The Peterboro is back after temporarily closing last year

What I ate: The black bean sauce soaked into the eggplant, red peppers and onions gave the veggies a perfect flavor, while the different textures tested my chopstick skills.

• The viable vegan option is as good as I remember and won't make meat eaters flinch.

What's next: I'll have to try the crispy chicken wings with crab rangoon, or the almond chicken — a customer favorite, the bartender told me.

• The restaurant also returns its full bar offering original and classic cocktails, beer, wine and sake.

If you go: 420 Peterboro St.

• Carry out and delivery available Wednesday-Sunday 4:30pm-8pm.
