Did I come on an off day?

Ordered 4 dishes, each was inedible in a different way, veggies did not taste fresh, hot and sour soup tasted like the broth was pure apple cider vinegar, fried food tasted "off".

Would give 1 star if I could, the other reviews make me think this is a rare occurrence, however, my experience was so bad I couldn't help but laugh

Excellent

Large portion, good value and variety.
Minus 1 star for their drinking water tasting weird.

Delicious

Awesome little gem tucked away. I almost walked past it twice, but had the eggplant and tofu.

Should have snapped a picture, but forgot, but was delicious and reasonably priced too.

Pros: Food selection, Price, Taste

Awesome vegan Chinese food with huge menu

All-vegan, large menu with a ton of fantastic options. Got the “beef” and green beans in black bean sauce, as well as the spring rolls (crispy and highly recommend). Quite large portion sizes too!

We need MORE of this!

I was blown away by this place. Huge variety of classic Chinese food. Checked online and asked in store and was assured that EVERYTHING on their menu is Vegan. God I wish we had a place like this where we live. Staff were very friendly. The food we had (dry rib, assorted treasures fried rice, eggplant and tofu) was great, good portion sizes and value. The dry rib had a great texture and coating. I strongly recommend visiting this place to anyone, it's a real gem!

Pros: Great value, 100% VEGAN, Friendly staff

Cons: There's not more places like this

Wow!!

Absolutely fantastic food.

The steamed buns are everything I hoped they would be. Perfect texture and hearty, savoury veggie flavour inside.

The garlic dry ribs have an awesome, “meaty” texture and flavour, same with the drumsticks.

I got the kung pao “chicken”, which came with a seitan-based chicken and an array of seasoned veggies in the kung pao sauce. Very flavourful with healthy greens.

The “lamb” curry was outstanding, beautiful curry flavour.

Overall, everything here was wonderful and I’m so excited to go back!

All vegan Chinese food

Had the hot and sour soup with veggie spring rolls. The soup was thick and medium spice with lots of tofu. The spring rolls were small but a good price for 3.

Pros: All vegan, value, friendly quick service

Cons: The mall

Best vegan Chinese food in Calgary!

I love Happy Veggie so much! They have friendly staff, great prices, large portion sizes and delicious food. My favourites are the fried Shanghai noodles, garlic dried ribs, ginger beef, and assorted wheat gluten. Honestly, I haven’t tried a dish that I didn’t like from them. It’s all delicious!

Hidden gem 💎 in Chinatown

If you’re having trouble finding this place it’s in the green City Plaza pavilion (see pictures for more detail). Inside you’ll find a small food court and it’s the on the left past the hairdressers.

Huge selection of dishes to try. I grabbed the Veggie House noodle soup, and the tofu rolls.

The lady behind the counter was super sweet and helpful. I sat in and she brought some tea 🍵

The portions are huge! The soup was really nice, and filling. The tofu rolls were great too, haven’t had anything like those.

Pros: Very filling , Huge portions , Sweet staff

It's a tad hard to get to, but that won't stop me from visiting whenever I'm in town. They've got a huge selection of all vegan foods and are very friendly.

Pros: Huge selection, All vegan

Cons: Hard to get to

Reminds me of HK

This was my first stop after checking into my downtown hotel, and it was exactly what I wanted. Quick, simple, no fuss, good portions, and satisfying. They speak Cantonese and the menu is in English/Chinese.

Not so tasty, but

My girl liked the food better. Maybe I'll try something else next time.
Not pricey, but a dusty and loud place.

Amazing value & taste

My husband and I got lunch here and it’s amazing! Huge, tasty portions for great prices. Highly recommend the ginger beef over fried rice, but everything was so good you can’t go wrong.

Not as good as last time

Ordered via door dash and was not happy with the food at all, my first visit in 2019 was great, but this meal (special rice, chow mein, chikn drumsticks and spring rolls) was not up to par. Everything tasted of poor quality and the flavours were off. Very disappointed.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Staff know what’s vegan

Cons: Poor quality

Amazing !

Worth searching this place out and don’t let the decor put you off. Situated in an inconspicuous food court, this place is a real gem ! Lovely staff and a huge choice of food. All cooked fresh and tasting amazing ! Our only problem was choosing what to have. We’re only here for two nights and we might go back tomorrow ❤️

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Cooked fresh, Lovely staff

Cons: Having to choose !

Incredible!!

Adding to the countless 5 star reviews! My partner and I loved our food 😍 We ordered dumplings, chow mein, and the main sweet n sour dish. Everything came out amazing! The portions were MASSIVE so we were able to eat our leftovers for dinner the next night too! The menu is extensive and for the price it’s a no brainer. Plenty of great choices. I strongly recommend the dumplings 🤤

Pros: All vegan now, Huge portions , The dumplings 🥟😍

Fantastic Chinese food

Absolutely delicious. Not sure if they've stopped using eggs or not, but according to their Skip the Dishes menu pretty well everything seems to be vegan. Everything I've tried was delicious, but the garlic dry ribs were fantastic . Will definitely be back!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Delicious food
