amazing dim sum

really good vegan dim sum, highly recommend the steamed vegetable bun and the spinach rolls. the mains are pretty good too. if i came back id probably only order from the dim sum menu, as i liked them better.

Wowwwww vegan Chinese food that’s next level

Highly recommend this place. The best veggie dumplings and steamed buns I’ve had! All vegan! So so busy! All tables taken. Makes me so happy to see! I wanted to try so much more but didn’t have the stomach space for it! The staff are lovely too!

Cheap Cheerful Dim Sum

Possibly one of the least expensive vegan eateries in NYC, the dim sum is great; the lunch specials not so much, but good for an inexpensive lunchtime filler.

Pros: Vegan dim sum 😛, Inexpensive , Friendly service

Cons: Lunch meals not so tasty, but very cheap, Diners packed in

This is the best place for Chinese in New York City

I’ve been here many many times. It’s my wife’s favorite place in New York City. They have a very large varied menu with lots and lots of options. The service is fast and friendly, and I’ve never had a bad meal.

Very good food, friendly and attentive staff, but not much atmosphere. However, the dining room was packed and everyone looked as though they were having a great time. Food was served hot and all flavors were well balanced. Greens could have been cut to bite-sized pieces, but otherwise well done. Recommended and looking forward to a return visit.

Flavorful food and nice portions!

A spot you cannot miss when you are in Chinatown. We enjoyed the food so much and would go back in a heartbeat.

Everything is vegan here

Can’t believe that they have the vegan turnip cake, I’ve been looking for the vegan turnip cake for a long time , because the traditional way always makes the taro cake vegan but turnip cake with shrimp , that’s why I was so excited when I know that they have vegan turnip cake here😄

Unvergleichbar gut

Alles was das Restaurant anbietet ist vegan und sensationell lecker. Von 11 bis 16 Uhr zahlt man für ein Hauptgericht 8,95 $. Die Portionen sind groß und machen definitiv satt. Die Bedienungen sind sehr nett, das Essen schnell fertig und der Service zudem noch sehr effizient. Zu Beginn kriegt man gratis eine Kanne Tee und zum Schluss die Glückskekse geschenkt. Die Preise sind sehr günstig und die Qualität hervorragend.

Pros: Sehr lecker, Große Portionen und günstig , Alles vegan

Amazing!

Great food, with many options. Portion was good, and you get hot tea. The service was quick, but felt like you were in someone’s home.

Great dim sum

Great vegan dim sum options. We also got a beef dish off the dim sum (not pictured) but I wouldn’t recommend it. The ribs were amazing though.

Chopsticks only 😉

Nice meal. Just as good as "the original". Our carnivore friends also enjoyed it. Chopsticks only, she said with a laugh.

Blew me away

We ordered a ton of stuff off the dim sum menu, and everything was amazing. Our favorites were a sort of rice with “beef” in a lotus leaf and a delicious congee.

Awesome vegan dim sum

Huge menu of dim sum, appetizers and entrees. I tried the fried sticky rice dumplings, some kind of vegan meat bao, and the bbq veg meat and was really impressed with everything!!

Whoa...

This place is SO GOOD. We got a variety of items off the dim sum menu. They were all unique and delicious. I have been to a couple of veg dim sum places in the past - but this absolutely takes the cake.

Best Chinese food ever

First of all, I love that this restaurant is entirely vegan!
The service was really friendly and the place is cute! The food was amazing! We were there for the lunch and the price was unbelievably inexpensive, especially compared to the rest of New York.
It was so delicious and - no joke - the best Chinese food I've ever had! So tasty and flavorful. We'll definitely come again! 😋

Has it been confirmed that it’s fully vegan now, do you know? There has always been confusion about this place, whether it’s fully vegan or just vegetarian.

Yeah, I believe it used to just be vegetarian, and it became fully vegan more recently

Stuff of dreams

Came here almost three years ago after newly becoming vegan and have been thinking about it ever since. The staff is so friendly and the food is out of this world good. Everything is always so hot and fresh and fully of flavor. This trip we came during lunchtime so we could order more of the lunch specials and not waste lots of food! I have a feeling I will be dreaming about this lunch until our next NYC visit!

Pros: Variety , Taste , Atmosphere
