Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: Lucky Cat Vegetarian/Vegan Cafe is a well-regarded spot in Hougang, praised for its fusion-style vegetarian and vegan Japanese dishes.

We note its location within the Hougang Community Centre, which contributes to its 'hidden gem' appeal.

Reviewers consistently highlight the Tofunagi Maki Roll and the Lucky Tendon as standout dishes, with the latter described as generously filled and 'super yummy'.

The cafe is also noted for its coffee and unique desserts like the coffee jelly with Yuzu cream.

While most feedback is positive, one reviewer observed a dip in the standard of their sushi, specifically mentioning a 'thin and sparse' fake salmon in a floss roll.

However, the overall sentiment points to good value, a cozy ambiance, and the absence of GST or service charge.

We think it's a solid choice for those seeking creative vegetarian and vegan options in the area.

Best for a relaxed meal, but be prepared for a queue if arriving around 12:30pm for lunch.
