which were really fresh and tasty. On Mondays, all margaritas are $5!! You can choose your margarita flavor as long as your rim. I really enjoyed my mango one. My yum yum bowl with pork belly was good and filling as well. Solid spot!! read more

I have heard great things about Luna's so perhaps my expectations were too high. Don't get me wrong, there isn't anything bad about it, but it wasn't over the top incredible. I will be returning and trying some other items, because there are plenty of intriguing things on the menu. The chips and salsa were good, I really like their spicy chip seasoning. The salsas were underwhelming though, although they went well with the chips. These are better than the standard chips and salsa at most places. The birria tacos were good, a little greasy (which is how birria is right?). However, I was waiting for a delicious bite of juicy beef and it was a little bland. The chimichanga was good, definitely an Asian flavor sneaking through there, so that's a plus. Ambiance is fine and it's cool have succulents all along the sills. Our server was a little uncaring I'll say. Nice enough, got our orders right, but only offered water refill once, and the water glasses are small. Plus she didn't offer dessert or give us much of a rundown on what would be a recommendation for ordering. It felt much more like a diner server than a restaurant wanting to be hip. Still, nothing super negative, and likewise nothing super positive. Hopefully next time changes my mind. read more

This place has outstanding food! The flavors are unique but very flavorful. The decor lives up to its name, a little bit of Asian decor and remnants of the previous Mexican restaurant it took over. Nonetheless it's comfortable, the lighting is on the darker side. We came here on a weekend and there was live music, we tipped the musician because he has a voice that's easy to listen to. Their servers are always helpful and attentive. Definitely became one of my favorite places to eat in. read more

The inside was well decorated and pretty, we were seated immediately as we went in. Lots of food options. I would give another star however the whole time we were there no one bothered to refil our water considering the phobreia being salty. I think if I were to go again I would order the fries and the serf and terf. However we probably won't go anymore. I did tip 10 dollars for the sherbet icecream they got for my birthday kid. Overall I am ending it with a three star. The kids also agreed. read more

My husband and I stopped here with our baby on Valentine's Day to celebrate being new parents. She had different plans for us and ended up being too fussy to be inside. When we requested our food to go, the staff gave us a discount on our order and free dessert to boot! He got the birria ramen and I went with a pork belly bowl. Both were amazing, and so was the chocolate mousse! Will definitely be back next time we are passing through Redding :) read more

This is an Asian Mexican "fusion" restaurant with a great menu. There's tons of options. We had the Birria pho and the handmade tortillas. Delicious! The horchata Thai tea drink was also a tasty surprise. The menu is adventurous and combines some traditional items with flare. Full bar. Great service by Natalie. This is casual dining with table service. My understanding is the owners come from a family of local restaurant owners so we are happy to support this smaller business. read more

Went in for happy hour tonight with my son. Food was great - we shared carnitas egg rolls, birria nachos, mixed tempura - unbelievably reasonable prices. The blueberry margarita and old fashion were also made perfectly and priced to please. Service was prompt and our server was cheerful and very helpful. We will definitely be going back. read more

Food was ok. However, tacos are tiny and you still pay full price with to go orders, but they don't give you the rice and beans. Which, as you can see, is not listed on menu and they failed to tell me that and forgot the sauce for them. I paid the extra $2 to try both types of alternative to plain corn. So for $14, I got 3 tiny tacos. Called thinking it was just a mistake. All I was told was server should have told me no sides came with it. With that and forgetting the sauce for my order, was still only told next time they would give me a 15% discount.. They charged credit card fee and even gave them a tip because they are very nice. But didn't realize what they were going to give me. Pretty bummed, because I love trying new things. I have never posted a review like this. Makes me sad.. But they were very nice when I was there. read more

Lunch on the day after Christmas, but looking to avoid a restaurant chain, pizza or burgers. I was on my way to a favorite Thai restaurant and saw Lina's. I have meant to try Lina's out but had failed to make it in as of yet. I was with my parents, and we had a really difficult time deciding what to order. Ultimately my parents split a Yum Yum Bowl and I got a Bulgogi Chimichanga. Incredible. There are at least 5 menu items I'm looking forward to returning to try. Service was a bit slow. But that might have been intentional - slow it down.... Based on one visit I highly recommend Luna's. If you only have 30 minutes maybe consider going when you have a few more minutes. You might enjoy your time more read more

We were driving through Redding from Portland to Sacramento and decided to take a meal break in Redding. We live trying fusion food places so when we saw this on Yelp it was a definite must. I'm so happy we did! The food was good and customer service even better! The minus one star is because we ordered the Birria Pho and had so much noodles in it that it lacked broth. So we had to ask for more, and they gladly brought it out to us! There was also so much beef in the pho that we could not finish it. Over all, we enjoyed this place very much and hope they continue to grow! Maybe we'll stop by again if we're ever in town again. read more

Happy Hour on a weekend! Yes! Tried Lunas for the first time and it didn't disappoint. Attentive, friendly staff and flavorful food! We enjoyed the house special margaritas that were 5$ on happy hour special and strawberry pineapple that night. Great taste and value. Kids enjoyed 3$ tacos that were simple but also came with beans and rice. Also fun kids drinks available, mine shared the shark Shirley temple. I got the birra ramen with the tacos added and then the seoul tacos. The birra ramen was enough for two people it was huge and very tasty. Can't wait to go back and try more! Great addition to Redding! read more

Y'all. When I tell you this place is the best in town...... I've been lucky enough to enjoy a lot of restaurants in a lot of places all over. But Lunas is an absolute gem. No matter where you are from or what you enjoy, the creativity of the menu, the warmest service, value for your dime, and adorable ambiance makes Lunas the place to be. I am so impressed by the way they have truly embodied "fusion" cuisine. It's honestly just fun. I love the way they are only "authentic" to themselves and their style. Go Lunas. You have truly brought something special to a diner town. read more

I honestly love Luna's. It's a really cute spot with a unique atmosphere, the food is so creative. The preparation, and concept is unlike anything I've seen in Redding. The margaritas are HUGE, and they have like 40 flavours. I've tried Thai Tacos, Quesabirria Tacos, Seoul tacos, & shrimp tacos which we're all great. My husband almost always gets the Mexican version of a bahn mi sandwich, and loves it. Everyone is so friendly there, and we alwaysgetgood service, though sometimes things can take too when they are really busy. We went for dinner last Thursday night, and were pleasently surprised to learn they have live music! We often see mixed reviews questioning the foods "authenticity," but I'm not sure what Authentic fusion food is, as it's a pretty new cuisine genra, and seems to be more of a creative endeavor, than a traditional "authentic" endeavor. All I know if the food tastes great, the drinks are strong, and the workers are friendly. read more

The food has NO FLAVOR! Birria Pho has very little broth. The broth is flavorless. The meat is flavorless. The quesabirria is flavorless. The surf n turf bowl has some chipotle sauce on it. It's also FLAVORLESS. The drinks are also watered down and flavorless. We tried hard to like it. Flooded our food with their chipotle sauce. We used the salsa. But nothing can add flavor here. read more

Korean and Mexican fusion! What a fun place to eat. Loved the elote ramen, buttery, comforting and with a little lime zing. The chips and salsa tasted homemade and delicious, we had to ask for another round! The mint cucumber mojito was so refreshing after a hot day outside and the mango green tea tasted freshly made. Sweet and friendly servers. We had multiple servers stop by to check on us. Colorful and fun interior. We can't wait to come back. read more

The Birra pizza, the chicken burrito and the Birra chimichanga. I will say the chicken buritto did have too much sauce for my tastes. Can't wait to try it again! read more

Ordered food this afternoon and basically everything that I ordered today included something they were out of. Ordered the Luna burger with waffle fries.. but they had no pretzel buns or waffle fries. So we got a burger on sourdough bread and cold partially frozen curly fries The Japanese tacos were alright but they were out of cherry tomatoes so they used regular which was whatever. The Birria ramen is supposed to have consommé or you'd think so at least. The taste is great but there was no broth whatsoever ever which is pretty disappointing. Just a huge cup of noodles and meat. I was very excited to try this place, as I have been hearing great things and the menu looks so promising. But todays meal was definitely underwhelming/disappointing. Hoping it's just a bad day on their end and I can try again some time and have a better experience. read more

Tee hee. Mexican Korean fusion food. The idea still makes me giggle a little bit. In a good way. I was super intrigued when I found this place on Yelp. In all of the places I have travelled I have never seen these two cuisines paired on the same menu. A menu with so many intriguing dishes you wonder how many times you are going to have to come back to this place to try all of the things you want to. Our first time here today and we opted to do lunch since we have Holiday feasts planned the next few nights. It was dead when we walked in (but we eat lunch at 11 because I have to have hot food every day at precisely 11 AM or Lord knows the earth will fall out of its orbit or I will get hangry and you don't want to see me hangry). So in we go at 11. The place look like a typical Mexican restaurant and yeah if you want to be a sissy and just eat Mexican food they have that but you can also go to literally like twenty other places in Redding for ordinary Mexican food. If you do I will call the Yelp head office (they know me over there) and ask that your Yelp badge be revoked. OK what was I talking about? Ok yeah, the Mexican Korean fusion menu. This is where the place gets interesting. Is it Mexican food influenced by Asian food? Or Asian food influenced by Mexican food. I think it is both. My wife had Thai rolled tacos which she let me nibble on. Bright notes of ginger in the filling and the tortillas were lightly fried. The daughter got a little more adventurous with the carnitas Bahn Mi. She judged the bread to be very good (most important part of a sandwich in my humble opinion) and the meat tender and tasty. She was a trooper and ate all of the sliced jalapenos on top. Not to be outdone I have the Birria Ramen (comes in a Pho version too). Plenty of broth and fillings like meat, noodles, corn, cheese and a fried egg. Also came with a Birria taco, which could have had a crispier shell (I cut it up into big pieces and dipped it in the ramen). I liked that our server made sure we were good with the jalapenos on the sandwich and the egg on the Ramen when we ordered (heck yeah we were!). She was also very attentive, refilling glasses and I like that I didn't even have to ask for chop sticks (in a Mexican restaurant tee hee). We will be back to explore more of the menu. Only downside here was the restroom, which had a funky smell and you needed a code to get in the door (I assume they get folks wandering in) and I have seen in mentioned in other reviews so yeah an investment in redoing those is a good idea. But the food and service far outweigh that and this place is worthy of a visit if for no other reason than to check out this fusion pairing and make sure that places like this that are willing to take a risk in Redding. read more

Great ambiance, Lots of character and fun for kids. live music on Saturday night, the kids had the "pizza" (quesadilla) for starters which we all loved and was great value. For mains I had the yum yum bowl with pork belly. Being diet conscious of what I eat, it was way too much and even though I left the white rice uneaten (should have got a substitute like lettuce), with having two pieces of the "pizza" beforehand I overate and felt bloated. My husband had a burrito with the egg on top but was mainly full of rice so he was a little disappointed with his choice. If you want filling food and like carbs, it's a cute place and the staff are great. We are more of a "keto" health conscious couple so was more of a one off fun place to try. read more
