Terrible food and even more terrible service - Edit
It seems this place is on its last leg and rightfully so,
Read moreWe walked in and it was completely empty, the ambience was strange with the AI generated art adorning the walls, but since my partner and I wanted Chinese and I was looking for Vegan options, this place seemed to be the closest to us so we went up to order.
The person working at the front was apathetic and cold and when he would muster the energy to show any emotion, it was disdain for our presence. My fiancé asked a simple question regarding the spice level and the employee manning the front instead of answering said to us “I don’t know man, it depends on your tolerance”
When we received the food we sat down and it looked good, but the food only looked good. Believe the other reviews when they say this food is overly oily, salty, and lacking any flavour that Chinese food usually possesses. There was also a strange water that was in the bottom of the bowl that caused the whole
meal to taste watery and soggy.
The most enjoyable part of the meal was the coke we ordered which was incredibly overpriced as was the rest of the food.
The manager I’m guessing who was at the front was balancing books and when we asked for cutlery he rudely without looking up said it was right next to him, which was placed weirdly in a way that is almost behind the front counter.
After the underwhelming meal he then told us to throw out our dishes and garbage ourselves while we were midway out the door.
If you want to receive bad service, tasteless lazy food, and be $50 lighter for a build your own bowl experience, this is the place to be.
If you care at all about your taste buds and your wallet, along with avoiding rude service do not visit this place.
(And if you are vegan really wanting Chinese food in Jersey, just cross the bridge and save yourself the headache)
Cons: Overpriced, Bad food, Bad customer service

Great quick option - Edit
We loved the Get the Veg out bowl, replaced the lettuce with aromatic jasmine rice. So good - chili tofu was cooked perfectly. Kind service, very clean

Really great bowls! - Edit
So happy they are open again! I had a jade bowl with salt and pepper crunchy eggplant that was perfectly crunchy, and chili tofu that was somehow crispy and silky at the same time. I highly recommend the won ton soup… the broth was so rich and flavorful that none of us realized it was vegan.

Nice place - Edit
Nice casual place with excellent fast service. Food is definitely pricey even without any mockmeat and tofu is upcharged in addition to high base prices. Aside from that, food was good. Our fave was the bbq cauliflower bao buns. We also enjoyed the crispy spicy mushrooms ( not too spicy) and the not quite beef broccoli, but better to share as each dish is a little too simple to be satisfying as your only food.

Not worth it - Edit
Ignorant owners. Staff was kind though. Overpriced for small portions that didn’t even taste that good. Tried to do one star but Happy Cow is too nice and won’t let me.

Really creative, tasty, fully vegan food - Edit
Fat Choy has a limited but really creative Chinese fusion menu with great service.
Read moreEspecially recommended are their Crispy Spicy Mushrooms. The sauce is not that spicy, but you can request it on the side. A little on the expensive side, but the high quality makes you glad you ate there.
We were a party of three and chose to get an appetizer and three of the small dishes rather than two of the large. It was just right and we were able to try an extra dish that way.
We'd go back and order the Crispy Spicy Mushrooms again next time.
Enjoy!
By the way, you can go to Bianco Nero Gelato down the block for dessert. They have four or five vegan flavors.

Note that this restaurant is no longer fully vegan as of October 2024. They serve meat and seafood dishes as well as vegan dishes.

The menu is completely different, too -- they serve build your own bowls.

Great vegan Option - Edit
Fresh atmosphere with a creative menu. Mocktails sounded interesting, but we opted for green tea which was quite tasty. We chose 2 of the 3 "spicy" dishes which were the tofu and tots and the curry noodles. Both were flavorful, but could use some vegetables and the tots were soggy. The glazed tofu appetizer is presented nicely and cooked well, but the sauce was very salty. The banana ragoon dessert was okay. Unfortunately, the bottles of sauces brought to the table for sharing were sticky and that was a turn off for me. A nice option, but very pricey...Over $60 for lunch for 2 #Veganuary

Cons: Need more vegetables in the dishes, Clean the soy sauce bottles on table, I don't care for reusable chop sticks sitting on t

Good start - Edit
We were so excited that there was finally a vegan place near us out in New Jersey. I know they just opened so I wanted to cut them a little slack, but there are a few things that they should work on..

A classic - Edit
Absolutely divine! Went here with my Chinese family and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The cauliflower bao bun paired with general lees cauliflower bites, as well as their dirty lo main were all phenomenal and let’s not forget the star of the whole course was the dessert (banana rangoons) the family all went crazy for, I’d order 2 if your sharing with 4ppl. Definitely come here with the whole fam or perhaps a date night

Skip it - Edit
There is not much to say nice except it’s all vegan. The food is very underwhelming. Time to rethink all the recipes. The KungPao Tofu and Tots were dreadful!

Awesome - Edit
Great food, great prices, great portion sizes. I love having this high quality vegan spot in the suburbs close to me so we don’t have to deal with the struggle of going into the city.

Fat Choy's vegan menu is amazing! - Edit
The restaurant concept that Fat Choy creates lives up to the hype. Vegan food that satisfies even the toughest carnivores. Fresh and comforting, Fat Choy's selections are ideal for those who are true vegans or just want to try really good plant-based food.
