    This place is great. We live nearby and eat here relatively frequently. We've also ordered from them through seamless and the food always arrives incredibly fast. I really like the pumpkin tempeh seaweed bowl, the Malaysian curry stew, and the chocolate peanut butter cake for dessert.

    This is the kind of place that makes you want to stop people on the street and tell them to go here. It’s that good!! My trip to New York is six nights and I’ve come here two of them. The menu is so creative and there’s something for everyone. Healthy bowls, hearty ramen, and fun appetizers. The service is fast and the ambiance is very pleasant, I’m tapping my toe to some light jazz music as we speak. Love this place, will come back again and again!

    I loved it here! I was only there for a short time so I need to go back for a full meal and experience but the service was great and the little bit of food I had was delicious. My second time going to one of the locations but will be going back again. Love the food so much! Vegan approved 👌🏽!

    I came here with friends, and it was a nice experience for a vegan restaurant. I got the pineapple fried rice dish and we all ordered a bunch of appetizers together. Prices were Fair the service was great and overall nice ambience too. Some of the photos I posted were taken after we started picking out from the plate LOL.

    Came here for lunch being in the area with my sister who is vegan. I had the Pumpkin Gumbo. It smelled great, looked great, tasted even better. Had a passion fruit iced tea, couldn't taste the passion fruit but passion fruit is my favorite fruit so I always want an over load of it whenever it's a menu item. The service was really good, very pleasant and attentive throughout.

    Always a good time for vegans and those trying to cut down on meat products. Still can't quite figure out the protein dishes, wish they had photos in the menu! That said, everything was awesome. The soba/kale dish came cold, so that was a surprise. The lychee mojitos were very sweet and didn't seem to have enough alcohol. Also, wish they had more dessert options, they only had one available!

    We had the lunch special which for $15 comes with a choice between miso soup or a salad and a spring roll or a slice of steamed pumpkin. There is also a choice with some of the mains to have white rice or a mix of black, red and brown rice. I had the salad, pumpkin, the "Prosperity Platter" (tofu and vegetables) main course and the whole grain rice mix. The salad wasn't that good and I didn't care for the dressing either but the pumpkin was tasty. The mixed rice was good and the Prosperity Platter was okay. The service was fine and our orders came out quickly.

    Great food that is also vegetarian. Highly recommend: service, food, quickness were all excellent. If you like pho you should try it here: so good! Yaki stir fry, veggie dumplings also very good. Definitely a nice lunch spot.

    This is my favorite vegan restaurant. The dishes and flavors are so creative and robust. Our favorite was the bipimbap which we spilt. We also had the miso eggplant appetizer which came with four pieces total. We loved it so much we went back the following night! That night we split the summer rolls, which were a delicious raw option. I got the udon which was mind blowing. We also split the match cheesecake which was the best vegan dessert I've ever had. 100% would recommend.

    Stopped in for an early dinner before a concert and were very pleased with this vegan gem. We started with fresh summer rolls and a tasty pumpkin soup, followed by mango raw Thai salad and pineapple fried rice. Everything was delicious, the service was fast and friendly, and the prices reasonable. Well worth a short drive from lower Manhattan or most Brooklyn neighborhoods.

    Tried steamed dumplings and orange seitan. Rice side with the orange seitan is good too. Nice taste. Good place for vegan food.

    When you looking for a delicious vegan meal, LuAnne's Wild Ginger is the right place to go for you! They have an amazing variety of dishes which you can choose from I decided to have the dumplings as a start. They were a great taste. For the entree I choose the House Bi-Bimbap. I have just one word for it.... AMAZING!!!! They have the right amount of each ingredient, combined with a great multigrain rice. Even I was full and satisfied, I couldn't resist and try the chocolate cake. It is delicious and a huge portion. I had to take it home which allowed me to enjoy it another day. The current outdoor setup is great. They have separated places for each party (up to 4 people). You should check this place out, when you have the chance!

    Pretty good. Sweet & sour tofu was really good. However the tofu in my aunt's stir-fry wasn't amazing. It seems like it wasn't marinated so it tasted a little cardboardish. But overall, really good!! The tea we got was the Red Lavender Rose and it was so yummy!! Everything is vegan & pretty good

    Great vegan place with a nice ambiance. Food was amazing. We had the spinach filled fried wonton, seitan BBQ skewers and sizzling soy cutlet platter. Everything tasted good and wasn't heavy. Would come back again!

    Great food! We came here with a friend who we were visiting from out of town because she loves this place and eats here all the time— so glad she brought us here! I wish we could have tried everything and I can’t wait to come back in the future. I would have eaten here several times on our visit.

    Loved the atmosphere and the vegan pho!! It's so hard to find a vegan pho without garlic and onions, so I was ecstatic. The tempura appetizer was good too. They played bossa nova in the background. The booths give a sense of intimacy and privacy.

    Delicious variety of vegan food and my go to spot for casual dinners in Boerum Hill 😌

  • 5/5 Jordan K. 3 months ago on Google New
    Food surpassed all expectations! We loved the green tea noodles, scallion pancake, and kimchee yaki udon and would order them again. Malaysian curry comfort stew and tempeh pumpkin seaweed bowl were both good but I would try something else next time.

  • 5/5 J S. 1 year ago on Google
    Yum! This is some of the best vegan food I have had in a very long while. While for some people $17 for a dish sounds like a lot, they also give you a lot. It is enough for two servings. But because I skipped lunch I ate the whole thing. It is fresh and cooked to order. I would definitely come here again!

  • 5/5 Laura W. 10 months ago on Google
    One of my favorite spots for vegan food in my neighborhood. Great seitan, good flavor, big menu. I've enjoyed everything I've had there. It's never crowded (which makes me sad) but also means you'll always have your choice of tables. Food is fast and service is good.

  • 5/5 Jessica J. 5 months ago on Google
    The food is always great from this place. I am a regular and have enjoyed many of the menu items. I am not fond of the atmosphere. The place looks run down and from the outside it looks closed most of the time. Despite it being run down the place is clean and the service has always been good.

    Very good vegan food. Flavorful, and fun. A bit dark inside but the food is exciting and inexpensive. We had mixed green veggies, lettuce wrap, dark rice mix. All were delicious!

  • 5/5 r s. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Bimpbap rice bowl is just sensational. The dumplings were so good we order another portion. The curry samosas and spring rolls were so tasty. Extremely fresh and full of flavour. Great service. I will be returning for sure.

  • 5/5 Svenya S. 11 months ago on Google
    Wir haben gezielt nach einem veganen Restaurant in der Nähe gesucht und Wild Ginger gefunden. Super leckeres Bibimbap, nette Bedienung. Würde ich meinen Freunden empfehlen :)

  • 5/5 Bugs S. 1 year ago on Google
    Omg! This place was soo good! We had only one day in Brooklyn. If I had stayed longer I would've definitely gone back! If you love vegan food and Asian food this is Heaven!!

  • 5/5 Gabriel L. 2 years ago on Google
    So good! Everything tastes fresh and delicious, and extremely fast delivery (order direct from the restaurant on their site)

  • 5/5 Bego_o 2 years ago on Google
    Really good and tasty food. Friendly staff

  • 5/5 Ryan A. 2 years ago on Google
    Pineapple fried rice and sweet and sour chicken were great. The mango and avocado egg roll was delicious too

  • 5/5 I M. 2 years ago on Google
    This is our favorite location. Everyone is very friendly and food is great 👍 Salad portion is generous. I love it! Highly recommend

  • 5/5 A L. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious! Had the hot and sour soup, spring rolls, dumplings and miso eggplant. One dish was better than the other. Can’t wait to come back.

  • 2/5 M L. 2 years ago on Google
    Fast service but I have never seen such a tiny portion of food for a lunch menu. Rip off.

  • 5/5 Lise 2 years ago on Google
    The service is great, the food is vegetarian awesome. My favorite is the King Oyster Mushroom appetizer and a few Sake Mojitos. This is a great place for a date or to hang out with your friends. Very zen atmosphere and no one rushes you.

  • 5/5 Erick G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great vegan option. The Soba and Kale was absolutely delicious. And the scallion pancakes, to start, would be my recommendation.

  • 1/5 Tyler D. 2 years ago on Google
    The tofu had a rubbery consistency. The vegetables were soggy. Everything was drenched in sauce. Hopefully the other menu items are better but I was not impressed. The staff seemed like they wanted neither to be there nor their customers to be there. Mean to dogs as well. Cannot say that I’ll be giving this another shot.

    Good food for a reasonable price
