OMG best Dim Sum ever - Edit
Their dim sum is beyond reproach.
Read moreThe Siu Mai is definitely the main event. The turnip cake is da bomb and my second favorite. The pork fried rice is my girlfriend’s favorite. The soup dumplings are wonderful as well. You can’t go wrong with any dish.
And yes, it’s a Vegan restaurant within a non-vegan restaurant. And yes, this is the worst economy we’ve seen in decades. So, if wonderful vegan food is served in a less then optimum location so be it. Would you rather they didn’t exist instead?
You can insist at any time day/night to sit in the Vegan section.
Pros: Siu Mai, Turnip Cake, Pork Fried rice

Dim Sum - Edit
So happy to find dim sum! It’s in a regular dim sum restaurant so it’s awesome to have a side vegan menu when eating with omnivores! Everything was pretty delicious.

Vegan inside a meat serving restaurant - Edit
They definitely have a vegan menu, but I don’t know if the cooking area is separate for vegan food. The dim sum
Read moreIs excellent and very filling. As usual, I completely overestimated how much I could eat so ask the server if what you order is appropriate. Finding parking is horrendous! But the food is worth the effort
Pros: Very filling , Large portions, Good variety
Cons: Expensive , Inside meat serving restaurant

Delicious Dim sum! - Edit
I love vegan dim sum! They have a parking lot, dbl Park and run in and grab your food!! This place is great, just make sure u choose to-go as the restaurant sassy foods is housed in is not vegan. My faves are the lotus leaf stick rice wraps, siu Mai, biff meatballs, cucumber and oyster salad, and anything without chives/onions! Delicious! I've tried most of the vegan menu and it's bussing! Get a crew together and reserve sassy food dining area for a treat! PRO TIP: when ordered directly from main restaurant (ImperialGarden), stay at top of page and slide menu to VEGAN dim sum! Only look in this section!! Staff is super friendly and helpful. Products come in sustainable containers marked vegan. I peeled the vegan stickers off and placed them on my car 😀

Didn’t like it - Edit
The separate vegan restaurant room is only open on weekends when they have enough vegan customers to do so. We went on a Friday at lunch and had to sit in the seafood restaurant, with big tanks of fish and other aquatic animals waiting for their fate. . . The food was extremely greasy, although we did ask ahead of time whether the vegan options were fried in the same oil as the non-veg and were assured that they now have separate fryers. The “noodle rolls” we just very mushy, but we’d never had something like that before and didn’t know what to expect. The vegan shiu mai smelled so bad like a non-vegan item that none of us could eat more than a bite. The fried tofu was only large blocks of soft tofu fried in a huge amount of oil, with a bowl of soy sauce to ladle on. I think it all might have been too “traditional” for us. Maybe if you grew up eating Cantonese food, it would have been good, but we didn’t like any of the dishes we tried. Except the sweet sesame balls, but those are usually good anywhere. Would not go back, even on a day when the separate vegan room is open. Your mileage may vary—if you love trad Cantonese with no American influence, and you don’t mind the “Beyond Meat” taste and smell, you might be OK with this place.
Read moreCons: Didn’t like any of the food , In a room with animals waiting for their demise , Greasy and bad smell

Oh , gosh, great dim sum in a mixed restaurant - Edit
with fish swimming in an aquarium
Read moreSassy foods owner, has dedicated vegan kitchen area at this seafood restaurant.
The food is made with love.
The Chef gave SF Vegan Society a great dinner party for 50 people. It was amazing.
Many people didn't know you can also order a takeout. The Chef decided to give away any extra food such as the MOCHI pastries. I guarantee this place is good. oh, Take out available
Pros: variety, yummy, all hand made

Vegan Dim Sum on San Bruno! - Edit
*****FIVE STARS, see note below*****
Read moreI LOVE this place, top notch vegan Dim Sum and Asian comfort food.
*****I’d like to note that this IS an all vegan restaurant. I guess the fact that they are next door to their sister restaurant Imperial Garden and perhaps share kitchen space with them is what gives it the “vegan options” tag on Happy Cow? Everything on the menu at Sassy Foods is vegan, they are doing their best to run a vegan establishment. I think it deserves to be listed in green as such on the app. If anyone accidentally gets served a meat dish from next door obviously that title would have to be stripped from them, but it is a separate room from Imperial Garden with an all vegan menu and no smell of meat or fish*****
