Wonderful - Edit
Got the black pepper seitan and it was wonderful! Tender and chewy and moist. Got delivery with chow now and got it within 20 minutes. Will definitely stop by next time I’m in town

Good food and efficient dining experience - Edit
Not a fan of pan Asian in general but everything I’ve had here is good and the prices a fairly reasonable for portions. Hot sour soup is actually spicy flavorful and loaded with mushroom.. I was very pleasantly surprised. Good lunch specials. Fast and attentive service. It never seems that busy either vs some other Asian in area.. so this is one of my choices when I just want a solid no fuss meal. They also will sit you down at 10pm which makes it a good late option but be mindful they are ready to lockup promptly at 10:30

Good food! - Edit
I’ve been to one of their other locations that managed to impress two very carnivorous friends, so I knew the food here should be pretty good.
Read moreI really liked the miso eggplant appetizer. The pho was alright - I wasn’t a fan of the mock meat it came with and overall it lacked flavor a bit, but I truly appreciated the huge portion size!! The prices were very fair. Nothing was overly salty or oily.
I went on a Friday night and it was packed. The tables are so close to each other, it felt really tight. For warmer months they have outdoor seating - otherwise I’d recommend making a reservation.
Overall this is not my fav LuAnne’s location but still a solid option in the area so it still gets 5 stars from me.

Solid Vegan Asian Food - Edit
LuAnne's was delicious! Being Asian, I am probably a harder judge on asian cuisine. Very solid, highly recommend. But there are also many other great asian places to check out too!

Probably Beyond sushi is the best I tried so far. Franchia and Hangawi are good but not the best. I want to try spicy moon. fast casual mok bar snd noodle love is tasty

I like Beyond Sushi and Franchia. Am yet to try Hangawi - seems quite pricey though! I’m curious what you’ll think about Spicy Moon. The other two you mentioned aren’t fully vegan, right?
Read moreHave you been to Ginger Root?
RavishingRavenous
Hangawi is a sister of Franchia, so if you like one you will most likely like the other. I also want to try planta queen which looks asian. yes mok bar is non veg and I think noodle love is non-veg too. I also liked barn joo for non veg but there are limited options.

Good option for limited budget! - Edit
I really enjoy the place and food! The place is quite magical and quiet within the jungle of Manhattan. The food tasted delicious! My friends and I enjoyed a daily menu for around 12$ with a starter and main dish included. Delighted to have found this place!

All vegan and friendly staff - Edit
We liked the music they played as it added to the atmosphere. The food was served very quickly, but note that we were there shortly after opening and seemed to be the first costumers there. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated, the staff was very friendly and attentive and the food was very nice.
Read moreWe did however feel that some of the dishes could have more flavour, but they were still good.
Pros: All vegan menu , Friendly staff

Coming here for years ! - Edit
I love this place and been coming for years. Has so many great options that can be on the indulgent or healthy side depending on what you feel like your plant based should be that day! It’s a very homely place , great for a meal with your partner or catch up and glass of wine with a friend. It’s not “super” fancy I guess , but that’s nice because it’s somewhere you can come again and again , be treated like an old friend and not pay an impossible bill (hard these days in NYC). Lots of money being thrown at plant based dining these days but it’s places like this that truely get it , that should be supporting. Lots of love to this awesome establishment.
Read morePros: All the food, Understanding of vegan food, Healthy or indulgent

Nice Asian Vegan food! - Edit
It was a nice enough place with some hits and misses. We ordered Summer Rolls, Stuffed Fried Wantons, Crispy Soy, BBQ Seitan Skewers and Sizzling Soy Cutlet Platter. I find eating Asian in States it's always a bit sweet and the only chilli sauce that's available is Sirachi and I can't get chilli oil at all. This was no exception with sweet mango sauces on offer which I replaced with other things.
Read moreI found the summer rolls a bit disappointing as I prefer finely chopped ingredients instead of the long fat strips of vegetables used here and there were no fresh herbs either. The Sizzling Soy Cutlet was rather lack luster. The Stuffed Fried Wantons, Crispy Soy and BBQ Seitan Skewers were all good. The Skewers were the best, juicy with a sublime sauce.
Over all it was nice but it depends on what you order.
Pros: BBQ Seitan Skewers
Cons: Sizzling Soy Cutlet Platter, Summer rolls, Scallion Pancakes

Fine Dining Atmosphere. Experimental Pan-Asian Food. - Edit
LuAnne's Wild Ginger is a great option for when you are ravenous and quickly want an elegant place to eat a meal at. That's because it offers a wide range of pan-Asian inspired foods-- they are not authentic, but they are delicious and implemented well. (For instance, their Korean bi-bim-bap, or vegetable rice bowl, is a dish I grew up eating-- the one at LuAnne's includes mango salsa and chickpeas, though the authentic, traditional Korean version will not have those ingredients.)
Read moreFor instance, I tried their crispy soy protein dish, which paired well with the greens and sweet-tart plum sauce. I highly recommend their black pepper seitan, too.
Pros: Elegant dining space, Quick service, Experimental, creatively implemented dishes
Cons: Pan-Asian, innovative dishes may not suit everyone
