My boyfriend took me here while we were in York for a few days, I'm vegan, he's not but there was no disappointment or feeling like he was missing out. The selection of food was wonderful, and the service from all members of staff was top notch. The food arrived quickly and was delicious. Portion sizes were generous and value for money. We had the gyoza and lamb skewers to start with some prawn crackers on the side. For mains we each had the Szechuan chicken and some noodles between us. There was no room for dessert, but the cheesecake others ordered looks amazing. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough, and not just for veggies and vegans. I love that this unique, independent restaurant appears to be thriving in this beautiful city.
