The taro tea is spooned out; not exactly sure if it's premixed before getting to the restaurant, or mixed and prepared in advanced by the employees, but either way tastes very yummy and fresh and it's quick. I also tried the watermelon juice with boba and the watermelon tasted EXACTLY like watermelon. Also very delicious. Service is quick, drinks are yummy. The boba was PERFECT.. chewy, not underdone.
I would give it a 8/10 (still have to try out other things there before I give a higher score :) ).

the focaccia bread at the beginning was very tasty.. especially when they brought out the balsamic vinegar and olive oil to dip it into (actually they brought that out for the caprese salad)... i love caprese salad.. they have a fat free mozzarella option, but i forgot to ask for that, so we had the full fat, full flavor cheese.. the greens were very tasty.
gnocchi... i've had much better.. there was some weird taste to it that i didn't like too much.
gelato.. yup, had to have the chocolate gelato. the serving size is huge.. and the wafer they put in it was veryyy crispy and yummy... veryy yummy thinking about it makes me crave it right now...

parking is sparce in this area, so give yourself some time to find some backstreet parking or if you're lucky meter parking. We ordered edamame, tempura veggies, avocado roll, cucumber roll, udon, green tea mochi ice cream, and chocolate parfait. I got a taste of everything except the avocado roll cuz i dont like avocados.
edamame - under par.. i have had better from the frozen tj's edamame and boiling it myself...
tempura - i realized i'm not into battered and fried products.. it's just too much oil and my face cannot take it. heh. don't get me wrong.. i love my french fries, but i dont like anything battered anymore.
cucumber roll - simple,... nothing spectacular.. tasted fine
udon - was delish, tasted like udon.. how do you mess that up anyway.
mochi - tooo green tea-ish for my tastes.. i ddin't like it
parfait - yuuuuuum.. thsi was super yummy... loved it. very chocolatey... u can't go wrong with chcoolate ice cream
the acoustics in the restaurant were horrible... people were really loud and i had to yell to get ayren to hear me. it was very annoying. there was a wailing baby behind us too. (whaling, waling... sp?)... the service was suuuuuuuuuuuper slow. all around.. even to just get our bill it was super slow.

Let me just say first off... 10/10
I loveeeeed the food and i'm still dreaming about it now. Ayren and I ordered the Soy Amigo (like a taco salad) and a Philly Peppersteak Sandwich. All of it vegan.. and all of it sooooooooo good. I've been to a couple other vegan places that didn't taste all that good... this was sooooooooooooooooooooo good. seasoned very good. i also had the iced tea that was slightly sweetened and just perfect too.
I highly recommend this restaurant. It's sort of hidden between a Kickboxing studio and some asian restaurant. Don't miss it..

Definitely my kinda place. Nice dark earth tones, piano, exposed kitchen (not necesarily my kinda thing, but it proves that the kitchen can function cleanly, efficiently, and moderately quietly)
Mushroom Risotto - Coulda had more mushroom flavour to it. Well-cooked, not soupy. I added the cheese from Zet's salad to it, and whereas the cheese itself wasn't totally up my alley, it all added up to something pretty good.
Steak Frites - ALways a classic favourite. HOw can you go wrong with steak and fries? Served with bernaise (hollandaise with tarragon, which has a licorice taste, again classic) and garlic fries.. heaven.
Chcolate lava cake - Good stuff. I couldn't quite put my hand on which kind of sauce was on there besides the chocolate one.. It was translucent and sweet, that's about it.
ALl in all I'd say 7/8 only due to presentatiuon. For what it was, it was good. I'd definitely go there to dine off the regular menu.

VERYYYYYY tasty and healthy food. entire menu has nutritional value for each meal. andy's flaxseed pancakes were huge and compared to the size, quite low in points (9). I had the eggs, which were quite low in points (3).. andy's dad had some kind of egg wrap which was also very delicious, I didn't calc the points tho.
I would go back again and try other things... makes life easy to calculate points and the food was yummy.
8.5/10

Vegan/vegetarian food .. apparently the satin was good, veggie burger was bad. I had the mexical salad, which was tasty if it didn't have celery and avacado.
