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.

Excerpts

Great place and awesome food. Stopped in for some bulgogi, chicken Thai curry and some sushi rolls. Everything was fantastic, and the only problem I had was I kept eating until my stomach hurt. Then I ate more. Portion sizes are great, and the drinks were tasty. Friendly servers and fantastic owner.

Chicken lomein very good. Sushi was good.stated have allergy to spicy, served me poke bowl very gritty. NOT GOOD. owner very rude. Waitress was a cold fish! Never came back or ask if needed anything. Guess u have to understand the food type. I've had amazing poke bowls elsewhere. Not here.

Bang bang shrimp and the sweet lotus with chicken were amazing. The shrimp were massive, cooked perfectly, and tasted great. The sweet lotus was the favorite for all of us though. The sauce is incredible (nutty, little sweet and a little heat). Pad thai was okay, but was quickly forgotten once everyone tasted the lotus. We also got the Peking ravioli (dumplings) which we ordered pan fried, but they came steamed. The dough was very very thick and there wasn't much filling. The dipping sauce was a slightly sweet soy sauce and was just okay. I wouldn't order them again. We ordered a Woke Up Like This roll and it was okay. It needed more eel sauce and I wish they were slightly smaller pieces as it was very hard to eat. Finally we ordered the thai tea, but it was lacking flavor and tasted watered down. We will definitely come back for the lotus and bang bang shrimp though.
