They offer vegetarian and vegan options, which my sister and I appreciated. We tried the Aubergine Greens Sammie without the Government Cheese and the Winter Root Bowl, both of which were very tasty. For dessert, they surprised us with a vegan option not on the menu. It was a banana in an egg-free egg roll wrap, fried with chocolate sauce and PB2 (peanut butter powder). There were definitely other flavors we missed, but it was delicious! Thank you Boriken for the incredible experience. The food, staff, and atmosphere were all fantastic.

The waitress was knowledgeable and what she wasn’t sure of went and asked the chef. I got the New York strip with rice and greens and the greens were seriously the best I’ve ever had! We got the short ribs for an appetizer and they were defiantly tasty. All in all great service great food.

Ramen was amazing! They were great when taking care of food allergies. Will eat the Asian short ribs again as they were tasty and an amazing appetizer! read more Ramen was amazing!

It wasn't mentioned anywhere, which didn't surprise me because the food was disappointing. I ordered two tacos, one with shredded beef and the other with ground beef. The ground beef was so overly salty that it was inedible. I didn't want to ruin the experience for the young couple who came in after us and ordered the same. My wife's veggie burrito was also overly sweet. Even the diet Coke was undrinkable. Instead of sticking around, we decided to leave. I hope they can turn things around, but it doesn’t seem promising.
