"A global experience inspired by chef’s journey throughout the world with a kick ass drink pairing. You know the restaurant is serious when they source bread from Pennsylvania!"

I’m celebrating my birthday every year with the most AMAZING talented staff - run by chef Nahid and the amazing similar- Jahdea🩷 This evening and as usual, I celebrated my birthday and had the most amazing wine pairing- top notch!!! This is a MUST try restaurant and hopefully they will get their first Michelen star soon 🙏🏻"

"Ambiance (5/5): The intimate chef’s bar table seating overlooks into the kitchen with 9 spots at the counter. There were a few floor tables unoccupied and some occupied. However, it is a must to eat at the counter to watch the chefs prepare right in front of you with meticulous fervor at the direction of the head chef. Service (5/5): I did no know that they start preparing when the whole reservation hour parties arrive!! I was 20 minutes late and as soon as I arrived, the chefs started whipping away. I felt terrible for delaying their service interrupting the guests’ time. They were very courteous nonetheless and treated all guests with personal care and attention throughout. Food (6/5): I haven’t had a meal this spectacular in a while both in taste and presentation. There are so many flavors, textures, and ingredients that melt into one dish. Chef Nahid Ahmed has done a superior job in curating an all around perfect meal. Some of the dishes have cuisine themes (Thai, Japanese, Portuguese). I can’t even give one critique is how great I thought it was. We added a supplemental $7 milk bread (1 piece to be shared with 2 people) to the last two courses. I think just the 1 piece would have sufficed because 1) we were stuffed and 2) there was not that much sauce that needed to be soaked in the bread. However, the bread is pretty darn good. My friend seemed to really enjoy her wine pairing! I’ve already shared the restaurant with accolades to friends/family and plan on coming back for a birthday to try another seasonal menu. Summer Menu 2025 Fushka | Japanese Grain | Sudashi Aguachile Thai Tartlet | Crispy Eggplant | Chayote | Papaya Fisherman Ragout | Octopus | Guan Curry Cod Cheeks | Potatoes | Apple Kosho | Morel Dashi* Fish & Chips | Brown Butter Béarnaise| Escovitch Monkfish | Popcorn Laksa | Foie Gras Emulsion French Onion | Kansas City Beef | Crispy Maitake | Black Truffle Demi Glace Chai | Passion Fruit | Mascapone & Vermouth"

"We had the most incredible meal of our lives at Luthun ! It really is a MUST, can't wait to go back. The food is practically indescribable, it's so unique and delicious. Every dish is artfully different, with new textures, flavors, preparations, and combinations. Every sauce/flavoring is so fresh, delicately layered, and thoughtfully composed. Even the temperature of each dish is specifically designed for maximum enjoyment. It is truly an explosion of taste sensations. But nothing is pretentious or formal, it’s just excellent offerings for everyone. And there was a lot of food. “Small Plates”?! Some were quite large. Chef Nahid is a generous genius, and his meals are quite the bargain, considering the quality and quantity. It's a little hard to see from the outside, but the dining room is very comfortable. I recommend sitting at the Chef’s Counter to see the magic. It’s such a laid-back environment to enjoy the best food--and drinks!-- ever. Don't miss the wine pairings!! They are very special, things you'd never know about. Well-worth more than the cost. It’s a special place, run by very special people. Treat yourself."

"One of my favorite meals of the year. Watching Nahid and his team assemble each dish was a spectacle akin to a ballet. The staff and service were stellar with everyone very personable and engaging. With each course a trip around the world, I don’t think I’ve seen a restaurant pay such an enthusiastic tribute to different cuisines with such creativity. Every portion from the first to the desserts was a delicious flavor bomb. I’ll be back next season!"
