So good. Fresh, delicious, healthy, filling, authentic, budget friendly food. I write like one review every 3-4 years. The pulled pork Jook bowl is so good, I just had to say something. On top of the perfect food, the gentleman behind the counter was super friendly and finished my order before I even had time to put money in the meter. I love this place.

I used to really love this place and I would come by myself to treat myself to lunch. Today I walked in and the service first of all was terrible. Nobody took my order in till they finished everything food and drink for the person in front of me, barely acknowledging me, even though there were two people behind the counter Then I ordered a salmon bowl which cost me about $15. I walked out to eat it and found there to be zero salmon inside the bowl I walked back into show them and the woman completely rudely didn’t even apologize for the mistake. Gave me a tiny scoop full of salmon on top of my bowl and was incredibly rude about it. This place used to be good. I am super disappointed.

The food here is excellent and healthy. Its a great place to meet up with others as you can hear each other talk and the vibe is good. I’m plant-based and really like the options available. Casual dining.

I stumbled upon this total gem! It was easy to select choices from the menu that fit my diet. Like, they get it. I wasn’t really looking for a meal when I walked in, but I sure left with one! Lol The bar attendant was super helpful in suggesting something for me, and very accommodating by tailoring it just for me. I guess doesn’t have to be large in size to serve a powerfully nutritious and delicious play.

If you love tasty food that’s healthy too, check this place out. The various bowls have a ton of variety in them will sorts of little sides on top of rice with a tahini sauce. The chicken bowl is my favorite, but there’s plenty of options for vegetarians as well. Excellent!

I was fairly disappointed with the salmon bowl I ordered today as it had hardly any salmon in it, maybe half an ounce, …if that. Is it meant to be flavored with just a hint of salmon? Recommendation: don’t come here hungry, that’s for sure.

My new lunch obsession healthy and sooo yummy. I got the basic plus avo and tempeh and it was scrumptious. I’ll be dreaming of it.

So glad that this place is here! Ate here twice in one day. Love their breakfast – lots of greens, protein, and good sauces. Good grain bowls. Had a delicious tumeric latte. Looking forward to going here again.

Staff is exceptionally friendly. Plus their menu is extremely unique! Had their Golden Latte (with Tumeric!) and for the first time ever had a Jasmine Tea handmade cold Kambucha… delicious!
