Delicious! Limited options for vegans (cabbage, pea shoots, green beans, jasmine rice, veggie fried rice if they have it that day) and vegetarians (squash croquettes). Many of the vegetable dishes are flavored with shrimp paste or meat sauce or bacon. The cauliflower was delicious but prepared with bacon. We loved the rich flavor of the green beans! Loved the sichauan cabbage. We ordered a vegetable fried rice with mushrooms and egg -- would definitely order that again. My fiance loved the squab. Great date night.

Overall, a pretty good dinner. Good seasonal menu items. The prosciutto and persimmon salad was great; the pizza was a bit undercooked but still pretty good; blueberry lemon cake was ordinary but good. A bit on the loud side, but it was busy so that’s expected. Great service as always.
