Vegetarian Hot Wok - Edit
I know the restaurant has closed but has the owner opened somewhere else? Really missing the Vegetarian Hot Wok, can’t find it anywhere else.

Closing the end of December, 2023 - Edit
Just a quick note that Mr Chan’s, one of the original vegan friendly places around Baltimore will be closing its doors next week, at the end of the year. Please enjoy their food in their final days.

I love the orange tofu but the food is hit or miss - Edit
My family has eaten here once.
Read moreThis is what we got and 1-5 scale
Orange Tofu - 5
Veg hot and sour soup - 4
Veg wonton soup - 2
Veg pad Thai - 1
My dad is not vegan and ate something with seafood, but I obviously can’t speak to that dish since I don’t eat meat. BUT if you have a mixed diet family, everyone can eat here.
I would get the orange tofu and hot and sour soup again! Yum!
Pros: Lots of vegan options, ORANGE TOFU IS GREAT!
Cons: Some dishes are a miss

Orange Tempeh is the best! - Edit
I love the Orange Tempeh. I get that every time. My personal choice is definitely the tempeh over the seitan, I find the seitan to be too soft for my taste, and think most people would prefer the texture of the tempeh. Comes with rice which is the perfect pairing. It is soo good! Many vegan and vegetarian options here.

It’s 5 Stars in my book - Edit
Plenty of Vegan options to choose from as they will make any dish fully vegan. The place is a little hole in the wall in an older section of Reisterstown with an interior that probably been changed since it opened.
Read morePros: Solid vegan options, Willing to adjust any dish, Good food cheap
Cons: Definitely a hole in the wall

Went back 7/6/2023. Still a hole in the wall with really good Chinese food and plenty of vegan options. Ownership appears to have changed but commitment to quality ingredients and great tasting vegan food is still evident.

nostalgia - Edit
I remember this place growing up. My family would visit occasionally and we would only get vegan friendly dishes. I remember my favorite being the cold sesame noodles. I never went home hungry.

I absolutely love the food and service here! Orange yuba is one of my fav dishes. They give you lots of little snacks before your meal for dinner. Their lunch price special can't be beat! Parking is behind the building to the left.

Surprised this one doesn't have more reviews! - Edit
Mr. Chan's has been serving up a huge vegan menu for about 15 years. I think every vegan or vegetarian in the Baltimore area has been here (probably repeatedly!). Non-veggies will love it too - good place to take a mixed group as well as all-vegan. Can accommodate events and large groups as well. Really large vegan menu and unusual items. Nice additions of lots of fresh greens like kale that you don't normally find in Chinese restaurants. You don't get the fried, oily dishes here - it's generally a fresher taste. The veggie sushi has several unique variations as well. Hard to pick a fav item! I do love the kale w/edamame and so many of the others. It's the type of place you order your dinner and about 3 other items to take home for lunches for the week.

It Deserves a Lot of Credit - Edit
While I didn't love my entree, I really respect this place for it's veggie and vegan options. Not only do they offer dishes with the usual tofu and seitan and tempeh, but they also offer yuba and healmy. You can get any of these mixed with various sauces and veggies. To start, I had vegan hot and sour soup. It was DELICIOUS! Just the way I remember liking it long, long ago (13 years!) when I wasn't vegetarian! For my entree, I chose the "sampler" that had yuba, seitan, and healmy with veggies and white sauce (a light garlic-y sauce). I pretty much only liked the yuba... it was closest to tofu, while the others were had a more slimey texture that was not so appealing to me. There were snap peas, red pepper, and mushrooms in it. Overall, it was average.... worth a try, but I didn't love it. For dessert, I got the vegan green tea custard. It came with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. It was very tasty! The staff was friendly and helpful. Be aware: there is a very tiny parking lot behind the restaurant, and the restaurant shares it with other restaurants. It was filled, and I was forced to do street parking (which is rather crowded in that area). Also, the menu is not very descriptive of the different entrees. I had to ask a few questions to explain the entrees more before making my decision.
Read moreUpdated from previous review on Saturday September 25, 2010: At the time that I wrote this review I was not yet vegan, but now that I am I appreciate this place's vegan options all the more. My fave items: pineapple tofu and orange seitan! I also love the hot and sour soup!
And about the parking: I don't know if this has changed or if I just didn't know better at the time, but there is a big public parking lot across from Mr. Chans, so I have not since had a parking issue there.
Pros: Great veggie and vegan variety, Decent prices, Friendly and helpful staff
Cons: Menu is not too descriptive
