Fresh, tasty food

I went at a quiet time of day, so service was quick. The waitress was lovely and had a list of vegan options. There are limited options, but they are fresh and tasty.
The bao buns (their specialty) are not vegan, it contains milk (>.

Decent

A few good choices on the menu, and the food is fairly tasty.

For an area that seems to struggle (which I completely understand) this is worth a shot for sure.

Great but could be improved

Came in for dinner. We didn't have a booking but waited at the bar for a drink before a table became available (about 20 mins). Absolutely fine, they were clearly busy (queue out of the door for takeaway after we arrived) and the staff were lovely.

After we were sat, the food was another half an hour - again, not too bad for somewhere so popular. We had issues lying (card system went down), so I had to run out for cash, which wasn't the end of the world but a little frustrating and added to the wait.

We ordered: tofu bao bun, tofu sushi bowl, Vietnamese loaded fries and some edamame.

Overall, the food was fine, but nothing stand-out. The bao was both of our favourite and the fries also v good. The sushi bowl was fine, but the rice was cold but the time it arrived (fries also had clearly been waiting around for a bit), but just had a bit of salad and tofu on. Edamame could have done with some seasoning - they were really bland. No condiments available (would have been great to have some soy sauce or maybe even sriracha?).

Overall, I'm probably being quite critical for a small town Asian fusion restaurant. Very much worth a visit and great for vegan options, just possibly needs some work in terms of service and condiments / seasoning.

Pros: Fairly priced, Take away available

Cons: Long wait, even after being seated

Tofu sushi bowl

Tofu sushi bowl is perfect to powerfully propel you along the extremely strenuous and lengthy first day of the Milford track

Deliciously Ditto

We had a choice of 4 vegan dishes so ordered 3 between the two of us, expecting to still be hungry when finished. Oh no we weren’t! Generous portions came out from the kitchen, creatively presented and delicious to eat. We were so happy with our vegan style choices of the tofu bowl, dipping tofu and the Vietnamese loaded fries. You choose what you want to eat then go and order at the front desk. Reservations are not accepted so dine on a first come, first served basis. You can just wait until a table becomes available, sit outside or opt for a takeaway. Cash and card accepted. Staff earned themselves a nice tip for doing what they do and for doing it well. Thank you Team Ditto!

Pros: Allergen aware staff, Calm and efficient service, Decent pricing of good food

Yummy sushi bowl

I got the crispy tofu bowl 2 nights in a row, being a vegan with lots of food intolerances, this was one of the only options around for me. It was super tasty, a good portion size and very fresh.

Pros: Really tasty, fresh food

Cons: Not a wealth of options

Friendly and nice

Went there on a weekday lunch. Asked about the allium-free option; the kitchen staff came out and nicely explained what they could do. Had a Crispy Tofu Sushi Bowl with garlics and onions removed. It was nice and fresh! However, I did not mention no spring onion, so got spinkled spring onions in the bowl. It was easy enough to remove and the fault was on me. For allium-free eaters, don't forget to mention no spring onion as well.
