The atmosphere of the main dining area was nice and modern, but unfortunately, we were seated in a side room that felt like an afterthought. It was bland, boring, and sparsely populated, with cheap-looking tables and barely any music to create ambiance. The service was...Read More

The SOB Burger was delicious. The kimchi collard greens... Holy cow. Slightly smokey with a tangy kimchi spiciness without overpowering the southern delicacy. The Gouda Mac and cheese and the lasagna bake were pretty good. The Mac and cheese lacked the creaminess I expected from...Read More

Also tried the chickpea burger... had good flavor, was beautifully plated, gorgeous bun & the patty did not hold together.... yummy, but I think I would call it a chickpea sandwich, not a burger. Fries were crisp & delicious. Ask for the kimchi sauce!

The General Tso’s Cauliflower was crispy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend! Also ordered an enchilada bowl- they forgot my tortillas, but it tasted fine. My husband enjoyed his burger. Gluten free options clearly labeled on the menu. Would definitely return!

Wow! This is a cool restaurant in Memphis with delicious food. We had the General Tso Cauliflower, Chicken Enchilada Bowl, Blackened Catfish, and Salmon. All four dishes were seasoned well and a great combination of flavors. Our server, Taylor, took great care of us....Read More

The menu had items clearly marked. Our server also has celiac so we knew we were in good hands. The food was so good. We didn’t feel like the gluten free options were an afterthought.

Great atmosphere and amazing service. The Philly egg rolls weren't anything to write home about, but the chicken shawarma bowl was more than exceptional. I would like to have had a bit more of the sauce as the rice was bland without it.

Decent wines served at reasonable prices. The complimentary popcorn was unfortunately soggy. Cool idea. I tried 3 appetizers. General TSO cauliflower, Duck fried rice & Chicken bao. The fusion idea is great provided they are prepared with correct amount of spices. I give them a 3 Star. Their bread...Read More
