Average. Nothing special

The house fried rice was good but the chowmein was a bit soggy and not tasty. I also ordered the drumsticks and did not like it, it had no flavor

Tasty Chinese food

Most dishes are vegan but they still have some fish and egg here and there.
We had the vegan fried chicken, fin shark vegan soup and vegan beef noodles. There is no desserts but that is a good thing if you like food too much. 😜

Delicious Chinese Food

Had such a good meal. You need to ask what is vegan but can strongly recommend eating here. The meat substitutes they use are terrific.

Excellent veg food

I’ve had many different items on the menu and while I do have some favourites none have disappointed me. I lean more towards the items that are not made with the fake meat products although I have had a few and they are fine. The food tends to be very flavourful, fresh and not overly spicy.

My gold standard

My bf and I went here for lunch on a Friday and were blown away by how delicious everything was. We got the Orange Chicken and Broccoli Beef with rice and hot tea for 2. The sauces were flavorful, the vegetables were ultra-fresh, and the mock meats were out of this world. The star of the show was the "chicken", and for that alone we would make the trip here again. We need more of it! :)

Great vegetarian option in Chinatown

This place was just what we needed as a family of vegetarians and vegans. Got spring rolls, dumplings, spicy wontons, noodles, fried rice, and tea. Wontons were our least favorite but still good. Recommended.

Pros: Lots of options, Kids loved it - "best dumplings I've ever had"

Cons: None

Great option in Chinatown

This was our second attempt for Chinese food in one day. Enjoy vegetarian did not disappoint. I had the orange chicken and it was flavorful and fresh. My husband had the king pao tofu and appreciated the level of spice. We also had the sesame balls for dessert and those were warm and delicious!

Pros: Lots of options

Very disappointing

Maybe we ordered the wrong offerings, but we were VERY DISAPPOINTED. Soup was thin, mock goose was a pancake stuffed with some sauteed vegs with an strange sauce -- needed to smother in extra soy sauce. Same for another entry. I've eaten in 100 vegan/veg Chinese restaurants in NY, Philly, Hong Kong, San Fransisco, Beijing and elsewhere in China. In SFO you can do much better elsewhere.

Pros: People were very friendly

Cons: Menu needs pictures, Food that we ordered was a huge dissapointment., Have eaten at 99 better Chinese vegan/veg places

This place is legit!

We had dinner here two nights in a row and ordered different dishes each time. Everything was great and tasted like the way they should. The big menu can be a blessing and a curse. It's easy to pick something you end up not liking out of 90 items if you don't know your way around Chinese vegetarian food, especially if you solely rely on the English descriptions, which are very plain and basic. Not much ambiance or service to speak of, it's pretty much a walk in, order, eat, pay, and leave kind of place. The food was delicious and we left happy; that's all that mattered!

Pros: great food, huge menu

Must visit in SF!

We love this place! We went to both locations and had excellent experiences and meals! It’s hard to find a Chinese vegetarian place that makes such delicious food. We enjoyed the orange chicken, combination platter, braised spareribs with daikon radish, veggie duck, and Dan Dan noodles were ALL notable. We’d eat here all the time if we lived here! Also, excellent customer service at both locations! 👌🏼

Cons: Expensive

Best vegan chinese

This was the best vegan restaurant we tried in SF. We got dumplings, wonton soup, ham chow mein and chicken fried rice. It was all delicious. The area was nice as well. If you are deciding between golden era (a nearby veg rest.) and this restaurant, pick this one. I saw another review saying the restaurant was cold. If you ask the waitress to close the door she will.

Pros: Delicious food, Nice location, Lots of options

Cons: Cold if door is open (ask to close)

Only okay

We’ve been to a few vegetarian Asian restaurants and this was not one of the best we’ve experienced. There were many options to choose from which was good. However things were pretty heavily sauced and oily. Not a place we’ll go back to.

Pros: Lots of options

Very authentic

Mock Shark fin soup, sea slug, fatty pork - a little too literal for vegetarians, even if fake. Food proportions were good. However the spice level is definitely Thai spicy, be careful when ordering anything spicy even with one chili symbol!

Update: did takeout in March 2021. Food was very good! I do think there are better vegan Chinese restaurants in the bay though, namely Nature in Oakland but it’s solid if you are in Chinatown and looking for a veg place.

Pros: big portions , variety of food

Cons: rude service, too spicy

Solid, tasty Chinese food

Very solid choice for Chinese food in the area. Portion size, atmosphere and service are all good for the price point.
Personal favorites include the spicy wontons, golden knots, Shanghai rice cakes, Singapore noodles, and fried tofu appetizer.

Nice spot for vegetarian (mostly vegan) Chinese food, with good options for mock meat. Did not blow me away but was a tasty, quick option for lunch!

Even my non-vegan grandma liked it!

I got Uber eats for myself and my grandma. She always says she doesn’t like fake meats, but she loved her wonton soup. She said she wasn’t very hungry, but she thought it was so tasty, she ate the whole thing! I got the Singapore Style Chow Rice Vermicelli, and a Veggie Sticky Rice Dumpling. I loved it, and I also ate everything. Thank you Enjoy Vegetarian Restaurant!!

Loved the kung po “chicken”

Pros: 100% vegetarian

Cons: Could be clearer that it’s fake meat

Too many options!

In Chinatown with a friend the other day, so we stopped here for dinner. It seems like everything is vegan minus like one dish, which was labeled non-vegan. We were a little overwhelmed by the menu, which is huge, and everything sounded and looked amazing. We basically ended up ordering the same as the guys at the next table because it looked great, haha.

We had the tarot cakes, which were pretty yummy and very filling(they also tasted good the next day as leftovers surprisingly). We also tried the lettuce wraps which were both of our favorites. They had a really nice sauce and were very refreshing on the boiling hot San Francisco day (never thought I'd type out those words in my life. Fricking climate change). That was actually plenty of food but our eyes were bigger than our stomachs so we also tried the green beans with veggie beef. They looked really good, and they were fine, but I don't think I would order them again...the sauce had a little bit of a weird texture for me.

Tasty Lunch Enjoyed

Searched out this restaurant from HappyCow app. All food on menu so a little difficult to choose from so much choice. Had $11.99 lunch menu with kung po tofu and peppers and another dish of eggplant and tofu.

Very tasty, generous portions and served with green tea as standard.

Pros: Lots of choice, Tasty food
