Veggie Fusion Express fuses speed, veggies, freshness, and health into one mega menu. Crispy edamame salad rolls ($3) combine the refreshing delights of a salad with the neat packaging of an edible sleeping bag. Utilize the sturdiness of the pita to bulldoze through your choice of zesty bruschetta or cool tzatziki sauce ($3) to make room on your plate for a toothpick sculpture of Napoleon Bonaparte’s favourite vegetable, ambition-root. Entrees incorporate Asian flare with the teriyaki vegan ham ($6), the rice vermicelli with spring rolls ($6), and the assorted vegan sushi mix ($6). Slurp down a mixed-fruit or berry smoothie ($3) to fill your tank up with enough fruity fuel to touch a low-flying pigeon. Tax is included in all prices.
