want to go back - Edit
i sat at the bar and ordered the vegan buns (literally why i came there) and those were fantastic. i bet the spicy ones are too. then i got the general tsos cauliflower bc it was recommended here. it’s cooked perfectly although there’s too much ginger in the dish. it also doesn’t taste like general tsos, just a sweet/sour vibe. idk if it was a one time thing or its like that. i took it home and finished it nonetheless.
Read moretheir menu looks awesome tho and id like to try something else and revisit my review. Eric at the bar was nice and i really appreciated that he immediately slammed a water in front of me because i rode my motorcycle and was dying in my gear when i walked in 😂 beautiful restaurant.
i also like when places don’t have a TON of vegan options, but are still slightly vast. makes it easier to choose

Good options - Edit
They have a good variety of clearly marked vegan options. I wish the ramen were a little more flavorful, chili paste with it costs extra but helps. The general Tso’s cauliflower is very good and the bao buns are as well. The atmosphere and service are great.

Decent Options - Edit
I enjoyed having more than one option and I've never seen vegan buns anywhere else, so we were really excited. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

Worst Ramen I’ve had - Edit
In the mood for Ramen, we try out Tavernakaya. We did takeout due to the pandemic. The vegan ramen was 100% deconstructed, each piece in a separate container - that’s fine. When mixing all the pieces together it was those most bland food I’ve ever had. The broth was not rich or flavorful. It was so mediocre it was hard to eat. Not sure what the hype is about it - people seem to like the cauliflower, maybe I’ll try that dish next time if I can even bring myself back to the establishment.

5-Star Dining - Edit
For an omni establishment, they excel at executing exquisite vegan dishes. There are lots of options for vegans. My favorites have been the vegan sushi, togarashi fries, veggie rice, and their general Tso cauliflower. All delicious!
