"Wonderful!"   My Rating

	Review: I have never liked Chinese food. Every experience in this town has been a big ol' pile o' bland and greasy. Since discovering Guilin, it's my new go-to restaurant. I find myself craving their food all the time. Their menu is divided into 3 parts omni, veggie, and vegan. The stuff on the vegan menu is fake meat products. The stuff on the vegetarian menu features tofu and vegetable dishes which are generally vegan as well--make sure to ask, though! My absolute favorite dish is the fresh tofu skins with Chinese greens. It's spicy and delicious and amazing and SDKFJ;ASJFA I LOVE IT! Then there's the fake chicken dishes. Their fake chicken is really good--best I've ever had thus far in my life. I especially like it in the Mongolian Veggie Chicken dish. Yum yum yum. A recent adventurous evening, I allowed myself to try the Vegetarian Fish Fillet in Black Bean Sauce. Um, WHAT!? This thing was a bunch of little fake "meat" rectangles topped with nori to give it that "fishy" flavor. It was strangely delicious. A few misses were the eggplant dish (mushy pile of mush) and the fake beef. It's not that the beef isn't tasty...it's just not as tasty as the chicken. Plus, it looks really real...kinda freaked me out and took me a while to actually eat it. Oh, the iced green tea. Yeah...just avoid that at all costs. The actual restaurant is super casual, like most of Tucson. It is family run and I have been cashed out by small children a few times. Pretty cute. Service is generally friendly if occasionally aloof during busy times. It gets really busy around lunch because HELLO FIVE DOLLAR LUNCH SPECIAL! I LOVE YOU! Their prices are VERY reasonable. Tofu and veggie dishes are 6-10 dollars. Veggie meat dishes are 7-15 dollars with the veggie fish and shrimp costing a bit more than the veggie beef and chicken. Really really great place. My current favorite restaurant.   Pros: inexpensive * delicious * local Cons: iced green tea * iced green tea * iced green tea

"Consistently good service and flavor"   My Rating

	Review: This restaurant was highly recommended by a friend of mine. They have a large vegan and vegetarian section on their menu plus they are willing to make anything vegan they can upon request. They also offer brown rice substitution which more people should take advantage of. Great option for veggie/omni dining if you find yourself having to do that. The service is normally very fast and the price is $4.95-5.95 for all veg lunch specials.   Pros: Price * Location (Speedway & Country Club) * Taste Cons: * *

"Get your Chinese food fix"   My Rating
7 Erin A.	Posted on: Wednesday, June 03, 2009
	Review: Guilin is good Chinese food that reminds me of what I used to eat before becoming vegan, but way healthier and tastier! My favorites are the Mongolian "beef" and "chicken" drumsticks. Their menu clearly states what has meat, what is vegetarian, and what is vegan so that's always a plus.   Pros: variety * tasty * Cons: * *

"Lots of options on the menu"   My Rating
2 lynvan	Posted on: Thursday, December 25, 2008
	Review: OK, Yes this restaurant is a real find for vegan and vegetarian alike. But what I ordered wasn't terrific. I got the sweet and sour vegetable "chicken" The "chicken" was good but the sweet and sour sauce was too sweet and not too good. But my husband got the curry tofu and vegetables and his was great. Lots of options here! I would go again, but try something else. The staff is very friendly!   Pros: healthy * many choices * friendly staff Cons: not super clean * not a warm atmosphere *

9 TucsonxRob	Posted on: Friday, January 25, 2008
	Review: they have tons of vegan options and they are clearly marked on the menu. i eat here regularly and the staff has always been very friendly and helpful. They have a just as many non-vegan options as well, making a great spot to go with your non-veggie friends.   Pros: great food * great service * Cons: * *

"Yum Food!"   My Rating
2 NicandJosi eRock	Posted on: Thursday, December 13, 2007
	Review: Seriously, if your ever in the area, go here. We are so jealous of people that live by this place. It's nice to be able to go to a resturant and not get stuck with a salad and french fries. It kind of reminded us of Denny's, cause it's so laid back and comfortable. Some of the best Chinese food we've ever had!   Pros: super nice * great food and selection * comfortable casual atmosphere Cons: its in Tucson and we are in Calif * *

"Good Food - Vegan Options"   My Rating
5 BrienneAmb er	Posted on: Monday, November 27, 2006
	Review: This is a nice place, with friendly, helpful service. The menu has 3 parts: vegan-meats, vegetarian items, and other. Much of the vegetarian stuff is also vegan, but make sure to ask. Most fried appetizers have egg batter. Food is very tasty. I recommend the vegetable noodles and curry tofu.   Pros: Good Food * Helpful Staff * Vegan Menu Cons: Not 100% Veg * *
