Favorite plant based spot in DC. Very gluten friendly. My friends rave about the giant egg rolls. I’m a huge fan of the GF fried chicken. Could eat here daily.

I'm not from the DC area but stopped by with the family to get something to eat. The menus are poorly described. Having a family member with allergies, soy and gluten, their menus don't accurately describe what is in the dishes. Once we received the dishes, and found soy in our bowls even though they were NOT outlined in the menu...we brought it to the attention of the staff. We were told oh well, we already made the bowl and that's how we make it. He also explained that the cooking staff has no control over the menus and they just make the food as told. Choosing to not make a scene, we wanted to order something else but specifically asked if the purity bowl could be made without the edamame. The staff explained it doesn't matter because all the dishes were made in soy oil anyway (including the ones we already ate). Definitely a 0 star restaurant - poor presentation of the food, poor description of the menus, and horrible horrible customer service. In my 30 plus years as plant based, this was the worst restaurant experience to date. Buyer beware.
