    tuna poke bowl
    Tatyana T.

    Best poke style bowl in Richmond! Huge portion & loved all the different combo options. service was great even on a busy sunday afternoon. have mostly done take out, but will definitely be dining in again soon!

    Bougie AF roll

    PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great service, Christina was an amazing bartender. My wife and I decided to do a day date, and wanted some good sushi. EVERYTHING was GREAT! The freaking lobster dumpling was unreal! Needed to be served with bread. I will be back soon, we were full and looking at what to get next time. They were extremely accommodating, which isn't always an easy thing when it comes to changing sushi rolls. I'm allergic to fin fish, and can only eat shellfish and they were able to make each roll without the fish. I honestly want to go back this week hahaha

    This is the best sushi in Richmond! I'm visiting for a few months and had sushi elsewhere and didn't think it was bad until I tried this place. The sushi/fish quality here puts the other establishments to SHAME!!! If you want sushi in Richmond this is the place to get it, all the servers were lovely and the establishment clean with nice bathrooms and they have an outdoor and indoor seating area. Outdoor does have heaters. 10/10 recommend, and can't wait to come back

    Tried going here abt a year ago and didn't wanna wait the 1 hr long wait. So I recently went and snagged a seat for lunch and absolutely loved the visit ! Food was yummy, service was great. I loved the interior design too it was lovely. Only downside was the fact that I broke a bracelet right in the middle of my lunch and it went everywhere... but the servers were lovely enough to help pick up the beads ! Def gonna be a repeat visitor !

    Blueberry Lemonade, yummy!

    Friends and I stopped in last night for dinner. This was our first visit to this restaurant. The hardest part about this place is finding parking, especially on a Friday night. We got a table in the back room and were immediately greeted by our server. We opted pork gyoza and the crab ball special as appetizers and my friend and I split a shrimp tempura roll, a Philly roll, and a Lucky AF roll, while her husband got a teriyaki beef plate. I really liked everything I tried. We ate it so fast that I didn't get any pictures! We also enjoyed several drinks from the bar (my favorite was the blueberry lemonade). I can see why this place is so popular and I'll definitely be back.

    Stop by here on a whim and man it was so worth it! Great atmosphere from the moment you walk in. I sat at the bar and Christina took care of me. She was Knowledgeable and fun. I started with a new fashioned the Spicy Kani salad. This was so good and had a great spicy to it. They have fun names for their sushi rolls. I had the Wonder Woman and it was so fresh. When I come back up to Richmond I will come back here no questions asked.

    Vegan veg gyoza $7.50
    Mitasha P.

    Grilled miso calamari ($14.90) was good. They tried to spell "Lucky" with sriracha, but it kind of made the plating a little messy. Vegetable gyoza ($7.50) was seared well - had a crispy exterior and a soft, savory vegetable filling. They were quite busy, but we were able to get seating in their outdoor courtyard, which was decorated with East Asian vibes. Sapporo beer was $7 and their margarita was $8. Reasonable prices. Service was excellent. Our server was able to recommend other places to check out in the area.

    Toro nigiri
    Phoebe H.

    Perfect for a quick lunch. It wasn't too busy when we arrived around 1:45pm. Ordered a toro nigiri as it was on the special menu - the pieces were larger than expected which was nice. Also got the Lunch Maki #1 - so yummy. We added a side of spicy aioli and eel sauce for dipping the pieces.

    Happy hour menu
    Kevin D.

    Really great happy hour. Recommendations the galaga roll and the robin roll. The pho beef springs are also a nice to have

    Lucky AF is a great spot for lunch! My boyfriend & I were both very happy when we stopped in yesterday for a light lunch and had the bento boxes. I went for the teriyaki chicken and he chose the lucky shrimp. Love all that you get for $15 with a bento: miso soup, ginger salad, protein, fried rice, California roll, along with what was my favorite, the shrimp spring roll. The decor & vibes are trendy and intimate without being pretentious. Our server and the hostess were also incredibly nice!

    I came here on a Friday afternoon for lunch and got the Salmon Poke Bowl ($16). Food came out in about 15 minutes. I was warned prior about the size but when it came to the table I was amazed by the huge plate. There was a lot of food here. The sushi rice was season well and slightly sweet with a sesame taste. I chose between a chimichurri sauce and mixture of yum yum, soy, and siracha mayo. A surprisingly generous portion of salmon which did taste good. Staff was very friendly, but could've been much better with bill as we waited about 10 minutes when our meals were done. The inside is a bit small and the table are a bit close to each other to maximize customer. Overall I was surprised with the size and taste of the poke bowl, you get an amazing deal during lunch! It was one of the better poke bowls I've had. I'm definitely coming back again! Food(50%): 8.8 Staff/service(25%): 7.5 Value(25%): 9.5 Overall: 8.7/10

    Steamed Shrimp Shumai - came out hot and perfectly cooked.
    P.K. S.

    Such a cool spot! Exactly what you'd expect from a hipster RVA/Scott's Addition sushi bar. Dim lighting, amazing music, and inventive cocktails. Service was quick, attentive, and helpful in narrowing down the options. We went on a Friday night for happy hour and had no problem snagging a table around 5pm. The appetizers themselves are spectacular! The steamed shumai was perfectly cooked. The spicy edamame had a housemade chili sauce that I wish they'd bottle up and sell - it was SO flavorful. I'm a big sauce girl, and that was one of the most amazing tasting sauces. The lychee martini was good! I like sweet but this was really sweet if that's your jam, but refreshing nonetheless. My friend got the Writers Block mocktail, and it was better than mine! TBH, the sushi was just fine. Super fresh and delicious, but Akida or Osaka remain my go-to sushi spots in RVA.

I had only planned on spending $60 or so but ended up spending $140 including a great tip for my waiter. I got the Fried Chicken Banh Mi, Dan Dan Noodles, and my guest ordered the Brisket Pho, and Singapore noodles alongside a Mojito and their coconut ice cube drink (blanking on the name). I loved every bite of my food. The Daikon Radish was the highlight of the Banh Mi and I was in love with every bite. Visibly dancing and gleaming with joy while eating + the great music being played also helped. I didn't eat my sandwich until it got cold as I like to finish a dish before trying another. I started with the Dan Dan noodles and had to drink 3 of the liters of water by myself to finish my meal . I took my guest's peppers and my peppers and crushed them up into my Dan Dan plate with all the seeds that came with them. In addition I also used all the chili oil paste it came with as well. It was so damn great I enjoyed every second. My guest loved their pho and didn't stop eating it and ate half of their Singapore noodles before getting full and having to take it home. They absolutely loved their drinks and it was so fun to watch the bartender make the drinks. Two shakers in hand mixing the drinks and oh boy were they strong . We will definitely be back!!! Oh and they also had chopsticks for us to use and we ate our entire meal with them. I knew I was in for a whirlwind of flavor when the ethnicities of the cooks matched the restaurant and patrons of color from Pakistani, Black, Indian, Korean, Thai, and more were dining in . Only downsides for me personally were the Singapore noodles but it wasn't my dish. I tasted them and didn't think they were for me I usually prefer a different ratio of seasoning for my Singapore noodles. My guest whose favorite dish is Singapore noodles quite adored them. Though they did say the Singapore noodles I make at home are better they still crushed it and the next morning woke up and crushed the rest with a smile on the face . Only thing I didn't like was the pho but that's my personal taste getting in the way. I don't like fish based broths but my guest ate every single last dropped and loved it! So if that's your alley go for it!!! 10/10 will try again!!! P.S. please tip the staff graciously they work so hard. If you're going to order a $100 worth of food don't be the person not tipping or tipping $10 when the service was excellent. Yes tipping cultures shouldn't exist but until they're paid a fair wage please continue to do so. I really hope this restaurant doesn't sell out like other restaurants (En Su Boca )

Parking is available on the side, or you can usually find street parking nearby. I really liked the industrial atmosphere, especially the swings, but we ended up sitting closer to the bar area.

Pad Thai - 4/5 The flavors and spice level were balanced really well. Pla Muk Tod (Calamari) - 4/5 Good overall, but I wasn't a big fan of the dipping sauce.

I noticed a discrepancy between the amount on my receipt and what was actually charged to my card. It may have only been a small difference, but that's not acceptable under any circumstance. A dollar here or there adds up, and it raises real concerns when it appears to be a pattern. I had intentionally left a cash tip to ensure it went directly to my server, not through the business. Fortunately, I kept my receipt after hearing about similar situations happening before. When my statement came in, the charge didn't match. I called the restaurant to resolve the issue, and the floor manager said someone from management or accounting would follow up. Over a week later, I never received a call. I ended up disputing the charge with my bank. What should have been a nice Friday night dinner ended on a frustrating note. Unfortunately, that's what made the experience memorable--and not in a good way.
