Roots in Princeton has decent food, but the overall experience is fairly average. The service was okay-ish—nothing bad, but not very attentive either. The restaurant itself is quite simple with no extra vibes or ambience. We tried the ramen bowls and Pad Thai, and while they were fine, the flavors felt more blended and muted rather than distinct or bold. It’s an okay spot for a casual meal, but nothing really stood out. Plenty of parking is available as it’s in the strip mall complex.

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.

Kai and Jessica were amazing. They were incredibly warm and attentive and made sure we were well taken care of from the moment we arrived. The food at Roots in Princeton was super delicious. Simple dishes yet packed with so much flavor. The Singapore noodles, spicy miso soup, unagi bowl and shrimp mango sushi were all outstanding and truly the highlights of our meal. It is a must visit place for families.

Overall good food and flavors (though on the lighter side). Taiwanese brisket noodle soup had delicious broth. Pan seared sea scallop was buttery and lived the eggplant and veggies that came along with it - I have had better scallops in the past though. We also tried the mandarin suzette and it was wonderful! Also appreciated the beautiful plating
