It’s opening week, so I know there is going to be some hiccups. The place was packed. Which is generally a good sign. The folks are nice. The food was a bit underwhelming. I think with how busy it is the food is having to come out faster than flavor allows. Some things needed cooked more, some were just lacking in flavor that time allows for. All in all though I think this place has a lot of potential and I look forward to seeing how it grows.

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.

We came here for the buffet with our family and unfortunately had a pretty disappointing experience. We do understand this is a brand new restaurant and that they may still be trying to find their footing, so we want to keep that in mind. However, the restaurant was extremely hot inside, which made it uncomfortable to sit and eat. The food itself was also very bland and lacked seasoning, so it wasn’t very enjoyable. The biggest issue was that they began closing early while we were still there, but we were still charged full buffet price even though we didn’t get the full experience or access to the full selection of food because they ran out. That was really disappointing, especially after already not being impressed with the food quality. We truly hope things improve as they get established, but based on this experience it just didn’t feel worth the price.
