Short orange hair in my food… - Edit
I have long curly brown hair and there was a very short thick orange hair in my drumsticks. Honestly looked like a [censored]….otherwise would’ve given five stars as the taste was great but obviously had to knock some stars off for the unwanted body hair

Vegan Dim Sum! - Edit
Never got to try dim sum because we don't have vegan-friendly options where I live, so I had to try this spot and it was really good!

Don’t waste your time - Edit
I’ve been here several times (at least half a dozen) the food is completely mediocre at best, I’m not one to typically complain about one bad service experience. However having been here on a number of occasions, the service is completely inattentive, hence very slow and often have trouble with language. Also one time they brought me green sweetened which was never mentioned in discussion or on the menu. I told them politely I can’t drink it and they said not their problem and they wouldn’t take it off the bill. Please don’t bother at all with this place.

Actually so good - Edit
I'd been sleeping on King's for years and I ended up trying it and I've really been missing out. The BBQ seitan dish was particularly good and loved the carrot, apple, ginger juice that was fresh pressed.

Dim sum feast - Edit
Great range of dim sum and main dishes. Seaweed bites, won tons, fried dumplings, ‘prawn’ steamed dumplings, meat bauzi and bean curd were all delicious. Shop at the back selling freezer goods and vegan moon cakes. All very affordable, we would definitely come back. Took our meat eating parents who also enjoyed everything.

Good vegetarian food - Edit
Nice vegetarian food that can be made vegan on request. However only 4 stars as the restaurant was a little quiet on Saturday at lunch time and was a bit intimidating as a solo diner

We really had a fantastic meal. Large menu. Asian Thai Chinese. Vegetarian but everything can be made vegan. Had the vegan Peking duck for the first time. Outstanding! Very nice polite lady server. Nice atmosphere. Clean. Delicious. Hit the store where a nice lady sold us all kinds of stuffs like vegan snacks and teas and sweets. Definitely a cool place to visit. Near Kingston market. Highly recommended

Delicious food, s l o w service - Edit
We typically order delivery from here and the food is great! Today we decided to eat in…. Slow is an understatement. We asked for our tea three times - still never came. Service leaves a lot to be desired. But the food is worth it - I’d just suggest delivery 😆

A great option - Edit
The food was pretty good overall, we had a few plates to share so that we could taste more stuff. We also had some house made iced tea which was lovely. There was an issue with our waiter (an order we never received but were outright accused of having taken) which kind of made the whole experience a little less agreeable, but I would nonetheless go back.

Best Chinese food - Edit
The food was sooo good. Everything is vegan except a few items that contain egg or dairy which are clearly labeled (they should just make the switch to fully vegan at this point 😉). Their fake meat is really good.
Read moreThey bring out the entrées to share so if you go with any other people, order a bunch of entrées to split.

Great food, nice staff, well labeled menu - Edit
There were minimal staff, so I don't know if they are able to handle things when busy, but they did well when we were there (there were only two other families). The food was really good. Everything is vegetarian. Most foods are vegan, and it specifies if foods contain dairy, eggs, and if spicy or very spicy. They also have a little shop with Asian vegan and veggie foods.

So Seitanerific - Edit
There are good vegan Chinese restaurants, and then there are great vegan Chinese restaurants. This is one of the latter. Their BBQ Seitan With Bokchoy is incredible - crispy outside, moist and tender inside. The sticky rice is so yummy. And there is so much other great stuff to explore on the menu.
