Distinct flavors - Edit
A friend loves this place so we went for a late lunch and it was phenomenal. Loved the mapo tofu and the buddha's feast, which had a ton of veggies, mushrooms and bean curd. Also amazed at the durian pastry, which was stuffed with durian cream with a crispy exterior. Service was extraordinarily attentive. Truly five stars.

Wowwwww vegan Chinese food that’s next level - Edit
Highly recommend this place. The best veggie dumplings and steamed buns I’ve had! All vegan! So so busy! All tables taken. Makes me so happy to see! I wanted to try so much more but didn’t have the stomach space for it! The staff are lovely too!

Cheap Cheerful Dim Sum - Edit
Possibly one of the least expensive vegan eateries in NYC, the dim sum is great; the lunch specials not so much, but good for an inexpensive lunchtime filler.

This is the best place for Chinese in New York City - Edit
I’ve been here many many times. It’s my wife’s favorite place in New York City. They have a very large varied menu with lots and lots of options. The service is fast and friendly, and I’ve never had a bad meal.

Very good food, friendly and attentive staff, but not much atmosphere. However, the dining room was packed and everyone looked as though they were having a great time. Food was served hot and all flavors were well balanced. Greens could have been cut to bite-sized pieces, but otherwise well done. Recommended and looking forward to a return visit.

Everything is vegan here - Edit
Can’t believe that they have the vegan turnip cake, I’ve been looking for the vegan turnip cake for a long time , because the traditional way always makes the taro cake vegan but turnip cake with shrimp , that’s why I was so excited when I know that they have vegan turnip cake here😄

Unvergleichbar gut - Edit
Alles was das Restaurant anbietet ist vegan und sensationell lecker. Von 11 bis 16 Uhr zahlt man für ein Hauptgericht 8,95 $. Die Portionen sind groß und machen definitiv satt. Die Bedienungen sind sehr nett, das Essen schnell fertig und der Service zudem noch sehr effizient. Zu Beginn kriegt man gratis eine Kanne Tee und zum Schluss die Glückskekse geschenkt. Die Preise sind sehr günstig und die Qualität hervorragend.

Great food, with many options. Portion was good, and you get hot tea. The service was quick, but felt like you were in someone’s home.

Great dim sum - Edit
Great vegan dim sum options. We also got a beef dish off the dim sum (not pictured) but I wouldn’t recommend it. The ribs were amazing though.

Chopsticks only 😉 - Edit
Nice meal. Just as good as "the original". Our carnivore friends also enjoyed it. Chopsticks only, she said with a laugh.

Blew me away - Edit
We ordered a ton of stuff off the dim sum menu, and everything was amazing. Our favorites were a sort of rice with “beef” in a lotus leaf and a delicious congee.

This place is SO GOOD. We got a variety of items off the dim sum menu. They were all unique and delicious. I have been to a couple of veg dim sum places in the past - but this absolutely takes the cake.

Has it been confirmed that it’s fully vegan now, do you know? There has always been confusion about this place, whether it’s fully vegan or just vegetarian.

Yeah, I believe it used to just be vegetarian, and it became fully vegan more recently
