"Everything actually made from plants and tastes unlike anything you can get anywhere else."
"The flavor fills my mouth, spices, heat, crunchy, soft bun, it is truly so delicious that my mouth slows it's chewing to savor every flavor that pops into my taste buds."
"The classic superiority burger was truly delicious with super tasty sauce."
"The sweet potatoes were the best dish, super crispy on the outside, and super soft, almost like mashed potatoes on the inside, in a flavorful green sauce."

"The food was quick the sloppy joe was amazing !!!"
Cons:

"Given the bold claim of the name Superiority Burger, I was surprised at how inferior the mushy, bland, and boring patty was."
"The burnt broccoli that I used to dream about was cold and tasted purely of vinegar."
"The famous superiority burger was about 4 bites for $18."
"The sloppy Jane, which consisted of soft tofu in tomato sauce on an un-toasted bun - absolutely disgusting."
"The flagship superiority burger was the worst dish we got. The “burger” tasted like lentil paste."

Value for Money

"Price also pretty good for your pocket."
"All of it was delicious and the price was excellent."
"After tax $10.89 so pretty decent for the value."

"Everything is delicious and insanely affordable... Every dish is filling yet under $10!"
"The burgers here are pretty cheap."
Cons:
"Truly cannot exaggerate how small the portions are + how much they cost…"
"$12 for a single serving fries is an abomination."
"This place is quite pricey, but worth it to try once in my opinion."
"Awful, overpriced food (portions are so tiny for a 30$ burger.)"
"The food is on the bit expensive side. about $20 for the superiority burger."
"Ridiculously expensive for the size."
"A total of $52 for 2 burgers and a single order of fries is absolutely insane and not even close to worth it."
Ambiance
Pros:

"The aesthetic and vibe of this restaurant is super cool."
"It has an old-school diner retro feel but with a distinctly nightlife atmosphere as well."
"The atmosphere and seating was nice."
"Fun diner retro vibe."
Cons:
"The seating arrangement is very odd."
"Kind of a weird seating arrangements here so if you have more than 2 people with you, take your food on the go, you likely won't find a seat."
"Underwhelming, food is average at best. Played out kitschy retro diner."
"The seating is nonexistent and the tiny tables they do have were dirty."
"Their restaurant is too small to feel comfortable there... we had to take our order to go and sit in the nearest park."
"The whole 'diner' vibe doesn't feel right when we left feeling a bit hungry after spending $40 each, and we didn't even get drinks :("
"Hipster diner atmosphere with minuscule portions at fine-dining prices."
