Customer Reviews
A cute place for an inclusive environment. Fun plants and festive LGBTQ decor. The corn bread wasn't cooked through, liquid in the middle, unsanitary. Certain items are orderable on certain days and times only while printed on the same menu. The fresh juice was pretty good. I wouldn't go a 2nd time but was cute to see what they were trying to do.
I Have Only Ordered Takeout but The Food Is Fresh Tasty and HEALTHY! The Staff are Very Friendly And Helpful look forward to trying other meals :)
I've been coming here for 3 DECADES and am so sad to see what this restaurant has become. When it was over at the mall they gave you free warm bread with carrot dip– during the height of pandemic when everyone was doing take out, they wouldn't even give us UTENSILS to eat our food in the car with. On my birthday last year the cooks apparently went on vacation together and because of this there were literally three items on the menu, not even entres– I had to get nachos on my birthday. Been back a few times since then, and once they screwed up my order, our food took FOREVER, and the waiter was literally RUNNING around like a chicken with his was cut off (sorry I know we're vegans here), we overheard two other tables making verbal complaints about how long it was taking. Last night was real
The waitress was very welcoming, attentive and friendly. The vibe and atmosphere was cool but the food was not so good. Had the appetizer of Tempura Calliflower. Was ok but salty. My meal was average. Had the Southern Plate. Cornbread was really good. Beans bland. Tofu was nicely cooked but a bit salty. Friend had the Korean tofu Special. The Tofu was marinated in a teriyaki sauce that was very salty. So salty she didn’t eat it. Rice was soft and bland. Pickled vegetables were good. Waitress took the Tofu meal off the bill. Stomach pains after we left. We won’t be heading back there.
Stepping into ION was a treat for the eyes. The atmosphere was spot-on, a space that made you feel instantly comfortable. The service was a definite highlight – attentive and friendly. While the food itself was perfectly acceptable, offering a decent range of plant-based options, it didn't quite reach the same heights as the ambiance and service. It was a solid meal. Overall, a pleasant dining experience with a great atmosphere and great service, making it a worthwhile visit even if the food is simply "okay."
