I did a take away order and the food was ready as soon as I walked in the door. Service was fast! I had the mango protein dish and it was not overly sweet so I really appreciated that. Everything was very fresh and just absolutely delicious. Cute little spot. Would definitely return!

A decent lunch deal with an entre, soup and pumpkin. They offer brown rice option which is always good. I wouldn't go out if the way but a definite yes if I were in the neighborhood.

An underrated hidden gem in Nolita. I'm not vegan, but have been coming here for years (#1 comfort fare) and stopping by was a priority on a trip back to NYC. My husband commented that it was the most unique food we had during our stay--i.e. something we can't get elsewhere. Favorite dishes are the cold green tea noodles, fried soy protein, and peanut butter bundt cake. Thank you Wild Ginger for still being here after all this time!

Bibimbap..Bibimbap..Bibimbap!!! Say it three times fast!!! It's a tongue twister for sure! My palate decided to be adventurous on my recent lunch in Soho. I started walking down Broome Street and in limbo between Little Italy and Chinatown. Talk about a "fork" in the road. I decided to follow my palate and the fork guided me to Wild Ginger. I had never dined on Asian Vegan before. I was seated and studied the menu: Seitan ? Is it like tofu? Sorta.. mimics the taste of chicken. The menu dazzled me: Eggplant? Pho? Salad? Pineapple fried rice? Then I saw Bibimbap and knew my nephew raves about this dish. I decided to be daring and asked to omit the kimchi. I'll be more daring another day. I took in the atmosphere and loved the curtains and white brick walls and bamboo shade lamps. The restaurant is small but cozy. My iced green tea arrived first and it tasted freshly made, simply delicious. Then my bowl of bibimbap: coconut rice, seitan , black and green seaweed, avocado, mango salsa, spinach and adzuki beans (red mung bean) .I must say beautiful presentation! I picked up my metal chopsticks ( practice, practice!) and mixed well and added peanut dressing. I went for the seitan first which far away, looks like raw tuna. The taste? I really can't describe it but it was very tasty. The mix of veggies, salsa, avocado and coconut rice was very interesting and delicious. There are other delicious dishes to explore: eggplant with string beans, Malaysian curry stew and General Tso's soy. There are lunch specials up until 3 pm, service is sweet and professional. I had a bit of questions about bibimbap and my server was kind and patient in answering. Well next time you face a " fork" in the road and find yourself between two continents, take Fawn's path: Asia for lunch and Italy for dessert.. I ordered a cappuccino to go from Caffe Roma across the street. Who says you can't have the best of both worlds?

This was a great spot for Chinese and southeast Asian food. We had bo bun noodle salad, Malaysian curry stew, eggplant and string beans, and a pot of kukicha tea. The bo bun noodle salad was my favorite - the sauce was sweet and fresh, and I loved the texture on the imitation meat. The eggplant dish was also fantastic, with a great sweet and garlicky sauce. The curry was nothing special, but still decent. The food came out with pretty impressive speed.

Made a reservation for a Thursday night. We got in right on time and we're seated immediately at a table with my name on it! It was not busy. We took our time ordering and no one rushed us which we appreciated. They have quite a few options. We weren't super hungry so we decided to order a few items then order more later in the meal if it made sense to. Appetizers 4/5 Steamed Vegetable Dumplings - the skin is a little soft, clearly was just steamed. They could have taken this out a few minutes sooner. The filling is really good. I don't even miss meat fillings with this haha. 4/5 King Oyster Mushrooms - the little pieces of jalapeno and peppers were SO flavorful. Def my favorite part. The mushroom was also good, they were fried well but the mushroom pieces were a little bigger than I would have liked. They didn't taste like anything once I bit into them. I think smaller pieces would have helped with that. Entree 3.5/5 Kimchee Yaki-Udon - saucy! So much sauce in this dish, way more than I was expecting. I thought this would be drier bc I was expecting stir fry. I don't think there was actual kimchee in the dish but the flavor of it was there. Pretty good amount of veggies. The interior is so cute!! Its dimly lit inside and very cozy, like I'm home on a winter night. Even after we finished our meal and paid, we continued to sit and chat while our friend slowly sipped on the sake she ordered. The staff never pushed us to leave and it was a slow night. This was a really lovely experience. All the food was good and so was the sake (at such a good price too!). Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a good vegan place.

It's been about a year and I'm still in love with LuAnne. Yesterday was my fourth time and it honestly keeps getting better! We had a pot of jasmine green tea, which was the perfect temperature and stayed hot throughout our meal. We started with the fried dumplings and wontons (which had a vegan cheddar that I was unsure of at first, but, together with the spinach made for the perfect wonton!) I think they must put something addictive in the soy sauce because it's unlike any other I've ever had. So good! We licked our appetizer plates clean then out came the main attraction. Call us creatures of habit but we ordered the same dishes we've gotten the other three times- Pad Thai and General Tsoys. Heaven. On. Earth. I'm not one to eat everything on my plate, but there's never any leftovers after a trip to LuAnne's. We've yet to be disappointed and I can't wait to return!
