Great food but declined over time

Sad to hear this place has closed. Their food was amazing. Once they were bought by new owners, they started trying to be more fancy, and it killed off a lot of their usual customers. The food was amazing, though. Sad to see it go.

Pros: All-veg, Very friendly

Cons: Closed, Tried to be too fancy

Good Near Convention Center

I usually stop by Kingdom of Vegetarians once on every trip to the city -- mostly because it's so convenient to the Convention Center. They have the usual fake meats (OK by me), but it's definitley not health food. Hot and sour soup here I always think is too salty and with too much pepper. They have strange and sticky plastic sheets over the tables, which destroy the atmosphere, but it's the food that makes this stop worthwhile ... and the reasonable prices!

Pros: Prices, Location

Cons: No atmoshphere

Fake meat, but Great cheesecake!

I've had two trips to Kingdom of Vegetarians so far. Being a vegan vegan (I don't like fake meat) there is little for me to choose from. I ordered Mushu vegetables with pancakes and I tried to order a side of brown rice and was denied. "No! you don't eat rice with Mushu it comes with pancakes!". The mushu was very greasy/salty and I couldn't even eat half of it. It seems like the main reason to go to any vegetarian Asian eatery is if they have good dessert and they certainly delievered on that. They had an awesome chocolate vegan cheesecake that I would go back again just to get.

Pros: dessert

Cons: main course

Good Food, Great Selection

I was overall pretty pleased with this restaurant. We ordered way too much food since it all sounded so good. The only thing I didn't like was the veggie beef, but the rest was all quite good. The ribs were great, but more like chicken tenders then ribs. Soups were good too.

Pros: Good Food, Friendly Staff

Cons: veggie beef = weird

Good dim sum, wrong takeout order

We really enjoyed the dim sum. We left a lot of it uneaten if we did not like it. They brought the dessert and we asked for more dim sum, it is after all, all you can eat. So we had some that we really liked. much of it was deep fried, and others were steamed, so it was a mix. Your arteries would not want it everyday, but it was good. The soup was just ok. We also took a large to-go order since veg Chinese is rare around us, and they got the entire order wrong. We were disappointed by that. All in all a nice place, very cost effective, too.

Pros: price, dim sum all you can eat

Cons: soup , wrong takeout order

dim sum.

i have only been here for dim sum, so here we go. when you order the dim sum special they basically bring you out lots of little different things until you can not eat anymore, so it is a really good deal. but here is the warning: some of this food is so good and so filling and is probably about as bad for you as vegan food can get so be prepared (if you like good tasting filling fatty stuff) to bring the range of your palate to another level, a level you probably can not even imagine. you may leave thinking you will never come back, you may leave wanting to come about 36hrs later (probably the next time you will be hungry again) but you no matter what, in the end you will not be able to stop thinking about going back, but maybe it is just me... who knows.

Disappointing

I found the food here to be quite disappointing. I had the Beef Chow Fun and a Chicken Hot Pepper with Broccoli, both of which were bland, oily, and generally uninspired. The mockmeats were both gooey and had the texture of steak fat. While I appreciated the quantity and variety of vegetables they offered in each dish, the flat tastes and the low-quality mockmeats made this place a major disappointment. I also tried their mango vegan cheesecake, and it tasted all right, but was clearly not fresh.

Pros: Large portions, Large menu

Cons: Bland, Bad mockmeats, Stale cheesecake
