Ok, so, I kinda loved my experience at Lucky Ginger from beginning to end…read more Myself and my dining companion dropped by without reservations and were able to get a spot at the bar. That said, I'd likely get reservations were I to stop by again. They're a bustling little spot and saw several groups who weren't able to get a table without reservations while we were there. Where we sat at the bar, we were able to see the kitchen and our food (and others) begin prepared which was fun to see (and also nice from a transparency standpoint). Let me tell you--they are hustling in that kitchen! I began with a berry smash whiskey cocktail which was refreshing and fantastic. For my dinner, I got the bbq salmon which came with a salad to start and rice and asparagus on the side. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The only small note I had was I would have loved more asparagus but honestly, I could probably ask for a side of that next time to amp up the veggies. The service was lovely and the prices were reasonable. Get to it!

Absolutely awful service. We came in at around 5:30pm, and the place barely had anyone there. We…read moresaid we didn't have a reservation, so they said we had to sit at the bar. So, we did. But luckily my husband quickly checked well before we were served and saw there were reservations available online, so he booked us one on the spot. We were then given two excuses, one by the bartender and a different one by the host as to why they couldn't honor the reservation: (1) there were no tables available for us (note the place was half empty, but we supposed maybe there were lots of reservations coming later--nope, the place was still half full by the time we left); (2) we had to make the reservations 30-40 minutes in advance and we didn't do that so even though we did have a reservation, they couldn't honor it because we made it too soon to the reservation time (WOW--complete BS). We were peeved but decided we should just enjoy our dinner. BUT as we were finishing up, about 5 couples came in WITHOUT a reservation and both the host and the bartender gave each couple the option to either sit at the bar or at a table. When I confronted the bartender about it, she claimed "they weren't supposed to do that." WHAT?! She literally just offered a couple a table without a reservation. What do you mean?! It was insulting. Anyway, we will absolutely NEVER come back here. The tip we left was solely for the kitchen staff who were hard at work and doing an honest job. Bartender and hosts are discriminatory and awful. Do NOT recommend if you are looking to be treated with respect. Would give zero stars if that were an option.

That timeframe is always a very optimistic underestimate. They will routinely tell you that it'll take 10 minutes when it will take 3 times that. I have wasted entire lunch hours due to this before, and I guess the joke is on me, because it just happened to me again. Buyer beware. Don't come here unless you have tons of time to waste. I'm done with this place.

It can get really loud in here so you may have to shout a bit at your dining party. I would definitely recommend having a reservation. I don't think there was an empty seat in the whole place the entire hour and a half that we were there. Service: Really helpful and kept our waters filled and did pretty decent with the tempo of the meal. The entrees came out before we were finished with the appetizers and with how small the tables are it was an insanely tight fit and basically a juggling act, but that's minor. Drinks: We got the sake flight and I highly recommend this, it was delicious and a good variety of different flavor profiles, yum! Food: We ordered the xiao long bao and shu mei for appetizers. I preferred the shu mei and my partner preferred the xiao long bao. Which was nice that we each had an opposite preference. We also ordered the tonkatsu ramen and the mapo tofu. The tonkatsu ramen was a bit bland and it was interesting with the corn in it...however the chasu pork that topped it was delicious and plenty! The mapo tofu honestly might be the best I've had. I would order that every week if I lived in the area. The spice level was perfect on it with ample amounts of pork (I LOVE spicy food and this was exactly what I was looking for, my partner took one bite and started to sweat so be careful lol). Since I can't find this level of mapo tofu where I live I'm going to add this of things to learn how to cook at home, yay!

We started with the pork belly bao and an order of soup dumplings. The pork belly was heavily sauced with a hoisin-type sauce and the dumplings were quite bland. I definitely recommend eating them with the vinegar and s side of hot pepper oil. I had the Szechuan beef noodle soup and my daughter ordered the Miso ramen. Both the soups pretty much looked the same. It seem like they use the same broth for both soups. My soup is very planned I had to add the vinegar for some flavor. The food was okay.

I'm a wimp with spice, and the heat definitely crept up, but I couldn't stop eating them. I expected the ramen to be broth-forward, but it's more Buldak-style, creamy and saucy. I tried my brother's spicy chicken ramen and loved it. Spicy, but manageable, especially with the cheese. We also tried the wings, edamame, and shumai. The wings brought a little more heat, while the shumai was light and satisfying. Service was the only miss. Our server was also hosting, so drinks and the bill were slow, but he was friendly and clearly stretched thin. Great food, hip atmosphere, and I'll be back to try a ramen for myself.
