    Randomly chose Lucky AF after seeing the number of reviews and now I know why. Great selection of unique roll choices and flavors, like the Granada Roll with the jalapeño relish (not hot). AND, happy hour specials until 6PM.

    First time here and it did not disappoint! The restaurant has a casual, trendy vibe for a sushi spot, with inventive rolls that truly stand out. We had a wonderful server who recommended the Get Naked, Baby Krish, and a weekly special roll with truffle oil—all of which were absolutely delicious. These rolls were unlike any I’ve ever come across: creative, bold, and packed with flavor. If you're from out of town like me, you have to stop at Lucky AF when you roll through!

    A friend recommended this place and it didn't disappoint! Staff was super friendly, helpful, and attentive. The waitress gave great recommendations, and we ordered some of their happy hour items as well. The sushi had good quality fish and tasted amazing. Will definitely be returning when I'm visiting the area!

    One of the top sushi places in the area. On par with Red salt and Fighting fish. We got the lychee martini, the Philly pho eggroll, and sushi (aquaman, let's get it on, and the joker from top to bottom). The martini was amazing (think sweeter cosmo), the appetizer was one of the reasons we come back so often but admittedly it's meant for like 4 people and we always we feel full after. The sushi is great. We've had all the rolls and we've never had a slimey, or "fishy" roll. They always taste fresh and they always have a great fusion take on the rolls with awesome toppings and sauces. 100% recommend!

    Freshest and most delicious sushi!! I just love the menu which has so many choices!! This is quite the popular place. Go early if you want to get in!! The restaurant speaks for itself so this review is certainly quite similar to others!! If you haven’t been, you must try!!

    I have come twice in the last few weeks, and I was lucky enough to get the same server both times - and ti was incredible! I have always loved the food, but now I can say that I have had absolutely amazing experiences because the staff here are so sweet! The rolls are definitely fusion, but there are still some wonderful traditional homages everywhere.

    First time here, loved the rolls. We got a spicy sockeye salmon traditional roll and a fancy roll called the Wonder Woman. Both were superb. We tried the lobster dumpling appetizer out of curiosity and it just wasn’t what we expected with the word “dumpling” so a bit down on the rating from that. The flavor was okay. Definitely will return for the rolls and happy hour deals!
