Ask for an itemized receipt. They are 100% capable of printing one, but wont give it to you unless you ask. This is so the shop owners can sneak food items into your receipt. For example, when eaten, Chinese donuts split into two sticks, but they are sold as a SINGLE item. When you catch the manager double charging you for a Chinese donut, this is the lie hell try to use to get out of it.They also sell expired or day-old food items. Rice rolls here are $5.99 each. They will saran wrap 3 rice rolls from yesterday and sell the lot for $10.00. Touch the plastic-wrapped foods and if theyre cold, you know why. See attached screenshot for where they place expired items.Manager has a shaved head and his wife works here as well. Manager also works at Marina Foods, so now you know where he gets his bad business practices.-1 stars for dishonest business practice-1 stars for reselling packaged food as their own-1 stars for trying to sell expired food.2 stars remaining because the food is good when its fresh. If only it wasnt so overpriced and the manager werent dishonest.

Dont be intimidated! Head on in and ask for the 3 item combo! Spicy or regular noodles or rice along with some of the best variety of vegetarian food Ive ever had the pleasure of eating. Pick what looks best to you but its all good; my favorite is probably the tofu skin and you cant beat those Singapore style noodles they offer.Take a browse through the fridge and maybe pick up a bag of fried tofu to take home; dump them in a ramen or soup and theyre ready in minutes and super tasty!

Always wanted to try this place and was heavily recommended from friends.Coming to the place itself, it is very small and no dining inside.Plenty of parking spots.Coming to food choices, oo man, there are plenty of options to fill in various appetitesWe could even take some dim sums home as well and they looked yummy.You can take bento box as well and they looked good but couldnt try this timeWe tried a few :Gua bao was awesomeSticky rice roll with egg outside was Winner for me and hmm filling inside ( i think this is called fan tuan) was truly awesomeSeaweed sticky rice roll was the runner up for me with so much flavor insideSpicy Tofu - This is heavenly with little bit of spiceness and flavor was awesome.We also took a bun and this was my least favorite among the allWe tool taro bun and was okGrilled scallion was decent

I went here with high expectations of finding delicious food.As I walked in with my husband, the workers/owners didn’t even acknowledge us.Then we approached the register to buy but, they showed no interest in serving us as I was ignored a few times till they finally told me no options were available (when there were clearly options available).After this, someone else walked in and they invited to help them without hesitation.To be honest we felt completely discriminated against and all I can conclude to is that the workers/owners are racist.In the end we didn’t even buy anything because they didn’t want to serve us.

Horrific! Rode bikes with kids for 3 miles, seeking a delicious experience. Staff was pushy, forced small kids to fill out containers without my permission or approval of price. Food was COLD, OLD, AND OVER PRICED! YOU ARE FORCED TO GET A MINIMUM COMBO OF $16 WORTH OF COLD, OLD, TASTELESS FOOD! They dont even have forks!!! I think they charge you extra to warm up your food!I usually love to encourage vegetarian friendly business, but this one is the BAD APPLE! Hope it disappears soon to make room for a more tasty vegetarian business.So if you are thinkinf of a delicious vegetarian meal, go elsewhere or just get some noodles and vegetarian curry nuggets from Target or Whole Foods, and you will be much happier! And your tummy will feel better too!

Excellent shop for both dine in/takeaway as well as for a well stocked pantry! They have a wide variety of prepared foods to stock ur kitchen. As well as cafeteria style hot food for lunch. The food is kept at room temp, so not cold but not piping hot. Thats how I like it, but I know some folks want hot. They probably have a toaster oven for that idk. Dine in is one table by the window. They have chopsticks and spoons. They take cash and card.Soooo many awesome side dishes packed up for snacks including desserts, buns, rice cakes etc etc. I always grab some fresh soy milk! They even have black soybean milk for the connoisseurs.I swing by here anytime Im even remotely close!

It’s a great place with delicious traditional tofu, soy based food. Also a lot of bakery options. We wish it could be closer to our home so we can visit here frequently. Highly recommend the pancakes.

It’s a small gem inside a strip mall. The tasty vegetarian food makes Meatless Monday and any meatless day seems like a cinch. Their sweet offerings include some Shanghai pastries and soft cakes that are as good as I found in Hong Kong.
