Perfection

If you like mapo tofu and eggplant then you cannot go wrong here. While there are just two vegan options, they are absolutely perfect and it’s definitely one of the best meals I’ve had. The atmosphere was lively and nice.

Pros: Incredible food, Friendly staff, Great atmosphere

Cons: Only two vegan options (but they’re incredible)

Vegan mapo tofu

Super friendly staff. One of the waiters came to me, to dubble check if i'm vegan. I accidently order, a pork dish, assuming that it was plant based/mock meat.

The vegan mapo tofu, was spot on! I even tried to get the recipe, which was top secret;)

Aware that there are just, two vegan dishes; the fried eggplant and the VEGAN mapu tofu.

Tres bon petit restaurant

Les deux options vegan sont excellentes. Le cury au tofu est incroyable, les aubergines tres bonnes. Personnel gentil. Attention : n accepte pas le paiement en cash, uniquemenr Carte de credit (et toute ne fonctionne pas).

Authentic Taiwan taste!

I recently took a vacation to Taiwan and feel in love with their kaleidoscope of exciting flavors and vegetarian options. I had the mapo tofu and fried eggplant. It brought me back to Taiwan. I loved the spices and textures they skillfully prepared. I wish they had more options but I’m happy to eat this again. Super friendly service and lively atmosphere. Love this place. Mango beer is great too!

Pros: Taste is authentic and younger tingling, Fun atmosphere, English menu

Cons: Wish there were more choices

Pretty good!

The spicy eggplant dish was pretty good. It’s listed as a side but the portion is big enough to have it as your main (like I did) or to share it and the tofu as two mains among two people. If you order it to go they will package the sauce separately for you so it doesn’t get soggy. The sauce has a little heat but is also a little sweet. Overall this is a nice little place and the staff is kind and accommodating. I would recommend it for sure. I wish they had more than two vegan options but I was happy with what I was able to eat here (especially since I’m just traveling here and don’t live here).

Two veg options

Tofu was so good! Eggplant was good too, but if you don’t like seafood, you won’t like this dish. The eggplant was fried and cooked with sweet and spicy sauce

Two vegan options

They have vegan Mapo Tofu and Fried Eggplant! Both are great! Sometimes there is a line and wait to get in. Usually super busy.

Delicious

We got to this place on recommendation of a vegan couple we met earlier that day and we found a very nice place serving great food. The vegan choices are limited but nevertheless so tasty, really loved the tofu as well as the fried eggplant. Something different than we tried before!

Pros: Helpful staff, Not to pricy , Delicious
