Review by Melissa Bastian on January 30, 2009:
- Three words: Meat. In. Everything.
I went here a couple of times when I was staying with a friend in Sunnyside. It's a cute place, and the servers are nice and tried to accommodate my "vegetarianism" (I didn't try to explain the whole veganism thing - way too complicated). Unfortunately, between a lack of understanding of what "vegetarianism" is and a serious language barrier, I ended up being served agadashi tofu covered in bonito flakes (fish OK, right?), and some kind of vegetable dish which I ate some of and only later found out was cooked in CHICKEN BROTH! Don't even get me started on how nauseous that made me.
I don't think there was any ill intent on the part of the server; in fact I think she was trying really hard to find food for me. They've just tried so hard to adjust to an American palette that there's next to nothing for vegans, and I do not suggest a visit.
