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.

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

seitan skewers, Malaysia curry stew, kimchi fried rice. The skewers were a highlight with Unami mushroom flavor and very fresh!

Nice patio! Good service! Healthy food! I'd come back. Easy to get a table and peaceful environment

Mango Avocado Summer Rolls

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.

Raw thai salad, house bi-bim bap, and edamame.

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.

Grilled Miso Eggplant
Angela Y.

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!

Skewer bowl

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!

M17. General Tso's Soy Protein

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.

If you are in the neighborhood I would say, these smash burger are a good option for you…read more Ambiance: Came here in the afternoon, and the vibe was relaxed with nice music in the background and a lot of seatings. Food: Smash burger are great, they are not the best but I would rank it as top 5 in the city. I was pretty surprised how they charge for cheese (the place is mostly Kosher, and the Cheese of I remember is vegan) which contradict the concept of smash burgers. The fries were overly cooked if not almost burned, so I couldnt eat half of the basket. Service: ordering regular fries and getting trufle fries just to charge me extra is not a nice move. But having those popcorn and water cup made up for it little bit. If I knew I would be charged that much (burger + fries) I would have chosen from the lunch special menu

Wanted to like this place more but it missed the mark. This is really a 3.5 star review…read more I went on a weekday around 12:30 and it was completely empty. I was told to take a menu from the counter and that I could have a seat. Tried to order a mint lemonade but they didn't have any mint. OK so I ordered a strawberry basil iced tea, which was refreshing, but didn't really have much flavor in my opinion. When I looked at the menu, they had a lot of different burger options but I settled for a Smashburger that was shown on a summer menu. However, I then watched the waiter offer two groups who came after me a lunch special menu that was not offered or mentioned to me. Had I known there were lunch specials, I would've checked them out to see if I wanted to order. So I was a little upset that these were offered to everyone except me. In terms of the actual burger, I found the patties to be way too thin, even for a smash burger. To me it left the burger, feeling kind of skimp and not fulfilling at all. I also ordered fries which were honestly the star of the show. Lastly, I didn't feel like the service was up to par. There was a large table in front of a door and the waiter kept yelling to people to not sit at the table because he needed to access the door. My question is, why place a table in a spot that you know you need to be able to go in and out of? And then on top of that when he gave me the bill, it said one price, however, after I paid and a receipt was brought to me to sign it, had a different price. What I think happened is he did not add the drink the first time and I didn't notice, but I feel like when this happened you should just say to the customer that you forgot to add something and here's a new receipt. There was also an automatic 15% gratuity, which I wasn't fond of. I spent $40 for a lunch that I barely liked. Way too overpriced and not worth the visit imo.

Brooklyn stays undefeated. Went to David's Brisket House -- a Jewish deli run by Yemeni Muslims in…read morethe middle of an Afro-Caribbean neighborhood. If that's not the most Brooklyn thing ever, I don't know what is. Same sandwiches, different blessing. Everybody says order the pastrami, so I listened like a grown man should. Pastrami on rye with spicy mustard absolutely slapped. Smoky, juicy, perfectly stacked, and messy enough to ruin your shirt with honor. Then came the beef brisket on rye with a cup of au jus for dipping... and brother, that dip should be studied by scientists. Pure perfection. Washed everything down with a Dr. Brown's root beer like it was 1957. No fake trendy nonsense. No deconstructed sandwiches. Just old-school deli greatness that punches you directly in the soul. Great food doesn't care where you come from -- it just brings everybody to the same table. That's New York. That's Brooklyn.

Stopped by David's Brisket House while in Brooklyn after hearing so many recommendations about this…read morespot, and it definitely lived up to the hype. One of the best parts is that the place is halal, which made it an easy stop for some classic New York deli-style sandwiches. The restaurant has that old-school neighborhood deli feel with a small cozy dining area, wood-paneled walls, and the smell of fresh smoked meat filling the entire place. I went with the combo pastrami and corned beef on rye, and it was absolutely loaded with meat. The pastrami was tender, smoky, and packed with flavor, while the corned beef was juicy and perfectly seasoned. The rye bread held everything together really well and added that classic deli flavor that makes sandwiches like this so good. We also tried the Reuben-style sandwich with melted cheese and sauerkraut, which was equally delicious and perfectly balanced. The portions here are huge, the meat quality is excellent, and every bite tasted fresh and flavorful. Definitely a must-visit spot if you're in Brooklyn and craving authentic deli sandwiches with halal options.

Chef Erick, formerly of Boru Boru and other high Michelin star rated spots, is the executive chef here now and doing what he does best to make this gastropub a huge success. Dishes you'll be familiar with but with a slight twist in a good way is the name of the game here. The vibe is upbeat, staff is friendly and the food is on point. This night we had the caramelized medjool dates with chunks of crispy beef bacon, pickled red onions with a drizzle of aioli that but thru the sweet and have it a nice balance. Their signature burger is ultra juicy bf flavorful, even if you must get it well done ;), the Duck pastrami was really tender and had all the flavors of what a traditional pastrami would have. Their charcuterie board was phenomenal and chef said he'd be updating it from time to time with new additions as well. And I'm physical obsessed with their pickled veggies jar!! Loved their olive oil cake served with an in season persimmon and kumquat coulis, almost like a short cake and the sweet and tart of the fruit coulis complimented really well. So get your GNO, BNO, birthday, date night, family celebration going here! It's a fun night out with great food, beautiful ambiance and upgrade energy! Oh and they will hold your table 20 min past your reservation time, DO NOT BE LATER THAN THAT because there is a ton of walk ins and they will give your table up to one of the many hungry patrons waiting. Which I do very much appreciate that they stick to that rule.

The staff are some of the nicest people I've ever met and are so understanding with customers (I would go in and buy one large iced mocha with two extra shots of espresso and then work on my laptop for a bit.) There is internet and it is open 24hrs. Sometimes it can get super packed up but even then it's worth the line and they get through heavy rushes pretty fast honestly. Plus it gets packed for a reason, it's the best. I can't have dairy anymore but they actually have a load of dairy free options for drinks and food and overall it's just a very thoughtful place. If you want to try some of the best coffees/teas/chai lattes in all of New York, head over to their crown heights or Coney Island locations and you will NOT be disappointed. I've probably had a couple hundred drinks from there in the past but y'all ready know when I make it to New York next, Chocolatte is my first stop
