I stumbled upon this total gem! It was easy to select choices from the menu that fit my diet. Like, they get it. I wasn't really looking for a meal when I walked in, but I sure left with one! Lol The bar attendant was super helpful in …
So good. Fresh, delicious, healthy, filling, authentic, budget friendly food. I write like one review every 3-4 years. The pulled pork Jook bowl is so good, I just had to say something. On top of the perfect food, the gentleman behind the counter was super friendly and finished my order before I even had time to put money in the meter. I love this place.
This place was really nice, and the food, specifically the jook is absolutely outstanding.
If you love tasty food that’s healthy too, check this place out. The various bowls have a ton of variety in them will sorts of little sides on top of rice with a tahini sauce. The chicken bowl is my favorite, but there’s plenty of options for vegetarians as well. Excellent! 😋😋😋😋😋 …
Staff is exceptionally friendly. Plus their menu is extremely unique! Had their Golden Latte (with Tumeric!) and for the first time ever had a Jasmine Tea handmade cold Kambucha... delicious!
So glad that this place is here! Ate here twice in one day. Love their breakfast - lots of greens, protein, and good sauces. Good grain bowls. Had a delicious tumeric latte. Looking forward to going here again.
Ordered the grain bowl. Nice presentation and really tasty. Sometimes bowls like this can be a little boring, but this one wasn’t. Good prices for Bay Area.

The food here is excellent and healthy. Its a great place to meet up with others as you can hear each other talk and the vibe is good. I’m plant-based and really like the options available. Casual dining.
Portion a bit small, but the flavors of the kimchi and all the marinated veggies abundantly made up for it.
