Must visit

Great service. Knowledgeable on offerings and in English too. Really original food with generous portions. The shop owner Lennon was very nice and talked about each of the dishes for tasting. Amazing service loved being there. He even threw in a free apple gyoza for our honeymoon. Can’t recommend this place enough. A must go if you’re vegan in Madrid

Pros: Service , Food, Fusion cuisine

Bad day?

I went there because of the many positive reviews on HappyCow, but my visit was really underwhelming. Two dishes on the menu had the exact same description, and the waiter couldn’t explain the difference. Prices were quite high, so I chose the cheapest option, which was still nearly €15.

What I received was essentially instant ramen with freeze-dried carrot pieces (apparently the “veggies” from the description), mixed with some vegan cream. It seemed to come straight out of an air fryer—dry, crispy edges included. The flavour was mostly instant broth and not much else. The waiter was friendly, but the food was extremely disappointing. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but I wouldn’t return based on this experience.

Great food, great service

We decided to try this as it was the closest place to the Movistar area that was fully vegan and we were not disappointed. The host was very engaging and each dish was fantastic. As an added bonus, the dishes can be made spicier if want! Another huge bonus was that almost everything was made by them and therefore there was a bare minimum of processed food.

Pros: The spice, The variety, Lack of processed options

Reluctant 5 stars...

The food was quite good but the menu read better than the food tasted, they have unique fusion food that was mostly great but a few misses

Delicious Vegan Fusion & Must-Try Bao Buns

A fantastic spot for creative vegan fusion food – fun, flavourful dishes that are a real treat. The bao buns are a must-try (and best enjoyed with your hands!), full of bold taste and fresh ingredients. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the owner is both friendly and professional, making the whole experience even better. Definitely worth a visit!

Pros: Great fusion food, Excellent service

Aceptable, no repetiría la experiencia

El restaurante es acogedor, el personal muy amable y la comida está bien.
Me gustó el "Pato Pekín". También pedimos el arroz frito coreano, el cual encontramos un poco insípido.
Lo más disgustante fue la relación "tamaño de las raciones - precio", muy poca cantidad y pequeñas porciones para el precio que tiene.
En las fotos parece todo de mayor tamaño pero en la realidad los 4 trozos de pato son pequeños y con el arroz coreano decimos lo mismo.
Son correctos como entrantes, pero realmente si quieres comer bien, tendrías que pedir al menos dos platos más.
Nos ofrecieron los Baos como plato principal, era plato "contundente", según la mujer que nos atendió, sin embargo, repito lo mismo que con los anteriores platos.
Resumidamente, aquí vas a probar cosas algo diferentes, a darte un capricho, pero no a comer hasta saciarte (al menos que lleves una gran cartera).
Nos gustó pero no lo suficiente como para repetir

Pros: Buena atención al cliente

Cons: Relación "cantidad - precio", Arroz frito coreano insípido

Amazing Food! Amazing People!

Bien hecho! Husband suggested that taking the Metro and walking for total of 30 minutes to get there might be too far. Apparently, it was not, some discussion of coming back tomorrow. Enough said. Every bite was delicious. Delightful staff. Prompt service. Would and will return. Gracias!

The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful.

Delicious fusion cuisine and romantic vibe

We loved this restaurant. They have a very nice menu with Asian/Indian fusion food. Although it is a bit expensive, it’s worth it because of the quality and the staff was very nice and welcoming. Definitely will try the other location in Chamberí.

Pros: Amazing food , Romantic vibe , Very nice staff

Cons: A bit pricey

Sabores explosivos

Probamos el menú superior y estuvo muy bien de calidad y cantidad. Al último plato ya se llega bastante lleno. Cada plato es una sorpresa de contraste de sabores. Los trampantojos de pato son increíbles. Muy recomendable!

Pros: comida, servicio muy atento, se puede entrar con perro

Très bon

Nous avons pris les bao et les sushis. Accompagnés de 2 kombuchas. Tout était très bon et nous avons payé 40 euros, ce qui est abordable pour Madrid. On recommande

Great gyozas

Gyozas were great and the service was exceptional. Wish I went with the Shlen Bao instead of the Cerdo, but it was still good. Don’t be like me and burn your tongue on your first bite of gyoza!

Best vegan restaurant!

Wow, i am flabbergasted with this restaurant!
The service is exquisite, the owners take their time to get to know the customer and explain every dish. It shows they are passionate for the cause and their dishes.
Each plate is flooded with flavour (which lack in other vegan restaurants in my opinion) and are very original.
My favourites are the bombas de sabor, baos, pato pekinés (my non vegan friends say they can't believe it's not duck!), gyozas, sushi (holy moly) and the dosas which are extremely unique and one of a kind!
Can't wait to return to try the entire menu!

Pros: Flavourful dishes, Customer service , Atmosphere and vibes
