This was a very satisfying burger. The Lucky Bun burger had Gouda, arugula, and charred red onions. Very hearty. Complex flavors. And i love the malt vinegar mayonnaise that comes with the fries.
You’re also in the environs of Union Market, which is fun.

This Lucky Buns is back, baby. Quality control issues have been handled.
I visited this Lucky Buns a couple times a few years ago. First time, I got one of the best burgers of my life. Second time, it was pretty decent. Third time? I didn’t even finish, it was that bad. Fourth time? Same as before, if not worse. Just gross. So, I stopped coming.
Fast forward a few years and, today, I stop-in. The manager is there. I’m on my way to get food somewhere else and… something tells me to stop and chat with the manager. We discuss my experiences. He’s really cool. He’s sympathetic and notes there were, indeed, rampant quality control issues at the exact time I mentioned. He promises me they’re fixed. I look at my wife. She shrugs “why not?” Ok. One more time.
So glad I took another chance on this Lucky Buns. They’re pumping out solid burgers once more. Well done, Lucky Buns. Glad you guys are back. Union Market needs a greasy burger joint.

Got the hot tiger bun. Very good sandwich, not as spicy as expected with three chilis listed on the menu.

The food has a descent taste. The prices are outrageous especially for the portion size. The pictures are VERY deceiving the food looks NOTHING like them.
The mumbo sauce had a good taste. The chicken thighs are small and the burgers were overcooked and small.
Feels like an upscale McDonalds. I visited can’t say that I’ll go back…. especially not for that price.

I was hoping that this would be be better. I was not expecting barely a three-star meal.
The burgers are not cooked to order- at least not mine. I watched as a lady put a pre-cooked patty (2 of them) on the flat top along with some cooked bacon. I suspect it was pre cooked to medium rare and she brought my burgers to medium well. At least that was the plan.
The burger was medium at best and it was dry (pre-cooked, remember?)
The other thing was this was SO salty. I watched her salt and pepper the meat. Maybe this was the SECOND time this was done because I definitely tasted way more salt then I watched her put on. Wow.
The lady who took my order had to be distracted from her text messages to take my order also. But that’s just me. I was only able to eat because I was hungry. Way too salty.

Had such a great experience with Lucky Buns! There was a small mix-up with the delivery service, and instead of leaving me hanging, the branch head personally brought my order over. That level of care is rare these days. The burgers were made fresh again just for me—juicy, flavorful, and absolutely worth the wait. Not only is the food top notch, but the kindness and customer service really set them apart. Definitely my go-to burger spot from now on!

needed a quick snack and this made me full. good crispy and warm fries with a japanese curry sauce on the side which was also pretty hot. pretty price-y but given the amount it was pretty reasonable. would love to get the fries crispier next time and very friendly staff as well.

I was really craving a hamburger, and I was so grateful that Lucky turned out to be a wonderful choice! The service was kind and attentive, making the experience even better. I’m already looking forward to trying the cocktails next time and hope they’re just as delightful.

The burger wasn’t very good and is not something I would purchase again. I did like the thick cut fires and the bravas sauce.
Also burger and fries came to about $30, a bit overpriced imo but that is the case on everything in union market

Extremely juicy burger, packed with flavor. Staff were attentive even asking medium rare if close to medium or rare, it was a good detail.
