Remarks

This is a trendy vaguely Asian inspired vegan restaurant. The food is good but it's very expensive, and in my mind not worth the price tag.

We got the udon noodles in truffle cream, extremely creamy (although we wish they had some bread or something to sop up the sauce), the bao sliders which were quite tasty, the general d's cauliflower whichwere tasty but I wish were crunchier/crispier and the crispy gyoza, which were not better than any average gyoza.

It ended up being around $150 all up for 2 people (including tips and tax). With that we did get a bottle of wine because they're half price on wednesdays. I think it's too much for something that isn't completely amazing. But I'm glad vegan restaurants like this are being successful.

Last sampled 27th April 2022.
