Oyster sauce in the “vegetarian” dishes - Edit
I was excited to see that this restaurant had a vegetarian section on their menu. When I placed my order online, I specified that everything needed to be vegan, and I explained that meant no eggs, chicken broth, oyster sauce, or other animal products. To their credit, the restaurant called me on the phone and told me that several of their vegetarian dishes actually contain oyster sauce. I told them that oyster sauce is not vegan or vegetarian. They claimed that oysters are vegetarian because they come from the sea. They are not from the land, like chickens. But they said that they could make my order without oyster sauce if I wanted, so I said ok. When I went to pick up my food, they reiterated that any time I want to place an order, I can just tell them that I don’t want oyster sauce. I again said that oyster sauce is not Vegetarian, and the items on the vegetarian menu should not have oysters in them. She said that it’s only a spoonful or two of oyster sauce in some of the “vegetarian” dishes.
Read moreI am doubtful that they will change the menu or change their “vegetarian” recipes because she kept saying it was just a tiny bit, and oysters are vegetarian.
And then she tried to offer me the free crunchy chow mein noodles. I asked if they have eggs in them, and she said yes, eggs and flour. I told her that vegans do not eat eggs because they are an animal product. Then she asked me if vegans eat flour. I said yes, flour is fine. She then told me that they have gluten-free options, and I told her that was nice.
The dishes we got - General Tso’s “chicken” and “chicken” & broccoli were delicious. They used two different kinds of faux chicken in the different dishes and they were both delicious. We also ordered avocado sushi which was ok - I would’ve preferred sushi rice that is more seasoned (more vinegar, sugar, & salt) but it was ok.
I would order here again. I felt that even though they didn’t understand about oysters, they are willing to adjust recipes to make the customer happy.
If this restaurant were in a large city, I would bump them down to 2 stars. But since they are in the suburbs and there are not many vegan options available, I’m giving them 3 stars.
Pros: Vegan “chicken”, Nice decor, Good customer service
Cons: Oyster sauce , Don’t understand “vegan” or “vegetarian” , You have to explain “vegan”

decent food - Edit
Last time I ventured to Szechuan Tokyo, I saw that there was only 4 meat-free options. The food is okay but lacking in realistic texture and the flavor is heavily relied on the sauces which I find to be a little sweet. It's been a while since I've gone so you should order and try for yourself. Appreciate the effort and although the food was okay, I'm only giving 2.
