It wasn't as good as I had hoped it would be. It doesn't really elevate vegetables and instead, kind of gets lost masking them based only on the three things we ordered. But the food isn't bad. It doesn't stand out, but it's good. This average/normal theme extends to its service and speed of food coming out too.
We sat at the bar where there are four seats, and it wasn't bad because we were the only ones there. It's very dim inside and the noise level is reasonable, so it feels like your conversations are private.
APPETIZER/SNACK: Onion Bhaji ($8)
---------------------------------------------------
These are basically fritters. They were really good and the sauce was great too. I just wish there were more. I mean, it's just vegetables and batter. But this was kind of a no-brainer. Almost anything fried is great.
MAIN: Yuba Sandwich ($13)
---------------------------------------------------
Mine was not greasy. I'm not even sure where grease so severe that it's all over your fingers would come from, so that wasn't an issue. It was pretty good and it's quite a big portion of food. You'll definitely get full. In terms of transforming something vegan into an imitation meat dish, I think they nailed the presentation, but the taste could have been better. When I started to get too full, I picked the sandwich apart to just eat the insides without the bread and it wasn't not very good this way. It tasted exactly the way you would expect a vegetable-trying-to-be-meat to taste, which is not that great. With the bread and whatever's on the bread, it was much more enjoyable. Fries were averagely good. I didn't really touch the gravy because it was just brown salty water.
MAIN: Quinoa Polenta ($14)
---------------------------------------------------
I didn't have much of this one, but the one bite that I did have was very salty. It looks like a small bowl, but my friend said there was a lot of kale in it and that it was very filling. They had to pack it up.
SODA: Boylan Cola ($3)
---------------------------------------------------
I don't know why I keep trying these cane sugar. Every time I've tried a cane sugar at the recommendation of someone who claims there is no aftertaste, I'm always disappointed. It tastes weird and there is a stronger aftertaste than regular Coke.
