Lucky AF: Asian Fusion & Sushi

So, we decided to check out lucky af. It is in a great location with breweries and arcades close by, so there is lots to do. The pot stickers were good. Had a nice crispness and good flavor. The sauce was tangy and sweet, delicious. The sushi was great, hands down the best Philly roll we have ever had. The smokiness was amazing! The sauce on the plate is great, but beware it is spicy! The seasame chicken was AMAZING, crispy, sweet all white meat, five stars hands down. The salad was good. But the miso soup has this rich, deep, soulful flavor, so much depth that it was great! We will be back for more. The only downside is that it is noisy, so I'm not sure I would recommend it for a first date, but we had a great time!

Had a great visit. Plenty of traditional and fusion inspired items on the menu. Had quite a few appetizers and three rolls shared amongst our table of three was PLENTY. The *spicy edamame stood out. We had a non-spicy friend so we got the spicy sauce on the side. I have to admit, I put it on quite a few other dishes we had including the gyoza dumplings and the lobster dumplings. Highly recommend. We did two fusion rolls and a classic rainbow roll. Everything was good but be prepared to let some new flavors gel in your mouth. The smoked salmon on sushi creates its own flair as does goat cheese instead of cream cheese. Really enjoyed the freshness of the jalapeño in the rolls!! Would have gone with a five but for a busy Friday night, I thought it odd that the hostess’ were not checking in with each other on which parties at the door had been helped and making sure tables without reservations were sat according to who arrived first. A simple glance around and “who was next?” would fix that problem. Was baffled that a hostess asked two behind us, who had no reservations as I was close enough to hear the exchange, and they were sat immediately, when we had arrived plenty before them. I didn’t want to raise the issue, but we waited another 45 to be sat, only to see the two at a table across from us when we were finally seated at a four top. Having been a server, it just didn’t make sense.

I ordered the the seared Tuna (One of the most expensive item on the menu too) and it comes with fried rice. I was attracted to this restaurant because I am Asian and I really like the design of their logo. Being Asian I know that a traditional fried rice is very oily because that's what gives it the "Wok Hay". But this fusion place took it to another level. They put so much oil in it, I thought this is Chinese - Italian fusion but unfortunately I only like my olive oil with bread not rice. I ask the waitress and she confirmed this is normal. After reviewing all the pictures from Google, I think to myself I must be Lucky A.F. to order the worst dish on the menu (no pun intended). The only Asian I see in my dish is the "Yellow River" between the rice. If you like oil, this is the place! Good luck :)
