What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable love the restaurant’s lively atmosphere and flavor-packed dishes. The sushi is frequently called out as “fresh and creative,” while the Korean BBQ and ramen earn high praise for both taste and portion size. Many guests mention it’s a great place to grab a quick bite with friends before heading to a show, and service is often described as fast and friendly.

Areas for Improvement

Luk Fu can get pretty loud, especially on event nights—which adds to the fun for some, but might not be ideal if you’re looking for a quiet meal. Wait times may stretch during peak concert hours, so a reservation or early arrival is a good idea.
