Food AMAZING! All you could wish for and more in a vegan restaurant. Even the biggest meat eater would be satisfied (as long as they like Asian cuisine of course). The waiter… not so much. He was rude.

the menu is really robust with 100% vegan options. i will say i ate dine in and the experience is extremely subpar. this place is more of a takeout-only chinese spot. i wasn’t satisfied with my meal and i wasn’t able to get my money back so i just paid for two meals. one of which i didn’t even eat. this is the first time i’ve had a bad experience at this place though. the general tso soy protein is always great.

We had a great meal! There was one pretty bad review recently which made me nervous, but we are vegan and always want to try vegan places.We ordered four items, Cold Noodles, Kimchee yaki udon, Mushroom Seitan and Tofu Delight. We picked up the food, which also came with two containers of brown rice and two containers of miso soup. Everything was really good! Honestly, I have nothing negative to say. I will definitely be a repeat customer. My daughter lives in NYC and has access...
