LOVE Yuan Fu! It's my favorite restaurant - Edit
fresh vegetables
Read moreeverything is vegan - It's just so easy to eat here.
I've been eating here since 2001 - consistent quality, competent service.
staff has good suggestions (basil tofu hot pot was their suggestion & became a favorite).
Take out or eat in, the quality is good.
Pros: delicious, lots of options, ALL VEGAN!!

Adequate - Edit
I guess I was hyped by all the great reviews. I had the fried curry dumplings and the steamed dumplings. You couldn’t really taste anything in the curry dumplings, but the steamed dumplings were pretty good. I’d have that again. Then I had the eggplant/mushroom dish, everything was deep fried and some items were charred. I guess that was to add flavor but I didn’t think it added anything. The entree seemed a bit bland. I would consider giving it another try, but with lower expectations.

Steamed dumplings were a 10/10. So tasty and filling.

so unique!! - Edit
wow they got really creative with their food!!! you have to try this place. it's like nothing vegan I've ever had before. the "meaty" textures were perfect. the "duck" was made from fried tofu skin with watercress, mushroom, and seitan. the seitan "pork" yu shang was an enormous portion! there must have been 60g of protein or more on that plate! The staff was super friendly. the food came out FAST, even though he restaurant was completely full. it wasn't expensive. highly recommend!!

I thought they were a fully vegan restaurant. Do you know what they have that’s not vegan?

What a treat! - Edit
I ordered a few appetizers for dinner. The wonton soup was very good with a delicious, flavorful broth and came with a plate of fried wonton strips which were a crunchy treat.
Read moreThe filling in the fried (or steamed) dumplings was a very tasty mince of mushrooms and tofu. There was also a very generous amount of filling. I didn’t care for the dumpling dough though—whatever butter substitute they use had a bitter aftertaste that overpowered the delicate filling.
The stand out appetizer was the tan tan (dan dan) noodles. The owner (who is very warm and welcoming) makes the spinach noodles by hand! They were tender and cooked perfectly. The noodles also had a wonderful spicy flavor. I highly recommend the tan tan noodles if you enjoy a little spicy heat.
Pros: Tan tan noodle appetizer , So much variety , Warm and friendly staff

HUGE variety - Edit
This restaurant has pages and pages of authentic Chinese meals veganized. A vast majority of them are heavy in the vegan meat, but they do have a couple of veggie-forward options.

This place is a gem - Edit
Living in Ashburn Virginia, I find myself heading out to Maryland for dinner because I just don’t want to cook. Yuan Fu is absolutely fantastic. Tonight I had the Pumpkin duck with mushrooms in a hot pot. Very good but so is all their food.

Nice experience. - Edit
Overall I'd recommend this place but I didn't love the dish I ordered. I should've gone with the tofu option over the "chicken" general Tso's entree. I look forward to checking it out again in the future.

Wanted to like this place more - Edit
While the food was good, it wasn’t great. For the things I’ve tried: the black mushrooms were really good, the kung pao tofu and Szechuan green beans were just ok, and the sesame chicken was super dense (so much so that the middle of it was bland). If I’m craving Chinese I would rather have Vegetable Garden right up the road.
Read moreCons: Just ok
