Their soy drumsticks yo - Edit
It's a shame that they are closed, I really enjoyed their drumsticks, so tasty. We had it in a mixed platter format so that there was 2 other battered goodies: the sweet potato ones were so soft and yummy. Don't remember the other thing though.
Read moreHad a plate of udon with veggies as well as a rice, green beans and "pork" strips. They all taste legit, like Hong Kong food; definitely the taste that I have been missing since becoming vegan.
Big portions, definitely made for sharing.
Pros: Portions are generous, Tastes like childhood

Will Never Go Back - Edit
I had the misfortune of eating here and while I’m not one to quickly give a bad review, the food was terrible, served luke warm, and thoughtlessly prepared. We ate at 6 pm and we’re the only diners in the place - that indicator was overlooked and we should have gone elsewhere. We ordered Wonton soup, noodles and veggies with tofu, and sweet and sour “pork”. The wontons were tough and chewy and the two dishes arrived warm at best and looked like they’d been left over from the lunch serving. To boot, it was a whopping $47 Cdn. Spend your vegan dollars elsewhere as there are ample better options in Vancouver where the food is more thoughtfully prepared.

Truly terrible service - Edit
This is a tiny restaurant with sad ambiance and worse service. They have a very limited wine/beer selection. We had wings (recommended by the server) and three kinds of dim sum. It was ok, but I wouldn't go back or recommend it.

the answer to my dim sum prayers - Edit
Growing up in Sydney, I have come to love Yum Cha and going vegan meant that was somewhat off the menu. Finding this place has allowed me to indulge my yum cha cravings. So delish, super reasonably priced too!

My fav restaurant in Vancouver BC - Edit
I love this place.
Read moreThe food is excellent, freshly made.
The "chicken" on a stick is just AMAZING. I have taken many non veggie friends and they all were in awe!
The owner was very accommodating, one item on the menu was all gone and he made a batch for me.
I go very often and take home some take-outs and they freeze very well.
Pros: All vegan, Wonderful Dim-Sum, Fresh
Cons: none

Good but pricey - Edit
The first time we went there, the price corresponded well to the portion size. However, when we visited the restaurant recently, we noticed that while the prices increased, the portions got smaller in size.
Read moreNevertheless, the food is very good, especially the drumsticks. As for mains, I usually go for anything that has eggplant and so far I was not disappointed.
People who run this place are always nice.
I wish they did a bit of facelift on the place.

Best Veggie Dim Sum in Vancouver? - Edit
I love dim sum and frankly all the dim sum offerings all over Vancouver. It's really hard to choose a favourite but this might just well be it. You need to go with a group to sample a big variety of items. What a great way to enjoy brunch on a weekend! Meatless Meetup will be there with a group for dim sum as soon as 3G gives us the green light!
Read morePros: Great variety of dim sum items. , Great location. , Friendly staff.
Cons: Items are large and need to be shared with a group

Worst Experience Ever - Edit
SO I love supporting Vegan restaurants and I feel so bad for my experience here.
Read moreI came in by myself and ordered udon. The contents of my Udon dish consisted of hot flavourless water, under cooked udon noodles a half of a tomato and a small piece of mushroom- that was all! I have up loaded a picture here to show you. The dish was only $7.50 and on the menu looked very tasty. It was nothing like the picture and when I asked the waitress about this in broken English replied Udon- its Udon. I wont go into all the details but she was extremely rude as was another Chinese man that came over. I felt horrible and ashamed as they were so rude and even told me to call the police if I didnt like it! 0 stars for service

It's not the worst. - Edit
Most of my friends like this place because they have alcohol. But the food is so so. There are far better places to eat at in Vancouver, but if you are eating here get the drum sticks. They are dope.
Read morePros: fast, alcohol
Cons: not the best food.

NO NO NO - Edit
If you want greasy fake food then this is your place! Processed, fried "meat" products? I'm sorry, vegans deserve better! There is great vegan options in Vancouver, don't waste time or money at this one.

Great Chinese vegetarian food - Edit
We have travelled the world and enjoyed many vegetarian meals. I personally enjoy the Chinese style fake meat dishes, especially sweet and sour pork. This restaurant had one of the best sweet and sour chicken dishes I have tasted. The fake meat was perfectly cooked, battered but not doughy, chewy and not soggy. The sweet and sour sauce was not overdone and not too sickly sweet or overbearing. We also ordered the vegetables with lotus root and Japanese yam. Cooked to perfection and delicious sauce. The only disappointment was the hot and sour soup with noodles.

I can eat dim sum again! - Edit
Now that I have become a vegetarian, going to dim sum is not the same anymore. I can only eat 1 or 2 dishes at normal dim sum places... after strategically picking out all the meat pieces.
Read moreI tried 3G out last week. The food is alright, it's passable for dim sum. I ordered the BBQ Pork Bun, which is pretty good. I remember I also ordered the 'pork' siu mai... which I did not think was very good - it was just mushrooms and water chestnuts, it was too mushy.
This place is ok... but I feel I need to find a better place for vegetarian dim sum that my parents would approve of.

Don't Eat Here! - Edit
I wanted to try this place and took my family there for my birthday. The menu is all fake meat which I personally detest and when I asked if any dishes were gluten free the staff didn't know if it was or not. I think they should know whether or not their food contains certain ingredients, no? We went ahead and ordered the dishes that the server said were soy based "meats" and it was gross. Everyone got the runs after eating there. I have a feeling their kitchen is not very clean. Definitely wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

Great choice for newbie Veg heads and wannabes too - Edit
I found this restaurant on this website and thought I would try it out because of the great reviews. Let me just say that everyone was right! Those drumsticks were amazing! They give you so much and it eerily tasted (and texture-wise felt like) pork! I actually had to stop eating them because of that ha ha ha but my brother--in-law (not veggy) LOVED them and said it would be perfect for anyone trying out veg-life. I also tried the "ribs", which again were eerily-like the real thing but tasted amazing. I loved the cozy, homestyle character of the restaurant. I still can't believe that EVERYTHING on that menu was vegan! I asked a few times just to make sure he he. I can't wait to eat there again and bring all my meat-head friends along :) Highly recommended!
Read morePros: Delicious food - everything is vegan, Great value for great portions, Comfy atmosphere and friendly staff

Worth Going for the Dim Sum - Edit
I recently tried 3G while visiting Vancouver, as I have never had vegan dim sum. There are so many dim sum options, it was hard to choose, and this restaurant is worth trying to sample some new things. Some dim sum we tried were quite good, and some were so-so. I was nervous about the shrimp dumplings, but was pleasantly surprised to find I really liked them. I also thought the bbq pork bun was quite good. I did not really care for the steamed bean curd roll, and the chicken with ginger bun was okay but nothing special. In addition to dim sum, we sampled the lunch sweet and sour chicken, which was very good. I think if I went back I would try a couple more dim sum, but get less of that and more of the other dishes. I think it is different at dinner, but for lunch they give smaller, less expensive portions for even the non dim-sum dishes so multiple items can be tried and shared. This is a great way to try new things. The service was very good as well.
Read morePros: Large vegan dim sum menu, Small inexpensive portions for sampling

fantastic! - Edit
It's a real treat for a vegan to be able to partake in dim sum which is traditionally so meat oriented. Everything on then menu we tried was awesome. And their 'drumsticks' need to be tried by everyone. Very innovative. :)
