Awesome. Thank you Apple for the super service. Great time here. Amazing vibe, love the low light. Clean and spacious. Meals were great. I love to see an all vegan restaurant. Loved the large selection, especially of desserts. Prices are good.
What a beautiful restaurant! The food was incredible, full of flavour and very fresh and presented expertly! We enjoyed a selection of starters including edamame and seaweed with a choice of incredible mains to choose from! The restaurant itself was very clean and very elegant and food was well priced! The staff were lovely and very welcoming, I took my mum here whilst on holiday in York. By far this was the best restaurant i visited during my stay and has now become my favourite restaurant and I will be travelling from my home town to enjoy the experience and food again! Credit to you all! Well worth a visit if you've never been!
I come here once every year for a celebratory meal with my friend, and it is one of the highlights of my year. The food is incredible and the staff are attentive. I dream of their salt & pepper crispy belly pork - it is NOT to be missed! Among the best vegan chinese places in the UK.
This restaurant is like a restaurant should be. Excellent service, lovely atmosphere, and great food. We will definitely return. Unfortunately, I forgot to photograph anything but the soup. The mushroom soup was excellent. I also ate stir fried mushrooms and veggies with tofu, and it was great. Those items are not listed below as items to recommend. My spouse enjoyed the sweet and sour prawns. We were warned that it is quite sweet, and I thought to sweet for my taste, but my spouse loved it. Updated: we ate here a second time, and enjoyed it, trying different dishes, including the lamb skewers, the Mongolian beef.
Absolutely amazing food. I haven't been able to have a lot of Chinese style food in years, so a plant based option immediately sounded interesting. It did not disappoint, highly recommend and if we're in the area again we will be returning.
