They have a number of vegan/vegetarian options. The staff didn't seem too knowledgeable about which ones were strictly vegan, so I guess be prepared to figure it out yourself. I got the happy Buddha bowl and it was tasty!
My husband and I dined Shanghai Mama's while we were visiting Cincinnati, and we absolutely loved it! We ordered the peppered steak, faux ribs, and spring rolls. The faux ribs were soooo good. I thought that the peppered steak was just okay, but overall we had a wonderful experience.
I would definitely go back to sample more of their menu!
I can't get enough of this place. I have tried several of their vegan options and they're always so good. Their faux ribs are the BOMB. My husband loves the Szechuan Vegetable entree.
I really do. Most vegans I know like it, but not me. I keep going and I never like any dish I get. But I will always keep going. It's open late, cheap and near by which gets my vote.
There are a nice variety of dishes to get, too. Alas, I have only kind of liked the green beans.
The atmosphere is nice and it's a city staple for us locals. I think everyone should try for themselves though.
Try the faux ribs!!! So amazing! I like to add tofu too. Shanghai Mamas is also open till 3am on Friday and Saturday too. The interior is very cute and I love the music! Great place.

great vegan option for a non veg restaurant - Edit
Orange faux ribs and pepper steak were really good. It was a nice surprise to try something that tasted different from a Chinese restaurant.
