Pros: very large vegan and kosher Asian menu. Good ambiance and service. Anything fried was really pretty good (but that is hardly surprising).

Cons: The food was really just kinda average. More expensive than one might think. Not a good combination.

So, for more details, we (three people) were there for dinner a got a big sampler platter that contained maybe six different appetizers. I actually thought this was the best thing we had. Most of of them were fried in some manner, though… not exactly healthy, but they were tasty. We also got three different entrees: fried tofu in an almond sauce, oyster mushroom florentine, and a noodle dish with mock duck. The almond thing was alright, but the sauce was not really almond-y. Actually, all of the dishes were just alright. They seemed a bit heavily sauced, and the sauces were a bit on the bland side.

One of the people I was with had been here before, but she said that last time she was there everything was much better, so perhaps the quality of the menu is uneven. Or maybe one should just get the fried stuff.

Bill total for three people was $75 with tip… included the big appetizer, three entrees, 2 orders of rice, and 3 hot teas. That was pretty steep for the quality of the dinner. Going here for lunch would be a far better deal as I believe they have inexpensive lunch specials.
