OK...I'm usually open-minded when trying a new place. I googled it, I read the reviews, and other than knowing that I'd be fighting traffic to get there, I was almost looking forward to it. I knew that I'd be home in time for game 4 of the series, and was kinda looking forward to catching up with my sister-in-law and her family, in addition to celebrating my mother-in-law's birthday.
This place sucked! I ordered the spinach pancakes and steamed spinach dumplings (I asked for all of it to be brought with the entrees - of course, they weren't)...well, the spinach pancake (yes, only one) came out and there was no freakin' spinach to be found. I was expecting somewhat of a potato-based (or other starch) dish heavily strewn with spinach. WRONG! Basically, it was a big fried wonton cut like a small pizza. The only flavor that was present was deep-fried dough and coconut oil. Then the dumplings came - again, I was expecting steamed dough surrounding a ball of spinach - WRONG! It was steamed dough surrounding a mesh of carrots and cabbage - I guess the dough was made with spinach water 'cause there wasn't a damn leaf anywhere to be found.
Anyway, the rest of the party ordered General Tso's (imitation) chicken, Shrimp (imitation) and walnuts, Sesame (imitation) chicken, and imitation beef and broccoli. EVERYTHING was battered and deep-fried. Vegan does not necessarily mean healthy and each of these (all of which included flash-fried raw broccoli) probably had more artery clogging fat than Stanley's (soon to be famous) Tater Tots with Bacon and Brie! I sampled each, and the best thing of all of them were the freakin' walnuts. I have NEVER been so disappointed in any type of fare. They didn't even have a freakin' liquor license and none of the assholes that reviewed the place on-line and said what a great place it was bothered to mention this little tid bit. Oh yeah, and the pina coloda smoothie that I ordered was WARM!
If kosher and vegan are what you're looking for, you can do better than this place.
