FANTASTIC - Edit
Love this restaurant. Great lunch specials! Food never disappoints and even my nonvegan friends love it. Food can be a bit oily so if this is an issue for you then stick to salads and sushi which are also awesome.

Consistently delicious Chinese food. Service is lightning fast. Food is always fresh and tasty. I am partial to the mock chicken dishes. And the barbecue ribs are also fantastic.

The OG Vegan restaurant - Edit
This place has been plant based for as long as I can remember! They have multiple locations all over NJ, but I usually go to the Montclair or Parsippany restaurants. Their food is always made to perfection, and everything on the menu is so so so good. My family and I get the lo mein, one of the tofu main dishes, general Tso’s tofu, and a vegan dessert. If you go over the weekend then it’ll be pretty packed, but trust me, the wait is worth it!

Might serve milk?? Food was okay. Some stale. Might serve milk?? - Edit
The server told me that the taro bubble tea had milk in it and i asked her what kind like soy almond coconut what? She said no no no regular, like powder. We couldn’t really understand each other well about this. Unclear if it’s cows milk powder or what. The other food was okay. Brown rice was old, dry. Duck dish had two different proteins and the one in the center was like strange paper strings and the sauce had no flavor. The eggplant delight with chickn had baby bok choy that had literal dirt on the outside. I’ve been here before (last year) and enjoyed it and been to one of the other locations and enjoyed that but this was not a great experience. Unsure if I’ll return.

Wow, thank you for the warning. I am looking for someplace for a family gathering and need it to impress. This place is certainly not going to fit that bill, but to also learn that they are using products that harm others is infuriating.

AMAZING - Edit
I can’t believe this place is vegan. Their carrot cake was airy and light and full of flavor. Their Thai green curry was perfection - just the right amount of salt & balance of veggies with sauce & seitan. I will come here again & totallly recommend it to all my friends (vegan or not!)

One of the best vegan Chinese spots - Edit
Pretty sure this was the first vegan Asian place I’d ever eaten at way back in the day as a baby vegan. Glad it’s still around and serving up such amazing food. Virtually every dish you could imagine seeing at a conventional restaurant is veganized here, even shark fin soup! The environment is very nice and the servers are friendly and fast, sometimes eccentric. I think I may have saw honey on the menu?

Very tasty - Edit
I'm not sure if everything I've had was fully vegan, but at least it was vegetarian 😭.
Read moreMy partner got the dumplings and they were good, again unsure if vegan.
The broccoli in garlic sauce??? Y'all. That was good af. I'd definitely have it again. The tofu was okayish. Not spice although mentioned. Idk. The broccoli tho I'd come back for that for sure.

Not sure if entirely vegan - Edit
I’ve eaten here multiple times. I’m not sure if it’s entirely vegan. Someone in the reviews here was saying they use dairy in some of their drinks. I saw honey on the menu. I don’t know if it’s real or faux honey, the staff gets really agitated and angry when I ask questions, they do not seem to understand what “vegan” means. I asked if the eggplant dish had fish sauce etc and if the dumplings had eggs, and was told angrily “no, this place is vegetarian”. Lol.
Read moreThe food is nothing out of this world, and I’m not a super picky eater at all…Most of the things I’ve tried were “meh”, but the eggplant with garlic sauce was the only dish I’ve ordered several times and it was consistently awesome - very flavorful and fresh looking/tasting.
Their mocked meats are not the best in my opinion - I don’t mind since more realistic tasting meats creep me out but if you’re trying to impress a carnist, they won’t be impressed.
The soup was awful, pretty much some flavorless noodles with flavorless veg in hot water. The dumplings were not good either, the dough was very dry and very thick at the seams.
The restaurant is quite big, it was never crowded when I was there. There is a clean bathroom. Overall, it has been the only fully(?) vegan option in the area for a while now, so I am very thankful for that and will go again when I’m craving Asian food but don’t want to go to the city to my fav vegan spots. Also prices are quite cheap for the area, so that’s good.

There are three veggie heaven located in nj, two of them are actually family business, it’s two brothers that were raised vegan(without egg without dairy) and each of the brother owns and open their own vegan restaurant around the neighborhood, the younger brother just sold his store lately, I think this one is the two floor one and a very big corner store you went, this one is own by the elder brother and they are Buddhism influenced restaurant, for Buddhism, they do not killed and aim on decreased the suffering of animals as much as they can, most of the workers there are not vegan, so they might have temper because it’s like a temple, you can set the rules that no animal products in the store, but you can’t force the worker continue eating vegan when they go home, if you know the language you can talk straight to the Taiwan owner, the owner and his wife still continuously help and promote veganism. For old school Buddhism , the first steps you want to be a Buddhism you have to be vegan, but it won’t make money in that way as a religion, so nowadays there are carnivore Buddhism out there. This store they do not serve eggs or dairy, they might not know honey is not vegan , but if you talk to the owner she’s very friendly and open minded to learn

Ohh that’s interesting. I didn’t know there are three locations, I’ve only been to the Montclair one and knew there is a second one somewhere. And it’s interesting about Buddhism. The Buddhists I know in real life are far from being vegan or even vegetarian, I never understood why they are hypocritical like that 😆
Read moreBut someone in the reviews was saying they had an allergic reaction and it turned out they put dairy in her bubble tea or something 🥲 I don’t if I’ve ever met the owner, just the waiters I think and they’re all so grumpy when I ask questions haha.
Ameisherry
Yea there are three locations, but only two of them were associated , the third one just happened to be the same name, but the younger brother already sold his store so the biggest store is the only one remain, and yeah none of the workers are vegan that’s why they are not friendly, I never order their tea so I’m not sure, I ordered the fresh made watermelon juice before, but need to tell them that don’t add additional sugar, I’m not sure why they add sugar in the fresh made watermelon juice but have to tell them in advance or they automatically add extra sugar.

Big menu, tasty food, carnivore friends loved it - Edit
I haven't been to the actual restaurant so I can't speak to the ambiance or service, but me and a group of friends ordered takeout from here and everyone enjoyed their food! We ordered a little bit of everything and it was all fantastic. The price was actually quite reasonable too, we basically ordered a feast and it came out to like $12 per person for a group of 5. If I lived here I would eat here ALL the time!
Read morePros: Delicious food that meat eaters enjoy too, All vegan menu with tons of options, Very reasonable prices

Wonderful Staff and Food - Edit
I order so much from veggie heaven that they already know my food allergies by heart. Like, seriously, they list them to me. If I dont order for a couple of weeks, the dude's like "How've you been my friend? Long time." This is a family style restaurant. Lots of variety. I've been here over 100 times I am sure. My favorite dishes are the kale quinoa salad, the mango chicken, and the okra chicken. I mean I order here so often coz the staff is so great and the food is so good that I think I've had everything on the menu. Tofu dishes. Veggie dishes. Mock meat dishes of all varieties - they got it. They also give out flowers to moms on mother's day. Delivery guy is a very sweet older man. I feel like family at this spot and they are good to their customers. Also - I appreciate that one time I ordered too much and the waiter was like nah...that's enough food for you two...me and my kid...LoLoL. It's a great atmosphere. 100% recommend.

Delicious dishes but TARO TEA HAS MILK PROTEIN - Edit
I love the roast pork lo mein and beef and broccoli. Their food is top notch! I hardly order out, but I decided to try some bubble tea the other day. I assumed that everything in this restaurant was vegan. I drank the tea without thinking twice (big mistake). A while later, my eyes were swollen and itchy and I had no idea what it could be. When I called them, they said they use Coffee Mate creamer in their taro tea!!! I was so shocked. Thankfully my allergic reaction wasn’t that bad, but I thought it would be best if I warned you all. He assured me that every other tea is vegan, but it might still be good to double check. Otherwise, the food is amazing!

R.I.P. to Your Expectations - Edit
This place is absolutely fantastic, I’ve been multiple times over the years and theres still so much to try. Its actually overwhelming how many options they have available on their menu, its very extensive.
Read moreThe restaurant has vegetarian advertising but every time I go, i ask and its clarified to me that it is in fact all vegan, somehow though they don’t have the word ‘vegan’ anywhere on their menu/storefront/signs.
The price is actually so affordable, we go and order like kings because there’s just soo much to choose from with so little the price. And it really truly is all delicious! They have mock meats of every kind, soups, entrees, appetizers. I really like their dumplings and a few of their entrees I honestly don’t remember the name of. No matter what you order however you’re in for a treat, this place is a delight. Even a few desserts but i never have room after going to town on their menu!
Try it out!
Pros: Tons and Tons of Options, Cheap Prices!, Gluten-Free Accommodations

My favorite of the Veggie Heavens - Edit
Of the three Veggie Heavens in NJ, this is my favorite. Each have hits and misses on the menu.
Read moreHere, I like the
hot and sour soup (more tangy flavor than Denville's which isn't great)
Cold sesame noodles
Lo mein
Moo shu
Wonton soup
Tofu szechuan style
And a few other things, but I generally stick with favorites rather than trying new entrees. I try to go during lunch hours so I can order a variety of different items at a lower price.
I don't care for the chicken entrees that consist of the sliced vegan chicken. I wish they had more dim sum choices. Other than that, I wish I lived closer. I prefer this Veggie Heaven as well as Veggie Heaven Denville over the two remaining vegetarian Chinese restaurants in Philadelphia.
Pros: Lots of vegan choices, Good prices, Soup!
Cons: There are a few items that aren't executed well
