Taste of Beauty was among our top 3 meals of 2024. We're not vegan or vegetarian--we just like good food. And this was not only good tasting food, but it was also creative/innovative and presented beautifully. We shared a vegan and a vegetarian 8-course tasting menu, plus a dessert, for a total of 17 unique dishes. Every single dish was an exciting revelation. We also deeply appreciated Jun "George" Guo's hospitality in hosting us for a post-dinner tea tasting and for sharing his expertise about teas. We cannot wait to return to try new dishes when they change part of their menu every 6 months--but honestly, we would come back just to eat exactly what we had already because everything was so good!

I had such a great experience at Taste of Beauty! This place is truly unique, with an incredible vibe and beautifully presented dishes that are all plant-based. Every time I come here, it feels like I’m in for something new and exciting, and this time was no different. They recently revamped their menu, and I love the changes. Now you can order à la carte, which gives so much more freedom to try different things! The new setup is great because you don’t have to commit to a whole set menu; you can mix and match whatever catches your eye. I tried a few different dishes this time, and every single one was a winner—so fresh, flavorful, and really creative. The staff is super friendly and genuinely excited about the food they’re serving, which makes the experience even better. If you’re looking for a spot with amazing plant-based options and a relaxed but stylish atmosphere, Taste of Beauty is definitely worth checking out. Already looking forward to my next visit!

I highly recommend this restaurant. Dining was an experience! Each course was artfully presented. I am an omnivore and thoroughly enjoyed my vegetarian tasting menu. My spouse got the vegan tasting menu and it was equally as good. Our staff took the time to explain each dish as it was presented. We will definitely come back!

I recently had a birthday celebration gathering at this place, and wow, what a treat! We enjoyed eight courses, each one more creative and delicious than the last. Every dish was like a little work of art, and it was so much fun to see how unique each one was. The whole vibe of the place felt super zen, almost like a spa. It was all about taking our time and really enjoying each bite. If you’re looking for a dining experience that’s all about great food and a chill atmosphere, I can’t recommend this place enough. It’s definitely a must-try!
