Good Vegan Asian Cuisine - Edit
I had the delicious korean bbg chik'n sandwich with caesar salad and was surprised how good the salad was. The "bacon" mushrooms were really good. Sandwich definitely hit that chicken itch I've had since recently converting. Girlfriend got the Volcano sushi that was also very good! We also got the crispy gyoza which we had ordered first, but ended up coming last. We were pretty full after our meals already, but we cleaned up the gyoza just as easily lol. Highly recommended. Kombucha Mojito also very good, but hard to recommend a $15 drink.

Amazing Upscale Vegan Restaurant! - Edit
This is a perfect restaurant. I loved the vibe, it’s a pleasant and upscale restaurant with lots of space, comfortable seating, and great service. It’s usually hard to find fancier vegan restaurants that you can go to for a date night but this is definitely that!
Read moreWe tried a bunch of things and everything was amazing. I will say the appetizers and dessert were my favorite, and I wasn’t a big fan of the cocktail I ordered.

Nice place, tasty food. They have plenty of tables and a small bar. Kombucha mojito was delicious and refreshing. For food, I got the truffle fried rice and added fried tofu. Good filling portion, tasty, and not too dominated by the truffle.

Exceptionally good food. - Edit
This place has the decor and menu of a modern, trendy, populist venue. I’m sure it’s the sort of place that appeals to non-vegans and will delight them (which is great).
Read moreThe food is superb. Plenty of actual plants and legumes (try the beans and lentils side) and the flavours and textures are great.
Strongly recommend the steamed dumplings.

Amazing. Go. Do it. Especially if it's Monday! - Edit
In town for work travel and was looking for vegan restaurants and found this one on HappyCow and VegNews highly rated. It did not disappoint. I knew I wanted to get the bang bang broccoli of the reviews I'd read but then when I got there they also said they have a Monday Maki deal where all the Maki rolls are $9 each (basically half price) OR you can do an all you can eat Maki for $38 (I don't remember exact price). I went alone and didn't think I could eat 4 rolls plus the bang bang broccoli so I didn't. But if I was with a group of people I'd totally say do it to try more varieties.
Read moreI got the Bang bang broccoli, Firecracker, Volcano and the Torched & Pressed. I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite but I will say the Torched and the Firefighter were really rich, especially after the broccoli and several were out had fried elements so the volcano was kind of a pleasant balance bc it felt fresher and more raw. I could not pick a favorite but I think the Torched and Pressed was the most novel, and it was so rich and almost like buttery plus with the truffle, just yum.
I did not plan to get all those rolls but there was some confusion and I was delivered an extra roll. It was WAY too much for one person but I definitely wasn't going to waste it.
Went back again on a Monday in April when visiting for work again. Got the torched and pressed again -- still probably my #1 I'd recommend to try bc it's so unique. Also got the red and green dragon rolls, both really good too. I slightly preferred the green dragon bc it tasted more "green" ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Also tried the carrot cake (April menu item) that someone else ordered and it was REALLY GOOD, especially loved the custard.

AMAZING brunch! - Edit
Happened to see this place nearby when I was in town for a couple days and I’m so glad I went! I don’t even usually like French toast but their French toast was amazing. Service is great, atmosphere is nice, but the food is some of the best vegan food I’ve ever had (and I have tried many vegan places in most east coast cities).
Read moreAn absolute must-visit if you’re in Chicago looking for vegan dining.

They should have a Michelin Star - Edit
I've eaten at vegan restaurants all over in multiple states, and this is some of the best food I've ever experienced! The food is made for sharing, and I highly recommend the Bang Bang Broccoli and 1000 Layer Potatoes. The sushi was ok (only tried 2 rolls this time and honestly Blue Sushi Sake Grill had them
Read morebeat on sushi but...) the Chili Ramen and the Pepper Steak Lettuce Wraps were phenomenal. I cannot wait for an occasion to go back! Nothing was bad, everything was a feast for all of the senses, and the service was top level. This is my new celebration spot!

Gourmet on all levels - Edit
After 2 nights of sub-par cocktails in Chicago establishments, I was hesitant to order one. The cocktails were spot on (particularly the espresso martini). We had truffle soba noodles & kimchi brisket fried rice, both of which were sublime. Raspberry cheesecake was also delectable. It was a steep meal given out choices, but worth every sip and bite.
Read morePros: Espresso Martini, Raspberry Cheesecake , Super friendly and helpful staff

Delightful - Edit
What you want from more of an upscale vegan place. Went in very hungry and tried a lot of things. Don’t sleep on the broccoli appetizer—that was my favorite dish.
Read moreThe ramen was my least favorite—would try a different main next time.
It is pricier, but the value for money feels right. We got a ton of dishes and drinks and our bill was under $200 for two people. We didn’t need to order as much as we did, but I only visit Chicago occasionally so it was a treat.
Pros: Great mocktails, Lots of choices

We originally planned to have dinner elsewhere, but elected to go somewhere closer to our hotel. We're so glad we diverted!
Read moreWe started with the kimchi bao and 1000 layer potatoes. We both agreed we could've each eaten several plates of the potatoes alone. Any meat 'n' potatoes dad from West Coast to East Coast, the Midwest and beyond would have said the same. Kimchi bao could have benefited from smaller cabbage bits, but the crispy mushrooms were so good.
I'd been dying to try some unagi eggplant and it did not disappoint. Love the smoky seared teriyaki flavors. The udon noodles also had a really rich smoky flavor that I loved.
The ahi watermelon nigiri was not as good as I'd hoped, but a fun creative option!
For dessert we shared the matcha cheesecake & chocolate brownie. Yum!
Pros: Friendly and attentive service!, Able to get us in without reservation., Ambiance & volume.
