Terrific new plant-based Asian fusion restaurant. Great selection of teas served in a pot with unlimited refills of hot water. The food menu is small, but with plenty of good options. We had the Kung Pao Tofu (very tasty sauce), Summer Lo Mein (flavorful), and the Baby Carrot (great dessert-ish dish with Oolong ice cream). The service was attentive and excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant! Read less

The mushroom main is to die for. You could never tell it’s vegan. The monkey bread and dumplings also great. The menu is pretty small and there has been changes since opening so some items like the spicy tofu were not available. I was personally not the biggest fan of the elote puffs (they felt a bit dense, similar consistency to a bean burger patty) but that’s just my own thing. Regardless, food was amazing and you could easily bring a non vegan here and they would be impressed. Great service too :) Read less

Such a gem! The atmosphere was absolutely adorable loved sitting outside in the charming patio area. Every single dish we tried was delicious but two absolute must haves are the sweet-and-sour mushrooms (perfect texture, amazing flavor, generous portion) and the smashed cucumber, which they even customized without cilantro for me. The attention to detail, fresh flavors, and warm vibe made this place an instant favorite. I’ll definitely be back! Read less

So good! We went last week and my non-vegan partner even keeps talking about it, if you're concerned about the wider appeal. Sipped on a delightful tea. The cucumber salad was our favorite but everything was so delicious. Thought the truffle fried rice was a little dry to me a sauce might balance it. They have quirky homade ice cream flavors similar to Salt and Straw if you're into that. Staff was nice and attentive! Great service. It's a bit of a different layout with a nice outdoor space as the main dining area, tables for a variety of party sizes. There's an indoor bar/tea lounge separated by the kitchen. You have to go out and around to get to. Not a complaint, just an FYI Parking is what you'd expect for this area. Some meters and street parking around. I'd give yourself some extra time to find a spot especially at peak hours. We'll definitely be coming back :) Read less

Attentive service that didn’t feel stuffy. The tea was flowing and the attention to detail on steeping and pouring was perfect. The bao buns were the highlight of our meal and everything including the cucumber salad was executed perfectly. The show stopper was the black garlic chocolate ice cream and service from Taylor. Thank you for a memorable and wonderful birthday meal ! Read less
