locked doors at dinner time

Happy Cow wont let me rate lower than 2 stars even if the place doesnt even exist. What a joke. I did my research while travelling from Panama City and was super excited to eat a veggie place in David especially since they claim to not use onion or garlic. I have an intolerance to Alliums. Just like so many other times, I walked all the way to the restaurant to find locked doors and little signage about the state of the place. There was a sign on the door advertising breakfast but I would imagine that an Asian restaurant would do more than breakfast. Anyway don't go here if you want to actually eat food.

Sorry, but i cannot confirm your saying....we are going there once a week since 6 months for breakfast or lunch and i must say is one of the best vegan/vegetarian options in David! Everything is fresh made like buffet; price really cheap (0,75usd/ portion - so for 3usd you get one good compleate dish) and delicious dishes.
Just the menue is not changing at all so fare...

Tasty & affordable

You can choose from the buffet which offers a large variety of veggies, fried items, soy meals and rice and noodles. Every dish / side / item is only 0,75$! So you can eat a huge plate without spending a fortune. ;-)
I had noodles, broccoli, eggplant and soy chunks; my friend had springrolls, fried veggie balls, slightly sweet cucumber salad, green beans and soy. Everything was fresh and tasty!
Be aware that it's not a fine dining restaurant, more a snack stand and I think it closes after lunch.

Great Vegan/Veg Chinese Food

We live in the area, and with not many veg restaurants to choose from, eat here about once a month and always come out happy. This is not a luxurious place, but it has a special romance about it and for those of us who love Chinese food, it is unique. There are a few items with eggs, but most everything is vegan, and just saying "Yo no como huevos" will insure you will only be served only items with vegetables/beans/grains.
You can get just veggies and rice, but we indulge in the fried food. As it is a buffet, you can point and ask about what you see. We usually have spring rolls, and cabbage balls, sweet potato patties, along with a medley of peppers, tofu, and a cucumber tomato salad. (All for under $4.)
Although open for breakfast, it is really a lunch restaurant, and when most of the items are gone, lunch is over! So best to get there by noon.
DIRECTIONS: If you are on the main square in David with your back to the Church, walk straight and at the end of the park turn right - go one block and turn left. About 6 shops down, the restaurant, with a green front, will be just past the shoe repair shop on your left.

Pros: Vegan Chinese in David!, Friendly, Clean

Cons: No Champagne, No Fortune Cookies, No Pistachio Ice Cream

Great Find

Not fancy and informal. Quite busy at lunchtime. Go at 11am to noon.

Pros: Mostly vegan options. Very inexpensive.

Cons: If going in mid to late afternoon, most items gone

Best vegan/vegetarian place in David

Realy easy going buffet restaurant for vegetarian and vegan kitchen. not really charming atmosphere but delicious, fresh and healty food, served and cooked from the lovely and super friendly owner. For drinking just ice tea, linaza or water, no alcohol.
Prices are really reasonable, around 0.75usd por portion, so you can eat for 3usd. Just go and enjoy. NO luxury - no romantic, just healty ;-)
