SO DELICIOUS ANS BEAUTIFUL

We loved our meal and for $77 we felt very full! Which is a first for a nice restaurant in LA. For dinner the entire menu is vegan. LOVED the monkey buns and dumplings - will order everytime.

Pros: Lotus leave burritos were interesting!, Dumplings, Service, dinnerware and ambience

Cons: beignets and black sesame paste a miss, Outdoor patio so a couple of bugs around, (Not their fault)

Had such a phenomenal meal here. We loved the attention to detail from start to finish. The tea was great, the food even better, and the service warm. Highly recommend the monkey buns and kung pao tofu.

Truly a wonderful dinner.

We had a fantastic dinner here. There were 5 of us, which was fortunate, because we got to sample a lot of the menu. The flavors were subtle and well-balanced. The small plates and wok dishes were uniformly excellent. The elite puffs, bao, and sweet and sour mushrooms were standouts. The desserts were also fascinating and worth adding to the meal. The service was also great.

It’s good!

Went with some buddies and pals and got to try a whole bunch of stuff on the menu. I’d go back here anytime! Love their tapas style so that you can share lots of dishes.

Pros: Fairly priced when you share

Cons: Parking can tricky

Wow!

This is what vegan food should be always. Loved the Kung Pao Tofu, distinguished by its smokey flavor, chewy texture. Sweet and Sour Mushrooms are nothing like I expected (I am not a shrooms fan but this dish was more like Orange chicken). Appetizer of seitan "chicken wings" was a little too tough and peppery, but we ate all three fillets. Opening with Jasmine oolong tea was elegant. Turn down the thumping club music, and I'm an even happier vegan!

Pros: Amazing food, Creativity, Friendly efficient service

Cons: Parking 4 blocks away, Price, Loud music

Vegan handmade dim sum

This places fills the void of all the vegan restaurants that went out of business in the area. A must try. Glad they moved from Florida to LA as it saves you a flight to taste these awesome dishes!!
Heads up - lunch menu has eggs so not fully vegan as of yet

Yes!

Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. My favorites were the corn puffs, monkey buns, and dumplings. Some of the dim sum servings were small, but we left full and happy. The ambience is chic without being pretentious, and all the staff are really nice.
