What to Order
1000 Layer Crispy Potatoes
These potatoes are a textural marvel, crispy on the outside and soft within, often served with a luxurious touch of caviar.
"The 1000 layer potatoes with caviar were one of the most unique dishes we’ve had. crispy on the outside, soft inside, and just insanely good. My kids were literally licking the plate."
Liz Kaplan
Bang Bang Broccoli
A consistently praised starter, this broccoli dish offers a delightful crunch and a flavourful sauce that appeals to vegans and non-vegans alike.
"The bang bang broccoli was exceptional, the burger better than ever and the pizza excellent."
Sheila Casemore
Chicken Fried Mushroom
This dish reimagines fried chicken with mushrooms, offering a satisfying texture and a balanced sweet and spicy sauce.
"The chicken fried mushroom didn’t really taste like mushroom, and the sauce had a nice sweet and spicy balance without being overpowering."
Liz Kaplan
Torched and Pressed Roll
A popular sushi roll that's often ordered in multiples, known for its unique preparation and delicious taste.
"We ordered the pepperoni pizza, two torched and pressed rolls because the first was done immediately, chicken fried mushroom (which I forgot to photograph), and the 1000 layer potatoes."
Liz Kaplan
Pepperoni Pizza
A plant-based pizza that impressively mimics traditional pepperoni, both in appearance and taste, making it a hit even with adventurous eaters.
"We ordered the pizza because it looked amazing online and it absolutely lived up to it. The pepperoni looked so real, even curling like traditional pepperoni."
Liz Kaplan
Mushroom Kimchi Bao Buns
These bao buns are a recommended starter, combining savory mushrooms with the tangy kick of kimchi.
"I recommend the beet Tartare and mushroom kimchi bao buns to start."
