If Goldilocks was looking for the perfect fit, she would have found it here. Everything my parents and I ordered on our jaunt here was the perfect amount and flavor. Mama bear, papa bear, and baby bear left full and happy! Even papa bear, with his extreme loathing of mushrooms ate all four of the mushroom dishes all up! The plating was superb and the flavor of everything was spot-on. The favorite dishes were the peppery mushroom hot plate and the butternut squash and fungi soup. The jiaozi was also a big hit. They don't seem to use any TVP and very little oil. As my parents are salt, sugar, oil free in the states, they really liked the break from the normal vegan fare of oily TVP in sugary sauces. When leaving, we didn't have that bottom-heavy feeling that comes from the extremely oily usual vegan fare found all around China. The restaurant locale is easy to get to, the ambiance (like a cafe and bookstore rolled into one) was lovely, and best of all it was CLEAN! This is a Buddhist establishment so there is no alcohol and they do not use garlic or onions. The staff speak little English and there are no English explanations or titles on the menu, but there are pictures on the iPad they place on the table to order. The only real negative is that once the place gets crowded, it's a bit loud.
