L.O.V.E. this place. Loaded asada fries. Fried chicken sandwich. Asada Quesadilla. My non-vegan friends still don't believe it!

All the food was amazing! I was very glad the non-v fans also enjoyed the food. The staff was friendly. We came right at 12 so service was quick. All the food, including the salad, were so flavorful.

This is my second time dining in, very friendly and helpful. I fell in love with the crunchy tacos. Today I tried the asada fries and a hibiscus strawberry agua freaca. Wow they did not disappoint but asada fries feels like a sharable item. Can't wait to try other item, the drink was a bit sweet and refreshing. Thank you for your kind hospitality and Beignets.

I was heading the simply salad. I’m not a vegetarian, but I looked on mustard seed site and reviews, they had a Bible verse on the front page so I just felt like if I didn’t go, I was disobeying God 😩😂 best chicken blt wrap. Glad I was led there. Employee in the front was soooo sweet, high energy & gave me a free dessert for it being my first time. Im definitely coming back

First Visit (Delivery):
A few months ago, I ordered Uber Eats for my partner and decided to surprise him with the loco moco for breakfast. He hadn't had one since going vegan and since his time on the islands, so this was special. Even through delivery, the food arrived hot, flavorful, and comforting. He told me it brought back memories and satisfied him in a way only food made with care can. That was my first introduction to this spot, and already it left a beautiful impression.

Second Visit (Dine-in):
Fast forward to just a few days ago--my partner and I were craving something good but didn't want to drive too far. I thought of this place again, and this time we decided to experience it in person. The plaza was busy so we parked behind the buildings, but as soon as we walked in, we were greeted by an atmosphere that felt earthy, calming, and intentional. Even though the plants weren't real, the reclaimed wood furniture and decor gave the space soul. There was jazz softly playing, nature scenes flowing across the TVs, and a sense of peace in the air.

We arrived around 7 p.m. (knowing they closed at 8), and were warmly greeted by Julee--whose kindness set the tone right away. She told us to sit anywhere we felt comfortable. As we looked around, we noticed the story behind the recycled wood pieces displayed in the restaurant. That little detail touched us because it showed respect not only for sustainability but for the stories objects carry.

We ordered loaded cajun fries, a strawberry hibiscus drink, Alfredo pasta, hot chicken strips (made vegan with oyster mushrooms), and extra fries. Every dish came out timely, smelled incredible, and tasted even better. Each bite felt like a blessing--flavors layered with care, textures balanced, portions generous. We couldn't resist finishing with beignets for dessert, and wow...they were the perfect sweet ending. By then, it was already past closing time, but not once did anyone pressure us to leave. Instead, they let us savor the moment. That, to me, is true hospitality--creating space for people to feel at ease.

Third Visit (Take-out):
On our third time, we placed a to-go order. Even over the phone, my voice was recognized and welcomed. The ordering process was quick, smooth, and just as efficient as dining in. The food came out consistently delicious, with the same warmth as always.

Final Thoughts:
There's something spiritual about consistency, kindness, and care--and this place embodies that. From delivery to dine-in to take-out, every experience has carried the same thread: intention, flavor, and hospitality. And while the food is incredible, I have to take a moment to highlight Julee. She is the kind of team member who makes you feel valued as a guest. She carries the energy of genuine service, and it radiates in the smallest details. She truly deserves recognition--and yes, a raise.

I got the wet burrito and the poppers, absolutely delicious! everything in the burrito was seasoned, like the rice was seasoned, the burrito sauce was good, the sour cream sauce tasted just like real sour cream, and the steak tasted like real steak. They go the extra mile to make take vegan food to the next level, I dont think people would be able to know it was a vegan burrito. Excellent customer service as well! They even gave us complementary beignets, Which were so so great!

The food here looks and tastes amazing. We have a friend who is vegan and celiac, and the staff was very accommodating and patient with all the inquiries. Jazz was played from a TV while nature landscapes were on other screens.

Incredible food. Anyone would enjoy this restaurant. We loved the Loco Moco, Nachos, and Wet Burrito. One of the best restaurants we’ve been to.
