Love this local stir fry and salad spot for quick, health conscious and sustainable eats. Their headquarters are located in Fishtown off of Front st and Oxford St. Hot tip: Coming soon you'll be able to order food/pick up from their HQ using only local delivery apps! I really enjoy this location however the 16th and Walnut location has menu items not featured at this one!
