A gem!

Sadly, I don’t often get to this neighborhood, but when I was there today I walked around for an hour waiting for this place to open. So glad I did as the Green Dumplings I had were amazing. Made with spinach, corn, mushrooms and rice noodles, I was glad I was alone so I didn’t have to share. $13. I also a a Longevity Tea, which was also great and was $4 for a giant mug. I will definitely go back to try other dishes.

Delicious

Had the wonton and veggie soup added tofu and it was so delicious. Big bowl with wontons stuffed with tofu and fresh greens. Broth felt so good to enjoy .

Most of menu can be made gluten free vegan

They have gluten free soy sauce so every dish without wheat noodles can be made gluten free on request. E.g. all the stir fries, most soups can be gf. Only the lettuce cups appetizer can be gluten free. So many many gluten free vegan options.

Pros: Gluten free options , Vegan, Tasty

Loooove it

I LOVED my experience at this restaurant. As someone who doesn't eat onions and garlic, it can be hard to dine out but the entire menu is onion- and garlic-free. Don't let that scare you though -- the food is tasty! The aesthetic is so fun with fake wisteria blooms hanging from the ceiling -- it elevates the entire experience. The entire menu is vegetarian and mostly vegan. Only rice dishes and soups aren't but they can be made vegan. The wait staff was super accommodating and attentive. I highly, highly recommend this place.

Pros: excellent food, friendly staff, nice vibe

Perfect for Two Vegan Couples

Four vegans met here for dinner and we loved everything we ordered. Semi-outdoor seating was nice, green dumplings and black pepper udon were great. Crispy basil tofu dish was outstanding.

Pros: Friendly, casual atmosphere , Plenty of vegan choices with protein , Good variety of flavors and textures

Great spot, can't wait to go back

Really good Chinese food, it's all vegetarian but there are a few things with egg. They seem to be clearly labeled though.

Great Veg/Vegan Chinese!

Opened recently, the owner also owns 5 Spiced Kitchen restaurant in Montclair (great too.) All the dishes we had were super tasty and of good proportions. My favorite is the pepper Udon noodles. Patio in back is dog-friendly, a big plus for us. Very friendly service. A new go-to Chinese spot.

Pros: Loved the food!, Service with smiles, Dog-friendly back patio
