The place is very cute, nice location, staff were friendly and really great. Food was delicious (though mine needed a little salt). Overall first experience was quite good. We’ll be going again to try more dishes for sure.

The Mothership is an experience. From the entrance, decor, service and food. I truly enjoyed the donuts. I also had the noodles and tofu. If you’re alone you’ll be seated at the bar. I believe it was the best seat in the restaurant. If I’m ever in the area again, I’d try their sister restaurant too.

Funny, but I couldn’t find the front door.🤣 The restaurant layout was interesting. The decor was nice and bright. We sat at the bar but I would choose a table next time. We were impressed with almost all of the dishes we ordered~ especially the vegan gyoza and bao. Wow! I’m craving both of them. Looking forward to my next visit to Yasai!
