Must visit

I think it's a must visit if you like Chinese food. They have a separate vegetarian menu with plenty of options. Everything was tasty. Very central location close to Bullring.

MUST VISIT

Such good quality food. So many options with full separate vegetarian menu. The platter is great with potato dumplings, gyozas, spring rolls and prawn toast.

Good vegan options

Separate vegetarian menu which is mostly vegan. Good food. Nice inside, and usually not very busy. Almost too quiet at times.

As of Jan 23 the Google maps locator pin on Happy Cow is not quite in the right place. Restaurant is further up the road about 100m opposite the car entrance/exit to the multi storey car park.

So friendly and so many options!

I went here on a stay over for work so I didn’t get any photos and I didn’t want the colleague I was with to judge me haha!! But it was all really yummy, they literally have ‘mock’ everything! The highlight was the mock duck pancakes!!! Would definitely go again when away there for work!

Pros: Loads of vegan options , Friendly staff

Great variety of Chinese vegan dishes

When we entered and were asked right away if we were vegetarians I knew this was a good place. They have an extra veggie menu (the majority of dishes probably vegan as well), not only just a vegan page, with loads of sides, mains and desserts, especially Chinese dishes that are normally not served in common restaurants or are hard to find, such as the veggie/vegan prawn on toast. Great food, staff/owner was lovely, pretty interior, portions were filling and prices were very reasonable. Definitely recommend this place.

Delicious vegan Chinese food

Soo nice to be able to eat all your old Chinese takeaway favourites but vegan! Definitely get the crispy aromatic ‘duck’ - it was absolutely incredible. Portion sizes are very generous as well.

Previous reviewer said cash only but we paid by card so that’s obviously changed in the past year.

Only downside was the service was really slow as there was only one lady serving the whole front of house when we went.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Generous portion sizes , Decently priced

Cons: Slow service

This is actually the Soya Café

I've been coming here for years as it has an impressive vegetarian/vegan menu. Cheap prices but huge portions and really good quality food. The only downer is that it's cash only

Pros: Cheap, huge portions, tasty

Cons: Cash only
