Ate outside excellent - Edit
I've always liked this place for excellent service, good food and now more of the the same w/ outside seating because of the pandemic. They have good seating arrangements outdoors and it was very good food as usual. Happy I went!

Vegan Asian at its best - Edit
More casual than the sister restaurant Hangawi but as delicious. The seasonal tofu dish was the best tofu I've ever had.

One of my all-time fave vegan spots! - Edit
I can’t love it enough! If you’re a huge fan of Asian food and a vegan, this place is definitely for you. The food is very flavorful and you have options of either picking faux meat dishes or doing just all veggies. The staff is also very knowledgeable of every menu item, down to the tea (literally). It’s also great for non-vegans to go as well since their faux meat options can be quite spot on!
Read morePros: Friendliest staff, Great, flavorful food

Amazing Korean cuisine - Edit
Glad we got to try this place! I never had duck in my life, but we were recommended to try the Peking “duck” buns, and they were amazing! I would’ve eaten them all day if I could have. For entrees we had spicy franchia noodles and drunken basil noodles, which was my favorite... the sauce was so delicious, and we each had a side pumpkin noodle salad which was also very tasty. We completed the meals with a ginger tea and tangerine tea. Def a place worth recommending and going back!
Read morePros: All vegan options , Large menu, Lunch/ drink specials

Bonne bouffe - Edit
Beaucoup de choix!! Tout est vegan: sushis, plat de nouilles, soupe, toutes sortes de sautés coréens avec beaucoup de légumes! Grande sélection de thé, tisane, alcool. Ambiance chaleureuse, mais on peut se sentir vite à l’étroit, surtout aux étages supérieurs. Service efficace. Mangé Chef Noodles Soup, bouillon bien assaisonné, bébé Bok choy, brocoli, carottes, champignons, nouilles de sarrasin... bien bon! Options sans gluten variées.

Fantastic Meal! Highly recommend! :) - Edit
Wow! Fantastic Asian food! Hubby and I started by sharing steamed dumplings (sorry no photo. Forgot.) Dipping sauce made them really yummy. We also each had a mug of delicious ginger tea. Then we shared Braised Tofu with Kabocha Pumpkin and Eggplant (So delicious! We cleaned the plate!). Also shared Vegetarian Curry Hot Pot (Hubby loved it. Slightly too spicy for me, but still good.) I had Cheesecake for dessert (Good, but very slightly too sweet for me.) Service was attentive and friendly. Overall, a fantastic meal! Highly recommend! 😊
Read moreHubby and I were in NY for several days and this was the only place that we had to wait to be seated, but the wait was short on a Wednesday night and it was so worth it!😄

Nicest Staff Ever! - Edit
We found this place on Happy Cow while visiting NYC for the first time last weekend. First of all, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Secondly, the atmosphere is warm, cozy and inviting. The food was awesome. We ordered the dumpling sampler and I've never had those combinations, it was great trying something new. The spring rolls and summer rolls were also delicious-all came with different sauces and we mixed & matched. We enjoyed our meals and got dessert too-the cake and pudding were a sweet ending to a fantastic vegan meal.

Terrible, Bland, Boring - Edit
I dont know how this restaurant got 4 stars when there are so many amazing places in NYC. If you're a tourist you might like this, but as a NYC resident this place was so under par. If you care about your tastebuds dont come here.
Read moreI ate here once and will never return. Menu was huge as if they were trying to make every genre of food. Would much rather have had quality over quantity. Food completely lacked flavor and was all around gross. PLEASE do yourself a favor and skip this spot. Ignore these positive ratings, this place is average at best.
Pros: location?
Cons: Food was bad and not creative, Place was gross looking. Sloppy decor. No
