Luanne's Wild Ginger Fort Greene — Restaurant in New York

This food it so good! I was trying them out for the first time so wanted to sample a few things.

King Oyster Mushrooms - very yummy with a mango sauce. Lightly batter and chewy.

Pumpkin Soup - so nourishing on a cold night.

Sweet and Sour - This dish was lovely. I miss my fave that I have been eating since I was little - Sweet and Sour Chicken, so this was a great vegan substitute. Only bad thing is not enough rice is sent with the main dishes! I have never in my entire 50+ year life, had a tiny rice box, like this, from a Chinese restaurant. You will need to order extra rice. I only took one star because of having to cook more rice.

Cold Green Tea Sesame Noodles - These were incredible and my favorite thing I ordered. Very...

I was told about this place several years ago but kind of brushed it off .... "Vegan Asian in Brooklyn, been there, done that." Boy was I wrong ... Let's start with ambiance, cool, dimly lit, jazzy even in the afternoon. The garden is delightful - it's a refreshing break from the norm ... perfect for friends, couples, and/or single patrons. For starters, I had scallion pancake .... drizzled with teriyaki sauce and pineapple bits, it was exceptional. Then I had the general tso's lunch special complete with spring roll and salad. It was delicious as well. Service was kind, thoughtful and thorough. Like the previous review mentioned.... it's giving "Why didn't I come here sooner" but now that you know ... just come...

Don't know who is leaving 5 star reviews, not the Asians! The food is a westerner's take on Asian food, a poor one at best. Extremely bland. Friend had the dumplings, no idea what the fillng was but it was not good. I had the rice noodles, which for 14 dollars, plus an expectation for tip, was nothing more than shop-bought instant rice noodle, vegetables, tofu and a very watered down shop-bought miso paste. This is not a restaurant, but likely a place you would go to for drinks and chat with friends, as the food is apparently not made by a chef. If you're looking for good vegan Asian food, there are several great vegetarian restaurants in Chinatown which do serve...
