MAZU

I have been told that a review of MAZU is effectively a journey through the cultural heritage of its owners, Angie Hsu and Matan Mazursky. Tucked away in Keith’s Alley in Yellow Springs, this 100% vegan "menu without borders" has become a cornerstone of the Dayton area dining scene since opening in early 2023. ​The space is warm and modern, featuring an open kitchen and handmade ceramic plating crafted by co-owner Angie Hsu. It doubles as a community hub, hosting social justice initiatives and a volunteer led soup kitchen, Who’s Hungry, on its off days. ​Our Order: The Standouts ​The menu leans into the natural versatility of whole ingredients rather than processed meat substitutes.

This place is such a gem!!! Great food (like really unique flavors and textures) & good vibes inside. I especially loved the “pay it forward” for their soup that’s available for free! So awesome.

Hesitant on going here as we're not vegans, but love trying new foods. Everything was delicious. The fried mushrooms are addicting and unlike any I've had before. You got to try them for yourself!

Friggin amazing cuisine. I mean, they did the unthinkable: scallion pancake burrito (wrap). It’s genius. The mushrooms are so simple yet so delicious. The bao is wow. We just love this place. 2nd time eating here and it exceeded our expectations again.

Absolutely incredible food and amazingly friendly staff! I love the diversity and inclusivity that oozes from this restaurant. Their food is so flavorful and filling, and always leaves me feeling satisfied and looking forward to my next visit. I always dine inside, which is a good option and allows you the chance to enjoy their posters. I do look forward to trying their outdoor dining next time! Mazu is always a great choice!
