Made a stop at this place after a long hiatus, and I would say the place looks a lot different than…read morethe deli-style place that I recall. I was not totally surprised by the change, and I have driven by multiple times, so I have seen the change from the outside. The interior looks like beautifully decorated bar that serves food. Service was pretty good and fast, and prices are still very reasonable. I had a quinoa plate with Jamaican Jerk and Red Curry. The quinoa was well-cooked without being too soggy or undercooked. For the Jamaican Jerk, the potato was not too soft, and the veggie cutlets were flavorful. For the Red Curry, the sweet potato, fried tofu, and bell pepper were well also.

This was my first time ever here at this bar and honestly, it was great!!…read more As my friend and I were leaving dinner, we walk home and I heard jazz music and I stopped to listen!! Somebody outside said we could come in and I realized it was a bar, but my friend and I were meeting up with some other people down the street first. The spot we went to meet them it was dead, so we actually walked back three blocks to good karma!! We were lucky that jazz band was still playing and apparently they play every Sunday from 7 PM through 9:30 PM!! They had a number of different beers on top as well as some bottled beers. I really want to come back and eat lunch here!! Sadly, they only had two red wines and no white wines. The red cab I had was tasty and worked fine for the evening, but mainly the live jazz band was my favorite part!! Great environment, good sound system, and amazing live jazz!! Not to mention the one bartender, a young lady who was running the whole joint by herself!! She kept everything clean and organized, and she was very patient with each customer that came up when they wanted to sample different beers! I will definitely be back!!

However, the food was all outstanding. Flavorful, hot, and delicious. The servers are all super-friendly and attentive, even though you basically did take-out. They still check in with you constantly. There's a small private parking lot dedicated to Vegetarian House only. If that were full, I'd probably go elsewhere because street parking is limited (or permit parking only.)

However, I feel like the "beef" lacked a little in seasoning, but the rest of the food items make up for it! My favorite dish was the fried oysters because of how crispy and salty it was. Coconut Matcha(5/10): I felt like the drink lacked in sweetness but it was still refreshing nonetheless. Service(10/10): Friendly and accommodating! Overall, a pretty good place to go to!

I was so skeptical about this place! My coworker…read morerecommended this for a little get together. It's not my usual food, but I was open to try it and oh my goodness the food was amazing! The ambiance is very mellow, dim lights, and very cool paintings. If you're feeling adventurous I would definitely put this place on the bucket list! Most of their food is fermented which has a very fresh taste to it. My absolute favorite was the bread along with the spread. I told the workers there that It was my first time there and I didn't know what drink to get. They gave me a list of recommendations and I ended up getting a "sour" which tasted like a cider beer Thank you so much for the cool fun experience.

The county of Santa Clara Department of environmental Health DEH should be notified!! If you eat here you most likely will get food poisoning!! STAY AWAY! And Tell a friend!! Nice try on the Rebuttal! 1st impression! Is the one that is the lasting impression! Fox Tale or should be called Fox take! Is the only Brewery that does not offer a free 1 oz taste! Standard protocol for all other breweries that want to stay in business and be successful is offer a taste. I would offer you good luck, but you would not know what to do with it!!

The noodle soup is hearty, packed with lots of fake meat and tofu. The broth is outstanding and has to be enjoyed hot and in-person. It comes with all the works on the side which just take this soup from a 10 to an 11. With clean tables & friendly staff, this place is a must-go. I'll let the picture speak for itself.

I've tried many vegetarian places in the bay area and nowhere does it this well. There are two locations, but I feel that this one is better. We always order the salted fish fried rice, papaya salad, bbq pork roll, and crispy oyster mushroom. I've tried all the salads and rolls here, but I think those two are the best. You can't really go wrong with whatever you order. The only dish I wasn't the biggest fan of is the lemongrass tofu. They also sell frozen veggie meat there I believe. I've never purchased it myself, but they are in a freezer by the cashier. The brand they use is vegefarm I think. They also use five star so you can earn points!

We ended up ordering a slice of mango cake and yum. Definitely did not disappoint. Tasted like a good old fashioned Asian fruit cake in the best way possible. Light, soft sponge, airy sweet cream, hint of mango. The high praise for Asian dessert of "not too sweet". My only complaint is that I wish we lived closer!

This is a very successful vegan restaurant, and its strength is that it prioritizes well-cooked…read morevegetables over fake meat. Dishes that are vegetable-based or prioritize seitan and tofu are typically the best kind of vegan food, over fake meat that never tastes like what its imitating. I wouldn't bring someone without dietary restrictions here, but I think it's a perfect place to bring a vegan/vegetarian/meat-restricted person. They have a lot of good options here. The soups are relatively flavourful for vegan broths. The curry fried rice is delicious as well. I also appreciate the variety of drink options made with vegan milk substitutes. The service is pretty fast considering how busy it gets. Some of the workers can't speak much English, but it hasn't been an issue. Southeast Asian food can be very meat-heavy, so places like this are great. If your vegetarian friend is ever craving Thai or Vietnamese food, bring them here!

From the pictures this looked very colorful and appetizing. However I was not a huge fan of it once we got it. The broccoli was just barely cooked and there was a lot of onion. The sauce was too sweet and not enough spice or sourness. WOULD I GO BACK? Probably not as the food or ambience was not spectacular.

It has gotten way better since my last review!…read more Fries are crispy and well made. The wait time for food/drinks is usually no more that 15 minutes if you order in and it's usually not too busy inside the establishment (I've been here a least a handful of times since my last review). The environment is clean, a little small but like I said, it's usually not too busy and there are seats as you wait for your order (assuming you are ordering in). Parking can be a nightmare but there's usually a spot somewhere within the radius of the building. I've lucked out most times and have been able to park right in front of the business.
