Everything I’ve had here is the best version I’ve had of that dish. Mapo tofu (and its amazing over fries), dan dan noodles, beef noodle - it’s all amazing. More people need to come here and support this amazing local food joint. Everything on the menu comes vegan or has an egg option (but vegan is default).

Great food, great service. Some of the best vegan food you'll enjoy anywhere!
Just discovered this place and we loved it! The potstickers were so good, and the spicy cucumbers too! Friends got the maple banana shakes too and loved it. I also love the vibe inside- really cool decor and music. Met and chatted with Jerry the owner- really nice guy.
