First time I've had tofu I liked. Food was good and tasty.

I ordered the protein lover’s green bowl, and wow…very lacking in the protein. Thinking with three types of protein you would get a good amount, but my bowl had maybe 2 pieces of chicken And one shred of pork. Plenty of tofu though, but they should be honest about how much real protein you get. Very disappointed.

First thing, it’s not a restaurant, it’s a cloud kitchen. So be prepared. I was not aware about this, and was surprised seeing this.
I Ordered veg tofu bowls , one with salad, and one with brown rice.
Taste , quality, everything is so so bad.
Highly disappointed.
I paid 30$ and it was not at all worth it.

The food was great, but the pick up situation was super confusing and unclear. And the building was very sketchy with a lot of random men waiting for DoorDash orders, weirdest experience ever I did not feel safe as a female.

Did not enjoy the protein lovers bowl. Wish I had chipotle instead. Meats were ok, soft texture but not very flavorful. The rice and veggies mix reminds me of those healthy dog food ads, and I threw most of it away

Great value if you can eat there early. High quality vegetables and protein options, very reasonably priced options and an authentic atmosphere. Me family celebrated my sister's birthday there and everyone loved it.

Got 3 chicken bowls. I was extremely disappointed with the amount of chicken provided. They took a small chicken breast and cut it in half and put it in each bowl. The amount of sauce was just enough for a hint of flavor. Would not recommend.

Very pleasant flavors, nothing overwhelmingly intense or salty, well cooked overall.

I'm impressed. It's a healthy, whole food option that also tastes pretty good. It being open later is nice.

New fav spot! All the ingredients go together well. Their sauces are really good and it's very filling. I've had the chicken rice bowl several times with different sauces and add-ons. Lots of options, all of it is delicious!

Vegetarian options: You can easily order with no meat

Parking: Most are compact parking but it wasn't very crowded
