Great food, my siblings and I all enjoyed it. The soy cutlets were our favorite appetizer, highly recommend those. All our entrees were tasty as well. Our favorites were the orange chicken and general tso’s protein. I have a large appetite but I left satisfied. The place is dimly lit, and a little small but no complaints. I would definitely go here for lunch if I was in the area

Came for lunch and it became my favorite vegan spot in NYC! The lunch set was super affordable and came with a lot of food. Would totally recommend the general tsos and sweet and sour tofu. The vegan dishes are amazing and this place has the meatiest tofu I've ever tasted! Will definitely be back next time I'm in New York.

I really enjoyed my experience here!I ordered the pad Thai and some dumplings — both were super tasty. The pad Thai especially came in a huge portion, so much so that I couldn’t finish it (which honestly made me a bit sad!The whole menu is fully vegan, which makes it a great spot for plant-based eaters.The only thing that felt a little off was the music — if I remember correctly, they were playing something like rap, which didn’t really match the calm, pan-Asian vegan vibe of the place imo :)It’s not a big deal at all, and definitely not something that would stop me from coming again.Overall, I left happy and would absolutely go back!

This was our first time trying LuAnne’s and it was a great experience. The place is super cute and the staff is really nice. We LOVED the eggplant in sweet basil sauce, the pad thai, and the mango soy in garlic plum sauce (both sweet and saucy and delicious). The pho was also really good but there was a lot of noodles for the amount of broth. The mango raw thai salad was not our favorite but not bad and we didn’t like the stir fried prosperity platter - it was a little bland. Would definitely come again and try different things!

A great dinner at Asian-vegan, LuAnne’s Wild Ginger, in Soho.We shared several small plates: grilled miso eggplant, BBQ seitan skewers, summer rolls, and scallion pancakes.This is one of the best vegan meals I’ve ever had. And the service is excellent too.
