I had a delicious & unique smoothie called the Jouvence here on my way to work. The server was working alone & there was a line but she managed to make it fast with the perfect balance of flavours & consistency. I also appreciate that they use paper cups. Thanks for making my day Came back to try the special of fried tofu & sautéed vegetables which came with surprise portions of salad & rice. It was really good. The salad dressing was tasty & balanced. The rice was cooked to perfection almost like sticky rice. It was decent value of a plate for $12. I noticed they have a lot more veg meal options so I'll be back to try the rest I returned to try the veg dumplings & they were really good alone & with the sauces. Only complaint is an hour before closing they put the food in plastic containers & only tell you after you pay. They're trying to give themselves less to clean but it's still wasteful. It's not that hard to wash simple dishes & stay a bit later. Pay your employees to do what needs to be done Came back for the Japanese tofu. It was so buttery & lightly breaded with good rice & salad. It seems they stopped using plastic to serve food in the evening, nice! Very disappointed in the general Tao tofu. It was so sugary I was nauseous even though I did my best to peel off the breading & sauce. Not edible. They gave me a 10% discount on my next order at least The tempeh burger was good but be aware it's a small piece of tempeh & a huge piece of tofu , not what's in the picture on the menu . The potatoes it came with were really good ! The veg sauté du jour was great except the onions were undercooked The green beans sichuan were really good but it didn't say there's beef in them on the menu. If I knew I wouldn't have ordered themView more

A hidden gem in the plateau area! Chinese food is authentic & delicious. I haven't tried the western selections but would recommend sticking to the Chinese dishes the prices are super affordable! I'm a sucker for pumpkin spiced lattes & the one I had was the best one yet. They make their own pumpkin purée syrup which is mind blowing compared to Starbucks. It was not too sweet & still had a strong coffee taste. We ordered two dishes: Japanese tofu sautéed with soy sauce/oyster sauce & boiled fish in spicy sauce. It came with rice & salad. Both dishes super tasty & now I want to try more from the menu!View more

Got the tofu stirfry lunch special which looked really good but when I started eating, it was so salty I had to stop eating after two bites. I even made my friend take a bite to verify how unbelievably salty it was. I was really looking forward to this place being my affordable regular lunch spot but I didn't get a good first impression of the food sadly :(View more

Had the most disgusting tempeh burger here today. It was completely soaked in sauce so that the bun was soggy. The lettuce was brown on the edges. The photo they have on the menu shows a fried patty, but what I got was two little pieces of tempeh & two big pieces of regular soft tofu. The side salad was fine & a generous portion. The coffee was really bitter with pieces of milk skin in it. Overall not pretty gross as was the bathroom. But the service was friendly & relatively fast.View more
