Review: We have dined at Quan Yin numerous times over the years and they seem to improve all the time. This is a great place to find Vietnamese-style vegan & vegetarian dishes. Recently the vegan radio show on KPFT announced that many of Quan Yin's foods had whey in them, but when we in the past few weeks, they have a new menu to show which items are vegan and which are vegetarian. They still have half the menu which is vegan, including the Bun Chay Gia, the eggless egg rolls, the Veggie Beef Gai Lan and several others. We've always had a lot of food for the price, which helps in this ecomony! The only distraction is that sometimes the TV with Supreme Master plays too loud during the meals. It's definitely worth visiting!
Pros: numerous vegan options * friendly staff * good price
Cons: loud TV * not greatest part of town * |

Review: I've been here a few times and have always enjoyed the food. The staff could be a little friendlier, but I'm being picky. I love their egg (eggless) rolls. So delicious.
Pros: Delicious * *
Cons: * * |

Review: It seems that most vegetarian restaurants are outside of the inner loop. Why is that? They'd make a fortune if they'd just move to the Montrose area. Okay..anyway I went to this restaurant once. A non-vegetarian friend of mine talked it up for about a year before I finally dragged my car (and myself) allll the way out there. When I got there my companion and I were the only ones inside the restaurant, but since I tend to eat at "odd" times it wasn't too shocking. As we choose a table I couldn't help feeling like we weren't very welcome there. Just a vibe I got. We kept getting stares from all the people who worked at/owned the place. And ordering felt like a rushed experience since the waitress walked away from the table as I was finishing up my order. The food was okay - once again not anything that wowed me and makes me want to make the jaunt over there again (but perhaps I will..it's hard to properly review after just one visit). I remember thinking it was a little pricey for the quality. I'm also not a huge fan of mock-meats. I didn't stop eating meat so that I could eat things called 'vegan duck'. Aaand the most interesting thing was the Asian Christmas Special they had playing on the t.v. (ummm..in the middle of summer). Very surreal.
Pros: Asian Christmas T.V. Special * *
Cons: location - far drive * pricey * didn't feel welcome |

• If you don't like mock meats, I really don't think you'll ever enjoy this place. Mock meat dishes are definitely their specialty.. response by TexasVegan

Review: I've only been here twice and I can say this: the food is good. HOWEVER, the portions are a bit small for my taste (I mean, I had some sweet and sour... fish I believe and I received a plate with FOUR fish "rolls" and some sauce on top - and the food too pricey. Other than that, everything's clean, good, and yummy. The service isn't bad either.
Pros: good food * friendly staff *
Cons: small portions * too pricey * |

Review: I've been to this restuarant dozens of time and everytime the food has been excellent. However, I was told recently that not all the dishes are vegan. Some mock meats have dairy products in them. On their webpage, the say their food has, "no animal products, no eggs and no meat." It does not specify that the dishes are dairy free. Make sure and about dairy before ordering.
Pros: best food * *
Cons: possibly not 100% vegan * language barrier * |

Review: Amazing restaurant. This is the best vegan chinese food place I've ever eaten anywhere. In particular, the lobster and onions, chicken and onions and chicken fried steak are fantastic. I have tried maybe 10-12 of the entrees and the only one I found disappointing was some sort of fish type dish. Everything else was just different degrees of wonderful. That said, the service is terrible by American standards. It's a whole lot closer to European service - friendly but slow. None of that matters to me in the slightest. Quite frankly, the staff there could punch me in the face everytime I visit and I'd still be back as often as possible. The only thing that prevents me from eating there more often than I do is that it is so far away from the downtown area where I live. Oh, and they play easy listening music there and that occasionally drives me nuts.
Pros: amazing food. * Amazing Food! * AMAZING FOOD!!!!
Cons: slow service * easy listening music * inconvenient location |
