Delicious Chinese vegan - Edit
Get the assorted appetizer plate with 4 kinds of meat and a little seaweed salad! It's always a hit.

Wow… Impressed Good restaurant! - Edit
Came here and we had the lunch menu. Prices off the bat were VERY reasonable! The service was very good and the waiters always came by to check on us throughout our whole experience. The taste of the food was very fresh and flavorful. We would definitely return in the future and would recommend this place! #Veganuary

So many options - Edit
A great vegan spot in Chinatown, with heaps of options including soup dumplings (I’ve never found vegan versions of these anywhere else so that was great to try). We also tried the turnip cakes and the sweet and sour chicken - both great. None felt very healthy, but that’s not what you go to a place like this for anyway. They also gave out free tea and fortune cookies, and had $7 house wines (good price for NY). I’d definitely return to try more if I could.

To die for - Edit
I spent a week in New-York and went to this restaurant THREE times. I had the chance to try a few dishes, and I loved it all. The room is not so big, and some of the tables are quite close, but the waitresses are great and the atmosphere is very nice.
Read moreWe ordered the wonton soup ($3.95) which was very tasty and comforting, as well as four different kinds of dim sum: fried taro dumplings, steamed taro dumplings, Cha Shui Baos and pan fried buns.
The fried taro dumplings were very surprising and tasty, but my favorite discovery was the veggie baos. The dough was so airy and tasty, and the mix of "meat" and veggies was incredible. I liked the steamed taro dumplings too, but they seemed quite basic after the baos. I didn't really enjoy the pan fried buns (they were ok, but not really to my taste, and I had never tried it before). The dim sum came by 3pieces per course.
I also tried the vegan BBQ meat ($12,95) with a bowl of white rice ($1,50). It's quite simple but it was very good, well seasoned, and the portions were generous.
It's an amazing place. I'm definitely coming back as soon as possible 🥲
Pros: Not that expensive, Very tasty food, Free tea
Cons: Tables can be quite close

I loved it - Edit
As for now, I’ve only been there once but I’ll come back for sure since I’m located near by and it was very good! There is a loooot of option and it took me time to make a choice. The dishes I had were excellent and it was the first time I tasted them even though I wanted to try them out for a long time : the wonton soup and the Sichuan beef with rice. Very tasty. I loved the dumplings in the wonton soup. As for the Sichuan dish it’s not for everybody since it has a particular flavor (I think it’s the peppercorns that makes it) but I’m glad I tasted it. Once again, I loved the free tea.
Read moreOn a Thursday night, it was quite crowded! I can’t wait to try the other dishes.
Edit : I’ve been there three times in total and it was so good and comforting each times. I tried the dumplings dim sum : I LOVED the fried taro dumplings and the meat buns, I liked less the steamed taro dumplings and the pan fried dumplings. I also tried the sesame chicken which was so so good.

Stopped by for a late lunch and to try some dim sum as I’ve never had it before. Everything was so good, especially the bao buns, I could eat them all day. Definitely coming back here on my next trip to the city!

Favourite Vegan Dim Sum Spot! - Edit
We stumbled upon this spot on our way to a different spot and so glad we did. We got there on a Sunday just as it opened so was seated right away. We only planned to eat a little bit as we were wandering through the area, so ordered an assortment of dumplings and a rice roll. The food was hot and delicious! I wish I had more time here because I would have gone back to try more of the menu!

Vegan Dim Sum - Edit
If you enjoy Dim Sum, you do not want to miss this place. The choice is large, the service is fast and friendly, and you can also order main courses and desserts if you feel like it. Everything I tried was flavorful and with a lot of different textures. I strongly recommend.

One of my favorite NYC restaurants - Edit
I grew up in a Taiwanese household, and one of the hardest parts of being vegan has been not eating my childhood favorites. Finding this place has been amazing! Sticky rice in lotus leaves, radish cakes, soup dumplings, taro balls, bbq “pork” buns - this place has so much, and it’s delicious & affordable as well! I typically come here with my partner, and we leave stuffed for under $40 (including tip).

Would not go back - Edit
I'm not sure why this place has such good reviews. When we walked in, I noticed that the restaurant floors were dirty, which didn't bode well for what was to come. When I used the restroom, I noticed that this was also very dirty. There was a large A/C unit blowing from the back of the restaurant, which made it extremely uncomfortable; I was basically freezing the whole time. I ordered "tofu, peppers and eggplant," which I figured was some kind of stir fry dish with rice. When the dish came out, each vegetable was fried in a thick, sweet batter. It was a gross and weird combo with the vegetables. I wound up just picking the vegetables out and eating what I could that way. We also got the vegetable dumplings as an appetizer, and they were very bland. This was sub par food and if you're in NYC there are way better vegan options.
