Tips & Advice

  • Arrive near the 5:30 p.m. start so you can find your place at the communal table before the scheduled dinner begins.
  • Expect to share the table and dishes family-style; this format works best if your group is comfortable eating communally.
  • Check ingredient details for allergies before attending, since the listing describes a vegan Chinese menu but does not provide dish-by-dish ingredients.
  • Save the 1131 24th Street address before setting out, as the listing gives a street address but no arrival or parking guidance.
