This Rockville restaurant stands out for its healthy and extensive plant-based options, with reviewers consistently praising the friendly owner's recommendations, including a tasty lotus dish that's not always on the menu. The ability to get everything with brown rice is also a highlight, and the service is quick and consistent, feeling like home cooking. However, reviewers have raised concerns about the restaurant's billing practices, including the unauthorized addition of an 18% gratuity and a 21.2% tip without notification. Be aware of these potential issues when planning your visit, and consider checking the menu for any updates on billing policies.

Excerpts

Rockville has a lot of great dining options, but we usually end up coming here because of how healthy everything is. The owner is friendly and recommended a tasty lotus dish that wasn't on the menu last time we went. It was great. Love that you can get everything with brown rice. Service is quick and consistent, feels like home cooking. Will definitely be back.

Unfortunately, this restaurant can’t get above one star due to fraudulent activity that they do to your bill. The restaurant puts on their menu they reserve the right to add an 18% to a bill. They did not tell you when or how it’s applied. Unfortunately, this restaurant illegally adds a 21.2% tip onto your bill without even telling you. They do this by forcing a 20% tip onto the final total (after tax). Tip should be calculated pre-tax, and the fact that they do 20% instead of 18% is fraudulent and should be investigated. The restaurant should also refund 3.2% on all checks for the duration of this illegal practice (they say they’ve been in business for 25+ years so that would be quite a bit of money to refund all customers). As for the food, it’s very mediocre. Nothing outstanding, nothing terrible. The prices are too expensive for what you get. Staff themselves are friendly, but again the major issue with the bill is reprehensible. Overall, avoid this restaurant as they do shady, underhanded business practices to illegally take extra money from you.

Ignore the not so inviting exterior, and come on in to enjoy great, all plant-based, Asian cuisine. With an extensive vegan menu that includes a wide variety of steamed tofu and other soy products, it can meet anyone’s dietary needs or desire for Asian vegan food. Proportions are large and family style dinning a great option. The food is tasty, and the service was wonderful. This is a no frills, come, to eat food establishment. It handles large groups, families, or one person. My only wish was that the heat level could’ve been higher and I had wished they offered or asked what level we preferred. The interior was clean and comfortable just not remarkable. If plant based dining was why you came out. This is the place.
