Place has an artistic vibe. Dine in had Chefs V Shroom Steak (I love mushrooms), with mashed potato with skin and broccoli. Very good, a bit pricey. Tried Muse mushroom drink first time (not my favorite, coffee is more my speed), and Mississippi mud cake (smallish slice, but very dense and filling). To go had Big Bando Breakfast Burrito, perfectly wrapped to eat on the plane. Would go back again since the menu is quite varied.

Just wanted to mention that the food his is truly remarkably good! I'm impressed every time. ♥️

I particularly like the Oshi salmon pasta (which is textured perfectly tender and crispy) and the Chunk steak sandwich (which is cooked and seasoned just right)!

Honestly, everything is fantastic.

Food and service are both excellent. Been here several times and it’s been great every time. One thing I really appreciate is that they list all the allergens on the menu and have specific soy free and gluten free sections. Highly recommend. Probably my favorite vegan spot in NYC.
