Absolutely the best vegan fried chicken we’ve ever had – crispy, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. The dumplings and sauces were also outstanding, full of taste and clearly made with care. Portions are huge and perfect for sharing. Everything was prepared quickly, but still tasted fresh and well made. We loved it so much, we came back a second time! The dish in the photo is their amazing fried cauliflower – a must-try on the menu. If you’re looking for bold vegan comfort food, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended! Read less

The fried cashew mozzarella and firecracker cauliflower were really good! Especially the fried cashew mozzarella, it was crispy with a great filling inside. The cauliflower was well seasoned and I love the sauce on top. My angry noodle bowl was ok, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the sauce. I thought the firecracker chick’n bowl was better! Read less

Woah! Vegan or not - this is a must try in DC! Their whole menu is mouth watering. Even dining alone I had to order more than one dish and opt for leftovers; I'm so glad I did. The flavors are decent and balanced, the textures are satisfying (crunchy, creamy, dreamy), and the staff is very kind. Cannot recommend this spot enough! Go and go with people to order as much as you can! Read less

We were doing the DC museum tour for the kiddo's spring break and had a few spots bookmarked. This was our first stop and we were off to a great start! Note: I miscalculated my parking reservation location and we ended up walking 28 minutes to get here. Needless to say I was so hungry I could eat a (plant based) horse! Firstly, the menu online is thorough but they have plenty more options on the touchscreen kiosks-enough to get overwhelmed with indecisiveness (a good problem). So as usual we over-ordered so we could sample plenty! Firecracker Cauliflower to start- everyone loved this and it was fully consumed. Not too spicy so the kids can eat it but lots of flavor. Crispy Lemon Parm Brussel Sprouts - these were okay and while not entirely finished- I think its moreso because we had plenty of other food at the table. While I love a crispy brussel sprout, I prefer a soy sauce over the lemon stuff. Chickn fingers- (teriyaki) - by far my favorite dish. I think they make their chickn in-house and these were perfectly tossed and not drowning in sauce. I have no idea what the accompanying dipping sauce was supposed to emulate - it didnt have much flavor- but honestly not needed. Very crispy and dense texture with a great teriyaki sauce. Chkn rice bowl- same fingers as above but without sauce and on top of rice with grilled veggies. It was a brown rice which tasted poor (as if instant out of a box) Mongolian beef n broc-I believe they use meati- the mushroom based beef. Noodles and veggies were great and could be eaten on their own! Jury is still out on the meati product line. Overall, loved the menu options and the fact the entire menu is plant based (note I didnt say healthy)! Super kind staff and I could see they were all hustling but still being attentive to all customers. Read less

If you’re vegetarian/vegan this is a great spot for a quick meal around the White House area. I particularly like the chick’n, fried rice and the egg rolls, loved the yuzu lemonade, but when I asked for no ice they weirdly filled only 3/4 of my cup. While I was super excited to try the mushroom root steak, I’d say it’s pretty bleh, almost tasted like cardboard with sauce on it. I’d avoid that, but everything else is worth a visit! Read less
