Great casual dinner with coworkers! Really tasty food in a laid back environment. Well marked vegan and gluten free options. Loved the tofu bugs and the sesame noodle salad. The mushroom calamari special lacked flavor, though—mostly just tasted “fried” Updated from previous review on 2022-10-20

The bahn mi sandwich was good, though I've had better elsewhere. I liked the chicken sandwich, but some component was too vinegary for my taste. Updated from previous review on 2022-10-02

The chicken royale sandwich was tasty, but the fried green tomatoes were just ok. The carrot cake was not very good, the cake itself was too dense/dry and the frosting was way too thick and sugary and not cream cheese-based like you typically see in carrot cake

We got the po boy, chicken sandwich, garlic fries, and asian nuggets via takeout. Everything was quite tasty! Great option if you're in the area.

This is one of my favorite vegan friendly restaurants in Chicago. Plus it’s affordable and you get a lot of food.
