The vegan burger was flavorful and the fries well seasoned. The mushroom hot cocoa drink was nice and earthy, though it had clearly spilled over because the mug was sticky when the server brought it over. The service was on the slower side, but I was not in a rush.

The restaurant was hosting a DJ the day I went and the music was unpleasantly loud. My friend who lives here and frequents this establishment more says it’s typically nice and quiet.

So good!
I ordered the Korean BBQ wings and the garlic broccoli. I wasn't sure whether I'd like the cashew cheese sauce with the broccoli, so I got it on the side. It was perfect.
The wings came with a gochugaru sauce that was quite tasty (just pour it down my throat, please!).
Loved all of it, and it turned out to be the perfect amount of food

I ordered delivery for dinner on a Friday night. I got the Hollyhood special pizza, which was delicious. The flavor was amazing, the crust texture was perfect — highly recommended. I also got the coconut shrimp. It was interesting to try vegan shrimp, but I found them bland on their own. Luckily they did come with sauces, and I really liked the spicy aioli.

Stumbled upon this place while visiting family.  We were excited to try several dishes after browsing the menu online.

Cool atmosphere with many entertainment legends on the wall, lots of graffiti and great tunes playing at all times.

Our selections:
Garlic Broccoli - hear me out, this isn’t the stuff you grew up hating!  Perfectly cooked with lots of flavor in each bite.

Pickle Fries- love the concept of fries rather than chips or spears,  I would recommend cutting these just slightly thinner so they crisp up well but a dish our son devoured.

Korean BBQ Wings - Lots of great flavor, decent portion size and the seitan was not your typical dense texture.  I would love to see these cut smaller so they remain a little crispy (sensing the theme here?)

Bangin BLT - tempeh bacon and their housemade bread may as well be texas toast!  My wife loved this one and I thought it was good, just a little too much “butter” on the toast.

Wavy Gravy Steak Frites - gravy was nice and peppery, texture of the “steak” was crazy and seasoned well.  I would order the gravy on the side otherwise the frites cant be salvaged unless you eat em fast 😀

Overall cool concept.  As usual, vegan items tend to be on the pricey side, but this place had a vibe.

Delicious spot for some unique food! I got the hollyhood pizza which had korean bbq seitan and gochujang ranch. It was incredible! The best vegan pizza I've ever had. For dessert I tried this citrus olive oil cake which was the perfect thing to end the meal. It was just right with the amount of sweetness. Definitely check out this spot for a great meal!
