| - I have been told great things about this restaurant so I had extremely high expectations, and was slightly disappointed. Growing up in a family where things are very strongly flavoured, food from Fresh seemed a bit too delicately flavoured for me. Some may argue that it is b/c they're vegetarian, but I've had my share of vegetarian food, and none of them have seemed bland to me before (ex. tofu is an amazing flavour soaker!). I ordered one of the burgers and was disappointed that the patty kept falling apart. As a somewhat pricey restaurant (for a student budget), I would expect them to have perfected their burger making skills so the patty wouldn't break into many pieces. However, their vegan mayo is pretty amazing, if it came in a bottle I would've bought it in a heartbeat. I also notice many Asian influences, and I don't know how I feel about it. Being Asian myself, I felt their pairing of ingredients for the "asian" inspired food was sort of awkward and unappealing for my palette. Kind of "wannabe" Asian. I think fresh is an experience that you either like or you don't like. I personally do not like it and will not be returning, but I will recommend it to vegans and vegetarians, because they may appreciate it more than me.
