Delicious restaurant in Old city Knoxville! I highly recommend the fried lions mane mushroom appetizer. It is so well flavored—the sauce is incredible! It is a must order. For entrees, we ordered the fried rice and the lemongrass chicken noodle. The portions are very large and we were able to take a good portion home. They have a great beverage selection. Would highly recommend this restaurant as it is a great value, the service is attentive and friendly and the food is delicious!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

This is such a good addition to the old city. The interior is so cute, the food is amazing and the price is really good compared to portion size. The lemongrass chicken noodles are so good and huge for the price you are paying. The miso soup is seriously some of the best I’ve ever had and it was 8 dollars for a giant bowl. I wish I had more pics of the food but it looked so good we couldn’t wait! This is definitely going to be one of my date night spots going forward. The cocktail menu was so cute and themed after arrested development so it was absolutely hilarious. I got the nevernude and it tasted really almondy.

This place was overall good! We got two steamed buns (pork and shrimp) and they were both tasty but the shrimp was my favorite. I will say though, they are TINY and $3.50 each which was a little pricy for the size. For entrees we got the fall stir fry and the duck noodle soup. The stir fry in my opinion was a little bland, but the veggies in it were cooked very nice. The duck noodle soup had a ton of flavor. We spent $70 on the two buns, two entrees, and two drinks.
