SOS Vegan Available

Very accommodating to our needs. We are SOS Vegan (No salt, oil or sugar) and they had several options for us. We had tofu, broccoli, green beans, brown rice and a bit of organic soy sauce.

Pros: Can do SOS Vegan, Several organic options

Cons: Have meat on the menu

my go to for VEGAN Chinese food

coming from SF, this is the only place I go for Chinese Food
My favorites:
coconut squash, potstickers, wonton soup is made with fresh veggie broth,

curry Shanghai noodles


I never got sick from eating this place.
It is always not too oily. Don't hesitate to ask for non oil dishes

I planned a dinner with 20 people. They all want to come back. YUM

Pros: affordable, YUM, YUMMY

Cons: vegans in this area, usually don't go out to eat, , why this is place is empty, should be busier, people only complain on YELP, as their outlet

Good

We have been here 2 times. Foods good! The Mongolian tofu 👍🏼 you can ask to have very little oil added to the food.

Update! Been here a few times now. So far most things have been really good. The orange tofu was soft in middle, probably would not get again.
Vegan pot stickers were 👍🏼

Vegan options Available

Large vegan dishes! I went alone and I could've definitely used someone to help me eat all the food. They have vegan dumplings as well as other tofu dishes. If you like asian beer, they don't sell by the pitcher but they have large glass bottles.

Pros: Vegan dumplings, Price is reasonable, Big plates

This was one of the best authentic Chinese meals I’ve had. Everything I got was vegan and gluten-free and was SO tasty. The onion pancakes and hot and sour soup were delicious. The pot stickers were SO good and authentic.

Pros: Lots of vegan and gluten-free options , Hot and sour soup, Potstickers- DELICIOUS!!!

Cons: There isn’t one in Las Vegas :(

A Hidden Gem in Cotati, CA

If you’re a vegan visiting the beautiful countryside of Nor-Cal you HAVE to try this place. I was visiting Petaluma with my boyfriend for my birthday and we had dinner here tonight. We ordered the pot stickers, green onion pancake, orange sesame tofu, and chow mein. Everything was delicious, the portions were very generous and we left full and satisfied. The fact that they have a full vegan menu was such a pleasant surprise, that’s more than we can say for a lot of places back home in Orange County. The service was very nice as well, the owner kept saying how much she loves vegan people. Well we love you right back!

Pros: full menu, cheap, delicious

Best Vegan Chinese in Sonoma County!!

Love this place! They have a separate vegan menu and the owner is very attentive to veg & vegans alike. Many gluten free options. Friendly. Cozy. Affordable. Try the vegan green onion pancakes! My favorite dish is the shuttle mushrooms with ginger (be sure to ask for extra veggies as most tofu dish don't include veggies) You'll love it!

Pros: Separate vegan menu. Lots of gluten free options.

Cons: none
