Best in Ballantyne!

I came here with my daughter who is omni and she enjoyed every bite of her "chkn" lo mein. I had the shrimp lo mein and everything was delish! We had spring rolls that were hot and had delicious dipping sauce. I savored it! This was my first time eating in since they opened from covid everything was perfect! Thanks for great service!

Delightful food, Incredibly kind staff, pleasant dining area, everything was wonderful!

Don't worry about the sign out front that says "Vegetarian", I was assured that 100% of their menu is Vegan, without exception. My meal was absolutely delightful, the restaurant itself had a lovely, quiet atmosphere, and the staff were incredibly attentive and kind. I had an excellent time here.

Pros: Wonderful staff, Delicious food, Good dine-in experience

Give me all the things!

Great selection and service. We were in town for a tournament and I was excited to find this place. We ordered Boneless Spare Ribs because that seemed different. I got Broccoli with Beef combo with fried rice. The rice was really good. The B&B was okay. The sauce was not a traditional brown sauce and was actually kind of sweet which is NOT what I had wanted. It was good but not what your brain thinks of when it comes to B&B. Hubby got General Tao Shrimp which was wired on its own but quite good.

Pros: All vegan, No GMO or MSG, So many options

Cons: A bit pricey , Not traditional American Chinese food flavors

Quick Fix

Perfect little spot to grab a quick bite to eat to fix your Chinese food cravings! We ordered the General Tso Meat Veg entree with fried rice. Also had to try the Fried Oyster Mushrooms. Both were a hit. The only thing I would recommend is more broccoli in the General Tso dish. We only had a few to split in our servings.
Next time I don’t feel like getting in the kitchen to create a vegan meal, this will definitely be on my list of go to fast food.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Many faux beef, chicken, and seafood options

Really great Chinese cuisine

Even apart from all the meat alternatives, the food is great in and of itself. Some of the best in the area vegan or not.
Get the lo mein, the fried rice, the drumsticks. It's all great. This will be my go to Chinese place when I'm in town

Pros: They have the "meats"!, The food is great overall!, Drumsticks!

Hungry now happy

Happy Cow guided is to a wonderful restaurant. We were met quickly at the door with menus. Cheerful staffer guided us to popular options. Meals were ready when promised and enjoyed in the one shady parking spot.

Pros: Extensive menu, Great prices, Vegan donut shop next door

Food was good but lacking veggies

My family and I got take out from this place. We tried the General Tso chicken, the ribs and the steak. The General Tso was all vegan chicken and about 6 pieces of broccoli (no enough!) and the streak was the opposite 6 pieces of steak and the rest of plate full with veggies. All delicious just not the right proportions.

Pros: All vegan, Many options of vegan meats, Clean food, not oily

Cons: Lacked a nice proportion of vegan meat & veggies

Wonderful Contactless Experience!

We ordered here during COVID-19 and it is the best take away experience I’ve had this year. The staff is so nice and caring, even to non-vegans. The food was ready in 15 minutes and came out piping hot. Everything we got was so delicious, and we will definitely be going back!! My dad (non-vegan) even enjoyed the spring rolls, fried wontons, and the Chickn Lo Mein. I’m so glad that we finally got to try out this local business and I look forward to trying something new from the menu next time 💕

Pros: So many “meat” options, Great tastes and super fresh, Great customer service

Absolutely delicious!

I didn’t think I would eat Chinese take out ever again since going vegan. This place exceeded my expectations. Even my non-vegan family enjoyed it. The general tso is my favorite. Can’t wait to go back ☺️

Great Spot

We were really happy to find Ma Ma Wok while visiting the area for work. It was about 5min from our hotel.

Recommendation: Thai tea and Spicy orange 'chicken' (not too spicy)

We tried several dishes but enjoyed the spicy orange chicken most.

The faux meats are quite good. We really liked the 'chicken' in the spicy orange chicken. We also got the sesame 'chicken' which was a bit rubbery. It was fried and we weren't a huge fan of the sauce.

We found the Lo Mein to be just okay and the chicken and broccoli to be lacking flavor.

We didn't really like the pork buns. The bun dough was a bit off.

The Thai tea was pretty amazing.

We saw some reviews referencing salt and pepper king oyster mushrooms which we wanted to try but didn't see it on the menu.

The food was prepared quickly and came quickly.

The staff was super professional. They repeated our order for accuracy which is always appreciated and great customer service. They also had contact less pick up set up and the staff were wearing masks.

They provided us with forks but no chopsticks 🥢 so check your order if you prefer chopsticks.

There was plenty of parking as it was in a strip mall area with a large parking lot for several shops.

There is also a donut shop two doors down that had vegan and gluten free donuts advertised.

Overall we were really happy to fins this vegan restaurant. We found some dishes to be exceptional and others not so much.

Pros: Spicy orange chicken , Thai tea, Staff repeated our order for accuracy 👍🏿

So delicious!

So glad I found this place! I missed Chinese food so bad and this place has most of what other Chinese restaurants offer but veganized. The food is so delicious. Staff is friendly and restaurant is clean with good atmosphere. Prices are affordable. Highly recommend.

Amazingly good

We will drive significantly out of our way to visit here when we are traveling anywhere near Charlotte. It is a traditional Chinese restaurant with an expansive menu, but totally vegan! All of the dishes we have tried have been delicious, especially the orange peel 'chicken' and fried wontons. They have many different mock meats including chicken, beef, pork, and fish. I can't wait to go back.

Absolutely Delicious

We ordered takeout for vegans and non-vegans alike and everyone loved it! I got the sweet and sour vegan meat dish and I inhaled it.

Delicious!

My father and I ate here on a whim - I'm vegan, he isn't - and were thoroughly impressed by the offerings. I got the Thai tea and flower "chicken", he got Singapore mei fun with tofu, and we shared an order of salt and pepper king oyster mushrooms. Everything was absolutely delicious, and I was startled by how much like poultry the vegan chicken tasted and felt. It was a little unnerving, because I've been veg for a long time and am not used to meat textures, but impressive and delicious nonetheless! I'll definitely be going again when I'm nearby.

Pros: Delicious food, Great variety, Realistic imitation meat

Cons: Not all items are accurately priced

Vegan Chinese Restaurant!

Deep in the heart of Carolina BBQ country is an absolute treat for vegans, an all vegan Chinese restaurant. It's so all so good and has that deep variety of dishes you expect at your regular Chinese restaurants. The dishes are very creative and presented beautifully. The good is delicious enough that your meat eating friends won't complain.

Pros: Wide variety of classic choices , Reasonable prices

Cons: The ordering menu could be designed better.

Wow is all I can say

Love every bite, ordered enough to take home but ended up devouring the majority right there! The sat and pepper mushrooms tasted just like calamari, sooo good. Pork buns were great as well!

Pros: All vegan , Very friendly place and people.

Tasty

The ma ma special soup is delicious. I also liked the wontons and ribs. My only suggestion is that the food could use a little more spice and heat but that’s a personal preference

Must go!

So I was there a few years ago and got my vegan dish that I loved and the owner asked me to sit down with her to show me what their new veg menu would likely be.

We talked for a while, she listened to all my feedback. Two weeks later they made the switch! I love going in there and seeing giant construction workers enjoying a veg meal. Everything I’ve had was phenomenal!

Sadly, I moved to Sweden about a month after they made the switch.

Amazing vegan meat!

Great authentic vegan Chinese restaurant. The staff was very nice and friendly. Their vegan meat was amazing! I had the house Mei Fun that had vegan shrimp, chicken, beef and ham. Amazing texture and flavor. My husband had the Salt and Pepper Ribs. They were so good as well! Can't wait to try more of their menu items!

Pros: Huge menu, authentic Chinese food, Nice, friendly staff, Good sized portions

Delicious Excellence

Great Chinese food with a good atmosphere in a good neighborhood. The restaurant is totally vegan and delicious! We loved the General Tao chicken, potstickers, fish, and potato curry. Everything is very fresh and the service is outstanding. We wished we lived closer but will make this our go to spot when in the Charlotte area.

Pros: All vegan

Cons: I live 120 miles away from this great restaurant
