Great Asian fusion restaurant with a large selection of delicious vegan dishes to share. A bit hard to estimate how many to order, since the portion sizes vary quite a bit per dish, and some are very small, while others are rather generous. Regardless, fantastic place!

Few restaurants do this any more. Above and beyond service, and when you thought that was enough, some comprehensive recommendations and suggestions for something you happened to mention in passing that left you humbled. Gorgeous space, warm and caring staff and some delicious plates in the middle. The miso aubergine is a stand out dish though wait for it to cool before eating it. Spare rib was juicy, tender and well seasoned but needed some sweetness to balance it (sweet soy glaze? More miso?) The baos weren’t baos but dumplings which surprised us. The pork slices weren’t bad but a crunchy element maybe? And the dirty rice! Wow. More like a stir fried Lamprais from Sri Lanka but wow! In all, Lucky Yu feels like it isn't resting on any laurels and is still inventing with its dishes. Oh and the sticky rice pudding here is one I’ll be thinking of for a very long time. Perfect medley of everything this is! Superb meal. Thanks guys!
