Fantastic food

Had a really great experience at this restaurant. Came here with my non-vegan in-laws, and everyone was thrilled with their food.

We had the Korean-style fried broccoli appetizer first and loved it. Highly recommend getting it if you go there! For the main course, we just told them, "Surprize us!" - and they brought out this delicious red lentil pasta with maitake mushrooms, peppers, cherry tomatoes, and fried tofu. Will definitely go back!

Pros: Accommodating to vegans, Good place for vegan+non-vegan parties

Cons: No vegan entrees listed on the menu, (but they'll still make you one upon request)

Great food, some vegan option

This food was incredible. The chef’s wife is a dietician and therefore they take diet restrictions seriously. We were surprised. We showed up just planning to eat the (delicious) broccoli appetizer and go. But when we told the waiter we were vegan she said “our chef will prepare a vegan dish off menu for you” and asked specifics about dairy, egg, etc.

Not sure if this chef is always there, but the meal was amazing and we were pleasantly surprised to have a restaurant in this area be so accommodating
