Gift Tips

  • Order the General Tso’s Seitan or General Tso’s tofu for a hearty, familiar-flavored entrée that’s popular with both vegetarians and meat-eaters.
  • Try the Mala (spicy) cauliflower or the Dry Pot (spicy dry pot) tofu for bold Sichuan heat and numbing flavors — great if the gift recipient likes spice.
  • Share the Veg Heaven (eggplant, string beans, tofu) or the lotus/peanut soup when dining as a group to sample different textures and milder flavors.
  • Pick the lunch special for good value: it comes with an entree, rice, and soup (or two sides if you swap), ideal for weekday gift-card meals.
  • Enjoy the complimentary jasmine tea with your meal—it's unlimited when dining in and pairs especially well with spicy dishes.
