decent but not amazing - Edit
i tried vegi wokery for the first time and ordered the pork ribs, fried rice, and a cupcake. the pork ribs were battered and fried fake meat, good flavor but not amazing. the fried rice did not have enough flavor. i ordered a lemon cupcake to go but discovered it was banana when i got home. i am not a fan of banana and was disappointed. overall, the menu seems like average asian vegan food- i'll give it another try at some point but won't expect the best vegan meal of my life.

Cons: mistake with order

Chinese/Taiwanese - Edit
I had read about this place on happycow, and here's my Vegi Wokery review.
Read moreMy favorite dish from this restaurant is the sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaves - it's a Taiwanese specialty food. You have to ask for it, and sometimes they have it for takeaway frozen. I've eaten so many of them!
The food at Vegi Wokery is generally pretty good. My family enjoys it.
Pros: friendly owners

VEGAN CUPCAKES! - Edit
What more do you need? ;) But seriously, this place is awesome. The employees are totally nice. Super sweet. I wanted to hug her! The food is just as amazing. I got the vegetarian orange meat (vegan) and it is really good. I also got a chocolate vegan cupcake and coconut vegan cupcake. Amazing. Seriously, I am so excited that I found this place. I will be back. I will also have leftovers all weekend. They give you a good amount of food, but also just because the food is so good I want it to last. ^_^

Wonderful Chinese Vegan Food with incredible staff - Edit
We were out and about and used our Veg'n Out App to find some nearby vegan food and Vegi Wokery came up. We found it in a nice strip mall area. The food is Chinese with most things stir fried. We are on the oil free McDougall Diet and the chef and server(owner I think) we extremely kind. They recommended a few dishes they could do w/o oil and we FEASTED on this amazing rice noodle cabbage dish seasoned with a little soy sauce and red pepper and added extra veggies on top. It was a huge portion and so good! They have VegNews copies for you to read and are so polite and friendly. I'd eat hear weekly if I lived closer!

Real Vegan Chinese Food! A must try... - Edit
Vegi Wokery is in their 14th year in the same location. It is one of the last TRUE vegan Chinese Restaurants around. (Ones that check up on their suppliers to confirm that their products are truly VEGAN. In fact they tested their "chicken" product at an independent food lab to confirm it had no poultry or milk products.) You can eat the "veggie meats" you shun elsewhere with confidence here.
Read moreThey are always coming up with in-house made items that are unusual and delicious. Their newest offering are handmade Vegan BBQ PORK STEAMED BUNS (CHA-SIU-BAO) and Steamed Bao filled with CHINESE MUSTARD GREENS.
I have lots of favorites here, but usually I recommend the orange chicken for newbies. (Fried, sweet, tastes like the real stuff from Panda Express, etc.) I personally like some of the homemade stuff like the crispy eel, fish with basil in brown sauce, sliced bbq pork, dim-sum su-mai, etc.
They have over 100 items on their menu, and like the last reviewer said, yes they have VEGAN CUPCAKES for dessert!!!
(They have a good fried banana dessert too.)
Also, as stated in other reviews they ONLY TAKE CASH, but this is not a problem as the prices are super reasonable, and there is a credit union atm about 150 feet down the strip mall (near Chuck-E-Cheese). There are also ATMs for Bank of America, Union Bank, and Wells Fargo around the corner on Gridley Rd. If they had credit cards, the prices would be higher for sure. I'll happily bring cash.
Oh, and they have a website that has a MONTHLY COUPON these days. Print it out and you need even less cash with you!
If you feel like you had a bad meal here, you need to try a different dish (with different meat/sauce/veggies) to give it a fair shot. I have had a few things I did not really love (like the homemade squid), but I've had friends rave about it, so I think it's all about personal taste.
Pros: VEGAN, HOMEMADE FOOD, 100+ DISHES
Cons: CASH ONLY, CLOSED ON SUNDAY, 10 TABLES ONLY

Good food & they carry vegan cupcakes! - Edit
Stopped by for an impromptu lunch a few weeks ago. Thought I'd written a review, but I guess not so I'll try to remember what I had. ;)
Read moreRestaurant was well crowded for lunchtime but I was seated and served in a friendly, timely manner. This is your typical Asian restaurant with typical Asian menu. I think I ordered veggie stir fry or something and brown rice and had a steamed bun. All was very fresh and delicious.
Must admit that one reason I dropped in was because I learned they carry cupcakes from Luscious Organics which I've been dying to try. Even though the cupcakes were dropped off on Monday/Tuesday there were still a few leftover which were fresh & moist & yummy. I opted for the chocolate cupcake which blew me away.
As previous posters have stated this restaurant takes cash only but isn't too pricey so that shouldn't be an issue. Was a nice touch to see copies of VegNews and various vegan-friendly magazines on the front counter. :)
Staff was polite, friendly, and efficient. Food was fresh and yummy. Brown rice was exceptional. And they serve Luscious Organics vegan cupcakes so bonus points!! :)
Pros: Friendly staff, Affordable, Vegan Cupcakes!
Cons: Cash only

I love Vegi Wokery, I eat there regularly, and the people are so nice. The restaurant is completely Vegan, contrary to what was said by someone, they even catered my wedding. My favorites are the Chicken Drumsticks and the Vegetable Casserole, so tasty.

GREAT!! - Edit
This place is awesome, ive been coming here for about 2 years now and ive brought a ton of friends and family to eat here and they all agree that the food is outstanding...and all of them are meat eaters. The ladies that run this place are soooo sweet and the environment is peaceful and relaxing. Then you come to the food and its soooo awesome. Im going to keep coming back again and again, even if you try it once you'll admit that the food here is very good.
