Luanne's Wild Ginger

Veg Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. It looked closed from the outside as the drapes were partly closed, don’t be fooled. All the dishes were slightly better than average when compared to typical Buddhist/vegetarian Chinese places. That being said, my favorite was the general tso’s protein and the wild rice. I’m usually not a fan of “general tsos” sauce, but they make it more savory than sweet here. Also, the soy protein paddies were delicious! I would avoid the red curry ramen: the broth had too strong of a bamboo flavor infusion. The prices here also were not that expensive!

Beautiful spot, beach cove atmosphere with incredible vegan selection of Asian options from the sweet mango rolls to pad that and sezchuan eggplant. Wonderful flavors, cooked lightly and with individual sauces to make this an incredible and delectable meal. On my favorite list for every Nolita visit! Service was wonderful and provided great recommendations.

Came here for appetizers and a drink one weeknight with a friend - the appetizers (like the crispy silken tofu) were delectable! The drinks menu was just wine and beer so we decided to pass for the evening and just enjoy the food. The space is very small overall so we dined outside, which wasn’t the most ideal. The server was quick and brought food out very fast, although was not particularly friendly or chatty. The appetizers were so delicious and made so thoughtfully, unlike vegan/vegetarian appetizers in many other pan Asian spots across the city, that I would definitely come back for another try.

Love this place for the vegan selection. Always fresh and tasty. I particular love the green tea noodles but this time I got the stir-fry tofu veg lunch special which came with black rice and spring roll which was yummy. I just wish the tofu was cooked a little harder, I don’t love mushy tofu. Their service has never been overly friendly for me but it’s never bad service either. Definitely come here vegan, vegetarian or neither and you’ll enjoy. ApplePay accepted. Restrooms avail.

We liked the music they played as it added to the atmosphere. The food was served very quickly, but note that we were there shortly after opening and seemed to be the first costumers there. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated, the staff was very friendly and attentive and the food was very nice.

One of my go-to vegan restaurants in the city. Food is good and the menue is very accommodating to those with different restrictions. They have an all gluten free menu as well. The food is flavourful and delicious. I highly recommend it. I've gone through most of the menu. Here I'm having their famous oyster mushrooms and Pineapple fried rice. All vegan. 😍

Nice vegan comfort food. Very filling. On the downside, spring rolls were just two for six dollars. And there was an ingredient lacking in my dish. I asked the waitress and very politely she informed me about the mistake printed in the menu. The seitan was very tasty though and the portions in our main dishes were satisfying. They were also willing to change the sauce as I can't handle spicy food. In conclusion I recommend it, and could see myself going again.

A wide range of options for vegetarian food. I have dined at this location and the Brooklyn one a few times. Have tried the healthy options like macro bowl and less healthy options such as the sizzling stir fry and scallion pancakes. The food is good, above average, just not super incredible that's blowing one's mind away. The service at both locations was friendly and good.
