So very sad this wonderful place has closed! - Edit
Our family is heartbroken to learn this incredible restaurant closed last Thursday. We arrived on Friday to celebrate my husband's birthday and it was shuttered. The owner George and his longtime wait-staffer Wendy provided a haven that served delicious, plant-based food. We celebrated so many birthdays and anniversaries at this fantastic restaurant. May George, Wendy, their families and the other cooks and waitstaff prosper in whatever they do next. They truly provided exceptional and healthy food to our community for decades and will be dearly missed by all who grew to rely on them for lovely meals and a warm, welcoming environment.

Solid gf options - Edit
They had a separate gf menu. Service was really good, I liked the old school Asian restaurant vibe was nostalgic for sure.
Read moreWe tried the spicy California roll, the vegetable abalone dish and the tofu steak. I also had a jasmine tea. The portions were good.
Food overall was good quality. Not greasy. Flavours were OK. The tofu steak was just two blocks of silken tofu with the mushrooms and sauce on top.
Pros: Separate gf menu , All vegan

Really good food and a huge variety - Edit
This place is fantastic. Most recently we have ordered take out food - and the service is helpful and quick. The variety is huge and all of it is vegan. We love the vegetable dishes and the drummies and how nuts are incorporated in some of the dishes. The person who took our order warned us that two of our choices were very similar and gave us a recommendation for an alternative with a different flavor. We come back to this restaurant whenever we are in the area and have shared it with many friends and visitors to the area. Some do not even realize it is vegan since there are so many "mock" dishes.

Vegan Chinese-American Food - Edit
This is the best vegan chinese food option I've found in the greater DC area. Many, many vegan dishes in the style of a typical Western Chinese restaurant. Plant-based protein options have an excellent taste and texture, and although they mostly soy and gluten based, gluten-free options are available, and dishes can be made to order in numerous ways to suit most tastes and dietary requirements. The only negative I can think of is that the 50 menu options can be overwhelming for a vegan who is typically used to a short list of choices. But I have yet to be disappointed in a dish. I would especially recommend the curries, the cold sesame noodle, the vegan eel roll, and anything with the vegan chicken.

Mouth Watering - Edit
I dream about this food! Everything is vegan and absolutely delicious! There is only one dish that I would never order again here and that was the "shrimp" cocktail. I can't really speak to its flavor because the appearance looked like shrimp so much that I just couldn't do it. Everything else was absolutely amazing.

Favorite Chinese food in the DMV - Edit
100% vegan. This is my first stop every time I come to town. They offer an extensive menu full of Chinese appetizers and entrees as well as sushi and desserts. Favorites are curry supreme, Peking duck, and Mongolian beef. I’ve never been disappointed. If you can make it down Georgia Ave, Maryland-side - GO!

So many options... - Edit
I got the super dinner combo: One spring roll, one miso soup 2 entrees (rice noodles with vegetables & general tso's chicken). Of course, everything there is vegan. It was delicious and I did not feel like I was missing anything. The miso soup had tofu, the spring roll had just vegetables, the rice noodles had just vegetables and amazing flavors, and the general tso's mock chicken was delicious and surprisingly had on-point texture. Came with brown rice on the side as well as broccoli with the sauce. My friend got the Soba noodles with vegetables. It was pricey as most vegan places are, but definitely worth it in the end. Mine was $18.99 (worth it!!!) Hers was $12.99 (not to worth it!!!) For her price, she could have added $5 and got as much food as me.

A solid place for vegans - Edit
I have friends who make the pilgrimage to VG when they are back in the area. We literally get take out from this place weekly. Unassuming atmosphere, completely vegan. You can relax here. The dessert case is amazing and you can even order a whole cake for special occasions if you get your order in a week in advance.

Good restaurant - Edit
Years ago, this restaurant deserved 10 stars. From enthusiastic owners and chefs, to a super menu and total attention to detail. The original owners eventually retired, the original chef went elsewhere and the restaurant moved location from its charming Rockville location. I do understand that change and new ownership is sometimes daunting. The new version of Vegetable Garden is by no means bad. It does have tasty dishes and a great vegan menu. I just miss the spark, energy, and commitment of the original. Then, it was a happening, and a lifestyle experience. Now it is a business. Yes, it is a good business, but the spark and spontaneity is not there. The food is good, the service ranges from per-functionary to cold. The prices have gone way up. It is now more like a franchise establishment with cookie cutter elements. I would love to see George go back to the original ideals and spark of Vegetable Garden. This restaurant will always retain a soft spot in my heart, as I ate there for so many years.

We went there for lunch while visiting local relatives. We went again for lunch the very next day. I'm not a vegan (or a vegetarian) and I thought the food was absolutely delicious! Get the Udon noodles & vegetables.
