This bread is heavenly! This housebaked #turmeric and #coconut pull-apart milk bread is SO GOOD 🤤 It's FLUFFY and soft and a little sweet like brioche. It's so satisfying to pull apart and the taste is incredible. Served with caramelized mushroom rendang pâté, house coriander root whole grain mustard, and Oya Organics cucumber, two cave-aged cultured rinded cashew cheeses from Bandit with house fig-habanero chili jam, and Humboldt salt Pro tip: save some of this bread to enjoy with the rest of your meal! I loved it with the KOJIO E PEPE PASTA and also the Laksa! The sweet milk bread really balances out the spicy dishes. #veganisnotscary #veganin2023 #bread #coconutlover

Snacking Peanuts like I've never had before! I've had flavored nuts but not ones that were as interesting, flavorful, and fresh! Aromatic skin-on fried peanuts with tientsin chilies, alliums, makrut lime leaves, herbs. There were SO many flavors going on-- salty, tangy, a little sweet, a little spicy. The crispy onion skin had a lot of flavor and added a little extra crunch. I think these would be perfect to bring to a Holiday Party to share or leave out for grazing. #veganisnotscary #veganin2023 #peanuts #lime

They make their tagliatelle FRESH in house daily using heirloom Iraqi durum wheat flour from Full Belly farms. This dish also has creamy Quang Tri & Tellicherry pepercorn and cultured Hodo soy milk sauce with Kay Lee farm yu choy, ginger-scallion oil, and smoked shiitake chili crisp. BOLD and flavorful! Spicy and floral notes from 2 kinds of peppercorn. Amazing flavors in all the dishes we tried at Lion Dance! #veganisnotscary #veganin2023 #pasta #spicy #ditchdairy

Kojio E Pepe Pasta

Made from scratch and you can taste it! Brilliant flavors in this dish. This is a spicy coconut soup with rice noodles, tofu puffs, seared Hodo yuba, roasted honeynut squash, urfa chili sambal, laksa leaves and pepita and garlic chili crisp. The Hodo Yuba was my favorite! This Laksa has so much depth. It definitely has heat and also sweetness from the squash. I loved ALL the flavors 🤤 I spent 4 months in Malaysia and ate a lot of Laksa. I don't remember trying any like this but that doesn't mean I didn't love it! Apparently there are dozens of styles of Laksa and I want to try them all 🍜😍🍜 #veganisnotscary #veganin2023 #spicy #squash #laksa

Laksa

WOW - I was skeptical about this dessert as the staff said it had a mochi-like center, wrapped in a brownie-like crust. I’m not a huge mochi fan, but this cake was one of the best and most interesting desserts I’ve ever tried. It was truly amazing and I would eat this every day if I could!

This dish with house made pasta was yummy, but different than I expected. I thought it might be similar to a vegan Alfredo, but it had a more unique flavor. #pasta #veganoakland

This relatively simple salad was very good. The dressing was great and the fried shallots really added to the salad. #salad #veganoakland

This is a seasonal dish and was delicious. The sauce was amazing.

If you are ever in the San Francisco Bay Area make an effort to visit this amazing restaurant, conveniently located downtown Oakland. The food here is delicious. The flavors are so complex. This soup was so good - I could drink the broth straight! Note: It is a very small restaurant (less than 10 tables) and as a result, when you make a reservation, you have to pay a $20 per person deposit. That gets refunded to your card as soon as you arrive. They specialize in locally sourced produce from area farmers markets. I will definitely return and highly recommend!

This shaobing was great! Very tasty and packed full of flavours that all go so well together. I especially loved the grilled eggplant. Only downside is it can get messy to eat 🤪

This is a vegan nasi lemak with deep fried mushrooms and jackfruit rendang. We didn't really like the jackfruit rendang as it was kind of mushy and didn't have much bite to it. The vegan sambal was not bad tho! But overall I would still recommend the laksa over this.
