Lucky Creation Vegetarian Restaurant

We’re back! We have been traveling for the past 4 months and we are back with new energy for the blog. Keep an eye out for posts about the food in the countries we visited!

For now, we are trying out the delicious food San Francisco has to offer. One of the first restaurants we went to was Lucky Creation Vegetarian Restaurant in the historic Chinatown of this beautiful city.

The restaurant was small and very cozy. In fact, since we were only 2 people they sat us at the only available table where a family of 3 was already sitting. This was actually one of our favorite parts of the meal – sharing really interesting conversation with new people! We also took their recommendations on what to order.

This restaurant had a full vegetarian menu with mock meats. I am always hesitant about mock meat because of the texture and the way it looks but I’m usually willing to try something new (and I love Morningstar Buffalo Wings!).

We ordered:

• Lemon Chicken – special of the day. It was basically breaded pieces of mock chicken in a delicious tangy lemon sauce. I would have liked some more fresh vegetables in the dish, but overall the taste was really good.
• Vegetable Cream Corn Noodle Soup – The soup was flavorful but nothing special. The portion was HUGE and the vegetables and noodles tasted fresh. I would probably try a different soup next time.
• Eggplant Hot Pot – DELICIOUS. They used the small purple Chinese eggplants, huge pieces of tofu, and tons of fresh vegetables. This was our favorite dish.

The Verdict: The service was great, prices were very reasonable, and we enjoyed the food. There were lots of items on the menu that we would like to try so hopefully we will be back! There is also another vegetarian restaurant in Chinatown that we want to try – Enjoy Vegetarian
