tempura broccoli!!!!

Out of this world! I grabbed some food on the go and thought I'd taste a piece as soon as I got in the car. The tempura broccoli was so good that I, literally, used a fork to eat it as I drove. Do yourself a favor and try this! Next time I get it, I'll ask them to hold the cilantro (added as a garnish).

Pros: tasty food, street parking

Cons: limited seating/small space

Excellent!

Counter service. Very friendly staff, knowledgable about what is vegan. Clean atmosphere. Street parking. Only vegan entree is tofu rice bowl but it is PHENOMENAL. Comes with 3 different pickled vegies... carrots, radish, onion? All 3 available sides are vegan. The "staff fave" is red beans and rice. I had that it was very good, but if you already have the rice bowl maybe you do not need more rice. The other options were brocolli tempura and I forgot the 3rd one. The rice bowl plus 1 side came to $18... steep but it was a lot of food

Pros: TASTY!!!, knowledgeable about what is vegan, friendly

Cons: EXPENSIVE, limited parking, limited options

best tofu rice bowl I've ever had

The tofu rice bowl is so delicious, if i lived closer I'd eat it every day. Always comes with a side of pickled veggies. Such a good spot for vegans and meat eaters!
