Check out the more recent review I wrote on Stumptown Vegans, here!
The soup of the day was Hot & Sour - a personal favorite of mine, so I have the right to be pickier than usual. I actually give this the thumbs up. At first I couldn't decide if it was either hot or sour at all - but then the afterbite kicked in after a couple sips. Thomas and I agree that the consistency was right on, and the tofu was just firm enough. Thomas is NOT a hot and sour fan and enjoyed it, and I say give it a little more heat and I'm in love. Look at the matchstick veggies!
Spring rolls with a citrus soy sauce - this one gets credit for the radish side a lone. Oh, and these are in the lead for the best spring rolls in Portland!
It was a birthday celebration and all, so I tried my first avocado smoothie and was not dissapointed, hell no. I think it overshadowed the meal! See you next year for sure, smoothie.
Attack of the giant sunflowers. We saw this on the way home from Nicholas and I thought I'd share, having only recently seen these enormous creatures..I mean plants..

I've edited it a few times, but the text above the spring rolls is screwy - to sum it up - these are our favorite spring rolls in town. Just what you want in a spring roll - not too greasy, no fancypants or strange filling.
Everything sounds so good...and
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!
This looks like a really delicious meal. I like the fact that Portland is so progressive and vegan friendly. I just recently heard someone else talk about an avocado smoothie. I really must try one. I ate an entire avocado all to myself tonight, so I can imagine an avocado smoothie must be pretty tasty and creamy.
Oh that is so great!! And i love the sunflower. HUGE!!
some day.. I will go there! 5.95 are you kidding me???
and the avocado smoothie.. must just be to die for..
happy birthday..
you are a lucky gal!!!
My friend SWEARS by avocado smoothies. but i'm not sure i'm brave enough. Maybe time i sucked it up and just took a sip

Thanks for making me hungry when it's not even close to lunchtime yet! Your birthday rocks. You deserve it. Cherie

what a big plant!
im happy you have a good birthday!
happy belated birthday!
The food looks awesome... I love that you have good vegan food close to you.
thanks! come to portland and go to bay leaf!
Happy belated birthday! Looks like a really good meal, I’m a sucker for a great spring roll, especially with good dipping sauce.
All the food looks wonderful! And that sunflower looks like the ones in my mom's garden. She had 1 that was at least 9 feet tall. And another that had 9 sunflower heads on it (it was only 3 feet tall though)
yum, yum, everything yum.
Happy birthday! Quite a few September birthdays here in veg blog land.
That restaurant sounds great and makes me think of Grasshopper. Though Grasshopper isn't 5.95!
Happy birthday!! Mine was on Tuesday and the celebration is continuing through this weekend.
That looks like a great meal. Isn't it funny when you both order the same thing? Ryan and I often do that.
I've never tried hot and sour soup. Sounds good though.
