| - We went for the first time in several years and they have renovated since they changed the name - it's clean and bright and wasn't as awkward as it was in the past. The service was more professional, quick, and friendly and the dishes were well presented. They weren't that busy for late on a Saturday night so there was no wait. We got a kick out of the celebrity celebration ceremony on a wall-mounted flat screen honoring the Supreme Master who called into the show versus showing up in person or via video. The volume was very low and we were a table away so it was hard to hear, but still slightly entertaining.
It's 100% vegan. I can order anything off the menu without fearing that they will accidentally fling bits of meat into my dish. Our only complaint about the food is that it is greasy and most of the dishes are based on meat substitutes rather than creative, non-processed, plant-based options. I read in a forum online that the Supreme Master owns the company that makes the meat substitute products they use (sorry, I don't have more info on that). We ordered the Summer Roll, which was good, but the tofu is fried. The Spicy Cha Cha has chunks of breaded and fried meat substitute that tasted so much like imitation crab meat we couldn't believe it was vegan - our server saw us inspecting it and came over and told us the vegan ingredients (must happen often). The tofu in the Chow Mein was fried too. Also, the Chow Mein didn't have bean sprouts - they are the reason I crave it. Next time we go we will try to order healthier options, or non-fried options. If you are the type of vegetarian/vegan that misses meat-based dishes or you are trying to transition for ethical reasons, this place is perfect. There are a lot of choices on the menu and they even have vegan desserts.
