Great food but very pricey

Very extensive vegan options, huge list of starters plus vegan duck, chicken, beef, prawn and tofu dishes. Staff are lovely. Two mains(not huge), a fried rice and 6 chicken balls came to £52 (between 2 people) which is very expensive, left satisfied but not stuffed.

Pros: Great vegan options, Friendly staff

Cons: Expensive

Great selection

For a long time I didn't have a Chinese takeaway because I couldn't trust the options were truly vegan. To find this restaurant was a godsend! The staff are always so friendly, delivery times are quick and the food is delicious! It is cash only but I've never found this a problem.

Pros: Massive menu, Friendly staff, Yummy food

Imperial Cruising

You’ll find a staggering clearly labelled vegan menu with dozens of dishes here. I’d call it an abundance. The kitchen looks very clean and the interior is immaculate. As we’d already eaten a short while previously it was just a short and quick take away visit of VG chicken and mushrooms in curry sauce and rice. I tend to rate a Chinese by its curry sauce which was outstanding with a welcoming spicy punch. The chicken pieces were succulent but firm and drenched with flavour.

Pros: Massive vegan options

Delicious vegan Chinese

They have a separate vegan menu with a whole bunch of options, including specials and classics that you may not be able to find as vegan anywhere else!
I had the spicy honey chicken and classic chow mein. Both were really tasty.
Be aware that this place is cash only!

Best vegan Chinese

I’ve been here multiple times now and and always impressed with the vegan menu. This time I had spicy vegan squid (which actually wasn’t as spicy as previously), seasonal vegetables with vegan duck which wasn’t as good as I’d hoped - I think I’ll stick to garlic broccoli in future - and vegan chow mein which never disappoints. Staff friendly and accommodating to vegan diets. Very good as a takeaway or eat in. Will miss it when I leave Plymouth.

Pros: Large vegan menu , Lots of meat replacements

Stumbled onto this place after reservations for another fell through, couldn’t have been more happily surprised at the huge amount of options all of which were extremely enjoyable!
Note that they are a cash only business, but there are a couple of ATMs near by.

Pros: Vast vegan menu, Extremely good food

Cons: Cash only

Lots of vegan options

It’s nice to have a Chinese restaurant that offers vegan options which doesn’t just consists of a vegetable dish or tofu. All of the food we have tried has beeb delicious. However, we ordered the vegan chicken chowmein and we are sure the noodles were egg noodles!

So much choice!

I'm really not use to have that many vegan choices on a menu! Went here with work colleagues and they really enjoyed it too. Very yummy! All the usual meat options on a menu had a vegan option. Lots of meat substitutes for the transitioning vegans.

Pros: Loads of vegan options! , Big portions

Cons: Not the cheapest

Amazing vegan Chinese

I get takeaway from here often and it's so good. salt and spicy squid is to die for. Great option if you want to get Chinese with a group including non vegans. Hoping they bring out crackers one day

Pros: Lots of choice, Squid is amazing

Cons: Can get a bit pricey if not ordering to share

Amazing Vegan Options!

Have used this Chinese restaurant for a while now, and have never been disappointed. They have a whole menu dedicated to vegan dishes, which is rare to find. Food always arrives hot and tasty. Sometimes there is a wait for deliveries on weekends, but other than that it is quick. Reasonably priced too. Highly recommend!

Pros: Whole vegan menu, Delicious food, Reasonably priced

My go-to takeout

My absolute go-to vegan takeout, always so polite and accommodating on the phone, and a large variety of vegan dishes. The food is always hot on arrival and expertly packed, they usually include free prawn crackers which my (non vegan) partner loves, would be lovely to maybe have something vegan included like this? Delicious flavours and lots of variety in their dishes. They deliver too which is fab!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Variety of flavours, Accommodating and flexible

Cons: Delivery sometimes takes a long time
