I'm not holding the slow service against them, but was a little bummed because it was my little brother's birthday dinner. We tried a lot of items off their menu, starting our personal favorites: 5/5 - Point Reyes: king oyster mushroom, avocado, spicy shredded tofu, pickled pineapple, jalapeno, sweet soy, and a glaze. This was our standout favorite, super spicy and full of flavor in general! 5/5 - Sunset: spicy tofu, cucumber, avocado, seaweed pearls, ichimi, and they light a little fire! Great spice, definitely one of our favorites for overall flavor too. 4.5/5 - Pacifica: tempura fried eggplant, bell pepper. zucchini, carrots, onions, mushroom shoyu, garlic aloli, sweet soy, and lemon. Great crunch and a nice balance of flavors that are different than the spicer rolls above. 4/5 - The Wedge: spicy tofu tempura roll, scallions, ichimi, spicy aioli, mushroom shoyu, and sesame. Since this is their most popular roll, I think our expectations might have been a bit too high, but it's definitely not as spicy as the other spicy rolls. We did like that it has a more saucey bite to it though compared to the other rolls. 4/5 - Manila Dune: pumpkin tempura, spiced burdock root, shredded tofu, avocado crema, chili, topped with renkon chips. This definitely has one of the more unique flavors, I think it was because of the pumpkin,we enjoyed it and it was a great balance to the spicer rolls, I would pair it with one of the first two I mentioned. 3/5 - Sweet Potato Roll: tempura sweet potato and mushroom shoyu. Okay, but not that memorable, I would skip this one. 2/5 - Ewa: enoki tempura, avocado, matcha salt, smoked beet aioli, yuzu seaweed pearls, truffle salt, and a sliced lemon pice. Honestly the most disappointing flavor wise, was kinda bland compared to almost everything else, but the presentation looked very nice with the green and pink dot contrast on top. 4.5/5 - Miso Soup: kombu dashi, miso, cooked in a shiitake broth. Solid starter and delicious. 5/5 - Matcha Cheesecake: not too sweet, not too earth, a perfectly balanced Matcha cheesecake! 5/5 - Yuzu Cheesecake: a wonderful hint of citrus flavor, refreshing, light, and well balanced as well. Food: 4.5/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value: 4/5 Overall: 4.25/5

Had an early lunch on a Sunday here…read more The menu is vegetarian, however most dishes can be made vegan except for those like the egg noodles, or egg soup. We order a mix of items and shared. We enjoyed all of them. I was especially happy they had a non-dairy milk for Thai tea - and it was yummy! They served us a surprise dessert of a sweet mung bean soup like dish - that was a nice treat and unexpected.

This place definitely earns the ratings it has gotten…read more We ordered the Seoul Bowl, Po Boy Sandwich, Sunset Smoothie and a side of Grilled Organic Tempeh. Everything was fresh, good portions and most importantly actually flavorful. The Seoul Bowl was the healthier option and still had plenty of flavor. The Po Boy sandwich was my fav.. not exactly "health food" but not overly heavy either. Just the right balance. I had never tried pea protein shrimp before so I was a little skeptical but it was surprisingly delicious and worked really well in the sandwich. We both like our food spicy and they were great about customizing it for us. They added jalapeños to my sandwich and gave us spicy mayo on the side which pretty much made the meal perfect for our taste. The grilled organic tempeh was the only thing I personally found a little bland but my wife really liked it so probably more of a preference thing than an issue with the dish. The Sunset Smoothie was thick, tasted great and was a very good portion. Yes, prices are definitely on the higher side but unlike some other places in the area where you pay premium prices and leave wondering why, here the portions and especially the quality made it worth it. We would definitely come back.

Second fave was the drunk cauliflower. And then the tikka masala. The Tikka was still good but maybe not exactly what I was expecting - very veggie heavy plate. They have so many more items on their menu I'd love to try. Oh and the teas come in a really cute beaker setup, and they can make to your desired sweetness. It's a cute little spot, space is clean, and they have a bathroom for customers. There's a small parking lot in the shopping center where you can park for free too, yay!

I can't name or pinpoint which portions were the best, but I legit loved every bite we had. Soooo good. It's been a while since I've had a memorably good meal. Also, we shared some Tej and a cocktail. Everything was excellent. Ive had Tej from other restaurants and will say this one was especially delicious as it tasted more fermented. I'm sorry I can't be more specific w the spread but trust me... everything is YUMMY. Parking was easy to find in the parking lot and free!!

I walked into this retro diner (that felt more like a time warp), feeling all nostalgic from the tables to the chairs to the flooring. I ordered the kebab plate; it arrived with pita, hummus, roasted anaheim pepper, basmati rice, cucumber salad, and two kabobs. I could not wait to make it disappear. I really enjoyed the roasted grape tomatoes as they were bursting with flavor--everything was delightful. We only part to meet again. Next time I have my eyes on the falafel plate, tikka masala, and the curry fries. The cool thing is you do not have to be vegan to enjoy a meal here as they have something for everyone including burgers and fries. Mediterranean, Indian, and American fare are all offered here. Service was great. Plenty of seating inside and a small outdoor seating in the front. Street parking and bathrooms available. If you like what you see, go see what you like!

Bee and Wali were just as friendly and kind as their reputation. I admire their hard work and dedication so much, they've built something incredibly special.

I had the chicken schwarma pita with fries and every single bite was a party, a celebration of what it means to be human with taste buds! Super fresh and visually stunning, secret ingredient is love. I can't wait to come back!

The establishment is very clean and the service is friendly. The price is quite reasonable,…read moreespecially considering the overwhelming amount of food you get. As a party of 3, we all ordered the set menu with barley rice, and I could not even begin to tell you how shocked I was when the waitress brought out the food. It was dish after dish after dish, and by the end of it, the entire table was completely filled with food. All the dishes were well flavored and complemented each other nicely. I really enjoyed that you can mix everything together and create your own combination of flavors depending on what you're in the mood for. There's a nice variety of textures and flavors, so the meal never felt repetitive. To get some protein (and fat lol), we also ordered the bossam. The pork belly was cooked perfectly... tender, juicy, and flavorful. It paired really well with the crispy cabbage and pickled vegetables, which helped cut through the richness of the pork. Overall, this was a really satisfying meal. You get a ton of food for the price, the flavors are solid, and the experience was really unique. Definitely a great spot to come with a group so you can enjoy the variety of dishes together.

What an experience!! Hehhe…read more We got the Set. We also ordered the galbi short ribs. It was about $50 for the ribs alone!! At first glance, everything looked amazing. Down the line, I realized that the set was basically a bunch of ban chan. Some were interesting because other Korean restaurants don't serve it. We were advised to use it to create our own bibimbap. The perilla porridge stood out most. I never had perilla porridge. The taste was unique. It had chicken inside. The small cup of pumpkin soup was yummy. The soybean soup (fermented soy bean stew) had a very pungent smell. I wanted to enjoy it, but it wasn't for me. I couldn't stand the smell and not comfortable with the taste. Wish they gave an option to choose from different stews. The desserts were good. I also like their plum tea/juice. The galbi was well marinated. Not as tender as I was hoping for, but it was still delicious. With the price, I do feel like the set should include a dish of meats. Especially since the restaurant requires 2 people at $34 each for the set. If you go 3 people, prob more worth it. Overall, it was a fun experience. Service was great.

We were on our way home and wanted to grab something for lunch. Found Samata Vegan House by luck…read more It is a very cute space. They have all of the basics for a Thai menu. Curries, noodles, soups, etc. We went with fried tofu as the protein option. And got Spicy Eggplant as one dish and Spicy Mongolian as the other. Along with Spicy Dumplings for appetizers and Jasmine rice for the entrees. Oh, and a peanut butter, chocolate vegan cookie. There are a few tables, cute décor and really good music playing. It was quick and easy to order. The lady who took the order was very nice and helpful. But disappeared once the food was ordered. After a bit, she came back out with a heavy bag full of wonderful goodness. We headed home and opened the bag after having to smell it for the 5 minute drive home. The containers held a good amount of food. Enough for a few meals. The potstickers were very good. Had a good amount of flavor and heat. We should have eaten at the restaurant as the dumpling wrapper was starting to fall apart, but that was our fault. Both the Spicy Eggplant and Mongolian dishes were flavorful and well made. Nothing over cooked, they had rich flavor and we would both gladly order again. The rice was cooked properly and was stuffed into the container. And the cookie. I am so in awe of good, vegan cookies. They are so easy to make wrong. This was so good. A great way to wrap up a really good and filling meal.

I can't wait to come back to this place. It's absolutely adorable, the staff are so friendly, and…read morethe concept is brilliant. I went on a whole food vegan diet for 40 days as part of a cleanse and health journey. So my fiancé and I decided to come out here before a concert one night. He's been vegan for years and years, but I've never had that diet so it was hard for us to go out. We found this place and knew we had to go. We arrived about an hour before close, got sat immediately, and had a super sweet server (I wish I remembered her name). But I didn't realize that the menu items were all affirmations. As someone who has had a super tough year physically and emotionally, I've been really getting into meditation and manifesting and overall good vibes. So I thought going there and seeing that menu was absolutely a sign. It's fully vegan and whole food. And VAST. There was so much to choose from. I asked opinions on what to get. I think I ended up getting I Am Restored for my drink. Delish. Not sweet but very good. And then my partner and I got the I Am Glorious and the I Am Next Level to share. Everything was SO good. House made. Great flavor. And great presentation. My only wish was that is was more affordable (why does healthy yummy food have to be so expensive?!). We'd be going more often and we don't live close by. But it's worth it. Excited for our next trip back there! Side note - we also ordered delivery from them as well. The I Am Caring nachos (did notttt travel well.. get them in person). And the I Am Giving Margherita pizza. That was yummy. Recommend for vegans and non vegans alike!

To start, we shared the I am seen doublebatch cheese board. I wasn't the biggest fan of the texture and flavors of the cheese, but I did enjoy the crispy focaccia crostinis. I also got the I am focused iced americano which was refreshing and strong. It was a bit bitter for my liking though. I prefer nuttier tasting americanos. For my main I got the I am great lion's mane 'steak n' eggs' sandwich. I enjoyed the flavor of the mushroom, but it was thin relative to the mouthful of bread in the bites. I also got this with smash red potatoes. I wish they were crispier, but at least they weren't dry. The service was pretty slow. My group dined here for about 2 hours and a half. It took a while to get our food after ordering plus get the bill. However, our waters were consistently refilled. I came for lunch on a Saturday. The interior is clean and neat with private bathrooms. Also, there seems to be underground parking here. Overall, while the food was okay tasting and the service was slow, the atmosphere, portion sizes, and whole foods made up for them.
