“Had wanted to try for a long time. Last night we ordered delivery from Cultivate's website and had great expectations considering the amazing reviews and reputation this place has. I'll tell you, it did not disappoint one bite. Actually exceeded our expectations.We were impressed with the menu. My friend ordered Khao Soi (fresh noodles in golden coconut curry topped with crispy wontons, coriander, and green onions) and I was intrigued by the Buffalo Not a Chicken Sandwich, so I ordered that with regular fries. We also ordered the Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies.Loved that the crispy wontons were in a separate container so they didn't get soggy in transport. Presentation despite 20 minute travel time was awesome and everything was still hot. And, wow, was it delish. I literally went on the website to check that what I was eating was not chicken because it didn't taste like the normal vegan product. My friend loved her noodle dish. And, the cookies were fantastic.Can't wait to check out the restaurant in person. Thank you for having this spot for people to enjoy.“

“The amazing pork was great, beef very tasty too - there is a lot of rice on each dinner. Salad was nice, but maybe don't put it on the same container as it gets warm. The spring rolls very tasty and crunchy - but not much filling. The cheese cake was amazing - I'll not be afraid of purple anymore!“

“They asked if we'd come back.. and we can now for sure say YES! We ordered the grand slam combo to share between the two of us. Everything was fresh and delicious. It was all cooked with love and to perfection. I have got to admit that the pork was tastier than the chicken katsu but they were both good. The curry sauce was to die for. The interior was super vibrant and inviting! Would love to have time to sit and eat there.“

“The after church crowd was here on Sunday and I completely understand why. The food was every thing it needed to be & then some. I ordered the shrimp & grits with a side of eggs. They serve breakfast all day and have a vegan menu. The restaurant is connected to an apartment building so be careful not to pass when looking for it. It has a black & white striped triangular umbrella hovering over it. The staff were kind and the atmosphere was extremely down to earth, but not ghetto. This is a great mom & pop shop that you should fed check out. Be sure to try a flavored lemonade or iced tea. They are tall and one was more than enough. I didn't notice any ASL speaking staff, it wasn't needed, but there is space for wheelchairs. There is also street parking so be mindful. Only downside, our table wasn't exactly clean when sat down, but it was obvious they were busy. Overall, this is a great place for brunch or Sunday takeout dinner.“

“I ordered via ubereats for the 1st time. I deducted a star due to portion size. It is a kid-size portion of curry and roti which comes in a 2 part container. I was still hungry after finishing the meal.I like that the curry was not wrapped in the roti. I found the food to be tasty. The roti was buttery soft melt-in-your-mouth and the curry had flavor. It comes with a side of pepper sauce. It’s worth the $15 if you opt for the buy 1 get 1 offering.“

“Grew up with the OG fat sandwiches down by New Brunswick, so having access to these sandwiches up here is great. I always go for the fat Filipino but I could use more white sauce like they used to do it back in the day Nonetheless, still a great sandwich and is always made ready hot. When I go to the devils game, I love having this as a late night option too.“
