Great place for asian cuisine - Edit
Wonton for appetizer. Chicken fried rice and mushroom/sprouts wrapped in bean curd for entrees. Great flavors. If you are interested in chinatown and want a vegan experience i recommend this place. Good food and good service. Took 20 minutes to find parking in the vicinity. If you are visiting from small town usa this will be an eye opener for you. Plan accordingly.

Not the best option. - Edit
The menu looked amazing, but the food was average at best. My dining partner found a dead insect in his food, and we both lost our appetites.
Read morePros: Many vegan options., Inexpensive.

Veggie goose and great tea - Edit
I've been here for a few times now, even brought omni friends and family. The menu is full of strange things. My personal favorites so far are the vegetarian goose and lemon sauce chicken. I also recommend paying the 50c extra for chrysanthemum tea - it's a curious taste sensation of a drink!
Read moreI think some of the things I've tried here weren't super great and the cash only requirement is inconvenient, but it's a great authentic Chinese place to go!

Excellent price for excellent food - Edit
The food is really delicious! It is a lot of food for a great price. It looked like they didn't used garlic and onion, at least my husband, who is intolerant to those, didn't had any problems.

One of my favorites in San Francisco - Edit
I go to Lucky Creation all of the time. I love the Lucky Creation Chow Mein, and the Mushrooms in Golden Nest is a must (if you like a variety of fresh and dried mushrooms). The Tofu/Pepper/Eggplant is also mouth-watering wonderful. And their Wheat Gluten Puffs are all really tasty (though sweetened). Their Vegetarian Goose is one of my favorites anywhere. Very reasonably priced.

Huge selection of delicious food - Edit
The wonton soup was something special. On a rainy day it was delicious and texturally interesting. And the tofu is amazing! I recommend anything where you can try the soft and supple tofu — by far the highlight.

Wide range of faux-meats - Edit
We had dinner here and I was surprised by the wide range of faux-meats the menu offered. Good thing we could share various plates to try as much as possible!

meh. - Edit
Not that good at all. The food is something you would expect to get when you go to a meat restaurant with froends and they create something for you that is not on the menu. It was supper bland and boring. I wasn’t impressed with the way they were cleaning the place as we were trying to eat our meal as it is a tiny place and I mean with gross rubber gloves and taking garbage out right trough the restaurant. The place had a very gross over all feel. I would not go back and I don’t recommend you go at all.

My fave Chinatown vegan spot... - Edit
I've come here for years and it's always been good, vegan and cheap! They are friendly, unlike Enjoy. The head waitress (owner?) always remembers me and gives me an awkward side hug, haha! I just learned her name is Ice, pronounced I.C. I always get the mixed gluten from the case and one of their chow meins. The lemon chicken, eggplant dish and vegetables in a nest are all good too! I haven't tried everything; there's too much.They also have sweets near the door, usually red bean cake.

Vegan Chinese! - Edit
I was super happy with this restaurant! Right away I asked the waitress if there were vegan options and she then told me the entire menu was vegan! Finally a time where I could eat anything on the menu hahaha. My dad and I decided to share the spring rolls, mixed veggies over rice and some noodles, all of which were very delicious. The service was fast and the staff was super sweet!

Yummy 10/10 - Edit
I don't know how to use chopsticks all that well but that didn't stop me from shoveling my soy beef on vermicelli into my mouth because that [censored] was hella good. My man suggested we go to this place because, although he isn't vegan, he respects that I am and he's always looking for new places for us to eat. Let me just finish off by saying I'm glad he found this place.

Good food on the cheap - Edit
Wonderful little fully vegetarian (mostly vegan) restaurant in San Francisco's Chinatown neighbourhood. I had just flown into town that afternoon and was exhausted, but starving as well. The food here was fun and very tasty, and surprisingly cheap considering SF's normal price ranges.
Read moreI'll most likely be here a few more times on this trip.
Only downside is a cash only policy, but there are multiple ATMs within a block's radius of the restaurant.
Pros: Filling, Cheap, Great vegan options
Cons: cash only

Alas, a vegan Chinese restaurant - Edit
Despite looking for parking, this restaurant has it all. The food was amazing, the price was amazing, and the employees were helpful. The restaurant does use wheat and soy for their faux meat based foods. I tried the chow mein and I was speechless!! It's amazing. I hadn't had chow mein since I went vegan and this restaurant hit the spot. The only thing I'm not too fond about is the bathroom and the parking. Other than that, it's all good. Also, the plates are family sized.
Read morePros: All vegan, Helpful employees , Great prices
Cons: Looking for parking, Bathroom inside kitchen

Speechless - Edit
Totally mixed feelings about this place, not what I expected. While service was decent, kind people, loved the family vibe- I must admit I was slightly disgusted by the situation of the location/place. This only allows a low rating of 2 but I would maybe be bold enough to say 1 star at best. We ordered three things, again while decent I would highly discourage going here on a date or even taking a friend. Additionally the bathrooms were way too close to the kitchen and food preparation.

Best Cantonese cuisine in the US! - Edit
I lived in Hong Kong a few years ago and this place reminds be of the awesome vegan food I would get there! In South Asia restaurants like this are set up to serve several dishes meant to be ordered for several people. Getting one thing on the menu may be anticlimactic. Ask your server to suggest something on the menu if you are ordering just one thing.

Bland and Boring - Edit
I didn't like anything we ordered. The sauces were tasteless and were a gelatinous constancy. The teapot had lots of crusties around the rim.
Read moreLooking around the room, other people's food looked better than ours. I should have asked to try theirs. Ha

over priced and tasteless - Edit
On a visit to Chinatown I was hoping to achieve a more sincere experience than Loving Hut, but I found Lucky Creation to be completely underwhelming. The menu isn't very variable and I found the price to be high for what was offered. My spring rolls were incredibly greasy and devoid of flavor and my entree was essentially just watery veggies.
Read moreI would definitely not recommend this place to anyone for any reason other than the minimal mock-meat selection (and I've had better mock-meat elsewhere as well). CASH ONLY.
Pros: none
Cons: overpriced, greasy (not in a good way), cash only

basic & cheap - Edit
I liked this place because I prefer a vegetarian/vegan restaurant over a "normal" one and hoping that they have veg dishes on the menu and truly know what vegan implies. This place appeared to be one of the few in china town which is vegan, which is good because I didn't want to walk 10 blocks for food.
Read moreThe food was served fast, questionably possibly too fast for it to be freshly made. Taste was OK, but rather bland and not much use of spices (I however found this to be the case in most of my american food experiences).
Service was basic but friendly.
Pros: cheap, one of the few vegan places in the area, Large portions
Cons: tast is bland, Not sure how fresh the food was
