OMG my first review!\n\nI've been trying to cut meat out of my diet lately, and I keep driving by this place on the way to and from work. When I finally made it there, I was slightly surprised by what I found.\n\nThe ambiance is somewhat odd, and not in the \"odd but quirky and cool\" sense you get from other vegan restaurants. It's got kind of a strip mall chic feel to it, and the fifties music playing in the background made me feel like I got dropped in some bizarro \"Back to the Future\" scene, but the food was great and the couple that owns the place was really friendly!\n\nI went on a Tuesday evening and I was the only one there--the place was dead. It gave me pause at first, but the appetizer I ordered (Fried Imperial Rolls) was excellent, although the portions were small. The vegetarian dipping sauce (whatever that is) was especially good. For my meal I ordered Golden Soy Chicken--and although it looked like the same rubbery soy chicken substitute you might buy at the grocery store, it actually tasted like chicken! The scrumptious citrusy ginger flavor of the sauce really made the dish, though. The veggies seemed a bit more for garnish than for actual consumption, but they were ok, too.\n\nThe only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5? You pay too much for the size portions you get. I had an appetizer and an entree and I still left not quite full. I'm thinking I'll have to try this place for lunch sometime, since I work only right down the road.
