Great underrated vegan restaurant

Been to a couple restaurants within this local chain. Always a big fan of the Eggplant in Garlic Basil Sauce (that comes with string beans and a side of rice). Perfectly sautéed and flavored eggplant and string beens. Very generous portion for the price (at least 2 solid servings). Treated myself to a Thai Iced Tea which is also fairly good deal ($5) for the size.

My friend ordered the Kimchi Pumpkin Gumbo, which was a bit of a miss. A slightly strange mix of flavors. But perhaps was less appealing to have soup on a hot day in a semi-air conditioned space.

Always many seats available no matter what time of day I’ve gone. Practically no need for a reservation in advance.

Chef’s Kiss!

We had pad Thai, miso soup and egg rolls. Each was done perfectly. Enjoyed the pressed tofu and enoki mushrooms in the pad Thai — not ingredients you’d always see in this dish, but very satisfying.

Pros: Delicious miso soup with plenty of seaweed, Helpful and efficient staff , High quality ingredients

Cons: Would be helpful to know what items contain gluten

Celiac Friendly!

I loved that they had a separate Gluten Free menu with lots of options. All of the food is delicious and they make everything themselves down to the Teriyaki Sauce which they are willing to make gluten free if you ask.

Pros: Full Vegan Menu, Gluten Free Menu Offered With Lots of Options, Everything Tastes Amazing

Cons: No cons

Healthy but bland

The food here is pretty expensive when compared to other vegan Asian restaurants in bk. The atmosphere is nice, but I mostly get takeout so I feel like I end up paying for the atmosphere without actually going. The food is light and my body feels good after eating it but It's also lacking any sort of flavor. I've tried to go back several times trying different dishes but I've always felt underwhelmed...

Healthy Options or Not

Luanns is the most severely underrated vegan restaurant in the area, The food is always good and I really appreciate them having healthy options as well as the typical fried food vegan faire. 10/10

Great seitan

Scallion pancake appetizer with avocado, arugula, cashew cheese and spicy may was amazing. The seitan in the pepper seitan with bok choy was the best I’ve ever had - perfect texture and delicious. The Prosperity Platter was good, but the pepper seitan was fantastic. Hope to return!

Pros: All vegan, Friendly staff, Outdoor back courtyard

Mockmeats

I quite enjoyed my meal. The serving sizes were generous, and theyve put a lot of care into the flavours. I really liked my meat skewers.
The red curry ramen was good, generous portion and fresh veggies but the taste wasnt *quite* to my liking. But that's a me problem! I wpuld go back, but i would order something else... but i think that the red curry is great too.

Pros: All vegan, Huge portions

Meh.

Had the pad thai and dumplings. Honestly I wasn’t impressed, the dumplings were good but pad thai was a disappointment

Had a dreamy candlelight dinner with my partner on our vacation in NY. We ordered the Pad Thai, a citrus soy dish. Oh! And matcha coconut cheesecake.

Pros: All vegan!

Cons: Small seating area... could also be a pro?

Wild ride for tastebuds

I got the following:
1) Thai Iced Tea-tasted just as sweet as it ought to
2) Scallion pancake with avocado, greens and spicy mayo-holy moly it was savory!
3) Pad Thai-some of the best I’ve had even before going Vegan

Can’t wait to check this spot out in person!

Pros: All vegan, So delicious , Reasonable prices and portions

Lovely Vegan restaurant

I have been here a bunch the past year and it is always a nice experience.
It is typically pretty quiet inside and the service is pretty decent.
I love their crispy soy nuggets and often times order their general tso's.
If you are in the are and need a tasty and quick bite definitely stop in!

Fantastic vegan asian food

This is my favorite vegan asian place. They offer vegan version of the american chinese comfort food that you might be craving. Their twist of General Tso Chicken or Orange Beef are super yummy. But they also have other dishes, vegtable based, without plant-based meat.
My only complaint is that both times I've been here I ordered brown rice, but the order came with white rice. But they exchanged it for brown rice once I mentioned it.

Pros: You get Chinese comfort food in a vegan version, Cozy interior

Amazing Appetizers

All the food was delicious, but I think next time I'll just order one of every appetizer to eat. The scallion pancakes and dumplings were amazing.

Pros: Appetizers
