Very good food and very friendly people. They use Styrofoam for takeout which I think was so odd because it seemed so out of place with the overall vibe. Hopefully they can switch to more sustainable takeout containers.

Ordered the combination fried rice and it was greasy and way too salty. It barely had any vegetables and the serving size did not justify the price point. Disappointed.

Excellent vegan food.. I am a big meat eater but here I couldn't tell the difference.. flavours are very authentic and prices are very reasonable. Everything is really good, I really liked the fried rice and noodles (especially with bbq pork (soy)).. chicken skewers and satay sauce are a must try.. Wish more places like this existed.. Won't miss meat.. Highly recommend.

This place is amazing. I had the BBQ beef, and orange chicken. The beef looked and tasted so real. It was perfectly cooked. The orange chicken was delicious. It had the right amount of orange sauce. It wasn't overly sweet like most places. They also have a lunch special where you order from the steam table. A nice thing is there's pictures of every menu item. Service was also very good. I'll definitely be back.

Delicious. We tried multiple entrees and appetizers and everything was cooked with the right level of flavor. I've been to numerous vegetarian/vegan Asian restaurants all over the country and this is one of the best. Definitely try the steamed buns--so hard to find vegan steamed buns and these were amazing! We ended up ordering extra to take home.

The food is incredibly delicious! Perhaps the best spring rolls I have ever had. You can also eat here fully vegetarian and have the same dining experience as if it were a non vegetarian place.

This has become a good to of my wife and I. My favorite dishes are the Basil Eggplant, Fresh spring rolls and Green noodles ??

A vegan classic. I've been coming here for almost 20 years. I live on the east coast now and coming here is always a highlight of my visits. There are so many amazing dishes but we tend to fight over the fake orange chicken, buns and satay.

Yummy Thai/Chinese Vegetarian food! If your looking for a great place near Momentus after your kids game. Will be coming again!

Typically I don’t write reviews unless they are positive but my experience here was so disappointing I couldn’t help but leave some feedback for anyone looking to eat here. As someone who tries to go to a new vegan spot every time I eat out I was excited to find some Thai food near me that was 100% vegan, but this place ended up being 100% regrettable. When I arrived to pick up my order I was sure I hit the jackpot because there were tons of people outside waiting, but come to find out that was the line for the Sub Noodle bar next door. Anyways my friend and I placed an order for the Thai tea, leechee, bbq spare ribs, chicken drumstick, combination fried rice and the Kung pao shrimp. It was $60 for all of that and the portion last were extremely small for the price. The ribs tasted like cardboard and I’m not exaggerating, literally had to rip it apart with my teeth and the outer layer was like eating paper. The drumsticks were moist but lacking any salt and seasoning. The rice and shrimp lacked any flavor or salt as well and was soggy. Some of the most tasteless food I’ve ever had. The quality is far less than what it’s worth. The after effects were just as bad, talk about some terrible flatulence and extra trips to the restroom. Upset stomach for days. So so so disappointed will not be coming back.
