50 Best Vegan Restaurants near James Island

“My husband and I are huge fans of Asian food and this is hands-down one of our favorite places in the whole city. The bar and cocktails are fantastic, we usually order dirty martinis which are always spot on - so much so that we asked them for the exact dry vermouth they use and have tried unsuccessfully to replicate. We almost always order the delish dumplings in the black vinegar sauce. We also tried some of the items off of their new menu. But the best part about this place is the atmosphere - music is on point and curated by the owner and we always sit at the bar and chat with the manager and the bartender who always remember us even if it has been a few months, ask us questions about our lives, and give us fabulous service. Highly recommended.“

“First time visit recommended by nephew. Great food, great server and prompt service. Always try to be considerate in not overstaying our welcome when people are waiting to be seated. We finished our lunch having been there a total of one hour , enjoying talk with nephew who we hadn’t seen in months when another employee rudely and abruptly said “so, are you ready to settle up?” Never have we felt like we were being ejected from a restaurant! And the real rub is there were at least 3 empty tables and a booth in our seating area. We three were so stunned by her rude manners, we politely gave her our card, (and she took the liberty of pre-selecting a 22% tip which we gladly gave our server)paid our bill and left - NEVER TO RETURN!“

“Great food awesome atmosphere. Service was awesome. Ate at the bar and it was perfect“
