Short Pump just got a whole lot more exciting. Lucky AF: Asian Fusion & Sushi has officially opened at Short Pump Town Center, bringing the same energy and flavor that made their Scott’s Addition location a local favorite since 2020.
This is more than just another sushi spot. Run by EAT Restaurant Partners and led by Master Sushi Chef Hai Truong, Lucky AF combines traditional Japanese techniques with unexpected twists that keep diners coming back for more. Whether you’re craving perfectly rolled sushi or pan-Asian comfort food, this restaurant delivers both quality and creativity in every bite.

Why Short Pump Locals Are Excited
The opening fills the space previously occupied by Baker’s Crust at Short Pump Town Center, and early reviews from the Scott’s Addition location paint a promising picture. Diners consistently praise the quality of the fresh fish, generous portions, and servers who actually know the menu inside and out.
The restaurant caters to various dietary preferences with vegan and gluten-free options clearly marked on the menu. From sea salt-dusted edamame to the popular vegan bento box, plant-based eaters have plenty of choices beyond basic salads.
Family-friendly yet date-night worthy, Lucky AF strikes that rare balance where everyone feels comfortable. The modern atmosphere works whether you’re grabbing lunch with coworkers or celebrating a special occasion.
Small Businesses That Make Short Pump Special
Restaurants like Lucky AF represent what makes local dining scenes thrive. While this is the second location for the growing brand, they maintain that personal touch through Chef Hai Truong’s hands-on approach and staff who genuinely care about your experience.
