Mana Food Bar

! Awesome vegetarian food with a blend of influences:  Indian, Thai, Chinese.  Served in small plates so you can order tons and taste many yummeries.  

Excellent beer list, too.  The number one thing that I crave and brings me back here over and over like an addict is that g-d slider.  I mean, COME ON!  It's like MANA from heaven.

DELICIOUS.  Better than Green Zebra and less expensive. If you want higher end veggie food that everyone can appreciate, please go here.  I've been a vegetarian the majority of my life, so perhaps I'm biased, but then again everyone else seems to love it too.

You must try the Mana Slider and the Mushroom Polenta.  The sake based cocktails are fantastic as well.

The only downside is that it is a tiny ass spot, and very crowded.  Owners should consider expanding pronto.

This is my all time FAVORITE restaurant in the city, possibly ever.  If I could have had them cater my wedding, I would...it is that good.  The place is always clean and service always friendly.  Food is of course delicious.  Every time I go, I have to get at least one mana slider (yes one is often not enough) and a mushroom sautee.  There are so many other delicious menu items (gyoza, goat cheese, panzanella, etc.)  The only downfall is that it is smaller and fills up fast.  Normally I hate eating at the bar but here I actually like it because the bar stools are deceptively comfortable.  And even though this place is vegetarian, don't let that scare you.  I've brought plenty of meat eaters here and they absolutely love it!  Eat here now or forever wonder what the most absolutely delicious food really tastes like!!!
