There was one item on the menu that caught my attention enough to make us want to have dinner here: Gardein Chick'n Pot Stickers. These dumplings filled with steamed chick'n and cabbage had the kind of flavor that reminded me of my meat eating days (in a good way). Just this one item alone made me so happy, I would've given this place 5-stars. http://bit.ly/2jTUMHi
But it only got better from here!
Palm Pocket was a mix of hearts of palm, corn, ginger, garlic. I loved the bit of crunchiness from the filling. http://bit.ly/2kPFNQd
Buddha's Feast had this amazingly tasty brown garlic sauce tossed in with baby bok choy, bell peppers, bean sprouts, and other hearty veggies. I considered licking the plate when we finished this. http://bit.ly/2kOX20Y
We ended the evening with a Chocolate Brownie and a scoop of Raspberry Lychee Sorbet. Definitely one of the best vegan brownies I've ever had! Dense, moist, light caramelization from the sugar. I loved that the sorbet was equally as awesome as the brownie. I've never had those fruit flavors mixed together and it works well. The chocolate rice crispies sprinkled on top added a nice texture. http://bit.ly/2jTSh7H
Note to vegans: The chocolate decoration wedged in the sorbet is not vegan. http://bit.ly/2keRDAt
The atmosphere is fancy and pretentious. But hey, it's Vegas and a little pretentiousness never hurt anybody. Our waiter was super helpful when it came to knowing the vegan-ness of the dishes. In fact, he was the one who made sure the Meateater BF ate the milk chocolate garnish in our dessert. I also appreciate that this place is open late. I'm not used to vegan-friendly restaurants staying open past 10pm.
