| - So the wifesky said we should eat something healthy today and wanted to give this place a try.
Well, if the little lady wants to try this place out, that's what we'll do!
Location & Aesthetics - located in Phoenix on N 7th. Street.
A word of caution, if you use Google Maps (like I did) to search for this place, it'll show you a location on Scottsdale road (2240 N Scottsdale Rd #8
Tempe, AZ 85281) which obviously isn't the location for this restaurant as listed by Yelp (2022 N 7th St, Phoenix, AZ 85004). I'm not sure if they're both affiliated or not.
When you're driving on N 7th St. and you don't know what you're looking for, it's easy to miss the restaurant.
The signage is large but it's decorative with decorative writing so drove past it. The entrance too can be easy to miss as it's a bit small and the signage to enter was just as small.
The parking is very limited and also....small, so if you've got a monster truck or SUV, you might have difficulty parking in the back. Parking is also shared with their sister restaurant called Nami located next door that apparently serves vegetarian pastries.
We were lucky to snag a parking spot however, if the parking lot was full, then I'm not sure where else we would've been able to park. (-1)
The outside had the usual seating for dinning but was small in size and close to the busy road.
The interior was also on the small side.
At first we didn't know if we had to be seated first and wait to be waited on, but after seeing a line forming by the cashier, we promptly joined it.
Apparently what you do is grab a menu, join the line, and while you're waiting to get to the front of the line, you choose your items to order. Then you pay, you're given a number which you place at the edge of your table of your choosing wherever you wish to sit providing there's seating.
I'm guessing if the place was packed, I'm not sure where we would've sat. Perhaps we would've ordered to go.
Menus - the menu was self-explanatory. The cashier who took our orders answered any questions we had about the food and the drinks.
Service - once staff brings out your food, we didn't see them again checking in on us. Seems like they're there to either bring out the food and clean the tables/area.
Food - I had the big Wac -- 2 hand packed vegan burgers, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame bun and the thyme fries (you can choose fruit or a tahini salad).
The thyme fries didn't taste different than regular fries which I guess is a good thing but it was certainly crunchy, fresh, hot, and very tasty. It certainly wasn't oily and greasy like regular fries was.
The vegan burger also didn't taste like a vegan burger and in fact, I thought I was going to be biting into a piece of cardboard. While it wasn't meat from ground beef, it was certainly very tasty and didn't lack any flavors as I thought it would. In fact, the special sauce, cheese, pickles, and onions only served to enhance the flavor of the veggie burger patties itself and brought out the taste even more. Even the sesame bun was soft and fresh as if it was just baked.
I think the various vegan items on the menu is enough to bring me back however I'm a bit leery of how small the establishment and their parking is.
