Tashi HaskinFebruary 11, 2013The food is delicious and fresh. Go for dim sum-you won't be disappointed!
Andrew PreluskyAugust 30, 2013I don't normally write reviews, but the food I just got was excellent (Buddha's delight). It wasn't greasy either! A little pricey, but you get what you pay for.
The best faux meat around! Try the General Tso's chicken - my favorite!
😇December 24, 2015Really disappointed wanted to eat here but made us wait while tables were empty and then sat us in the back were staff was already prepping peas on the table while we are supposed to eat. Embarrassing- Try the Shredded Shitake Mushroom With Broccoli - #vegan #kosher
James BerdugoNovember 19, 2011Amazing vegetarian/kosher cuisine! Monks and Orhodox Jews under one roof! Gotta love it!
Mark CáceresJanuary 16, 2011Go for the lunch special & order the sesame chicken. You've never had chinese like this boyyyyyyyyy
- Try the Mushu Vegetables - #vegan Perfect combination of flavors.
Omri KlMay 22, 2016Late & the wrong order. When I called they said they are re-sending me the correct order, 40 min later i called them and they flat out lie and say that I wanted a refund and not the food.
leo kyivJune 2, 2015Tried to visit this place on Saturday but it was packed and the line was to long(((
Michelle WendyJanuary 3, 2014Didn't like the pan fried veggie dumplings w/ their thick doughy skin. A thin crispy exterior might have complemented the mush inside better. Meh on two accounts. Wish they'd add scallion pancake!
Claudia FilthApril 29, 2018Not a huge fan of vegetarian restaurants that use fake meat. All dishes are super expensive and lackluster for the price.
NancerellaFebruary 19, 2015Gets pretty packed and wait staff are not that quick but the food is actually not bad at all...

"The only arcade that you can find in Chinatown. It's home to DDR masters and the only 10 player game, Killer Queen. It's an amazing game and worth checking out. Invite some strangers to play too"
