Black Straw
Black Straw is a spacious and bright Chinese spot known for its Taiwanese-style tea bar alongside a kitchen serving Asian takeout classics. The menu includes a variety of vegetable-centric dishes like kung pao tofu and crispy spicy tofu, which can be made vegan by omitting oyster sauce. The atmosphere suits groups and solo diners alike, with a casual vibe and reasonable prices, although some find the food a bit bland and the service uneven.
