Limited But Decent - Edit

A few things I wanted to note if you're vegan like myself and the options that they presented.

Their menu online differs slightly from what they currently offer in terms of vegan options. A lot of the vegetarian dishes claim to be able to be made vegan, but it does end up suffering just a tad bit. Lemme explain below:

We ordered the Mapo Tofu Dry Mix with an additional Noodle (4 slivers in total) ($20) and they said it could be veganized. I was excited and hopeful that they would have a vegan friendly mapo tofu mix to smother on top of our amazing noodles. When our dish came out, it was honestly just their dry chili-oil noodle with some plain tofu on top... no mapo in sight.

I was confused too at first because their tofu appetizer was apparently unable to be veganized because of the sauce, so we didn't end up ordering it "because it would've just been plain tofu." Welp, we didn't get the mapo we wanted, and I wish I had known that going into the meal.

For $20, it seemed rather pricy for what we got, but I still have to give it to them for some yummy, chewy fresh noodles. I would suggest they come up with a hearty vegan sauce option for their noodles.

Pros: Great noodles

Cons: Veganized options lacked flavor, Pricy
