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

Our friends and us really enjoyed the food. Fresh Alfredo sauce base is made in a real Parmigiano cheese wheel with fresh pasta made, cant beat that. We would consider this joint is a high-end fast food... 1. The pasta flights: 4/5 - tasty and not greasy, not too herbal. The meat ball was ok and tiny for the pasta portion. The chicken was ok, would be better for any sauce if it is simply grilled. 2. The Arugula salad: 3/5 - the dressing has so much more olive oil than the "vinaigrette" so it could be greasy and not enough seasoning. The greens were very fresh. 3.Pesto Chicken wraps: our friends had them and raved about it. It could be pricey depending on what you order and with the environmental settings. We are glad to try it out. The staffs are very helpful and nice! 🙏

We were totally prepared to love this place as we are always looking for healthier high protein options. We got The Champion Protein bowl which is supposed to have what looks to be 4-5oz of each protein. Our bowl had maybe 2-2.5oz of each (no, more was not hidden under the pita bread). This was definitely not worth $23.50. If it had the protein depicted in the photo, it could be worth it, but we likely won’t return due to very small protein portions and really salty sauces for the price.

I visited on Saturday for the first time and had a great experience! I would say that the food is on the pricier side, but I loved my choices! I got the pasta with pesto and chicken which was really good! My two friends also got one of their bowls and pasta! The pasta was really creamy, something which made it unique! They had great lemonade, not too much of a fan of their mango lemonade! Cute and aesthetic atmosphere!
