Sipz

Respecting the world...respecting the earth...respecting one another...This is the Sipz's motto, and I just may adopt it as my own personal mantra. I have eaten at Sipz a few times, and every time I go I find something unique and special that I didn't notice the time before.

So just a little overview about Sipz. It is 100% vegetarian and a good amount of the dishes are vegan. Opened in 2002 by Win and Sylvia Le, it has since doubled in size and in addition to Thai/Vietnamese/Japanese/Chinese/Italian fusion they have a vegan sushi bar. It always takes me about fifteen minutes to pick, because there is so much to choose from (a departure from most menus at veggi restaurants). The prices are very reasonable, with dishes ranging about 8 or 9 dollars, its really affordable. The interior is eclectic, the highlight being a huge mural along the wall with the sushi bar.
But lets get down to the important stuff...the food.


My Tom Yum, my favorite Thai dish, the broth has a coconut/lemongrass/citrus flavor with all sorts of veggies mixed in. Simply Delectable

I love Sipz because it takes cultures whose cuisine generally centers around a meat and makes them about the other fantastic, fresh ingredients, sometimes with a meat substitute and sometimes without. The vegan sushi bar and desert options just tip Sipz over the edge, I give it an 8.5, cant wait for my next fusion meal.
