Incredible experience! Food was delicious and beautiful. The ambiance was fantastic. Music wasn't too loud yet we didn't hear everyone else's conversations.
Erin was kind enough to save the table for my bf and I. Traffic was awful and we kept getting delayed but she held our table for us!
Maggie T. took such good care of us and made sure that all the dishes we picked were safe for us to eat. She even brought us a special menu for peanut and sesame allergies!
I've been bragging to my friends about this place non-stop. Cannot wait to go again!

Honestly super disappointed about the experience at this restaurant. I was really excited to connect with old friends at a place that we all could eat at. We order apps and some entrees and the apps were pretty decent, but the entrees all came out at separate times. Normally fine I get they come out when they can, but my meal didn’t come for 45 minutes. It may have been forgotten or just not included but after that long I asked the server, who never checked in with us during this time, to cancel the order. No sorry no what can we do just an “are you sure” and a shrug. We stayed for longer and he filled up my friend’s waters but not mine. I’ll never be back and truthfully I can’t recommend a place that dares to charge this much for such subpar service.

Very upscale, yet reasonably priced vegan restaurant in the heart of River North in Chicago Downtown.
Right from the very friendly hostess (Erin?) who turned out to be a fellow Candian, to the server, they both were kind to suggest recommendations after hearing that it was my first time dining there. Great service!
And food? Even better! Everything I had was flavorful, comforting, appetizing, and visually appealing. The drink was great too!
10/10 overall! If you are vegan or not, I'd highly recommend this establishment for a meal, appies, or just drinks/hangout at the bar. You won't be disappointed!

I came here for my birthday and everything was delicious. Our favorites included the bang bang broccoli, spicy tuna roll, 1000 layer crispy potatoes, chili crab noodles, pepper steak...so basically everything we ordered. Cocktails were lovely with a nice variety. One of the people in our party is vision impaired with a service dog and they accommodated us and made sure we were comfortable. The vibe was great. Our server Trey was the best - so kind and helpful. Can't wait to treat ourselves to another dinner here!

We went for Maki night. Oh my gosh! I love your maki so much! I brought a non-veg friend for my birthday a couple weeks ago and she was delightfully impressed by the quality and taste of the food here. The food is always so amazing. Hubby loved the beef and brocc last night! Chef's kiss! But that crab hand roll thingie...let's revamp that recipe, please. It's bringing all the other maki down! We had the absolute best servers! Hands down. And we made it in your very first polaroid. Make a thing of this and fill the wall behind the hostess stand with polaroids! I'm so sorry that you guys went through that whole bankruptcy moment but I'm really very very glad that you're still around. If you need to close some locations, close all but the Chicago one!! LOVE YOU TONS!!!
