| - I took my family to this place after reading some reviews, although only one was from a vegan. I figured if the rest of the food is good, maybe the vegan one will be, too. Unfortunately, it just wasn't.
My vegan meal started with the house salad and peanut dressing. As soon as the salad arrived, I knew it wasn't vegan. It was unlike any peanut dressing I've ever seen. When I asked what it was made of, the server told me it was made from peanut butter and mayonnaise (and therefore not vegan). But even if it had been, it was one of he saddest looking salads I'd ever seen. It was nothing but iceberg and dressing.
I then ordered the miso soup, but not before asking whether it had fish stock or broth. I was assured that it did not. It tasted fine but when I was about halfway done I found a tiny bit of something that I'm sure was meat. I'm positive.
I ordered the vegetable stir fry for my main course. I couldn't eat it, I just couldn't. For starters, it was loaded with corn starch, which makes food very gelatinous, and vegans uneasy. It also didn't taste very good. It was one-dimensional and lacked sweetness. The rice was also not cooked very well.
My sister ordered the salmon, which she liked just fine. My brother ordered the lemon chicken and he did not like (or eat) it. He said it tasted unlike traditional lemon chicken, whatever that tastes like. :/ My mother ordered the mongolian beef, which was a customer favorite according to the server, however, it was salty beyond consumption according to my mother.
Here are the good points, the staff was friendly, no mater how many questions I asked, and the place had a nice ambiance.
Unfortunately, the staff and ambiance will not be enough for any of us to go back.
