"Awesome"   My Rating

	Review: Really good food all around. Surprise foods would be the fries and the veggie-gyro really tasty and decent price and quite filling. I also recommend ordering some of the chili oil too put on everything. If you are looking for a more authentic chinese dish go with the Jian Pao eggplant but of the about 44 dishes I have had all 43 have been really good. However there has been complaints about the new Match "meats" they have been using but most of the dishes I get don't use Match products. Though it was nice too see they were aware of the vegan meat scare and fixed it even though they are working it out. Other stand out dishes: Avocado Salad (a halved avocado always good quality covered in a sweet miso dressing simply delicious) Hot and Sour soup (one of the best I have ever had) Sesame Beef with Taro Roots (I love Taro but rarely eat it outside of this dish sadly but the dish is really really really good) Kale Infinity (so I never ordered it but a family member I took there did and I tried and used the leftovers to make a fried rice and it was good all around) Crispy Eggplant (next too the Sesame Beef this is one of the top top faves so delicious) Rice Noodles with Vegetables (good thick wide noodles stir fried with vegetables great with spicy chili oil or on it's own so so so good) Mushroom Forest (If a tree falls you aren't going to hear it because you will be going MMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm) Veggie-Gyro Sandwich (ok I had too add it again because it really is off the charts good, simple sammich with their own little twist but really good and those fries are some of the best I have had) Scallion Latka (not your typical flat pancake but so good) Spinach Roll (spinach in a roll with a delicious dipping sauce super healthy and unexpected it literally is just a roll of spinach nothing else) Stuffed Yuba (stuffed with delicious and wrapped with even more delicious) Key Lime Pie (aside from my friend they make the best vegan key lime pie) Plus you also get a frequent diners card and you get 10 stamps you get $10 off and if you are like me and eat there way too much it is useful especially when you are in a group with people who don't eat there much, you can usually get the card full of stamps quickly. All in all this place is really great. Good food open till 10 (I wish it was later but 10 isn't bad) near metro and service is always great. Plus you can find some of their stuff in MD Food Co-op and MOM's and places like that if you need to grab and go!   Pros: Excellent food * Good deals and combos * Delicious Cons: not able to eat there everyday * new match "meats" aren't well seasoned * no raw options

"What a great variety!!"   My Rating
2 soulditto	Posted on: Monday, March 08, 2010
	Review: I had moo-shi vegetable, sweet and sour chicken, and sushi platter. All of them are fantastic. Their inari was very tasty and moo-shi vegetable was as good as its appearance. Sweet and sour chicken is not too sweet, you know, some places make it too sweet and you don't want to eat again after a few tries, but this was perfect. The servers are nice and friendly, but the space between the tables seems to be too narrow(especially where we sat), but I and my friend ended up having a nice conversation with a guy next to us. After the food and the conversation, my friend wants to try vegan diet. Yeeeeeah!!!!   Pros: great food * organic * big portion Cons: narrow table space * *

"Dozens of vegan options"   My Rating
4 grutz	Posted on: Thursday, December 31, 2009
	Review: The vegetable garden will please non-vegetarians, but will REALLY please vegans unaccustomed to entree choices! Try the sweet and sour delight for an unhealthy treat- or there are lots of tasty, healthy choices too! Key lime pie cheesecake and the curry pond are also delicious. Great prices for generous portions.   Pros: choices * good value * Cons: * *

"overrated"   My Rating
11 orchid53	Posted on: Tuesday, July 28, 2009
	Review: I really feel this restaurant is overrated. the food doesn't have very strong flavors and its just...meh in my opinion. I did notice that the Chinese customers seemed to have a different menu, but that of course is not written in English and i bet the food is better...if you want actual Chinese food that is. Yuan Fu is much better and is a little bit further up the Pike. they sell some prepackaged food at local health food stores...one of them had ketchup as an ingredient! This was awhile ago, so maybe its changed, but I don't want to eat at a "chinese" restaurant that uses ketchup.   Pros: healthy * * Cons: bland * very busy *

"Nice surprise"   My Rating
2 useastcoastguy	Posted on: Monday, June 30, 2008
	Review: The food tastes good, plates are filled with interesting combinations, and the service is helpful. One worry: No Chinese were in the room when I went. Maybe the dishes are too chinese-AMERICAN for Chinese tastes? But go!   Pros: * * Cons: * *

"huge menu, all vegan"   My Rating
31 khb	Posted on: Sunday, May 04, 2008
	Review: So many lovely things to choose from here. The menu is a good mix of mock-meat and all-vegetable dishes, between familiar Chinese dishes and the chef's special creations. The portions are very generous, but you'd do well to save room for a slice of pie.   Pros: selection * price * deliciousness Cons: a bit far out of town * loyalty cards only good for 3 months * and I don't come that often

"Great food for a good value"   My Rating
13 DC Vegan	Posted on: Friday, February 22, 2008
	Review: The Vegetable Garden is one of my favorite places in the DC area. When you sit down, a server brings a plate of fresh, warm bread to your table. Their Super Dinner Combo is always a good value, especially if you are torn between two entrees. You get a soup, a veggie roll (either spring roll or moo shoo cilantro roll), and half portions of two entrees. They recently added some dishes to their menu. The "Crispy Beef" is an entree portion of their Crispy Black Mushroom appetizer--sweet and crunchy. The wonton soup is light and flavorful. The Carved and Curled Shiitake Mushrooms is one of my favorite entrees. If you like mock meats, this is one of the places to go. While I've never tried them, they have a few pasta dishes and some sandwiches. Me, I'm there for the stir-fry.   Pros: pictures of food * near Metro station * Delicious food Cons: too far from my home in DC * Not enough space *

"Worth 3 1/2 trip from PA"   My Rating
4 Rurob	Posted on: Friday, January 04, 2008
	Review: Definitely worth the trip from Pennsylvania to eat Sesame Beef. Took grand daughter for her first vegan meal since she just became a vegetarian. She enjoyed the meal and atmosphere so much that she wanted to go back for lunch every day that she was in the Rockville area which was almost a week. The day we left to go back to PA, she still wanted to go eat at the Vegetable Garden. Definitely worth the time and cost.   Pros: healthy cuisine * excellent food * Cons: * *

"Excellent, light, affordable Chinese"   My Rating
93 condekedar	Posted on: Monday, May 07, 2007
	Review: The food here is excellent. It's light, freshly prepared and full of vegetables and well-spiced sauces. The mockmeats are light and tasty and have excellent texture---not too firm, not too soft. Prices are extremely reasonable and portions are large enough for leftovers. I liked the orange beef, hunan beef and chicken kung pao.   Pros: Light, fresh * Inexpensive, big portions * Service Cons: * *

"Yum!"   My Rating
9 redheadgo	Posted on: Sunday, March 04, 2007
	Review: I've been eating at the Veggie Garden since it was located in White Flint Mall. The food is absolutely delicious. House Veggie Soup is a favorite. Usually order Kung Pao Tofu or Sesame Beef. Lunch special is your best bet, good amount of food, usually under $10.   Pros: Delicious Food * Healthy * Unique flavors Cons: Location can be tricky * Price *
