Foodies will enjoy this tiny gem. Yummy vegan break from heavy /fatty foods. Expect a line. Vegetarian options: Very flavorful and freshly prepared vegan ingredients

Cute vibes and good service. We got the fried oyster mushrooms, laksa, pan fried noodles, and 2 sparkling waters. The food was definitely flavorful (laksa broth was esp rich) and the menu had a good variety. But, for our dishes specifically, there was much more breading than mushroom meat, and the noodles were overcooked in both dishes. Not worth it for the prices. We ended up spending $93 with a mandatory 20% gratuity and other fees which just feels exorbitant for the quality.

Yummy food! Got there around 5:10pm, and there was a long line already! We waited for 30-40 min to order and get a table. The food came out quickly! We got a bunch of food and it was all great! Loved the mushroom goreng, laksa, and pandan Nina gao.

Overall a disappointing experience. Our group made the mistake of doubling down on the fried tofu sandwich which none of us liked. Personally I found the Chinese mustard overpowering. The laksa soup was not bad, but like so many of the dishes we tried, overpriced for a small portion. The potatoes were the only truly satisfying dish we ordered.

Hands down the most delicious food in bay area! I've never been disappointed by anything I've eaten here over the last 2+ years. And this speaks to a lot because their menu changes pretty frequently. Please give them your business!

This place is everything I’ve ever wanted: very flavorful, vegan, and made with local ingredients. They weren’t afraid to have a little spice in there, but not everything was spicy. Dietary restrictions: Vegan

If you are going to offer a McDonald's experience, you can't charge fine dining prices ($100+ for dinner for 2). The food is tasty but it is served with a big dose of attitude. This was bad before the format change but it's even worse now that gratuity is included with your pre-order. No one has any incentive to treat customers decently. Unfortunately, this restaurant needs new management or it is doomed to fail.

Take out service, dine in prices. Gratuity added on top when you order before you see if they served you well. Entitled to the extreme. We got our appetizers, and four minutes later our mains arrived. I asked if it was possible to get our mains served hot when we were done with the appetizers. A manager came, took our food away, and asked us to leave. What a bizarre experience. The food is tasty but good luck being treated kindly and given enough time to eat. I've never been kicked out of a restaurant before in my life, and I was grateful to be allowed to start dinner over somewhere else.
