Came to visit here as my wife and I always pass by it during our walks. It wasn't busy on a Wednesday night so the front was empty and the outdoor space had one group. We wanted to have a beer and the waiter let us try a few before deciding on the Bohemian Pilsner and the Half Acre Pale Ale on draft for $8ea. They were both delicious and cold so we were pleasantly surprised! Will come back for the food next time! read more

Whether you're vegan or not, you gotta try Luanne's, it's a total gem. We got the scallion pancakes with mango salsa, the kimchi-fried jasmine white rice and the spicy soba and kale. All of it was fabulous--I'm serious, one of the best meals I've had all year (and relatively inexpensive!). The menu is massive and I cannot wait to come back and try more dishes. Luanne's is one of those vegan restaurants that you come out wondering why you aren't a full-time vegan. The variety of tastes, the wholesome ingredients, plus a staff that is so kind and considerate. I saw the manager (owner?) come out and greet a regular with a homemade card to give to her kid. So beautiful! We ate in the back patio, away from the craziness of Dekalb, and it was so pleasant, quiet and comfortable. I really can't wait to come back. read more

Oh this is yummyyyyyyy. It's a vegan spot that my niece casually mentioned. We went towards the end of the night and dined in, and I was impressed! They're described as Asian vegan, and I was excited to see so many Asian countries featured on the menu. Everything from China, Thailand, and Vietnam to Japan, India, and Korea were on that menu. The staff were super nice, and they were patient with us as we tried to decide what to get. They had so many lovely pumpkin soup and noodle options... my sister asked her what some popular favorites where, and she mentioned this black bean cutlet skillet... and I was sold. I got this eggplant appetizer as well. While waiting for the food, I got a rum mango drink that was out of this world. The eggplant appetizer came first and it was fantastic -- though I know my sister wouldn't have liked it because of the texture. And then the skillet came, sizzling oh so nicely. It was delicious! I could've had more of that black bean sauce though. The place was pretty empty on a Saturday night, and I feel like they deserved so much more business for how good they were! read more

Great menu- so many options! The service was fantastic and food was delicious. Very happy to find this spot tonight- it was perfect.

great service, delicious food food not as hot I was would have liked It wasn't busy so they offered to let us stay as long as we liked with free refills on tea read more

What a perfect and beautiful quaint space. I found it on my Yelp search for soup. A brisk 10 minute walk to Dekalb brought me a warm cup of pumpkin soup on a very cold day. Not only that; the service was extremely pleasant, the ambiance was literal perfection and they serve rum & chai toddies. (I didn't get one) but like I said the soup was spot on. White bean, pumpkin, and squash, it tasted rich, almost Spanish. Metal chop sticks, home style china and the red leather seats are three things I wouldn't have thought to pair, but I'm glad someone did. 5/5 I highly recommend. read more

They're so friendly at this location and the tofu skin wrap is to die for. Get extra napkins.

This is the best hidden gem in neighbourhood. I've eaten here for years and it has only gotten better. Best music, best service, best food.

This was a really nice place . It's like a little tucked away nook almost . I would have liked the blinds to be more open but it was still a lot of natural sunlight . The server was sweet and it was empty , so my food came out in perfect time . I tried the samosas and they were sooooo good and crunchy . I also got the orange fried seitan I think it's called ? I thought it was a bit too sweet for me personally . I would have liked a balance of savory and sweet I felt it was just very sweet but my mom liked it lol altogether it was a really nice meal and cost efficient. I would def be back for sure read more

Quite the culinary experience! Dishes were iriginal and delectable. Quantities were very reasonable and ingredients were very fresh. The atmosphere in the back yard is pleasant and relaxed. I tried the Mango Avocado Summer Rolls, Kale Mandarin salad with walnuts, burgul, cranberries, and the Kale Avocado Shiitake Bowl. I ended up with one of the vegan deserts, Raw Banana Custard Tart. Each of the dishes was delicious. The waitress rocked it and was very helpful with the suggestions and descriptions. read more

I really enjoyed my meal here. I came on a weekday for lunch, and the place was pretty much empty so the service was very fast. I loved that it was a vegan friendly spot that didn't feel like it was trying to impersonate non vegan food - it let naturally vegan ingredients and flavors shine, and all the food felt fresh and healthy but tasty and interesting at the same time. A lot of healthy vegan spots serve you really basic salads and grain bowls that you could easily make at home, but Luanne's served delicious and creative meals with tasty sauces. and was not unreasonable in terms of price either. It's a fairly casual location, but nice enough to meet up with a friend or date here for a meal. I would come again. read more

Luanne's Wild Ginger - Raw thai salad, house bi-bim bap, and edamame. - Vegan Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Wow!!! This place is incredible- I stumbled upon it accidentally. I was so hungry and decided to check it out. I ordered the dumplings, pad Thai, and pineapple fried rice. I was so pleasantly surprised. I loved the atmosphere as well. The gentleman "shig" that took my order was so kind and provided great service. I definitely will be coming back! read more

Fabulous dinner. Ordered 4 different dishes. The curry was absolutely fantastic, beautiful blend of flavors, the green tea noodles were perhaps my favorite. Similar to Cold sesame noodles but with an extra flare. Other dishes were the fried oyster mushrooms, they initially look like fried large potato slices, but were chewy like mushrooms, with an orange sweet sauce. We also got a bowl with avocado, shiitake, beans, greens, over a really nutty flavor type rice, very pretty, healthy, and good. Comfortable, casual atmosphere, friendly waitress that was helpful in describing the dishes. Will definitely return next time I'm in NY. read more

So good! 5 stars across the board for food, service and ambiance. Only thing I can't speak to are the drinks, but the menu did look good. The crispy stuffed tofu skin wraps in particular were excellent as a shareable starter... more or less like spring rolls. A friend who has gone several times tries something different each visit and has yet to be disappointed. read more

The food was amazing , service was excellent, and the ambiance was welcoming and intimate.

4.5 stars - really solid vegan Asian fusion!! Made a res for Friday night at 7 for a table of six. The inside is very cute, with a warm, cozy, atmosphere. We were seated in the back and even though some members of our party were late we weren't rushed to order. My friend and I split the miso eggplant, crispy tofu skin, and general Tsoys protein. All three dishes were very good. I loved that the eggplant was warm and juicy and soft. The crispy tofu skin was filled was stuff and the soft inside contrasted nicely with the very crispy fried exterior. The general tsoys protein Pattie's were great and I liked the flavor, reminding me of classic general tso's. The broccoli however was quite flavorless and bland, I wished they had stir fried it instead. Overall enjoyed the experience and would come back. Great flavor for vegan food! read more

LuAnne's Wild Ginger is a solid spot for Brooklyn vegan dining. I was hesitant about their pan-Asian menu but the first visit quickly dispelled that, so much so that I went a second time on the same trip. This was a time before I lived in Brooklyn and now that I do I've gone back to LuAnne's several times. The seared miso eggplant topped with hijiki mushrooms is a fav. This is the only place I've seen this served and it's a must dish. Would also recommend the black pepper seitan served on a bed of bok choy, a staple on Chinese menus. This vegan version is tasty. Luanne's has several locations in Brooklyn and in the city. This loc is probably my favorite because the other Leeuwen, Van Leeuwen to be exact, is just a couple blocks down the street for vegan ice cream. read more

Tried the eggplant and string bean lunch special plus the ginger miso ramen. Everything was delicious. The ramen bowl is a generous portion! I loved the taste of the broth, and my non-vegan fiance enjoyed the red curry ramen too. read more

First time, everything was delicious. Went to the fort Lee location and had the red curry ramen, kimchi kabocha squash gumbo, samosas, and mushroom spring rolls. Friends had the pho and the black bean sizzling veg plate. Everyone was super stoked. Everything had solid depth and satisfied all members at the table. The broth for the pho was the biggest pleasant surprise, but everything we tried I would recommend! Friends had mentioned they've been to other Luanne's locations in Nyc but they are all different with different menu items + a few staples. Definitely check it out if you're in the area! read more

Why didn't I come here earlier? I've been asking myself everyday since my first visit last week! The extensive vegan menu is absolutely mind blowing. I want to try every item on it. The relaxed and stylish interior vibes are also wonderful. I had a rice bowl and eggplant appetizer and both were amazing. The rice in the bowl was cooked just perfectly and the skewer was really flavorful with a nice texture. From a sustainability perspective, they used all reusable utensils for dine in. Can't wait to go back and try more items! read more

Luanne's Wild Ginger - Skewer bowl - Vegan Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I have been to Luanne's wild ginger in Franklin Ave in Brooklyn and Broome st. This is my first time coming to this location in Clinton hill and I had a bad experience unfortunately. I always order the general tsos protein and this is the first time it is drenched in sauce that I couldn't eat my veggies and had to ask for a small plate on the side. The server was on the phone for the majority time I was there which made him unaware when I needed a fork or a drink. I mentioned the sauce was a bit much and still didn't acknowledge it. I love the other locations never was an issue. If you're getting this dish make sure you mention not too much sauce it was super sweet. read more

Luanne's Wild Ginger - M17. General Tso's Soy Protein - Vegan Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

There's nothing I love more in New York City than a cozy chic "hÿgge"-like experience in a small eatery. As perky as the bartender is, I don't recommend date night here 100 times over. See you soon Luanne! read more

Always a good time for vegans and those trying to cut down on meat products. Still can't quite figure out the protein dishes, wish they had photos in the menu! That said, everything was awesome. The soba/kale dish came cold, so that was a surprise. The lychee mojitos were very sweet and didn't seem to have enough alcohol. Also, wish they had more dessert options, they only had one available! read more

First of all let me start off by saying that I was one of the first people totally judging crazy New Yorkers for eating outside in the snow! Well put me on the official crazy New Yorker list, because I had THE best vegetarian food last night! AND it was spiced up with some Asian fusion that kept the heat rolling. Now the thing about Sagittarius such as myself we are just spontaneous people. So when you put two of us together who knows what can happen. We really had no intentions of staying at Wild Ginger and then dinning out. We simply just just wanted to order some food and go. Until we realized we ordered a lot of food that needed to be sampled while hot. The hostess was so friendly and accommodating. I apologize I forgot his name but I love him for making it a great evening and an awesome warm experience. Ok ok let's get to the food. We ordered; steamed Soy Dumplings, Fried Wontons, scallion pancakes my favorite , miso Mushroom Soup, Genteral Tso's Chicken (Tufu), Kimchi Undon Noodles which was the right spicy yet flavorful, Quinoa salad which had kale and pieces of pumpkin simply delicious. I had the Nori Wrap which had avocado and brown rice in it was also great! All the dishes came with dipping sauces to enhance the flavors but Im telling you the food is great without it. Of course a pot Green tea was needed to keep us warm along the way. So technically we vegged out . Everything was delicious, flavorful who knew vegetables could taste so fabulous. My palate was well pleased. I was Warm and Cozy. I had great food and service! Can't wait to go back! I love NY. We have the best food! read more

Absolutely loved this place when we went for our first time last week. I just moved to Fort Greene and my mom is vegan so I needed to find a good local spot with options for her. We didn't have to look far before settling on this as our regular spot. We must have gotten half the appetizer menu and then each got an entree. Everything was incredibly good and leftovers were quickly eaten the next day. Loved the outdoor area out back too which provided shade, quiet and some nice music. read more

Never coming back. Saturday night. Out of town friends over for a send off dinner. Food was good. The bartender has been gone over a half hour. The overworked waitress, dealing with several tables, hasn't stopped by to check on us, since serving dinner. I'll accept having a cigarette break but damn! I think she said he went to the laundry... read more

The food here is terrific. The service was excellent. The only reason I'm going from five to four stars is because the music was really loud and not conducive to conversation. We asked it to be turned down and then maybe a different kind but really the music should have been turned off. read more

Superb service and food. Cozy ambience. Nice welcome back to New York. Would definitely go again when the pandemic is over. read more

I've been to the Smith street location and the Franklin location. And now this one (well delivery). Everything is consistent between the different locations and always delicious. My go to is the sweet and sour chicken (soy protein). It comes with veges, rice and miso soup. Everything has great flavor and is so fresh. I love the sweet and sour sauce. Its big enough to split with two so that's what we did! Plus we ordered the miso eggplant app. Which was really good too, it had some small yummy mushrooms on the top and the sauce was salty and savory. A good match for the sweet and sour dish we ordered. And the miso soup is the best miso soup I've had. Its so warm and comforting and they put a decent amount of seaweed in it. We ordered off the website which charges around a 2.50 delivery fee only and plus tip of course. All in all it was 30 dollars for enough food for two people and it was delivered! It came right on time too! Order here! read more

So fresh, so delicious!!!!!! It's vegan friendly, gluten friendly place with a very homey and chic atmosphere. They have a happy hour special where a small plate and an alcoholic beverage for $10. Started off with the spring rolls. They're filled with fresh mango and avocado, and we're naturally sweet and tasty. Entree of spicy soba kale noodles had so much flavor. It had gochujang sauce over the tofu which created a fun korean fusion. Kale was soft, soba sauce was well seasoned. My belly was left full, happy, and not bloated thanks to everything being so fresh!!! read more

Delicious and healthy! Fabulous faux meat, home made gingerale and delicious veggies!

I am not vegan and I love meat or steak with crust. But this place on of my favorite restaurants. read more

I saw an old review of what I thought of this place and I def changed my mind. Having been there a few times now I can say I actually enjoy it. If you can, ambiance wise, try to sit in the garden. It's lovely out there. It's all about the red curry soup thing, that was really major. The medallion salad is good too. Vibe check is at peak when the waitress with the dark hair is there, she's maybe my fave part of the experience. She ups the cool factor for sure. read more

The food is amazing and makes me feel so good. Staff is cute and fun. A gem in Fort greene.

Clean, tasty, and healthy food made with quality ingredients! It was hard to decide what to have as the menu offers a variety of options ranging from bowls, small plates to noodles; even drinks also include a range of homemade sugar free options. The desserts are great too. I enjoyed the steamed macro bowl that had red rice. read more

I ordered the King Oyster as per recommendation of the hostess it wasn't bad, but without the sauce it really doesn't have a taste. It's texture rivals that of calamari except less chewy. The next item I ordered was the Sweet Citrus Soy which was a big let down as it wasn't as it was described; Overall it taste watered down. It didn't taste sweet or citrusy at all. There were no orange pieces in it and instead of cashews it was served with almonds. Things like this really bother me as people have allergies such as my mom who is allergic to almonds but not all nuts. I think any alteration like that should be told to patrons as it can result in something serious. read more

This was a very fun place, with great food. Excellent for sharing, and with a nice drink menu.

Excellent food; wicked fast delivery. Definitely became a neighborhood favorite spot.
