    Lunch Duck Fat Scallion Pancake Wrap
    Thi D.

    Scallion pancake, wagyu beef dip, and hokkaido milk ice cream are all good and we'd order again. Nice atmosphere, located inside an office building.

    Lucky Star is an adorable, casual, and fun spot. Waiters were kind, and let me keep one of the card board coasters for my journal! Everything we ordered came out so deliciously! We will 100% be going back! Our personal favorite was the Black Pepper Wagyu and Noodle from their brunch menu.

    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. This is such a perfect date idea and I could recommend it more. You're Welcome.

    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.

    *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.

    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.

    I've never been to a place that made drinks the way they made drinks here. It was truly an experience. I tried food. I've never tried before and I definitely will be back. I love the vibes here! The service was 10/10

    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!

    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.

    Beef noodle soup
    Nina K.

    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.

    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.

    Went here with a friend a couple weeks ago. We went on a Wednesday evening. We did make reservations, but it wasn't too crowded when we showed up. We got the scallion pancake and the sichuan beef noodles. The pancake is a must! Great service and cool vibe. They do validate parking!

    The dessert pop up - bubble gum ice cream

    We came got the dessert pop-up. But we got the happy hour chicken sandwich and it was great! Only gripe would be for more sweet potato fries but it was only happy hour. And next time I'd order extra spicy aoli. The server (forgot her name) was nice and attentive. The pop-up was slow to get up and going and that was the only delay. 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.

The entrance code can be obtained from their website or local hotel concierges. Dial the number on the antique phone and the door magically opens. The staff super friendly and helpful. The bartenders are the best, clearly passionate about their work. I highly encourage you to try one or several of their signature cocktails. I sampled the Left Bank Martini and Vesper. As expected they are fully stocked with Pappy Bourbon, hard to find Amaro Noni. Ask a bartender about the ice block. The place is spacious unlike other speakeasys I've been to.

I sat at the bar and had a little light banter with the bartender who is a brother looking to be in his late 30's-early 40's. When I asked about two fruity cocktails from the menu, he flat-out said he wasn't going to make them. That alone was off-putting. Trying to move forward, I asked what he specialized in, and he said he'd "come up with something." I agreed--but very clearly stated: no rum, because my body does not react well to it. After watching him make drinks for people who ordered after me, he eventually handed me a cocktail I never even saw him prepare. That already raised a flag. I took a few sips, and sure enough--my stomach immediately started reacting the exact way it does when I've had rum. When I asked what alcohol he used, he said, "I don't even know." That response alone tells you everything you need to know. At that point, I reminded him I specifically said no rum. Instead of taking accountability, he tried to argue and backtrack. Let me be clear--when a customer tells you not to use a specific liquor, you don't ignore it, guess, or "forget." That's basic service and basic respect. This situation completely threw off my evening, as I had plans afterward and ended up feeling sick. To make matters worse, I reached out to management and received no response. That lack of accountability speaks volumes. At the end of the day, this wasn't just a bad drink--it was careless service. This staff does not prioritize customer care, and that's a problem. If you choose to visit, be very direct, pay close attention, and don't assume your requests will be respected.

The presentation of the drink was very nice and it had a good creamy flavor to it. This drink was a nice way to wind down the evening. As someone from TX, I did think the drinks were a bit on the pricey side but it's not surprising with it being the ritz.

Unfortunately, when we ordered another at 10:40... we were told they had closed which was frustrating.
