    I've been here a couple times with my girlfriend, and we always walk away full and happy.

    The food is pretty good. If you're looking for some good vegetarian/vegan food this is the place to get it. Or if you're just looking for some tasty, healthy food. Its pretty affordable as well.

    The thing I like the most about this place is the tea. They have a full menu page of different types of teas to choose from. The fruit tea is a great one to start with. It takes a little while for it to get to the table, but that has to do with the amount of effort they put into brewing it. All the teas taste amazing, and they make you feel really good afterward.

    The only thing I would criticize is that their menu can be a little sparse when compared with other larger restaurants. But they are a small place after all.

    Overall, the tea alone earns them 5 stars from me.

    I've been going to this place since its opening. It's a nice place to go for lunch or teatime, as they close at 8pm weekdays and 9pm weekends now.

    It is a vegetarian Chinese restaurant, which you don't really see in KW. It's definitely unique in that it is built into a house, and as the other reviewer stated, the atmosphere is very relaxing. The decor is Western-like, but fairly 50's-60's.

    The service is pretty good here, not your typical Chinese restaurant.Upstairs, they have some meditation rooms, as they are affiliated Fo Guang Shan Buddhist temple.

    The food is great. If you're a fan of soy products, you will like most of their dishes and appetizers. Their hot teas are of course, something you have to try out there. Almond tea is a great one, if you're into cappucino and milk tea. they focus a lot on health, so you will definitely come out of there feeling refreshed.

    Placed in a small little house on Regina Streeth North, this little restaurant is in conjunction with a Buddhist temple. The atmosphere is very serene and relaxing. Food is fairly cheap as well for the amount that you get. I would definitely recommend the Fruit Tea. It's to die for!
