Delicious food

Really delicious food, with a very extensive menu. It's difficult to know what to select, but some items have photos, which helps.
The staff were not the friendliest and a bit short with us.
We would still go back though just because the food was so good.

Pros: extensive menu, tasty, price

Cons: service, vibe

Yummy & Super Friendly

I took my daughter here for her 15th birthday. Not only were all of our dishes amazing- they had some of the best service ever. Both my kids and husband all are excited to go back again. It’s very hard for our family of 4 to all agree so heavily in a place! We just found our newest regular spot in SF!

Very tasty, good location

The food was tasty, reasonably priced, and was prepared very quickly. Super easy to get to too; it’s just a short walk from the end of the T line. I’d eat here again if in Chinatown.

Delicious All Vegan Eats in Chinatown

Near the Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco. Friendly personnel, during a semi-busy lunch hour. Less than a mile walk from the Moscone Conference Center.

Ordered the steamed dumplings and chow mein with black pepper. I ate every morsel. Note, they don’t have desserts, but that’s okay.

Pros: Fully Vegan/Plant-Based (Confirmed by Personnel), Delicious and Satisfying Vegan Savory Eats, Friendly Personnel and Less than $30 for SF Lunch

Cons: Interior is Cozy with No Outdoor Seating Options

Great Food in Chinatown 地道的中国菜

The staff was super friendly and the food was really good! I got to have some of my favorites from China that I don't get at most Chinese restaurants in the States, like siji dou 豆豉茄子四季豆。

If you like imitation meat this is a great place for you, and if you don't care for it there are plenty of great dishes without it.

Pros: The food came out really fast!, Lots of choices and variety, 99.9% vegan

Perfect China Town find

I was so stoked to find this spot. Great for dining in, takeout or delivery. A go to when I’m in SF. I always try to pick new things since their menu is massive!

I especially love their soups.

Pros: Fully vegan, Huge menu, Lots of options I can’t find anywhere else

Restaurante vegano chinês com mais de 80 opções de refeições!

Esse foi o maior menu de refeições veganas que já vi!
Eram 89 opções. Elas estão numeradas no menu e isso facilita bastante na hora de pedir o prato.
Fui de Tofu agridoce (Sweat and sour tofu - foto) e ele estava bem saboroso.
A comida veio bem rápido.

Good and affordable

The chow mein i got was good although a tad bit oily for my taste. I would come here again anytime! Menu is all-vegan EXCEPT for one dish.

Terrific Chinese Food - Period!

Got the orange vegan chicken with broccoli. The orange sauce was delightfully fresh-squeezed orange tasting. The broccoli was crisp and fresh. A terrific lunch!

Some of the best food

I can't even say how wonderful this meal was. Everything was spot on, and better than imagined. LOVE it here, I canceled other stops on my trip to eat here multiple days, happily. I wish Portland had one here, and I can't wait to visit again.
Fantastic!

Pros: wonton soup, dumplings, rice and veggie dishses, quick, kind staff

IT'S OVER!

Yes folks, it's over! Let's hand Enjoy Vegetarian (Vegan) the 👑 for Bay Area Veganism. I got a few posts on here with my nostalgic bench marks for Chinese food on what I looked for (growing up eating in Oakland Chinatown), specifically chow mein & fried rice. The slight char from the wok, hint of sesame oil, perfect amount of soy sauce. Enjoy Veg EXCEEDS them all. I want to come back immediately and try their mock meats. If I had to choose between the two to go w/ the mock meats, probably the fried rice. The char on the "pork" was superb. Price point? It's up there with "City" prices. But food ratio, quality, and taste matches the price. EASY 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

All vegan Chinese restaurant

CNN Travel named Enjoy Vegetarian Restaurant as one of the top 50 Chinese restaurants in the country! M-F from 11am to 2pm there is a lunch special for $9.99 that includes an entree with brown or white rice along with a spring roll. Complementary tea is served yet didn't have it as I avoid caffeinated beverages.

Enjoy Vegetarian Restaurant is the second all vegan Chinese restaurant I've been to recently in San Francisco's Chinatown. The biggest challenge here is too much choice as there are 50 items to choose from for the lunch special & all of them are vegan so it is truly a vegan heaven!

One of my favorite things about Enjoy Vegetarian Restaurant is that the menu has pictures of each of the entrees so this gives you a good sense of what you order. I've often gone to other restaurants & what I think I'm ordering turns out to be something quite different.

I decided to order- L37 Kung Pao Tofu w/ Pepper & Broccoli宮保豆腐

As the picture menu showcased this entree had lots of broccoli & bell pepper which was what I wanted along with a good amount of tofu. The Kung Pao Tofu entree also comes with peanuts.

The Kung Pao Tofu was listed under the spicy section yet didn't find it that spicy yet the flavor was great & you can always ask for it to be more spicy. If you want more of kick there is hot sauce on the table to make it more spicy yourself.

Portions here are hearty so bring your appetite or bring a friend to share or bring your own tupperware to take home leftovers. Eating lunch here will give you some plant powered fuel to conquer the surreal epic hills nearby that makes San Francisco so famous & fun to explore.

Also worth checking out nearby is the oasis in the city & one of my favorite bookstores on the planet "City Lights Bookstore" which is just a four minute walk away.

I look forward to returning to Enjoy Vegetarian to try out some more of the 50 entrees. You can almost come here once a week for a year getting a different entree each week!

Pros: many choices, hearty portions

Awesome service and great food

Great place if you’re looking for vegan Chinese food. Lots of options making it super hard to choose. Get the hot tea when you sit down 🫖🍵

We got the golden boat appetizer, general Tso chicken and orange chicken with a side of rice.

Both were pretty good, and came in big portions. The golden boat was way more food than we thought. Took two takeout boxes home.

If you’re sensitive to wheat products they have GF options.

Pros: So many options
