• Very foodie, (but amazing)

This is probably my favorite restaurant, though I feel it has been mis-represented on happy cow. Me and my dad stumbled in after hiking the mile-and-a-half hike from the art museum thinking this place was a casual eatery. It's not. The restaurant is tiny, in a cosy way not a claustrophobic way, and was SUPER full. We were "stuck" in really cute little window seats and given a menu. The waitor informed us that the plates were tiny and designed to be shared. We ordered 5 plates pretty quicky (there were maybe 20 to choose from). The best thing about this place was how they spaced the food. First up was the Cauliflower "65" and the phili flatbread. The 65 was amazing, the mint chutney perfectly accented the SpIcY red curry. The flat bread was more mild, and had awesome complex flavors (though it didn't really have the mouth-feel of broccoli b/c it was cooked different then Im used to). Next was the cooked carrots w/ avocado, a black bean puree and colwslaw. Every aspect of this was FANTASTIC. I probably could have made something similar to the carrots, but the bean puree and the coleslaw where DIVINE. Next came the Korean Tacos with radish kimchee and tofu. These were awesome and by far the largest dish. They were spicy and sweet and crispy all at once. I could have just eaten a whole plate of these! Finally came the spicy mushroom noodles (they have a proper name, but it escapes me). These were insanely spicy (though my mouth started burning after the tacos so it might have been partially residual), but I suffered through for the flavor. Best. Mushrooms. Ever. Most mushrooms are trying to be something they're not, but not these. These were basking in their crispy mushroom-y glory. The sauce and noodles were great, the mushrooms were simply divine! I finished off the meal with a sweet-tahini icecream. It. Was. Awesome. The cherries were soaked in some delicious syrup and the sweet tahini flavor, while it sounds off-putting, was the best vegan icecream I had ever had. I am writing this and trying to digest as I ate WAAAYYY too much. If I went again I would probably not order the flatbread, it was fantastic, but it was expensive and I don't feel it added much to the meal.
