LUCKY GINGER: A HAIKU Bursting with flavor, Izzie's service steals the show, Pure delicious magic! *vegetarian friendly

I don't eat pho often, but after this experience, I'll DEFINITELY be having it more! Yesterday, on a chilly day with temperatures in the single digits, a friend and I stopped by Lucky Ginger for lunch and sat at the bar. We both ordered the tofu pho. It was delicious, but I wanted to provide a PSA for plant-based folks: the broth is beef-based. They brought out sriracha and hoisin sauce to add to the pho, along with all the fixings like sprouts, jalapenos, and basil. The soup was light yet still filling and comforting. The broth was flavorful, but I really enjoyed customizing the pho to my taste with the extra toppings. We visited on a Monday afternoon when it wasn't busy. At our seat by the window both the service and lighting were great. The woman who helped us was quick and even took a moment to chat - so welcoming! Looks like there were more tables in the back for busier days too. Definitely a great spot tucked into the Third Ward!

Came here to try the Pho! It was some of our personal favorite. What makes this Pho so delicious is the broth, it's very rich in flavor, savory with a hint of sweetness. We also tried the Chicken satay (comes with 4 skewers, not 2) which was very nicely seasoned, peanut sauce could use a bit more peanut flavor, but overall quite tasty. We enjoyed the vegetable and special pho, both wonderful, but would like to see a bit more of the accompanying garnishes like bamboo shoots, jalepeno, etc! Waitress was prompt and got us sauces and drinks quickly, overall we will be coming back as the Pho broth is quite to-die for!

Lucky Ginger gives Bar Vibes. The establishment sells Thai/Asian Food. I was craving pad Thai and this place was recommended by a couple of individuals local to the area. I ordered the Pad Thai with Chicken. Service was fast and friendly. The flavor was decent and I ate it all.

I came here earlier this month with some friends after we stopped by the state fair. Since everyone was at the state fair, it was easy to find street parking. We came for dinner. We were able to quickly grab a table and menus were placed in front of us. We then decided to order some apps and our entrees. We went with the chicken wing and beef sticks. The chicken wing was more crispy/burnt than we expected but we still enjoyed the taste. Then we ordered two phos and one pad Thai. Our server forgot to put in the pad Thai but she made up for it later. The phos were pretty standard so I'm glad it tasted like what pho is suppose to taste like. The pad Thai was huge and easily shared by the three of us. When it comes to Asian food, Lucky Ginger did a wonderful job with the taste and presentation.

I went here for lunch and tried the calamari for appetizer and the pad see ew/noodles. Super tasty! They have booth and table seating and has a nice view of the river. Service was good, it was a pretty slow lunch / time. I always ask for no straws, to avoid plastic use

I'm visiting from NYC and the pad Thai here was better than any local delivery spot I've tried at home. I did a level 3 of spice, which was the perfect amount. The portions are HUGE and enough to feed 2-3 people sharing. I also started off with the calamari which had really nice seasoning. The atmosphere itself is no frills and very basic, but that's all it truly needed. The staff was also attentive considering how busy it was with phone orders, people picking up and a packed dining room with some also at the bar.
