“ The woke is very nice, the udon is a bit too salty for me, but the crispy vegan duck is amazing ”
“ Great plant-based asian food. The bao with jackfruit is amazing and everyone should try. ”
“ First time in a vegan restaurant and what a surprise! Awesome food, acceptable pricing, friendly service. ”
“ Nice and cosy place to have dinner. It did not seem crowded when we arrived on Saturday evening but the place filled up quickly, so you should reserve in advance. We got the appetizers sharing plate, the wok and rice, and the creamy miso ramen. The sharing plate is such a treat of fried finger food, steamed gyoza, skewers, and vegetables. It would have been nicer if the ramen was a little spicier to even out the cream. Overall the main dishes were filling and tasty. ”
“ Amazing delicious vegan food! Maybe somewhat higher price but so is the quality Spice level is ok for me. Last time I had the Taiwanese noodle soup with gozyas and rice, with spring rolls as appetizer. The noodle soup was very tasty, The spring rolls exceeded expectations and turns out I didn't really need the extra rice For takeaway the food is very well packaged and will definitely not leak! Keeps very hot too. ”
