So good you eat until overfull - Edit
We enjoyed everything we tried there. Was quick, good price, delicious and easy to park. I wish I live next door I wouldn't cook anymore. Nothing to say except worth every penny. Thank you. Be prosperous

Just what we were missing! - Edit
This place was amazing! Since going veg, my husband and I have missed Asian food so much. I would dare say this is better than your meat Asian dishes. Friendly staff and delicious food. Will definitely be back!

Pretty good overall - Edit
We ate there on a Saturday afternoon, our food came out hot and quickly. It was my first visit and the waitress was very helpful and patient with my lack of knowledge of their menu. I ordered what she called “happy family”, they got the tofu to taste so close to seasoned meat even my long time vegan friend was surprised. The vegies were cooked but still crispy, which is my favorite way to cook them at home. My one critique is there was, what I’m guessing as a fake shrimp in the meal, it was limp mushy and yucky, it had the consistency of a piece of under cooked pork. Over all I’d totally eat there again.
Read morePros: Total vegan menu, you can’t mess it up, Helpful staff, Great tasting food

Amazing - Edit
We would eat here once a week if we could afford it. I love that I can order whatever I want and not have to worry if there are meats or meat products in anything (which is a problem at most other restaurants). The entrées are large enough to share or save for leftovers. We loved everything that we've tried so far. The family owners are very nice and helpful.
Read moreI just wish the menu descriptions were better. Several items come with things like dipping sauces and we have no idea what's in them. They're delicious but this could be an issue for those with life-threatening food allergies.
Overall, I'd recommend Pinellia to everyone, even meat eaters.
Pros: delicious food, large entrée portions, nice staff
Cons: prices aren't low enough to eat there regularly, menu descriptions aren't detailed enough

Absolutely Amazing. - Edit
The tofu is cooked so that it resembles crispy chicken. This is especially important if you are looking for vegan meat substitutes!

A cozy gem - Edit
Visiting the girlfriends parents for the weekend when we decided to open the app and find something local.
Read moreWe ended up selecting this place and walked in to a full dining area. Ended up ordering all sorts of appetizers and meals to try them all. When we left there was a chorus of kids wishing us a happy new year which was uplifting and smile inducing ☺️
Do not be fooled by the paper plates and red solo cups, as they just add to the experience. Will be back when we make it to town again.
Pros: Vegan options of almost all Asian dishes

AMAZING food - Edit
This small, take-out style restaurant with all vegan Asian cuisine makes **amazing** meals. Its appearance is deceptive -- it's in a strip mall, the decor leaves a lot to be desired, and they use paper plates and plastic utensils. But the food is to die for. Everything we've had so far has been perfect: pineapple soy, orange seitan, jade mushrooms, General Tso's soy. Even the little side salad has a great dressing. The menu is HUGE so lots to choose from. And, everything is served very quickly. My new favorite South Bend restaurant -- no joke.
Read morePros: All vegan, big menu, DELICIOUS, Quick & friendly service

Huge all-vegan menu! - Edit
The co-owners (husband and wife team) were both working when we were in. We spoke with the lady quite a bit and she was very friendly. There are like four 4-person booths inside but it is more geared for carry-out. I’ve only been there once and am anxious to try some of the other options because the menu is HUGE! Lots of options from tofu to seitan, etc. etc. etc.
Read morePros: Tons of options, 100% vegan, Reasonable prices
Cons: Not a huge amount of seating
