I remember this being better/higher quality before. I ordered the Royal Pad Thai (delivery) & it was kind of underwhelming. There were almost no vegetables in it (just a few pieces of shredded carrot & very few bean sprouts). No green onions/scallions, no cilantro. I had to supplement it with my own stuff at home.

I do like that it's one of the few places I've found that has mock meat. Maybe the trick here is to order the more unusual dishes, not the common ones.

It seemed there was a different waiter for every point of our meal, but still we had to wait quite a while for anyone to take our order, clear our plates, or bring us the check. Every waiter was nice to interact with, but it seemed like overall there was a lack of organization.

By far the best vegan Asian (Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese etc) restaurant I’ve ever been to. The favor profile was really good, every dish was curated to perfection. We did the ala carte option & had a couple starters, soup, noodles & two dishes & everything was great! Their service was also real good, they accommodated our group of 6. Needless to say, I will be back 😋

As a non-vegan/vegetarian person, can say that this food does not disappoint in any way. Impressive the way the vegan meat is similar to real deal, & the dishes (like the sauce, curry) are kept close to what one would see in other restos.

Le service est très bien, mais j'aurais aimé recevoir le cocktail avant la nourriture.
Le comptoir derrière les tables est assez bruyant. Les gens semblent parler au dessus de nos têtes.
La nourriture est toujours impeccable.
