    Wonderful delicious vegetarian food. Outstanding service, beautiful restaurant with plenty of plants around. The service is the best overall. Attentive, caring, helpful. All the entrees are delicious. We had the red coconut curry and forbidden fall, both of which are always delicious. The baos are supposedly not available until 4:30 pm and they made it a "legal" rule which is a bit surprising. The other unexpected thing was the dessert of carrot cake. We have had it previously, and it was always good However, this time, the cake was dry and stale and was not good. Other than that, this was another wonderful experience.

    I've been to 501 before and have never been disappointed. The food was terrific. The waitstaff is great. We were seated at a table that was off to the side so it was quiet and my friends and I could catch up with ease. Highly recommend 501!
