This restaurant totally hit the spot for lunch today. The vibe was warm and inviting, and the lemongrass soup was a total game-changer. The broth was so flavorful and refreshing, with hints of ginger and spice that really kicked things up a notch.

Amazing food, I got a soy milk tea with passion fruit, scallion pancake, and Malaysian curry stew. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Being vegan does not feel like a drawback at all. I highly recommend if you are in Arlington!

Calming, relaxed, casual dining experience. Get to eat classic Chinese-American fare with a vegan take on all the dishes. Not a vegan myself but I can assure that you can’t tell it isn’t meat. Only downside is the place needs to serve some white rice. Yall Asian,...Read More

Tried this vegan restaurant for the 1st time while in town for work! Genuinely awesome food. Reminds me of loving hut and one of my other fave vegan Asian spots in ATL. I will definitely check this place out again when I'm back.

One of my favorite dinner spots. They have so many gluten free options. My favorite is the Pad Thai. I do wish they had outdoor seating in the summer.
