I can't really understand how this place actually has pretty good reviews and has been open for 10 years.
I was pleasantly surprised to find out that for a vegetarian restaurant.... 90% of the menu was vegan.
But other than that, it all went downhill from there and there were only disappointments.
This seemed like a cheap (vegan) buffet. The kind of buffet that you regret eating at and feel totally disgusting with afterwards. Not that I remember that feeling very well, nor do I want to, but it does remind me of how gross I would feel after eating at some fast food resto 10 plus years ago.
There just had to have been a ton of MSG in that food!
We were a party of 3 and decided to try their all-you-can-eat tasting menu so that we can share a bunch of different dishes (tapas style little dishes served to your table).
Everything kind of tasted the same and everything was kind of mild. The sauces were mostly very starchy and bland. Everything seemed to have a whole bunch of filler in them.
It was nice to know that the sushi rolls could have been made with a rice wrapper. But too bad they were mostly rice with a tiny piece of something inside. (the rice was so sweet that there must have been a ton ton ton of sugar in it!)
Even the raviolis with peanut sauce weren't good, how could you mess up a peanut sauce? The curry was mild and boring. We tried almost everything on the menu, 20+ dishes and they were all one disappointment after another.
Also, all the mock meats were totally tasteless. They looked pretty, but completely had no flavor. (I kind of realized that mock meat is not my thing either- why would I want it to look like a shrimp or piece of duck? Gross.)
This simple red rice was actually tasty. And the fresh spring rolls were pretty good, but bring your own sauce.
