"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
3 useastcoas tguy	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
33 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
11 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
3 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
98 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 *
