Decent vegan options

The waiter was knowledgeable about vegans, options were good with all of the vegetable dishes able to be veganised with added tofu if wanted.
Food was nice & fresh.

Cons: Shark fin soup

Absolute little gem

Saw they had tofu on the menu so asked if they could make anything vegan? The lovely young man went through all what could be made vegan and then said if there’s any other dishes we want they would make. I had tofu & veg in black bean and pepper sauce with boiled rice; hubby had spicy tofu & veg with sweet and sour sauce and chips. Very tasty and very reasonable price too would definitely go back x

Pros: Knowledge of menu and vegan, nice vibe , Price

Basic options for vegans

Vegan options include ‘vegetable balls’, vegetable chow main and fried rice, and a tofu stir fry. Food was okay, although quite basic. Portions were small when compared with a typical Chinese restaurant.

Pros: Vegan aware

Cons: Basic options, Options not labelled in menu

This place is GREAT. They don’t have many vegan dishes on the menu but they are happy to swap tofu and vegetables into any dish. The food was very tasty. The portions were huge. Service was fast and friendly. Top marks from me.

Pros: Flexible with menu to suit vegan, Friendly, Really tasty food

Shark fin soup!

Wasn’t for us. We sat down to order but saw shark fin soup on the menu. I certainly don’t rank the suffering of animals and I know these places serve all kinds of animals and sea creatures. But seeing that on the menu upset me, given that the sharks have their fins cut off and then are thrown back in the sea to drown. So we left and went elsewhere.

Wow!

This place is amazing - even when the Menü isn’t fully vegan, the Chef made us really really good and authentic vegan dishes like Curry Rice with vegetables, Ricenoodles with Tofu and vegetables, delicious vegan Spring Rolls and fried rice🥳 The prices are suuuuper low but the quality and also the portions are great!

Pros: Awesome food , Good prices, Many dishes which are easy to veganize

5 stars if I could! Really accommodating to vegan and to allergies. Very kind and friendly, food was delicious. Sweet and sour and chow mein were our favourites, they can do both with tofu or veg.

Pros: Easy to do vegan, Kind owners, Tasty food

Decent food

The staff are very friendly. I ordered vegetable fried rice with curry. I asked if I could also get tofu and the chef was happy to include it in my meal! However the tofu did have a weird after taste to me... maybe it was the way they prepared it. But the rest of the dish was quite nice and affordable.

Pros: The chef can tailor your meal upon request , Affordable

Cons: Tofu had a strange after-taste to me

Perfect owner willing to adapt!

Owner is incredibly vegan aware and happy to adapt any dish and prepare in a vegan friendly way. Friendly and happy to help, and when I ordered tofu actively asked if I wanted fried rice with it without the traditional egg.

Pros: Serves tofu dishes , Happy to amend existing dishes like fried rice

Cons: Not many vegan menu items but happy to adapt
