Not good for vegans at all: AVOID - Edit
Before I went, I saw a bunch of reviews both here and on Google maps saying they had a separate vegan menu, when I went there and asked about that, the person replied with a very stern "no" and walked away (it looks like most of the reviews mentioning the separate menu are from 2019 so maybe they changed ownership since then or something...)
Read moreWhen I went up to the counter to ask if any of the dishes were suitable for vegans, I was told all of the dishes with a V next to them were vegan, which was obviously incorrect as a lot of those had eggs explicitly listed as one of the ingredients. This told me they had no idea what veganism was.
Nevertheless, I clarified that I needed dishes without eggs or dairy and was told the vegetable soup with tofu fit that criteria so I ordered that (note for recent comments saying they had the dumplings: I'm very sorry but you probably unknowingly ate eggs as the man told me they had eggs in them😒)
At this stage, I was feeling very untrusting of the food I was served and didn't finish the soup as the broth kind of tasted chickeny to me (it very well could have been in my head, but I thought I should mention it).
Had I been alone, I would have left from the moment it was clear they didn't know what "vegan" means, but I was with colleagues and afraid to make a fuss, especially since I enthusiastically agreed to go there after looking at past reviews... (fully on me though, I think they would have understood)
To conclude:
I think this place might have been more vegan-friendly in the past, but that is very much not the case anymore: AVOID.

Great! - Edit
I came here for dinner with my family the other day and was really impressed! They have a separate vegan menu and we ordered several different things from that to share. Unsurprisingly the pot sticker dumplings were the smash hit of the meal but everything else was also very good. I would definitely come back again!

Good but room for improvement - Edit
Not a lot of protein on the menu, but the dumplings are very good. It would be great if they added more tofu dishes.
