I definitely like this place better than the Wild Ginger in Brooklyn, although I think they have the same menu. I have had the soy nugget and soy cheese wontons, both of which were delicious, although the soy cheese wontons were actually spinach wontons with a few chunks of frozen tofu (the cheese?) inside.
I was less impressed with the appetizers, of which I've had the yaki udon (stir fried udon noodles), which had very few vegetables, and the vegan "seafood" platter. The veggie fish and shrimp had a sort of sea taste to them, but an accompanying, unidentafiable flavor that I didn't care for.

I really liked this place. Our seitan skewer appetizer was a perfect blend of sweet and spicy; the basil soy protein was spicy, fresh and crispy, with an array of colorful vegetables; the shredded tofu was light and well-seasoned, though could have used a bit more spice. Our desserts were both spectacular, from the chocolate vegan cheesecake to the peanut butter bomb, which was rich and decadent. Service was friendly, if a bit slow. Prices are reasonable and the portions are just right.
