Afterglow

Visiting Afterglow was a vibrant journey into the heart of plant-based cuisine. The experience started with their signature Afterglow Maki Rolls, a perfectly balanced spicy and tangy treat that set my taste buds alight, though they were a bit dry; however, upon request, the waiter kindly offered me some complementary almond spread as a dip. Next came the Cauliflower ‘Steak’. It was nothing short of a culinary marvel, turning a humble vegetable into a dish bursting with flavor and texture, both hearty and delightful. Finally came the Acai Bowl, a dessert that defied all my expectations. It wasn’t just a simple bowl of fruit and granola; it was an artful blend of fresh, juicy fruits, the crunch of granola, and the velvety smoothness of acai sorbet. Each spoonful was a celebration of taste, striking a rare balance between indulgence and health. This dish wasn’t just the end of a meal; it was the highlight, leaving a lasting impression of how incredibly satisfying and diverse vegan food can be. Afterglow isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a testament to the beauty and richness of vegan cuisine. It’s a place where every dish is crafted with care, not just for the flavors but for the story it tells about plant-based eating. For anyone who cherishes vegan food or is curious about it, Afterglow is a must-visit. I loved it and will definitely be back!

Had a very attentive server explaining the ingredients behind the dishes. The menu is well marked for common allergens such as nuts, gluten, alliums, etc. We absolutely loved the vegan meatballs. Each dish was flavorful and even our non-vegans friends had an enjoyable experience at this restaurant. The salads are also nicely seasoned. Would like to come back for their desserts next time. The place is quite cozy and intimate but perhaps not suitable for larger groups (6+ people) as it is hard to navigate between tables.

First time visited with a friend for a lunch. The ambience and atmosphere is relaxing. The food portions are quite big and very satisfying. Really grateful for the kind lady who explained us and asked us if we had any allergies etc and notified us of the dishes that have nuts at the same time gave some good recommendations. Very attentive, detailed and the food was delicious. Such a heartwarming experience.

Their last day of operation will be November 30. I love their food and the atmosphere. Anything with their vegan cheese sauce is delicious, such as their baked sweet potato fries 🍟 Nothing is fried here btw - generally the food is rather health focused but that doesn’t mean it’s not tasty. Try their TomYum Zoodles, homemade dips and ofc the cheese sauce while you still can!

1. Afterglow Kimchi Avo Rolls - I disliked the taste entirely 2. Teriyaki Meatballs - the best 3. Tom Yum Zoodles - too spicy 4. Salted Eggless Sweet Potato Fries - good for the first few bites when it's hot. The Teriyaki meatballs were incredible. They were so good that they probably contributed to the other dishes seeming average. Nevertheless, for the steep asking price, I was expecting more flavor burst from the rest of the food. The restaurant was tiny and our table next to the counter felt cramped. All in all, I do not feel the need to go back to this restaurant.

The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxing meal. The staff members were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They took the time to give us detailed explanations of the dishes and provided us with their recommendations. Every dish we've tried was bursting with flavors even though its vegan. One dish that really stood out to me was the mushroom balls. Its packed with savory umami flavors and the texture is on point. The cauliflower steaks were also perfectly seasoned and had a delightful char that added a smoky depth to the dish. The friendly and attentive service combined with the incredible food made for a truly memorable dining experience.
