| - I'm vegan myself, but I don't understand the appeal of vegan restaurants like this. Overpriced food you can make yourself, decently long waits because there's not much space, expectations that you tip generously because nobody is paid a living wage...
One of the dishes I tried was basically tater-tots, a type of a vegan cheese (the curd type), and gravy. Folks, buy a bag of frozen tater-tots (which they tasted like), google a recipe for vegan cheese (it's really easy), and buy some gravy. Same dish, 1/4 the price (or less), 5 minutes of your time to prepare it. Same for the "coffins" - you can get scallions pancakes that taste even better at the Chinese store in the strip district. Fill it with veggies of your choice.
Color me unimpressed, but the hype surrounding this place is baffling. This is why I avoid "vegan restaurants" and stick with ethnic places when I eat out. It's just not worth the money.
