    It is refreshing to have a restaurant like this within a few miles of my home. Although it is technically a vegan restaurant you would never know that by eating dishes that have vegetable protein that mimics shrimp, chicken etc.

    I have repeatedly returned to eat here and have tried a good variety of dishes The owner and staff are very helpful, friendly and the service is prompt.

    To start. Try an appetizer that has a buttercup of lettuce with what appears to be a breaded shrimp inside with a delicious vegan mayo. You will want more and possibly a main of it

    Then. Instead of a salad. Which there are great choices. Try the Thai veggie wraps. They are refreshing and prepare your palate for what more there is to come.

    For those with a good appetite try the 5 element soup. It is similar in appearance to a wonton soup but that is where the similarity ends. The dumplings are delicious and swim in a broth with fresh broccoli. Snow peas. & Zucchini slices.

    Moving on to main dishes. There are so many to choose from. You can get into various curry dishes, noodles dishes, with choices of vegetables, vegan chicken, soy,  mushrooms, etc. You can also decide on Pad Thai as another alternative.

    Whatever your culinary mood there is much on the menu to choose from and after enjoying the taste sensations you will be glad to know that you eaten a delicious and healthy meal.

    I actually checked out Vegan restaurants on Yelp and this was one of the Chosen ones...

    It's a very interesting  '70's look ...blue velvet and this thing which I believe is missing the Disco Ball....lol..,
    ok the food was very  very good! My  non-vegan  daughter and her lovely boyfriend took me here as a treat! The Peking Duck Seitan  was amazing
    and all loved the flavor and texture. yummy .
    The only negative  if it's really one  is the waiter  who was really nice  but he forgot what we ordered had to ask us  but he was sweet  soo forgiven!!'
    The cashier was also super nice ...'

    I'll be back.

    They have a lot of mock meats for vegetarians and vegans. They do serve some items with egg (mayo) so beware.
    Service was really disorganized and slow. Took a long time for food to come out and was very slow service. Also, restaurant is very quiet, no music or anything so you can hear other peoples' convo. We asked for music to be turned on and were told 'ok.'  No one ever did it.
    Asked for extra tea cups and no one ever brought them.
    The fried mock chicken with broccoli and ma po tofu were food. Also like the Singapore noodles and Pad Thai. Service needs to improve and be more organized.

    Wow I've been vegan for little over 3 years and haven't had Chinese food during that time. I can't believe I haven't been to this place before. I work a few blocks away and went on happy cow and that's where I found it. Definitely will be ordering again!!! Nice staff and my food was delicious and great size portions. Thank you
