| - Quinoa onion rings. Enough said.
But on a more formal note, this place serves up great vegetarian/vegan food. I was never into the whole vegetarian/vegan scene but one of my friends loves that stuff and she really wanted to show me this place so we decided to have dinner here.
The decor of this place is pretty standard and simple. Nothing to write home about but it was loud and packed with a lot of people! We had to wait in line for about 20-30 minutes for two people. They do have a take-out option as well, so if you're iffy about waiting but you still want to try their food, call ahead to place an order!
Onto their menu. It's quite extensive. With so many dishes to choose from, it's hard to decide right away what you want. They are also part juice bar, so they have an huge variety of the different types of smoothies and juices for you to choose from as well!
Right away, I knew what I was going to order. My friend has got me sold on this place when she told me that they had QUINOA ONION RINGS! What are these rings? Can I eat them? (Of course I can, I'm just exaggerating a little). I was so intrigued and curious as to how this dish would come out to be so I ordered a side of that. I had the option of ordering their dipping sauces so I chose garlic mayo. It was made out of vegan mayo so that'll be interesting.
I also got the the Powerhouse Fresh Bowl. You got to choose your carb, either rice or soba noodles. My friend said the soba noodles was much better than the rice so soba noodles it was!
Ordered. Chatted. Laughed. Bam. Our food came.
The Quinoa Onion Rings was something that I was not expecting. In my head I thought, was it going to be stuffed inside with quinoa and chopped onions?
I was wrong, it was just onion rings with a crispy golden quinoa batter. They were huge and fried (or baked?) perfectly. Crispy to the touch and absolutely delicious. You see, I'm a big fan of onion rings and these bad boys were perfect. The garlic mayo dip was so good! It was my first time having vegan mayo and it had the consistency and the taste of sour cream. It was strangely addicting.
Now onto the mains, my friend's BBQ burger looked delicious. I thought it only came with one piece of quinoa onion ring on top but it came with three! So if you're thinking of trying the quinoa onion rings and don't want to order a side order of it on it's own, the BBQ burger is a great choice for first time Fresh eaters!
My fresh bowl looked like a bowl of rabbit food. Good rabbit food in fact. Deep down I'm a meat lover but this bowl of food satisfied the hell out of me. It came with two pieces of tofu steak and it was my first time ever eating this. Took my first bite and it tasted like a piece of cooked meat. The marinade for these tofu steaks was on point and it was cooked perfectly. Choosing the soba noodles was a good idea because it really tied the whole dish together perfectly. It was refreshing to have soba noodles instead of rice because it was something a little bit different than the usual (being Chinese, we eat rice like every single day). Bonus because the chewy consistency of the noodles paired up well with the crunch of the veggies.
Overall, it was a great dining experience. Really packed and small. Seemed to always be busy and line-ups are inevitable but it's definitely worth the wait.
