We opted to share Pad See-ew which included broad rice noodles, collard greens, carrots, fried tofu, and broccoli. The collard greens have been an particularly fascinating addition and blended effectively with the chewy noodles and the opposite greens. We additionally tried Candy and Bitter Cashew Stir-fry which had a tangy tomato-based sauce with stir-fried peppers, onions, cashews and tofu.
