Strange unexpected flavours

Strange flavour dishes, disappointed by the food. We went for dinner so the food was expensive. Ordered a number of sides (grilled miso eggplant, scallion pancake, spinach shumai, and also pepper oyster mushrooms) and the ribs with kale and brown rice.

The flavours were not what we expected from a Chinese fusion restaurant, with strange additions to all the recipes. We ordered pretty standard items which are usually pretty hard to go wrong with

Dishes we ordered:
- scallion pancakes were topped with peppers, onions, and mango Chopped up and place on top, and with no dipping sauce. Not flaky like scallion pancakes usual are, and tasted doughy
- grilled miso was sprinkled with seaweed/furikake. Eggplant made my tongue sting
- shumai tasted like boiled peas. Soggy on the bottom of the fillings fell out
- ribs were insanely sweet
- king oyster mushrooms were decent but also topped with an inordinate amount of Bell peppers, onions, chilli, and did not come with any sauce to offset the dryness of the deep fried dish.

Perhaps we ordered the wrong food/out came at a bad time, but we were incredibly disappointed after reading the reviews. Will not be back.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Expensive, Some weird unexpected flavours

Loving Shangri-La

A quiet little place on the corner. No other customers on a Saturday night at 6:30. I had the delicious Vegan Ribs on a plate of Kale and Miso Soup. She had the Soy Protein Basil with julienne vegetables and a tasty sauce.

Pros: Lots of Vegan options, Great prices, Fast service

Cons: Atmosphere. Play some music!, Two kids kept running in and out the front door..., Annoying, but.heh, it's Brooklyn!

Tasty AF

Moved to the neighborhood and this gem is down the block. All vegan! Love the teriyaki seitan, vegan bbq ribs, udon noodles. Grilled eggplant appetizer is super good. Pretty much everything. Would recommend their lunch specials, too.

Pros: All vegan, Full menu, Affordable

Cons: None

Amazing! Vegan o-chicken & ribs both a must try. Kind team!

Amazing spot! Orange chicken and “vegan BBQ ribs” are awesome- delicious and flavorful in similar ways, and very reminiscent of the Buddha Bodai versions from Manhattan. Such a kind team/family as well! They kindly added some yummy dumplings to our order on the house and their service was really speedy.

Pros: Fully vegan & lots of options, Excellent customer service

So damn good!

The orange seitan is worth a trip all the way to Bay Ridge! Absolutely delicious, and so are the other dishes.

Great vegan!!

Great vegan Chinese in Bay Ridge! Most of the plates are very good, but avoid the noodles if you’re not a bell pepper fan - they use it a lot.

Pros: Good general tso, Vegan!

Cons: A lot of bell pepper on noodles

Good food!

Can be hit or miss, but almost always good and sometimes great. I'm not a fan of their mock-shrimp but their soy protein, tofu, and seitan dishes are good. It's basically the only fully vegan restaurant in this neighborhood so I'm pretty inclined to eat there regardless! I will say that just about every vegan Asian-fusion place in Brooklyn has the same exact menu and basically identical food (i.e. this and Ginger House a few miles away, as well as LuAnne's Wild Ginger in Downtown Brooklyn), which makes it a bit boring, but always a safe bet to eat at!

Pros: Fully vegan, Fast delivery, Good food

Old standby done well

This place does the common Pan-Asian Vegan style food you see in a lot of similar places, but they do it quite well. Menu is a little inconsistent but most items are very good and not greasy. The Hot and Sour soup is divine.

The only all-vegan restaurant in this area, so we have to show it love!

Great for take-out as well.

Fantastic Asian Place

I ordered a bowl with steamed pumpkin, brown rice, black seaweed, edamame, tofu, and some spicy sauce and it was 💯!

Amazing Vegan Food! Fantastic Service. Beautiful little place.

I travel all over for work throughout the year, I live in Portland Oregon, and this is one of the best vegan restaurants I’ve ever been to. It’s in a cute little part of Brooklyn. The decor is clean and modern. Atmosphere is mellow and extremely enjoyable. The food was amazing!!! So many delicious vegan options and healthy meat substitutes. Super fresh veggies. The family that runs it were so kind and friendly. Wherever you are in the city, it’s worth the trip out!

Pros: Lots of Vegan options, Great atmosphere, Amazing service

Cons: None

A gem

They never disappoint, my family lives over here and there' s a lack of vegan options until you hit Sunset Park but this makes up for it. Everything is always delicious and always impresses my omni family. Desserts are worth saving room for!

Pros: Location, Desserts are the bomb

Cons: Service in the restaurant can be a little slow

good selection and all vegan!

Had a lunchtime special here - really good value at only $7 for the meal and miso! Food itself was ok, nothing special but handy if you are in the area.

best asian style vegan food

A model example for all vegan places. Friendly staff, service is quick, and makes eating out easier. If you don't want to to cook or want to eat out stop by here. Food looks delicious and tastes just as good as it looks.

yum

So happy this spot is in Bay Ridge! I grab dinner here whenever I'm in the area . I've tried new dishes each time & have never been disappointed. My family (non vegan) enjoyed the food as well & even request it when I'm in town :)
Always clean, super friendly & I love that they have a "rewards (stamp) card." More restaurants should do that.

Great Asian Vegan Restaurant

I order delivery from this spot at least twice a week and I always get the Mango Rolls and the Bibimbap. There aren't many vegan/vegetarian restaurants near Bensonhurst. This is definitely one of the best vegan Asian restaurants in NYC.

Great new Pan-Asian Vegan Spot

Who would have thought that Bay Ridge would ever sport a vegan restaurant? But the neighborhood is going (somewhat) upscale and with it this quite impressive spot. Well conceived dishes and a nice atmosphere. Worth traveling to.

Pros: diverse pan asian menu, friendly
