I live nearby, drive by CY Bentos frequently, and wanted to give their food a try. The atmosphere and customer service was great and friendly. I ordered the fried rice bento with the crispy suji filet. We also had some of the pickled cabbage. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced, so I know I'll be back for more. There were enough options that even though I do eat meat, I wanted to try several things on the menu. My vegetarian wife approved and enjoyed her meal as well.
I am in no way vegetarian and this place was the best. I ordered the soy basil, the egg fried rice, the fried and regular impossible wontons and everything was a 10/10. If you have to order anything I really recommend the soy basil it was easily the best thing I had, not that anything was bad. The owners are also super sweet and the place clean and really nice. If you’re vegetarian/vegan this place is great but I’d also recommend it to people who aren’t either of those.

Tried the soy braised spicy noodles at the VegFest, Oct 6. It was so good, I had to find their page to see where the restaurant location was! Highly recommend trying them!

A new and healthy dining experience of vegetarian cuisine. Authentic Taiwanese offerings prepared fresh by a family owned business in a light and friendly setting.
Parking: Easy west-side street parking right next to corner door entrance for easy pick-up.
Delicious food with really friendly owners! Got the doubao roll and suji chicken bentos + the impossible wontons and everything was delicious and super filling. They also gave us the vegan spring rolls. Would recommend each of them. Great for those looking for vegetarian/vegan options. We'll definitely be coming back!

The amazing restaurant I recently visited offers a delightful dining experience that took me back to my home country. The authentic flavors and dishes on the menu transported me to familiar tastes, making me feel homesick. However, there was something even more remarkable about this restaurant - its commitment to using natural foods and excluding MSG. If you're someone seeking a healthy and flavorful meal, this restaurant is a must-try.

HAPPY AAPI MONTH!
Wow, I return to the country and STL has a new veg spot that just opened this week! They are labeled as vegetarian, so I had to call them to inquire if they had any vegan dishes. The lady was very nice and informed me that as of right now, everything is vegan. Due to previous snafus with vegan restaurants serving things made with non-vegan ingredients, I kindly grilled her a little bit more. She assured me that everything is vegan here, for now. However, they are still in their soft opening, and she says the menu will change and may include vegetarian options. (Look forward to some ramen in the future.)
The menu has a nice variety and everything is extremely affordable a la carte. You can also get bento boxes in small, medium, or large. As a foodie at a brand new restaurant, it was my sworn duty to try as many menu items as I possibly could… Ya know, for research purposes.
Family Bento Box - Comes with 2 large sides, 3 entrees, 4 spring rolls, and a large box of white rice for $34.99. You pick your sides and entrees from a preset list of choices.
My two sides of choice: STIR FRIED CABBAGE - I honestly didn’t love the cabbage. I’d prefer it a tad more seasoned and stir fried. It wasn’t bad, but I wouldn’t order it again.
SOY BASIL - I love basil, so this was quite tasty to me. They were out of their lo mein, but I’d definitely order this again and couple it with their fried rice or lo mein.
My three chosen entrees: FIVE SPICED DRIED TOFU - firm, not soft, tofu cubes that are seasoned by the hands of Father Flavor. 10/10 will order again
ORANGE SOYA DELIGHT - reminded me of a beef and broccoli with a tangy orange twist. Not bad.
SEA-Y FILET & CRISPY SUJI FILET - each of these can be order separately, a la carte. I love that you get a taste of each in this family bento box. One is a fish alternative, the other is a chicken alternative. I really like them both (very good flavors), but the Crispy Suji Filet was my favorite. 10/10 would order again.
Additionally I ordered…
CY BRAISED DOU BAO ROLL - delicious. Would order again.
MA PO TOFU - I don’t like soft tofu, but the sauce alone makes this dish worth it.
TLC FRIED RICE - a tasty turmeric fried rice that I used instead of the white rice. I don’t like mushrooms so I just picked out the few lions mane shrooms that came in it. Would order again.
FRIED DUMPLINGS - veggie-filled pan fried dumpling. They were good, as were the spring rolls.
It’s a nice sized eatery; very open and spacious. They’re doing carry out only right now, but they do have tables in case you need to eat right away.
Everyone was so nice and patient with my line of questioning. I look forward to seeing what they do with the menu.
One parting suggestion would be to label the vegan and gluten free items on the menu to lessen confusion.
