The Lucky Creation Vegetarian Restaurant: A Culinary Haven for Vegans and Vegetarians

I have enjoyed visiting Lucky Creation whenever I'm in Chinatown for over 20 years. This is not the best place for a sit-down meal (no-frills ambiance) or Chinese-American vegan (my vote would go to Oakland's Nature Vegetarian). My rating is for the dim sum is it is excellent! What more can you ask for than an abundant box of dumplings, char siu bao (my childhood favorite!), yuba rolls, and fake meat for under $10?! Take it to go and enjoy it while wandering up Grant to Columbus. Thank you Lucky Creation for your service!!!

Although my wife did not like the food I thought it was passable and decent food. We ordered 5 dishes including the appetizer (large) given four of us. It was good but a bit too sweet. We also ordered “fun” or the wide noodle dish which was good particularly with some hot sauce which we asked for. We also had the bean curd rolls with black shiitake mushrooms which I liked but my wife didn’t as she felt it was too saucy. Another dish was the eggplant bowl which we all liked. Finally we also had the minced bean curd with noodles which I really liked. Overall a mixed bag and while my partner would give this a 3, I felt it deserved a 4. Service was good but she was quite busy.

Small place but a gem for vegetarians in the busy Chinatown. It was past 3:30 with the place closing at 4, we were still seated and order taken. We ordered the hot and sour soup, noodles and rice with curry and spring rolls, tasted delicious, was piping hot, freshly made and very filling. Highly recommendand will definitely visit again the next time we are in town. I think it is family owned and hope that it continues on. Every city needs unique places and little businesses to thrive.

Excellent restaurant! Highly recommend! Very tiny. I used to eat gluten and their mixed glutens are delicious. I miss eating them. But there are plenty of non gluten dishes too that are also delicious. Get a bag of the candied walnuts!!! Addictive tasty!

We got the vegetarian char siu baos, and they were so so good!! The filling is very tasty. Couldn’t find where they’re at on the menu. We had heard they had some, and just directly asked them.

I love the atmosphere of mama-papa place. I love the people and the concept. But the food we got, we didn't really liked. The taro fish has a strange taste and the imitation pork was also not well seasoned with soggy texture. I'm sorry to say so, but the expectations from this place were higher. Hope other people like it and they have customers. This place looks legendary in San Francisco. Good luck with everything.

Very cute cozy hole in the wall place We tried the hot and sour soup, the Singapore noodles and the kung pao Good flavors but not super spicy Sweet servers, great service

We ordered three things with 2 bowls of rice: 1. Hot and sour soup — probably my favorite of the three. More tomato than other ones I’ve tried but the flavor was great. 2. Sweet and sour pork — uses gluten as the protein and the sauce was on point. Gluten could use some stuffing in the middle as it felt like it could use some substance on the bite. 3. Tofu eggplant stuffed with taro — I enjoyed the interesting combination but it felt a bit heavy. Flavor was good though. The restaurant is more on the hole in the wall type of vibe, but service was fast and the staff was fast to help. I would stop by again to try more dishes as a vegetarian.
