I had the most amazing dinner here this evening. I love that everything is vegetarian and so full of flavour. The laksa and roti my partner had was incredible and I was really happy with my Thai basil noodles. Very generous portion sizes so had to get mine take away. Canโt wait to come back!
If you're looking for a spot where you can get full on delicious vegetarian Taiwanese food, then look no further. This spot is a gem, and it's definitely on my go-to list. Servie was great. I'm assuming the owner was serving us, and he was polite, welcoming, knowledgeable about the menu and accommodating. The portions are on the large-side, which is definitely not a complaint:) The prices are cheap, which encourages you to order a number of different dishes. Flavors were robust, ingredients tasted fresh, and eating the food was a delight. I enjoyed tasting the different types of veggie meat of all shapes and textures. I definitely appreciated the care that goes into making the food, even down to making the bubble tea. The server tasted the drink before serving it to us to make sure the flavors were on point (no he didn't drink out of our cup). Give it a go, you won't be disappointed!
The overall experience was still nice, but I have to say that since the management changed (it used to be run by Taiwanese owners), the flavours just arenโt the same. While the taste might suit local preferences, it no longer feels like the traditional Asian flavours I remember. That said, itโs still a great spot for vegetarians and vegans, with lots of options available. I just felt a bit sad because it used to be absolutely amazing 6โ7 years ago.
Absolutely Fabulous If there was a 5+ option this plant based restaurant absolutely ticks the boxes. The staff were extremely pleasant and welcoming and the food was served extremely promptly. All of the food options were awesome, the biggest problem being eyes bigger than the belly but nothing a good take away container doesnโt solve. We returned a week later after being extremely happy the first time and highly recommend a visit to this vegan / vegetarian restaurant.
Loved it! So tasty and unique dishes too that are all vegan. Taro rolls were very yummy. Great friendly service. Chairs were hard, but thatโs just me being fussy. Ginger stir fry was really good too. Iโm not a fan of tofu or mock meats, so would be good to have more straight vegetable options. Awesome overall though , thank you
