Free 2hr parking validation in the parking garage. Service was great and staff were welcoming and gave great recommendations! Lots of seating at tables and at the bar. The gan mian "dry noodles" were good with the right amount of seasoning without being salty. Nice balance of the meat sauce and veggies. Sausage in sausage as okay. My favorite was the beef shank scallion wrap. Outside was crisp and the beef was tender and well flavored in the sauce. I would come back just for this! read more

I was excited to try this Michelin Guide Taiwanese restaurant, but was quite disappointed when I tried the food. I didn't take a picture of everything, but we got the Lu Rou Fan, Sweet Potato Fries, Sizzling Eggplant, Honey Glazed Chicken, and Beef Pancakes. I had high expectations for the classic Lu Rou Fan, but was left with a lack of flavor and actually not much meat or sauce. The quality was decent of the ingredients were good, but I was not impressed by the dish. The honey glazed chicken was an exciting new addition to their menu, but turned out to be a slab of fried chicken breast that no one should pay $18 for. All the flavor in the the eggplant dish went into the mushrooms and it was a bit too charred. The Beef Shank Scallion Pancake Wrap was fine, but served at room temperature rather than with freshly made pancake. The best thing here were the sweet potato fries, but at a Taiwanese restaurant, that's not what I'm going for. It's nice they validate parking, but I don't think I'll be back here. read more

Service- you scan a QR code on your phone for the menu. Not preferable for a restaurant with such high regard but I understand times are changing. The server herself was very kind and very attentive the whole way through and she explained the menu with great precision. Parking- if you park in their parking deck they will validate your ticket for 2 hours. Ambience- we went around dinner time and the restaurant is characterized by a very open concept space with low lighting sprinkled throughout and the usage of these tall long thick curtains help to contain the warm lighting within the space. The curtains are also used to presumably hide the entrance to the kitchen and by hiding the kitchen it sort of feels like that much more of a mysterious, sultry, and calm experience. Duck fat scallion pancake- simple, wonderful crisp, light onion flavor, a little greasy, but a wonderful starter. Sweet potato fries- thick cut Japanese sweet potato battered in a very crispy tempura-like batter dusted with ume/plum seasoning. The crisp on these fries was spectacular, very crunchy outside but a soft fry in the middle. The size and texture reminded me a lot of a Yuca fry actually. And then we asked for an extra side of the plum seasoning for dipping purposes. The plum seasoning was not what I expected- it was a sweet, very fine powder, almost like powdered sugar. When I think of plum, I was expecting Japanese pickled plum seasoning which is salty and briny and a little sweet. This was almost entirely just a sweet powder. It complimented the fries well but I can't help but feel like a more savory and salty seasoning would have paired better. Sichuan dry beef noodle- this was amazing. The beef was super super tender it almost melts in your mouth and has a wonderful savory flavor that really shines. And then the noodles underneath (we asked for thick noodles but you can also get thin) were thick almost like an udon but with more of a handmade texture that allowed the noodles to really hold onto the chili oil sauce. Overall, super flavorful dish that was hot and comforting and reminded me a lot of the flavor profile of a spicy beef stew. Braised pork belly over rice- another amazing dish. This was incredibly savory and the mixture of the tender pork belly with the pickled vegetables and the perfectly jammy egg made for a perfect bite. Black sesame tang yuan- this was the star dish in my opinion. I've never had a dessert with so many interesting flavor and texture and temperature elements. The tang yuan is a warm soft chewy sesame paste filled rice cake that offers a wonderful burst of nuttiness that contrasts super well with the creamy ice cream and the crunch from the candied peanut and the crispy shell. We were told the ice cream is actually Parmesan flavored- and while it sounds intimating, the flavor was super mild and it was almost akin to a frozen yogurt soft serve where there's a bit of tang but not overwhelming at all. And the cilantro just adds a perfect amount of savory. It's hard to explain but it's such a wonderful summer dessert that enmeshes savory and sweet with almost a Thai-like flavor profile perfectly. As for the cocktails, my friends and I prefer sweet cocktails so keep that in mind when I say that the daju kiss and the herbal harmony are very alcohol forward drinks. These are not drinks where the alcohol takes a back seat to the other flavors of the drink. Personally, they were too strong for me but that's a personal thing. The tomato tonic was a non alcoholic beverage choice that was really enjoyable because it offered the perfect amount of savory subtly tomato essence that wasn't overwhelming like a Bloody Mary. It was like a tomato flavored lacroix basically. read more

Have been curious about this spot but it was really mid. Went for lunch and cafe drinks. Totally empty on a saturday afternoon. Their fried chicken sandwich was decent but their ume tomato salad was way too sweet/had added powder sugar, and my matcha latte had chunks as it wasn't sifted properly. Staff is really nice and welcoming, but given that there was never more than one other party the whole time we were there, the food came out incredibly slow. The positives are that the interiors are cute and they validate parking, but I think they really need to work on their cafe/lunch menu, and service speed. read more

Really cool place, great ambience for late night eats and drinks. Tried the oysters and scallion pancake, both were ok. Sausage in sausage was good, I like the rice sausage part of it. Beef noddle soup was also ok. Got the fried chicken sandwich which was really tender but my favorite thing here is their sweet potato fries with plum powder. Very good. I also really loved their black sesame tang yuan ice cream. It is such a wonderful take on my favorite Taiwanese dessert, the ice cream burrito! I love this. So cute and wonderfully executed. I really like the crispy outside of the tang yuan and the chewy inside with the sweet black sesame filling along with the hokkaido milk ice cream and delicious cilantro and peanut powder. read more

Such a cute place with delicious food. I would have liked a little bigger portion but it was delicious. I got the lu Rou Fan and it was so delicious I just wish there was more meat and less rice. My date got the 3 cup chicken and loved it. Drinks were delicious I got the yuzu old fashioned. Want to come back soooo bad for the cocktails omakase but you have to reserve it in advance read more

Lucky star is ALMOST there but there are a few dings to my rating that may be different depending on when you visit and how busy they are maybe. Food, was interesting and tasty! Not stand out for me but also the bar is so impressive that it is hard to compete I fear. I had some of the most creative & intriguing cocktails I have probably ever had. From flavors like sour plum, black sesame, and coffee that is clear...there was no shortage of complex profiles to try. I wish I could remember all of the cocktails, but the points are off for how long it took to get each cocktail. It seems that since these cocktails have so many different ingredients & garnish, it causes a true backup for the one bartender we had, although he was very nice and was definitely moving as fast as one could. All in all, I'll be back for a cocktail for sure and to try more bites since it's right up my alley for type of cuisine. read more

My friends and I enjoyed Lucky Hour on a Friday night. It was easy to secure a reservation for 4 on open table. We enjoyed the dj spinning that night and watching a little soccer too. We enjoyed sharing the duck scallion pancakes and sausage sandwiches. I tried the martini flight and lemon pepper chicken sandwich. Everything was delicious! I really appreciated the easy way to split bill via online site. read more

This spot was such an unexpected find the first time I went. It's tucked away but they do a good job of pushing out flavorful dishes from that kitchen window. At this point I have tried a few of their menu offerings with some being more favorites and others being newcomers for me. Things I really enjoyed included the Duck Fat Scallion Pancake, Three Cup Chicken, Garlic Black Pepper Edamame, Sichuan Beef Dry Noodle, and the Dark & Lovely. Once it a while an item can be a bit of a miss since the menu changes from time to time, but usually there are some pretty solid options here. read more

So I was here for the Cocktail omakase so I can only speak on that experience. Do I recommend? 5/5. Such a unique and fun experiment. The bartenders were really engaging and very fun. It was a Small group maybe about 6/7 of us. We did the cocktail omakase as well as the good pairing and it was such a great choice. The portion sizes were great and tasted amazing.

4/5 on food, 3 on service this visit. We ordered 飯糰 (I think they call it rice burrito lol) and 葱油餅 (scallion pancake). Big fan that they included pickled veg and a decent amount of pork floss. They used purple rice, which was cute in theory, but I wish they used the traditional stickier short grain. The scallion pancake itself was good - I just wish the sauces were on the side. Ton of beef in the pancake, tho some of it was too fatty to eat. Service was nice as always, but really slow today and our food was kinda cold by the time it got to us. Would still recommend this place tho! read more

Taiwanese food made very accessible. We enjoyed our lunch experience at Lucky Star. I chose this over the other Taiwanese choices due to location and our itinerary. I ordered the classic braised pork over rice. While I enjoyed the beautiful tea egg and pork, I wish there were more pork. Too bad the lunch offerings are limited. Hubby liked the beef sandwich. It is made w mild 5 spice braised beef, with more juice for dipping. Lucky Star is in a very modern, open space inside a business/ residential building. The designated parking (fee) is directly underneath restaurant. read more

*Happy Hour Review* Hours are 4-6 everyday (yes, that means weekends too). The menu is on their website. They validate parking. The drinks are fantastic. Only issue was we had to send the bill back, we were charged full price. The fried chicken sandwich was the only food item on the menu worth the money ($10!) The sweet potato fries were great, but the sandwich literally came with like 6 or 8 fries. We saw a side order of the fries at another table and were glad we didn't order that for another $7. I'm not even sure it was a full potato's worth of fries. The mini Lu rou fan was good but it was truly mini for $8. The service wasn't great. Seems they had only one person working the bar and restaurant service and a maitre'd/hostess on FOH. read more

I stumbled into Luck Star curious and intrigued by its vibe and drink selection having some downtime in the area. The place itself has a chill aesthetic, but service-wise, things started a little slow. There were three servers, and although I was acknowledged early, it took a while before anyone actually took my order. When I asked about Japanese whisky, my server genuinely looked like it was the first time he had seen that section on the drink menu. Not the most confidence-inspiring moment, but the bartender was friendly and willing to explore with me. I ordered the Akashi Ume Plum whisky -- neat with a single ice cube. The bartender admitted it was his first time pulling it off the shelf. Right away, the whisky had a potent alcohol smell and a clear fermented funk to it, but to my surprise, it was incredibly smooth. It warmed my stomach instantly but went down without any burn. I let it sit on my tongue to break down the flavors -- definitely plum-forward, with an earthy sweetness and subtle floral undertones that leaned almost dessert-like. To complement it, I ordered what I believe was a seasonal crème brûlée croissant, and WOW. I would fight someone for this pastry. Rich, creamy, and with an authentic brûléed sugar crunch on top -- it was perfect with the whisky. The pairing felt accidental but magical. Although the croissant took a bit to arrive, it was absolutely worth the wait. Side note: the pour of whisky wasn't just a shot -- it filled half a glass and packed serious strength with every sip, so I had to pace myself. While sitting at the bar, I also learned about their Cocktail Omakase experience -- a 2-hour curated tasting for $90 via Resy. Watching others go through it was enough to convince me I'm coming back just for that. All together it was $25, which for a generously poured drink and a big ass sweet was well worth it and made an hour of free time fly by in a blink. read more

I had the opportunity to date and dine at Lucky Star and was not disappointed. The food, ambiance, and seating was just what I need to enjoy happy hour and some Taiwanese comfort food. When my wife decided to choose this, she shocked me with her loud exclamation of "OOOO I've been wanting to try this place!" Our waitress was attentive and gave great recommendations. She was just on board as we were with our choices and gave great feedback to help us anticipate the deliciousness to come. Although the happy hour menu was small it delivered on the flavor. The Island Bird cocktail was tart but paired well with the heaviness of the Mini Lu Rou Fan and brightened up the Murder Point Oysters (the sauce toppings elevated this to the max). We also had the Taiwanese Fried Chicken Sandwich which was enough for two people. I swear that it was just a whole chicken flattened and fried to perfection. The sweet potato fries that accompanied this dish were just the right amount and had a great balance of flavor of crispiness. Along with this were the Duck Fat Scallion Pancakes and Three Cup Chicken or should I say "Three Cup Heaven." I wish I didn't have to say that this meal was satisfying enough for me to just pass out on the nice and cushy seats with pillows but yeah... On top of this, I got the Crème Brûlée Croissant which would've made my day with a cup of their hot coffee. If you need a pick me up or something that leaves you cozy and happy, give Lucky Star a try. Happy Hour time is the best time! read more

I've come here several times for the assortment of lattes and matcha offerings so we decided to come back for dinner and left disappointed. We arrived around 6:22 for our 6:30, typically Lucky Star is busy and there is a hostess greeting you at the desk but it was oddly bare which made for an awkward start. After a couple of mins we were told to grab a spot at any open table and someone would be with us shortly. Candidly that took a min as well, it seemed as if everyone was occupied with the omakase cocktail experience, which seems pretty cool. Once our waitress came over, we ordered a couple of things to share which included the Lychee Jasmine Americano and Yuzu Matcha Float for drinks and Beef Scallion Pancake Wrap, Oysters, 3g Caviar and Wagyu Black Pepper Steak for the food. The drinks were amazing per usual - but the food fell short. Despite the emptiness of the restaurant, while very good the Beef Scallion Pancake Wrap was lukewarm at best. I enjoyed the oysters but they were the last thing to come out to the table. We realized the waitress never asked the steak temp preference- when we asked, she mentioned they only serve it medium or well done and it definitely came out on the well done side which is a bit of a turnoff considering we prefer our steaks medium rare. It's pretty fatty and I don't think it serves 4, maybe comfortably 2 people. The caviar was a complete waste, it tasted metallic, so I assume something metal was used to serve. It's really a cute spot; parking is validated for 2hrs in the deck below. Once they got the music going, it's got a great vibe and moody in the best ways. Overall Lucky Star is cool for drinks and potentially pastries or desserts but I would not recommend going to dinner with the intention of feeling complete; we ended up heading to another restaurant for dinner. read more

I gave this restaurant 3 star because of the following; Food: meh. I had the beef noodle soup and my husband had the cold sesame noodle and we both agreed that the dishes were mediocre at best. The presentation was amazing but both dishes lacks flavor. Drinks: the drinks were great. We recommend the purified tomato with tonic. Interesting concept of purifying the tomato so the drink is clear and not red. Price: the prices were decent for the area. Ambience: it was nice and chill for Sunday afternoon. Overall,This place is super cute with friendly staff, but the food wasn't that great. I would come back to sit at the bar, but wouldn't eat here again. read more

Super pretty new Asian fusion spot in Westside! We came for a group dinner and overall enjoyed the experience! The ambiance, service, and drinks were all fantastic, the only thing I would say could improve is some of the food. They also validate parking for 2 hours in the deck which is nice since parking in the area is a nightmare. We decided to do family style where we shared a few things. * Scallion pancakes: so good! Always a classic and love it when it's done well * 3 cup chicken: also would recommend! Flavor was great and definitely my favorite of the 3 dinner entrees * Lu rou fan: good but not even close to my family's version which has more umami flavor and wayyy more sauce! But I'm biased and the rest of the table liked it haha * beef noodle soup: the worst dish that we got! The table agreed it was flavorless so it was super disappointing. Overall I'd rate the food here a 3/5, but everything else that makes up the restaurant experience was great so I'm bumping the review to a 4/5! read more

Ambiance, with nice lighting and well-matched furniture, is swanky and upscale. The waitress told us she would bring out the menus, but ended up plopping a hilarious wood trapezoid on the table displaying a QR code. Definitely an unexpected sight. I'm in the boat of people who want a physical menu at a restaurant so this was a bit tragic. Strong start with the duck fat scallion pancake, with its satisfying layers and deep flavor. While it became a bit too salty on my 4th piece, the sauce was tangy and sweet, a great accompaniment to the savory pancake. All went downhill during the entrees though. The braised pork portion was absurdly miniscule. If you were to sum up the entirety of the pork, you could maybe create one piece of pork that was a 1 inch by 1 inch cube. I wish I was joking but I'm not. For $16 I would expect at least 7 times that amount of meat. Plus the sauce was extremely one-noted and just tasted salty. It was a real shame because the cucumbers, mustard greens, and soft boiled egg were excellent atop the fluffy rice. My boyfriend's spicy beef noodles were also a letdown. While the beef was tender, the sauce on the noodles tasted chemical-like and borderline inedible. The pineapple cake flavored ice cream was delicious though. Rich texture, almost like custard, with chunks of shortbread and pineapple purée. Portion size was sizable too. Might have to come back just for dessert next time read more

We visited Lucky Star in Atlanta on a Thursday night to celebrate a birthday dinner for two. Since it was a weekday, the restaurant was fairly slow, but the service was attentive. Our servers checked on us periodically and were great about clearing and cleaning the table after each dish, which we appreciated. Although each dish was considered small plates, we left full and stomachs well fed. We ordered quite a spread: beef shank scallion pancake, sausage in a sausage, sizzling eggplant & basil, Lu Rou Fan (braised pork belly over rice), beef noodle soup, and black sesame tang yuan, along with a couple of cocktails (Lucky Rabbit and 5th Fruit). The cocktails were fine but didn't really stand out or leave much of an impression. The standout dish for us was easily the sizzling eggplant & basil. It arrived extremely hot and was packed with explosive flavors! The taste actually reminded us of pad ka pao, which we loved. The beef shank scallion pancake was also very good, though ours could have been served a bit hotter as it was slightly brought out cold. That said, the paired sauces were delicious and really elevated the dish. The beef noodle soup would be a hit if you enjoy beef pot roast-style flavors: rich, comforting, and hearty. The Lu Rou Fan was another strong dish; the pork belly was delicious, and I was pleasantly surprised that the mustard greens ended up being my favorite part. Unfortunately, a couple of items missed the mark. The sausage in a sausage wasn't anything special, and the rice inside felt undercooked, leaving a crunchy, chewy texture that took away from the dish. The black sesame tang yuan was just okay for me. The dish had way too much cilantro for my liking, which overpowered the black sesame mochi flavor. On the plus side, the peanuts paired really well with the Hokkaido milk ice cream. Overall, we enjoyed our experience at Lucky Star. There were some really great dishes and solid service, with a few misses holding it back from a full 5 stars. I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu and be back for brunch and lunch options. read more

Fresh off the plane from TPE I was excited to try the new lucky star. Very disappointed. The limited menu is fine, but I expected everything to be the best version of each item. That was not the case. Started with the oyster omelette. No thank you. Bean sprouts were raw; oysters were not in actual omelette; it tasted extremely fishy and it was $18! Next, scallion pancake was probably the best item I had. Just done well but $1 for soy sauce. That's crazy. A bottle is $2. We also had the beef noodle soup. It was fine, but better to be found on Buford highway. Drinks were the best part. Hibiscus was yummy. I will say service was great. The hostess was lovely as was everyone who served us. Definitely make a reservation. Restaurant is in the Star office building. read more

The standout of this location is the location itself. A beautiful and spacious layout. We went pretty early in the day and only one person was sitting inside so I'll definitely be back to work. The coffees were pretty small, but concentrated with pretty solid flavor. I had an iced oat latte with simple syrup. They don't offer vanilla, just honey and simple syrup. I didn't get a picture of the croissant but this is one of the best croissant I've had in a while. Very buttery and flaky. I'll be back to check out some other options on the menu.! read more

Came here on a weekend morning to try their pastries and drinks. I would say the service was okay, confusing concept. You can sit and they come to your table I think? It took some time and they didn't bring any utensils or straws so we still had to self serve anyways. The matcha was pretty good and I could tell they used ceremonial grade but for the price I was hoping they'd fill the cup up. The picture was before I even took a sip out of it. The egg tart was $6 and it came out cold! Not like sitting out cold but like from the fridge cold. We also thought the mocha cinnamon bun was small and the we couldn't really taste the cinnamon. Our favorite was the regular croissant. It was pretty flakey and good. They also do not validate parking here! I would say the prices are a little too steep and not really worth purposely coming to. Their food prices were even crazier! read more

I want to go back and check out the other food. The pop up was just ok and not as cool as the December one. And got $17/dessert (we got 2 different ones) it wasn't worth it. read more

Lucky Star - The dessert pop up - bubble gum ice cream - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I recently had brunch and it was a very disappointing and frustrating dining experience. First, the whole restaurant was only staffed with two workers at the front of the house, one making the drinks and the other one serving and hosting. Both moved at a slow and unhurried pace that would rival the pace of a snail. We waited 15 minutes for one beverage and then waited another 20 minutes for our food to be delivered. The worst part was that I saw our food sitting in the food window for at least 10 minutes, and the server glanced at it and did not even bother to bring it to our table. In the meanwhile, she was making cocktails for the other patrons at a very slow pace. I even went up and asked the other worker where our food was, knowing that it was sitting in the window dying and he just casually said "we'll bring it out when it's ready". To that I responded, "there's a lot of food in your window", and he didn't even bother to acknowledge that or look at the food window. We finally got our food when the cook brought the food to our table because there was no more room in the food window for him to put any newly prepared food. I even saw the cook refill waters at a later point in time. Needless to say, the food was barely lukewarm by the time we ate it. The food was just OK and lukewarm food is even worse. I have no intention of ever returning to this restaurant since the food is definitely not worth the wait. The only good part of this experience is that the server gave us a 50% discount on our tab, but it should've been 100% off. I only regret that Yelp does not have zero star as part of the rating system because one star is way too generous for this restaurant. read more

The inside at night is very cute but I think that's all the positives I'm able to give. We tried a few items and 2 coffees. Duck Fat Scallion pancake: came out weirdly... room temperature? Like it's just been sitting out. It was also pretty tasteless Three cup chicken: it's a sautéed chicken and rice dish. It's soooooo salty. Winter lucky star: this is a coffee with earl grey caramel and orange cream. It was okay. Service: Our server was super nice. But not sure if she forgot our order or maybe the kitchen did because we ordered the oyster omelette and it never arrived but I guess that was a good thing since the other 2 dishes was a dud. read more

We ordered the food to go. Overall, we enjoyed our food. The Lu Rou fan was good but the portion is too small for the price. We've had better though. The scallion pancakes were good. We really enjoyed the sauce it came with. The fried chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries were very delicious. Definitely worth getting. The strawberry matcha needed more strawberry but it was a good matcha latte. The orange cold foam caramel earl grey latte was ok. It had good orange flavor but couldn't tell it was earl grey tea. If we returned, we would get the chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries again. We're interested in trying the scallion pancake wraps since the scallion pancakes were good. read more

It was definitely not what I was expecting! It is basically an "open air" restaurant in an office building. There is plenty of seating. The design is tres chic. The reception at the counter was a little cool but the waitress who brought me my snacks was very friendly. The drinks and the food are Taiwanese-influenced. I ordered their seasonal drink - which was divine. I ordered the ume tomato salad - which was refreshing- and the scallion pancake - which was just okay. (There are a number of restaurants on BuHi that offer a better version of the dish.) I got lucky with street parking because it was midday but during prime hours, parking could be challenging/pricy. I would definitely go back - and maybe try a couple of the other food items. read more
