really tasty tofu dishes

I’ve been coming here regularly since it opened and am a big fan of the kung pow tofu and sweet and sour tofu. for a while, the kung pow recipe seemed to vary a lot but the last few times it’s been as good as usual.

i’ve also tried the cucumbers, spring rolls, and dry friend green beans. out of the three, the cucumbers are my favorite.

It’s so good

The spring rolls are the best I’ve ever had, and they come out with this spicy dust on them that’s like icing on a savory cake. Staff can walk you through what can be veganized. Cocktails are so good too. Everything we tried was delicious af.

Amazing vegan options

Staff is really knowledgeable on what they can veganize for you and the options are amazing. The hand rolled noodles vegan are one of the best things I've had. Also enjoyed the fried rice without egg, loved the snap pea salad without egg, loved the spring rolls, and the dry fried green beans. Get a reservation because they are packed.
