My friends and I come here at night usually to grab a quick bite. We have also been here around 6 for dinner. It gets busy with the after work crowd/hipster students.
The menu has a decent selection and everything is $5. There are selections for Vegetarians, but I am not sure if there are Vegan friendly meals. On occasion they leave somethings out of a meal (ex. chicken and avocado from the Union street Noodle Salad) and we will send it back and they fix it.
Service can also be hit or miss depending on who your waitress is. Ask for a pitcher of water at the beginning of your meal so you won't be chasing the waitstaff for a refill.
Depending on the night it can be busy (Thursday - Saturday) and sometimes there's a line outside the doors. We prefer to sit on the patio if there's room so we can hear each other talk. The inside is loud and the TV screens are playing music videos.
You can buy a beer for the chef or a meal for the less fortunate which is cool too.
