My Favorite Vegan Take-Out - Edit
Way before I was even interested in becoming vegan I found this place (about ten years ago) and fell in love with their vermicelli with charcoal “beef.” They have lots of other Vietnamese and some Chinese staples, but I always end up getting the same thing because I just love it so much. If you’re not familiar with Vietnamese vermicelli bowls, they’re kind of like a “noodle salad” so they’re served room-temperature with veggies and protein. Living in Houston, it’s ridiculously hot and humid at least half the year so this is my go-to dish to feel refreshed! But I still eat it in the winter and love adding chili garlic sauce for some spice. Not only does the mock beef taste incredible (I even liked it more than real beef during the time I was still a meat-eater), but the owner has not raised the prices in the past decade. It’s still the same price it was when I started going in 2012. I highly recommend leaving a tip even when getting takeout here to show some appreciation for them keeping the prices more than reasonable. And it’s just really delicious!

Excellent family style experience - Edit
I found this place while my wife was going all over looking for the best Asian food around Bellaire. They have a traditional family-style menu. I got the salted tofu and vermicelli with egg rolls. It was really good. Now I wish I was a little more adventurous. I guess I'll have to come back.

My favorite restaurant in Houston - Edit
I’ve been coming here for almost 5 years now. Even now that I’ve moved away to LA, it’s always the first place on my list when I’m in town to visit family. Sometimes I stop here before I even get home from the airport. My favorite dishes are the chicken fried steak, the salt and pepper tofu, and the mock duck! Some of the best vegan Asian food I’ve ever had anywhere.

Quan Yin satisfies. - Edit
Quan Yin is a go to goodie destination for Houston's vegan & vegetarian Communities, where you take people who think a meal isn't complete without meat. The menu has abundant tasty "mock meat" options to quiet that crowd, while filling them with cruelty free food.
Read moreUsually open for foodie holiday feasts, when veg options are either eat at home, or pay exorbitant prices for a hotel or restaurant buffet with only a salad & a few sides that don't include animals.
Prices moderate. Family style, where everyone orders something different & then samples, or individual servings. Quan Yin satisfies.
Pros: All vegan, Mock meats for veg curious, Good food
Cons: White rice, Tight seating when busy, Busy strip mall location

Ya, I’d come back - Edit
Place had a bit of a aged, weathered, and dirty feel, as did the connected strip mall. Went around 2pm so was pretty quiet. Got the chicken fried steak, fried rice, and a peking duck dish. LOVED the mock chicken; fried and perfect crispness. Fried rice was good, but a little charred(?). Not sure what the chefs tricks are, but damn, that duck was too authentic for my taste. Really had the texture of a fatty dark meat. I think dark meat lovers would dig it more than I. Anyway, staff was nice and friendly, also gave us hot tea on the house for forgetting to bring it out. Not the most flattering of places, but food is very good. Pricing in the 9-10 bucks a plate, but good large portions. Will stop by again if on that side of town.

Cute and cozy little spot we went today in celebration of mother's day with my daughters and granddaughters. The food was absolutely delicious but one of the servers was not the most pleasant. I do understand that there was a language barrier but the younger guy seemed to have somewhat of an attitude.

Vegan Pho & Oysters - Edit
This place has delicious food in an unassuming environment. I have eaten at this restaurant about 5 times so far and every time it has been great. They have great mock meats dishes but also all vegetable dishes. I suggest for people to try to the mock fish pho soup or the vegan oysters.
Read moreIf you come here for the first time I greatly suggest you dine in versus take out, a lot of the staff here do not speak english very well and you might have a hard time ordering for the first time over the phone.

Delic vegan food - Edit
Super delicious. Get the vegan tofu meat, pieces of fried tofu in a brown vegan "meat" sauce. There are a few things on the menu I don't like, i.e. the rolling ham. So I usually stick to my favorites.

First visit was today and I can't wait to go back! - Edit
This place is a bit out of the way for me but I am so glad that I made the drive out today! The service was very quick and the menu was huge! There were so many options to choose from - you could easily get something completely different for many, many visits.
Read moreToday we got the fried dumplings as an appetizer. They were great. My husband, who usually isn't a fan of dumplings, ate two of them!
From the entrees, our party ended up ordering the sweet and sour pork, fried rice, and the vegetable and vegan meat medley on fried noodles! Steamed rice came with one of the entrees, so there was more than enough rice to go around. Everything we got was extremely fresh and full of flavor. The portions were huge - we ended up having to take a bunch home!
The sweet and sour pork was the group favorite today. I also loved the mushrooms in the vegetable medley. Cannot wait to see what the other dishes taste like! You are definitely getting your money's worth here.
Pros: Great Value, Great Flavor, Friendly Staff

Good food - Edit
We had dinner here and the food was good. We had one faux meat dish with rice. The sauce was very tasty. The other dish was a vermicelli dish did not impress us that much. The food was served quickly. The price is reasonable.

Excellent Vegan Chinese - Edit
I visited Quan Yin while on a business trip to Houston and really enjoyed it. The menu is huge, and filled with many items I used to enjoy before going vegetarian 9 years ago, such as cashew chicken, orange peel chicken, kung pao chicken/shrimp, etc. I had the vegan sweet and sour pork and hot and sour soup. It was so much food and all delicious. The soup especially impressed me because I used to really like that as a non veg. And I thought since it was under the appetizer menu it would be a small portion, but it could have been an appetizer for a whole family (I actually wish they had a smaller option because it can be hard to deal with leftovers while traveling). The sweet and sour pork was delicious, but note that as at many Americanized, standard Chinese restaurants, there were really not many veggies with my protein dish (some pineapples and slices of green pepper). Anyway, this is not a health food establishment, nor is it fancy, but I had an excellent meal very reminiscent of non vegetarian Chinese meals I used to eat.
