| - I first tried Luna's about 6 weeks ago...and have eaten there approximately 20x since! I have loved almost everything on the menu.
Location: great Southend location, just across the parking lot from Icehouse. You can stroll over to the Atherton Market after eating as it's just steps away. There is a nice patio with umbrella shade for days that aren't too hot. The inside has decent seating, but bring a sweater. It's always super cold!
Service: super friendly servers that are knowledgeable about the menu. If you come during peak hours, expect to wait just a little.
Menu: everything is plant-based, vegan, and raw. I often wish for them to add something (anything!!) warm to the menu!! Some days, I just don't want cold food! That being said...it's so delicious. My menu reviews:
* Fire & Brimstone: get it in a collard leaf and ask for extra sambal sauce. Their Quinoa-millet burgers are savory and have a good texture.
* Living Burrito: one of my go-to menu items. Very filling. Great "sour cream" and spicy sambal sauce. Can be messy to eat and doesn't do well as a leftover...so eat it all!
* Rawco Taco Salad: Order this. Just trust me. I wish they gave you more than the 3 crackers on the side! Lots of avocado, walnut "taco meat", cashew sour cream, and crunchy lettuce.
* Vietnamese Pho: This wasn't bad, but I like real Pho too much to order this dish again. Kelp noodles and other ingredients are brought to your table then broth (yay for a slightly warm dish!!) is poured over the top at your table. The key to delicious pho is the broth and this just isn't Luna's wheelhouse.
* Sweet potato sushi: only menu item I just simply did not like.
* Falafel: a great appetizer! Yummy hummus served with pesto covered pitted olives, faux falafel balls, and pickled vegetables that were surprisingly amazing.
* Lemon raspberry cheesecake: No cheese, no cake, yet somehow this is a delicious cheesecake. It's a mystery. Or a miracle. But it's delicious.
* Favorite smoothie: Popeye Punch - green smoothie with great hemp protein (not too gritty) and a sweet-but-not-too-sweet taste
* Favorite juice: Volcano- grab one out of the fridge and take it to go!
My friends have ordered the pad thai and lunasagna and have declared them yummy. I have not ordered either yet, but I trust their taste buds!
In summary, ignore the little voice in your head that tells you that spending money on raw food is insane and go give Luna a try. Chances are, you'll see me there!
