All 5 tipsShow fewer
  • Ask about adding tofu to a bowl; one reviewer especially liked it pan-fried in the Tropical Rainstorm Bowl.
  • The dining area is small and the restaurant doesn't take reservations, so be prepared to wait briefly for a table.
  • The menu is color-coded, but a reviewer previously found dietary labels hard to identify; ask staff to confirm an item is vegan.
