Great vegetarian menu. Mapo tofu was fantastic, very saucy and bursting with flavor. Cash only.
Delicious food, generous portions, friendly service. We'll be back for the Sesame Beanbags!
Cozy spot with great service and the menu’s all vegetarian. Plus the prices are cheap.

Lucky Vegetarian is an amazing place for vegetarian Chinese fare. It makes vegan takes on everyone’s favourite Chinese dishes, and creatively uses many ingredients to replicate the textures and taste of meat. Service is quick and food is cheap. I recommend the General Tso’s chicken, crispy duck, and hot and spicy pot. Braised beef sirloin is great too.

Absolutely delicious meal, would completely recommend anyone coming here who prefers vegetarian alternative to meat based Chinese food dishes. The only thing that can be approved upon is if they added pictures and full descriptions (in English) of the dishes. There is not much decor and the restaurant is literally located in the basement level, but I was only there for the food and don't really care about these other things so much anyway. It was clean and comfortable regardless. Also they should notate which dishes come with seeds or nuts as those are very common allergens, we received a dish that was covered in cashews, and I have a nut allergy,, I was not expecting there to be nuts on this dish. It was no such a big deal as I just removed them and kept eating without any problem. But others with a more sensitive reaction might have had a concern in that regard. This also could be completely prevented by providing me descriptions that I mentioned earlier.

They have amazing service. Fluent in English and Chinese. Food was stellar, portions are huge for price. And fully vegetarian places are usually super expensive or the food doesn’t hit. I highly highly recommend this place. I KNOW what ur thinking. It looks weird, it’s in a basement. It’s SO CLEAN and set up so nice inside. Please give it a try!! I literally didn’t go in because i judged it by the door and the basement thing as well but 10/10 food 10/10 cleanliness. Try it you will not regret it.

This is my favorite new restaurant. It's 100% vegetarian but everything you order tastes and looks like the meat it is meant to duplicate. Everything is delicious! I recommend the roast duck and roast pork, which is actually seitan!

If you are looking for some different dishes to the ones you can get at typical Chinese restaurants, you should try this place. Although they do have some typical dishes, they also have dishes that are not found in other Chinese vegetarian restaurants. The portions and prices are better compared to Bodhi Village in Flushing. Be aware that they close earlier than most places at 8pm, and may close even earlier if there are no customers. We got there about 15 minutes before closing with only one customer still there, and they were happy to serve us. Definitely want to go back, but it is near the southwest corner of Brooklyn and takes close to an hour to get there from Flushing Queens.

Love this lower level vegetarian restaurant. Lots of seating and space for large groups!! Went here once for take out and since been back 2x times.. bringing several groups of friends to dine. There are many vegetarian options and interesting new dishes to try. Looking forward to trying new things on my next visit 🙂

We wanted to love this restaurant but unfortunately it was a huge disappointment. It’s possible that we came at the wrong time (2pm on a Sunday), or ordered the wrong items, or upon seeing that we aren’t Chinese food was prepared differently. It’s also located in a very dimly lit/dark basement.
The spring roll was burned outside but still cold & frozen inside. The steamed dumplings had very hard skin outside. We ordered three bean curd dishes, all of them were deep fried and oily, with no vegetables, and not one of them was tasty. The oil was rancid, clearly reused over and over again. The broccoli fried rice was recommended to us, but tasted very weird. The mushrooms on the sizzling mushroom platter were also battered and deep fried with the rancid oil. Perhaps if we had ordered items that were not fried, we would have enjoyed them. It did not state on the menu which items were deep fried, we did not expect everything to be. Cost was $85 for 3 adults and 2 toddlers. We ordered two appetizers and four main courses.
