We wanted to check this place out after seeing the menu after a long day out. The place was very calm, relaxing, and clean. I had the teriyaki combo and the food was so good I was tempted to order more if I wasn’t already full. I would come here again!

UPDATE: Sadly, the quality of the food decreased dramatically in the past few months, so I feel compelled to lower my rating from 5 to 3. We ordered 2 servings of vegetable yakisoba and both were lukewarm and dry, as if they had been cooked the day before and then reheated for us without adding any additional sauce. (The tofu yakisoba was hot and appeared freshly cooked, so maybe that item was cooked from scratch after we ordered, since fewer people order tofu?) The clerk/server was super friendly but not knowledgeable about which items could be prepared vegan. I had to correct her about the yakisoba because she initially said it couldn't be vegan, but we had ordered it with the vegan sauce several times previously so we let her know that (and she confirmed with the cook that we were correct). We'll try again in the future to see if things change again for the better, but we were sad to see that one of our favorite places had degraded so much recently.
ORIGINAL REVIEW from a year ago: Wow, what a find! It's now among our top 5 fav restaurants in Bham. The online menu summary doesn't give a very clear sense of their having good vegetarian options, but they do! LOTS of vegan options, tofu is available on nearly everything, and you can substitute a vegan sauce on items that aren't normally veg (like the pancit). We ordered the pancit, yakisoba with tofu and vegetables, and the tofu lettuce wrap salad (not really a wrap but a salad with a warm sweet tofu-based sauce on top and chopped peanuts on the side). We also got a "glass ball soda" and a jasmine tea that were very good. Serving sizes were generous - we all left with a extra meal of leftovers. We were super impressed, with the food but also with the staff person who explained everything clearly and accurately.

I have been going here with my family since before my grandmother passed away in November 2023. I told the owners wife recently and they embraced my family with love and immense compassion. They always make my family and I feel so welcome and at home. The food being amazing and so delicious is just a bonus! Along with the amazing atmosphere. All around good vibes and amazing owners and staff!

Seriously underrated restaurant. I’ve only had vegetarian meals but every time the veggies are cooked perfectly, the fried tofu isn’t greasy, sauces are flavorful, and the prices are still great.

Delicious noodles, great spicy sambal to go with. The passionfruit tea was excellent, and they were able to make it less sweet for me which I appreciated. They decorated it very nicely so it's cozy and pleasant. And the staff were so nice, friendly, patient! Absolutely recommend.

I don’t even know where to begin. Service and food are absolutely incredible. I’ve been visiting this place consistently for the last 2 years. The vibe is always incredible and the menu has so many options for vegetarians. 10/10 would recommend to everyone.

Best restaurant in Bellingham hands down. I’ve been here 20+ times and I’ve gotten the chicken yakisoba every single time. By far the most consistently delicious place I’ve been to in Bellingham.

The Beef Bulgogi Salad is amazing. The Teriyaki is perfect. I travel for a living and come home once a month for a few days and I make sure I get my Bulgogi Salad every time.
