VEGAN INFO:
I needed the skinny on their vegan options for a vegan site, so I spoke with a manager and requested a list of their ingredients. She was very helpful and patient, and luckily Foosia has a list of the ingredients for all of their sauces and toppings (I promise you, not every restaurant/eatery does).
All of the sauces are vegan except the Muay Thai Vinaigrette, which contains a fish
byproduct.
As for the toppings, everything was vegan except for the hard boiled eggs (duh), and the crispy wonton wrappers, which contain eggs.
My most recent visit:
I went in tonight, after 8:30pm (they close at 9pm), thinking I'd just see if they had anything left that still looked fresh. It's extremely rare that I eat past 7pm, but Manic Monday + back to school shopping left me drained and in need of healthy nourishment, STAT. As I peeked through the looking glass searching for the tofu, one of the employees offered to help me. "Are you out of tofu?" I asked. He said, "Yes, but we can make some more." I was like, "No, that's ok. I know it's almost closing time." But he insisted and assured me that it was no problem, and he was very genuine about it. It had been a few months since I visited so I couldn't recall which sauce was my fav. He happily allowed me to taste a few and my Holy Foobanero (a spicy sauce with a hit of sweetness) love was rediscovered. By the time my sauce taste test was over, my tofu was ready. The employee (maybe he was a manager; if he isn't, he deserves a promotion) asked if I'd like to dine in; I graciously declined. As he packed my to-go order, he re-assured me that I was welcome back any time. Usually when you enter an establishment close to closing time you're greeted with the daggers-of-death stares and major attitude. Not here. The man (should be manager), and even the cook would cooked up my fresh order of tofu, was so very nice and friendly that it really put a smile on my face. It also made me feel bad for taking so long to come back.
The food? My (late) vegan meal consisted of brown rice, tofu, wok glazed veggies (which were still fresh), fresno chiles, green onions, and extra Holy Foobanero. It was so fresh and so good. Simply delicious. Filling too, yet not heavy. I could only eat 1/2 of it. I did notice that the prices increased slightly; a tofu bowl was $7.50 in April, now it's $8. Just an observation.
I like that they seem to be eco-friendly too, from the to-go containers to the napkins. And they have designated recycle bins inside the restaurant, which has a nice, large, clean, open dining area.
So again, the food in and of itself is very good (healthy, fresh, & flavorful!), but the excellent customer service kicked my experience up several more notches. I will frequent them much more often.
