such a delicious and beautiful meal! we had the vibrant glass noodles, string beans with black bean sauce, and lemongrass eggplant with fried tofu. the portions were generous, price really affordable, and the atmosphere and service were so welcoming! will definitely be back :)

★★★★★ 5.0 David R · Nov 2025

It has a nice patio and nice Chinese artwork, good service by friendly and helpful staff. A wide range of vegetarian food with mostly vegan options and impressive authenticity, presentation, flavor and ingredient quality.

Great portions, excellent customer service, and delicious vegetarian food! We ordered the black pepper udon noodles, crispy basil shiitake and tofu, soy popcorn chicken, and won ton ginger broth soup. Chef’s kiss!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Claire Mizutani · Feb 2025

Went with some friends so I got to try a bunch of things since it was served family style. We had a good time, liked everything, but our favorite dish was definitely the Veggie Crispy Noodles. The rest of our order was Hot and Sour Soup and Laughing Buddha Delight. I really liked the soup and if you’re vegan be sure to see if egg is included or not since many of the soups have egg flower broth or egg white broth. I do wish that there was a more even ratio of noodles to veggies. All of us had plenty of vegetables but would have liked more noodles. The cups of tea are HUGE. Sitting in the back patio is very comfortable

A hidden gem, I love to both eat in and get take out. They make vegan and vegetarian wholly satisfying and delicious! Their service is also very friendly and the patio is tranquil. I especially like the general tsos “chicken”.
