Satisfied a lo mein craving I’ve been having for months! - Edit
While traveling in Houston we stopped here after a long day of driving for dinner. We got the egg rolls and steamed dumplings as a starter. The egg rolls were quite small for the price, and they were fine but I could have done without them. The steamed dumplings were delicious, and had plenty of filling and a wonderful sauce that was served with them. For my entree I ordered the vegetable lo mein, and there’s an option to add vegan chicken or vegan fish but I just got it plain. It. Was. Incredible. I haven’t had lo mein (my favorite Chinese dish) since before going vegan and it was incredible. My husband got the Hunan Vegan Chicken and he loved it! It’s a good thing I don’t live in Houston because I’d be getting takeout here all the time.

great buffet - Edit
My husband and I have only chosen the Vegan lifestyle in the last couple of months. This place was a great surprise. The food was hot and we were able to try a lot of new dishes. We will definitely go back.

Great buffet! - Edit
I was very happy to discover a vegan buffet. There were a variety of options available, including raw vegetables, stir fry, rice, noodles, curry with potatoes, soup, pot stickers, desserts, fruit, and more. The food was delicious!
Read moreIt was nice knowing that everything available was free of animal products, and that I could eat anything I wanted. I left feeling very full and satisfied. My non-vegan husband enjoyed the food, too.
Pros: Excellent food, friendly staff, a vegan buffet

Best Vegan Buffet! - Edit
Best Vegan buffet I've had! Food was amazing, well staffed, food always restocked quickly. Mock meats were crazy good, sushi, pot stickers, egg rolls, and more! Lots to choose from! I wish we had one this good in Dallas! Kind of pricey for the buffet on nights and weekends ($16.60) but very well worth it!

tried it - Edit
The food is good, but the base price of the buffet is $18 per person and the buffet is very small without a variety of options. I didn't see a menu with a la carte prices. Tried it, it was good.

Delicious vegan Chinese - Edit
This place is completely understated. It's in a little strip mall next to Chipotle across the road from Costco. The food is entirely plant based and delicious. You can choose between a buffer or order a la carte. They have a great website. The couple who owns the restaurant is seems just wonderful. I love that they are sharing their culture's food in a plant based form. Such a nice example of how unnecessary animal products are for uncompromised taste.

tasty, mostly healthy buffet - all you can eat - Edit
The salad buffet is pretty good, every veggie tasted fresh and the place was simple and clean. I paid $11.99 + tax for my buffet and proceeded to gorge myself.

Bountiful buffet - Edit
Best Asian Fusion buffet around! Begin with salad fixings, fresh lettuces including darker greens, spinach, kale, peppers, onions, mushrooms, olives, chopped vegetables & fruit, add a good choice of dressings. Steamed and fried rice, pakora, mock meats. Excellent flavorful vegetable dishes, steamed eggplant, squashes, spring rolls. Miso, "egg" drop and vegetable broths/soups. Desserts, which I seldom try since I've filled up on the veggies. There is also a menu to order from that includes most of the buffet items. Very affordable prices.
Read moreIn a busy strip center of restaurants so parking can be tight.
Pros: Best Asian fusion buffet, Affordable prices, Very friendly staff
Cons: Parking tight, Closes midday, Buffet not available on weekends

one of my favorites - Edit
I absolutely love this place. especially their buffet. the buffet has a little more choices on the weekends and cost a little more on weekends. Buffet has a nice salad and fruit bar, some sweets and lots of steamed and fried veggies that are to die for. you can also get fresh fruit juices. i find that nice, because usually you get only sodas and ice tea around here. they do have an à la carte menu, but I must say that I have problems to make a choice from there. there are no pictures and the dish names are Taiwanese if I am not wrong (I might be wrong). from the descriptions I do not really understand what to expect from the dish, but that is a user issue. the staff can also be sometimes a bit strange. maybe super shy. not unfriendly by any means. the owners are usually there and always super nice and more outgoing. they are closed on Mondays and around lunch time it is always hard to find a parking space. so come a little earlier or later. they are also quite full around lunch.
Read morePros: buffet and a la carte options, fresh fruits, salad, juices available, many delicious veggie options
Cons: menu needs pictures, parking space limited around lunch

Best Veg Buffet in Houston - Edit
Absolutely love this place. A big, tasty selection of all-vegan Asian-inspired foods. Delicious! My advice - Go for the buffet during the day in the week or at the weekend rather than ordering a la carte. Much more choice :)

Fresh, tasty buffet! - Edit
Heard about this place via a google search for vegan friendly restaurants. The buffet is absolutely wonderful - it's a bit on the smaller side but each option I've tried has been full of flavor! It is a great value and I would recommend it to anyone. The staff is extremely friendly and has no problem answering any questions you may have. The vegan coconut cake is an absolute must!
