I'm a chef , and I'm vegan . I expect good quality , great tasting dishes when i decide to eat out . Well this week i bet a 100$ on this place , and honestly people must not know how to cook , or don't have quality taste bu I was excited. Hungry. Hopeful. But what I got? Straight-up disappointment in takeout form.
Let's start with the fried chicken--bland, weird texture, no crunch, no flavor. Just a sad, flavorless sponge. I was hyped for it too total letdown.
Then came the quesadilla. Looking at the menu, it looked and sounded like the star of the show. I was like, "Okay, this one might slap." But nope. That was a bold-faced LIE. It tasted exactly like soggy cardboard. And I mean exactly. Like that weird, wet cardboard smell? That's the flavor. I gagged and spit it out immediately.
Mac and cheese? Don't even get me started. It was hyped up as some updated "to die for" recipe. Well, I nearly died from the taste--liquid smoke overload and cheap vegan cheese that clings to your tongue like regret.
Now, the tacos and the shrimp? Okay fine, they were decent. The "shrimp" had a good firm bite and tasted fresh. That's literally the only reason this place isn't getting zero stars (if that were possible).
As for the vegan chicken--who approved this? I've had incredible vegan chicken before, the kind with crevices, seasoning, a crispy edge, and sauce for days. This one? A bland square. No flavor, no texture, no soul.
I also tried the cookie and ice cream. Meh. Super mid. Wouldn't get it again.
I'm a foodie, and when I see a vegan spot offering a variety, I get excited--I want to try a little of everything and see what's worth coming back for. But after this? Never again. I'll check back in maybe if they pull off a miracle.
If you care even a little bit about flavor, quality, or not wasting your money--run. RUN.
And those five-star reviews? Yeah... they were either paid for or written by people who lost their taste buds in 2020.
