Review: As a vegetarian, I am always thrilled to find a restaurant with veg choices on the menu. This restaurant has an ENTIRE PAGE of veg choices! We ALWAYS order the Pepper Salt Tofu, the Eggplant with Black Bean Sauce and the Vegetarian Fried Rice. We also enjoy the Green Beans and the vegetarian noodle dishes. As mentioned in previous reviews, the surroundings are not the nicest... old dinette style tables and chairs, small, crowded room but the crowds of people who eat here obviously come for the food, not the decor!
Pros: Veg Food * Delicious Food * Choices
Cons: Decor * * |

Review: This restaurant would be much better off if they pared down their menu. Not only does their menu of hundreds of items leave the diners bewildered, but you have to go with a frequent diner or have some kind of special insight to sort through the menu to find something delicious. Much of it seems like the same dish with a slightly different sauce.
They offer a variety of Asian cuisines instead of picking the few they are good at and focusing on them. The food doesn't taste or look like high quality food.
The dining room is cramped and rather dingy. When I do get food from here, I opt for take-out.
Pros: Location * Price *
Cons: Extensive, bewildering menu * Dining room is dingy/crowded * |

Review: I have mixed feelings about this place. On one hand, there are a few dishes that I am completely addicted to, it's really affordable, and the owner is really nice. On the other hand, I've had a few dodgy experiences there. But these were not the norm, thankfully. The Wu Se vegetable is really excellent, as is the vegetarian pad thai, the salt & pepper tofu (which is kinda like popcorn chicken style tofu?) and the eggplant in black bean sauce is amazing. And if you catch them on a night when they aren't busy, you can ask if they can make you fried bananas - a delicious dessert specialty. SO GOOD! They really are very veg friendly. So, despite a bit of sketchiness sometimes, plus the inevitable post-Chinese food tummyache (that I would get anywhere), I continue to go back.
Pros: some seriously amazing dishes * TONS of vegan options * Inexpensive
Cons: the occasional sketchy stuff * * |

Review: Both times that I ate here I went home with a really bad tummy ache. I had the Eggplant with tofu cheese and the broccoli with ginger and garlic sauce. Although both were delicious, it most definitely wasn't worth the tummy ache afterwards!! I will not be returning to this one :(
Pros: Delicious * Great selection *
Cons: Dirty atmosphere * Bad tummy ache * |

Pros: Yummy * Vegan (many dishes available) * Very quick (it was ready very fast)
Cons: Some dishes lack in flavour (just a bit) * Some dishes are rather pricey * |

Review: We have truly given So Good a good try, but there was old dried food on the wall (that sealed the deal for any future returns). When I graciously reqested its removal I was rebuffed.
Felt ill after eating there.
Pros: downtown * *
Cons: not clean * rude staff * horrid food |
