Five Days of Foo @ Lucky Foo’s

Events like this are a great way to experience new restaurants. Since it’s in my neighborhood and I had yet to go, I was quite excited about this. Unfortunately, work got in the way and I was only able to make it one of the days. (Kuddos for extending the event an hour — that made it a lot easier to get here.)
In addition to the free Unilocal Elite offerings, which were the Water Dragon (martini) and shishito peppers on the night I went, we ordered some other items off the happy hour menu. All were tasty! And it was a great way to sample what Luck Foo’s has to offer. We will most definitely be back!
While not a typical Unilocal CMYE, I really liked the concept. It reminded me of Unilocal Drinks in some ways, but just one place and there was food too. If I didn’t have to work so late, I would’ve been here every evening.

This is a hard event for me to review, mostly because it did not feel like an event!
I had an enjoyable time when I went to Lucky Foo’s on Wednesday night during the Unilocal promotion. 4 of my favorite Unilocalers were there, and I can’t think of many situations that I would not enjoy when I have Ife, Allison, Jamie P and Shirley as my company! We spotted Daniel S. sitting at the bar, so our group ended up being 6 Unilocalers.
I started out with the complimentary (for Elites) spicy tuna roll and Moscow Mule, and ended up ordering a couple other happy hour items as well (as did everyone else in the group). All of the food I tried was really good, and the happy hour pricing was quite nice. The Stellar nachos were my favorite of the evening.
Service was good, up until it came time to pay. Our server had separated our checks for us, however my credit card was used to pay someone else’s bill. Trying to get that rectified took a bit longer than I thought was necessary.
Nate had posted on the event page that we should «treat this as fun casual dining experience for you and your happy hour loving friends» which is exactly what it ended up being.

Five Days of Lucky Foo’s was a cyme. This was such a great opportunity to try a new place, hang out with some of my favorite Unilocalers and meet some new ones.
We had decided to check out Wednesday night of the week long cyme. How could this night not be a great time with the amazing company I had. Ife, Jessie, Jamie and Shirley all join me for Happy Hour. We also ran into Daniel S. at the bar and he joined our table. It was so nice to meet him!
Lucky Foo’s was giving us Elites a free Moscow Mule and a free Spicy Tuna Roll. Not only did Elites get a great deal, but all Unilocalers got a deal with $ 5 for the Spicy Tuna roll or a Moscow Mule. Foo’s has a great Happy Hour menu as well and we all ordered extra stuff that we shared. I really liked the Steller Nachos. It had fried wonton chips, spicy tuna sprinkled all over, avocado crema, sriracha, and pico de gallo. Very tasty!
The staff at Lucky Foo’s was great and our food came out fast. There was confusion over the checks being split at the end of our meal. Which kinda sucked, but it happens. I love the open air vibe of the restaurant. They have a nice outdoor patio and even when sitting at the sushi bar the huge windows make you feel like your outside.
Five Days of Foo’s at Lucky Foo’s was a fun night out. Wonderful company and some tasty bites of food. I’ll definitely be back in for Happy Hour when I can actually drink! Shout out to Nate! Thanks for organizing this cyme and we missed you!

So «CMYE Day #3 of Five Days of Foo: Moscow Mules and Spicy Tuna Roll were the featured items. I didn’t take advantage of the Elite offer or that nice Unilocal deal, but went straight to the HH menu and ordered a couple of appetizers.
Got Foo Dogs and from the Robata Grill, pork belly on skewers. They came nicely plated. Serving portions are just right for two people. Between the 6 of us we shared 6 apps. I would order the pork belly again, but would ask for it to be a little more crisp :).
Service was good. Our servers were attentive. Just a minor hiccup at the end when checking out, but it was solved with no problem.
This was billed as a CMYE (Community Manager Unilocal Event) but didn’t have the « Unilocalinessl» air to it. IE, no signs, no name badges, swag and CM Nate had to be MIA. No worries though. We had a Unilocalerific time! The company was great! Cool Yeeps Ife, Jamie, Daniel and my favorite Unilocalers and sweet friends Allison and Jessie made up our table. Although we missed our CM, we treated the event like a fun casual dining experience like Nate said to do.
The ambiance of this place is really nice and relaxed. The dining area is pretty. I wouldn’t mind taking my friends here after gym workout and chill here. Thanks Lucky Foo’s for showcasing your place and giving us the opportunity to check it out! It was Kung Foo-​Tastic!

I really enjoyed this CMYE. It was different than other CMYEs which are usually at one place with a specific date and time, this CMYE was for 5 whole days! Not only that, Lucky Foo’s showed the elites some love by offering 1 item and 1 drink on the house, with the choices changing everyday. I love variety, it really is the spice of life. :) My lovely Unilocaler friends Allison, Jessie, Ife, and Shirley and I chose to meet here Wednesday night where Lucky Foo was offering Unilocalers a spicy tuna roll and 1 Moscow Mule on the house. The Moscow Mule was tasty. It came ice cold in a copper mug. The spicy tuna roll was simple but tasty as well. It was happy hour during the time we were there, which gave us a chance to sample some of their HH menu items. Between our group we tried:
Lasagna roll
Foo Dogs
Pork Belly
Stellar Nachos
Ebiyaki
Chicken Wings
I liked the lasagna roll the best, with the chicken wings coming in second. They came with a flavorful onion dip. The best part of this night was the company. I got a chance to catch up with my girls and I got to meet fellow Unilocaler Daniel S. who is super nice. It’s always nice to be able to put an actual face to a name that you see frequently on Unilocal.Thanks Nate for putting this together, with not 1 but 5 days of Foo. I really enjoyed myself.

HIGH FIVE DAYS OF FOO @ LUCKY FOOS
A sense of Community still exists. When your an active Unilocaler, a community is all around you. Today I decided to step away from the keyboard and join the physical Unilocal Community this Wednesday for a day of Five Days of Foo @ Lucky Foos.
This is a five day event where all active Unilocalers are invited to attend from 3 to 7 PM to celebrate Happy Hour at Lucky Foos. Today, Lucky Foos treated Unilocalers to a complimentary Moscow Mule and spicy tuna roll.
The neat and convenient thing about Happy Hour Unilocal events is that there isn’t really a set time to be there and they are laid back. With that said, I showed up at the event around 4:45 pm, an hour-​and-​a-​half after it started. It seemed like it was me, myself, and I. Right away I got the party started. I showed the bartender my Unilocal account, and he made me a Moscow Mule followed by a spicy tuna roll. A few minutes further, I ordered a bowl of Miso soup. It was still me, myself, and I. Hmm! I did see that Ife, Allison. S, and Jessie. B checked in. I guess you do have to look for community. Anyways one of them waved to me, then Ife and Jessie went up to me to see how I was doing. The last time I saw the both of them was at the Game works Meet the New Unilocal Community Manager event back in August. So, I relocated from the company of me, myself, and I to a representation of the Unilocal community. The party resumed at the tables.
Joining myself, Ife, and Jessie. B were Allison. S, Jamie. P and Shirley. B. It was five star company and conversation. I would like to think that we all enjoyed each other’s company. We were so absorbed in interesting conversation that time flew by. At this point I went between talking and listening while sipping hot green tea. We were all satisfied with our sushi and beverages.
Now back at the keyboard, I highly look forward to attending the next Unilocal event. Until then SYOY :-)
