About Lucky Vegetarian

Lucky Vegetarian is a hidden gem, located in the basement of a Buddhist Temple. The entrance may look like a big phone booth, but once inside, the atmosphere is dark, relaxing, and filled with the smell of incense. The workers are friendly, and there is free wifi and a clean bathroom. The menu offers a variety of vegetarian twists on classic Chinese dishes, including stewed eggplant clay pot and Korean Veg sliced fish with bean curd clay pot. The restaurant is known for its amazing vegetarian Chinese fare, making vegan takes on everyone’s favorite dishes and using many ingredients to replicate the textures and taste of meat. They also have a lunch special with an entree, soup, and rice for $8.50. The service is quick and attentive, with staff fluent in English and Chinese, making it a great spot for a delicious vegetarian meal. Portions are huge for the price, and the food is both cheap and stellar. While there is not much decor, the restaurant is clean and comfortable. It is recommended to check for nuts or seeds on dishes due to allergy concerns. Overall, Lucky Vegetarian is a place worth trying for anyone looking for tasty vegetarian alternatives to meat-based Chinese food.

Share your opinion about Lucky Vegetarian

This is my favorite place in Brooklyn. The waitresses are always very sweet. Every dish I've ever had here was tasty. The environment is very zen.
This will be our new go-to spot! We ordered take-out from here a few weeks ago and it was so good, we decided to dine-in here tonight. The food was absolutely delicious, affordable, and came out quickly. We got 3 entrees and 2 bowls of rice for $48. A vegan’s dream! We got the mapo tofu, sesame “chicken” and general tso’s tofu. I can’t say enough good things. Will be back!
This is our whole family’s favorite place to eat, including our non vegan members. The non vegans even go there without us which speaks volumes.
