Chay Concept: Vietnamese Cuisine Reimagined…read more Chay Concept is a revelation. This is high-end Vietnamese, but not what you're expecting. If you're craving pho, look elsewhere--this is high-concept cuisine with flawless execution. The kind of place that challenges what you think Vietnamese food can be. Here's what makes it remarkable: it's entirely vegetarian with vegan options available. And somehow, that constraint becomes the canvas for extraordinary creativity. Both the food and drinks showcase genuine artistry--calling it a masterpiece isn't hyperbole. Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, or neither, this place deserves your attention. The inventiveness and technical skill on display transcend dietary categories. They've earned a customer for life. I'd suggest everyone experience what they're doing here at least once. You won't forget it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I was traveling in a group of 6 to Renton, WA, and we stopped by Blossom Vegetarian as our first…read morestop in the Evergreen State. One member of the group is vegetarian, hence a reason why we ended up going to a vegetarian restaurant for our first meal during our trip. Blossom Vegetarian is located on the southwest corner of 3rd and Burnett. We came in three cars, and the lot immediately in front of the restaurant can only hold about a dozen cars. The adjacent lot has more spots, but all three of us were able to find spots easily when we arrived. That's likely because we had arrived a few minutes prior to opening, so the door was locked when I tried to open it. Right at 11 AM, an employee came out with a signicade to place in front of the front door. Shortly afterwards, we entered and sat at a table for 8, which I found kind of odd because they had tables of 4 and 8, but not 6. Our table had a sign advertising a limited time special, which was Hanoi Beef Fried Rice at the time*. However, we were interested in the lunch specials, which were available weekdays from 11 AM to 2 PM. Knowing that our schedule wouldn't have allowed for a lunch special any other time during our trip, we went for lunch specials, which mainly consists of rice combos. Rice combos at Blossom Cafe come with rice, either jasmine or brown, the latter of which would incur a $1 upcharge. The combo also includes an option for a juice or coffee, and if you choose either, you get $1 off. With plenty of rice combos to choose from, two of them chose the same lunch combo while the rest of us went with different lunch combos, but shared family-style with one another. I chose the Blossom Rice Combo, which consists of shredded "pork", tofu pie, "beef" skewer, and vegetables alongside a lime vinaigrette dressing. I'm not too certain of the other combos, but I do know that the Cashew Chicken was another combo, and that's because one of my groupmates heard it was their most popular dish. Since I prefer brown rice over white (jasmine) rice, I opted for the $1 upcharge for the brown rice. Between the coffee and the juice, I went with a coffee since I was needing some after a long morning of traveling. They have four choices of Vietnamese Coffee: Cheese Cafe, Cafe Latte, Dalgona Cafe, and Cafe Sua. I went with the Cafe Latte, which consists of both condensed and whole milk. The coffee drinks can come either hot or iced. For whatever reason, everybody else ordered the iced drinks, but I went with hot knowing I'd have to brave the pretty chilly weather outside. It took about 13 minutes for the kitchen to prepare our orders, and then we feasted! The coffee was ready about a minute before the main dishes arrived. Everything tasted good, but I wouldn't say great, though that's probably because I'm not vegetarian. However, rest assured that all their meats aren't real meat, and this is indicated by the use of quotation marks encompassing the meat names. You can definitely tell these meats are truly vegetarian, though it took a few bites for me to discern the vegetarianism of the "beef" skewer. The brown rice tasted kind of odd. I don't quite know how to describe it, but it was way different than the brown rice I'm used to e.g. Flame Broiler. The rice tasted pretty meh by itself, but exhibited a much more elevated flavor profile after adding the lime vinaigrette, which I'm thinking was actually a fish sauce. But that Cafe Latte was smoooooooooooth. Just what I needed after not getting enough z's the previous evening. Since I ordered mine hot, my coffee came in a mug while the others who ordered iced coffee got theirs in a wine glass. These coffees supplemented the glasses of water we were given when we placed our orders. Service, unfortunately, was quite slow, so exercise patience! We were the first customers to eat there, and there were a few others who came in after we did. We stayed there for over an hour even though I think we could have gotten in and out in much less time. They didn't really check on us even though there were very few other customers inside as well; I guess we were supposed to proactively go up to the counter to let them know when we were ready to order as well as pay. 2026 calendars were available for purchase at a cost of $20, cash only. I don't know how many people would constitute a "large" party, but we were considered one, which resulted in an 18% gratuity fee that was already added to our individual bills. One of our groupmates, who was fluent in Vietnamese, needed to let the server know prior to paying. So overall, Blossom Vegetarian is a decent spot for vegetarians; I just wouldn't recommend for a quick lunch break since service is nowhere near as quick. * My visit was back in November. I waited until January to post this review as I took a brief hiatus from posting reviews upon traveling to the Pacific Northwest.

My sister and I dropped by spontaneously for weekend brunch (à Saturday korning around 9:30). There was a bit of a cluster of people waiting for tables, but they were larger groups and we were seated after about 10 minutes. We ordered cocktails while pursuing the menu. My sister enjoys their mimosas and I was curious about the "My name is Earl... Grey". Good choice - dangerously so. Smooth, flavorful, well balanced. Only a light perfume of Earl Grey. We shared our entrees: the harissa carrot hummus tartine and the roasted potato and scallion waffle. (Side note: we indicated our intention to the server, who thoughtfully brought extra plates so we could do that). The tartine was delicious. Just the right amount of spread on a thick slice of sourdough. It wasn't spicy at all; the sweetness of the carrots tempered the heat. A light sprinkle of romanesco and little cubes of feta finished it off. The waffle was a surprise. Crispy, savory, a whisper of sweetness, topped with a dollop of scallion butter. Unique and very flavorful. The homemade biscuit was large and easily shareable. The cappuccinos had a good, rich aroma. A double shot is the standard serving and had sufficient flavor and kick. There were so many interesting things in the menu, making it difficult to decide. I'll just have to come back.

From that first dish, we knew that this fresh, foraged menu was going to be something different. The rest of the night was one knockout showcase of seasonal farm to table masterpieces to the next. The entire presentation was delivered by attentive wait staff putting on what felt more like a well-rehearsed play with each act starting with a wickedly creative, hand-crafted drink pairing (non alcoholic for us, but you can get wine, cider, or a cocktail) before each course. The whole vibe isn't pretentious or bourgeois; it's grateful. Everyone there including the chefs know there isn't anything like this in the city, much less the state. It was one of the more pleasant restaurant guest audiences I've ever been around too. It felt like all the nice people in the city decided to meet, so this 5-star review is for our fellow diners too. The only thing missing was a moment for the chefs to take a bow at the end, but instead they sneaked out the door, off to wherever superfoodie heroes go after a night of saving palates. #salute.

My new favorite place for Chinese food when I'm in the area! I highly recommend to all hungry…read morepeople, from vegans to carnivores. Also, they are super knowledgeable and accommodating to those of us with food allergies, which is such a huge plus. The restaurant is clean and cozy, with lively conversation and classical music in the background. What really stood out for me was that the people there are so kind and attentive, serving homemade comfort food made with love and intention. It felt like visiting family more than going to a restaurant. I'm far from my family at the moment and pretty sad about it, so it meant so much that they would take the time to make my solo dining experience special. I had a nice pot of jasmine tea that the server gave me the rest of in a go cup with a little extra hot water to make sure it was a nice temperature for my travels. They brought me a savory bowl of hot and sour soup that took the chill off the cold, rainy November night. They were making veg "crab" and cream cheese wontons, and made me a sample plate with dipping sauce that was wonderful. That's something I haven't had since becoming vegetarian so it was a treat. For my main dish, I ordered the General Tao veg "chicken" and a side of rice. The meat was juicy and of pleasant texture inside with a crispy, golden coating, paired with tender broccoli crowns and a delicious spicy chili sauce. The chili sauce they serve on the side is house made as well and is super tasty. I will return to eat on my lunch break and to have dinner with my family next time we're all in the area most definitely!

The kitchen staff brought out the food, but pointed to that one young lady to bring silverware, a cup of ice, or even answer a question about the menu. I had to raise my hand to get her attention if I wanted anything. She did ask how my food was after it was tabled. The dining room has booths and tables for solo eaters, as well as groups and families. I'm glad to have tried this restaurant but with so many other Indian restaurants to try , not sure when I'll be back.

That kind of hospitality is rare and it stood out. The thali is unlimited, and the staff comes around frequently to refill and ask what you want more of. The flavors overall are bold and satisfying. Standouts for me: * Khichdi (favorite) * Gujarati kadhi with khichdi: pure comfort food * Aamras: easily a highlight * Dal baati: exactly what I wanted * Paneer curry: solid and tasty The mix veg was average, but everything else more than made up for it. Service was helpful throughout and parking was easy with plenty of spots. If you love thali, this place is a must.

Don't waste your time here…read more The "hot" bar was lukewarm at best. The fish and fried rice were both extremely dry from sitting around all day and tasted really mediocre. Let's be honest, you're here for the dumplings. There's only 4 flavors, but they're all pretty standard, and the only option to prepare is to have them steamed. At almost $20 you can eat just as much dumplings and have leftovers from buying frozen dumplings from T&T down the street. I seriously think T&T has better tasting dumplings, and all you need to do is boil them yourself, pretty fool proof. You're not even getting much service by dining in here. They serve everything on paper plates and expect you to hold your dipping sauce on a paper plate and not spill it everywhere.
