Reviews Summary
Lucky Izakaya Bar is celebrated for its incredible Japanese cuisine, blending authentic flavors with innovative twists. Diners praise the delicious food, sophisticated cocktails, and the chic, vibrant atmosphere. While some mention tables being too close together or occasional minor issues with food preparation, the overall experience is highly recommended for its quality and ambiance.
"Loved every bit of it, it was just amazing. The food was incredible, alike the staff and the beautiful interiors and Japanese atmosphere of the restaurant. I really enjoyed their wide offer and variety of hand made and authentic Japanese traditional dishes, along with more sophisticated, but still authentic, variations to most of the classics of Japanese cuisine; shout out for their great selection of cocktails as well.
It was a really enjoyable experience which I would recommend to anyone who’s fond of Japanese cuisine and fine dining in an informal, friendly and easy going atmosphere.
A truly authentic izakaya right in the heart of Moscow which you shouldn’t miss out during your stay; you should really give it a try!"
Francesco Crispano
"Tasty, easygoing, excellent as always. There are tasty open rolls and appetizers. I really advise you to try some of hand rolls (we tried many of them - everything is perfect).
Good cocktails - the most popular are #3 (don’t miss an opportunity to try) and #5 - this one is more sweet than #3.
Staff is affable, very friendly and helpful. There is very nice and relaxed atmosphere, nobody is under stress. Really cool relationships between staff members.
Some tables are located too close to each other. For me seating on a bar is more comfortable."
