Hit and miss quality - Edit
Used to be a regular but the quality is very hit and miss these days. That and the prices have gone up a lot and are not justified by the quality.
Read moreSometimes I love the food and others I regret buying it as it’s very bland and the sauce too watered down, ruining the taste.
The udon noodle soup is my go-to now. I have had much more luck with that dish than say veggie chicken in black bean sauce, which I used to buy a lot but not anymore after a few bad experiences.

What a find! - Edit
We had an overnight stay in Borehamwood as a family minibreak and this was the closest option that popped up on the HC app. We felt very welcome here! All of the food is cooked fresh to order, nothing disappointed. There is a full vegan menu of around 8 pages! Never been so spoiled for choice. Everything was delicious and we will definitely return 💚
Read morePros: Wide variety of vegan foods, Welcoming environment , Fresh food cooked to order

Amazing! So many options - Edit
The experience was great. Went with my partner and we enjoyed every single thing we ordered (he’s not normally vegan and is doing veganuary, but he still loved it) The portions are really generous, we ended up taking a lot away, but it’s great as now we have dinner for tomorrow

Recommended for lunchtime buffet especially reasonable - Edit
When we lived in Barnet this place has a different name but though the name was changed the fabulous vegan food has not.
Read moreIt's best value is for the lunchtime buffets which obviously are not possible currently but we went a year ish ago and had a great lunchtime meal..
I recommend this if you want to endure you have a Chinese type meal without fear of it having meat or its products in it.

Great omg - Edit
I'm not used to having so much choice! It was great, even my non vegan fiancé liked it and said it tasted like the real thing. I'm definitely going to get some of my family to have some of this food.
Read moreHad the crispy duck pancakes, chicken and corn soup, and Kung po chicken with brown rice.
Pros: Everything is vegan, Just like a normal Chinese take out place
Cons: I haven't tried the whole menu yet, will update, Can be quite busy and thus slow

Excellent steamed tofu in black bean sauce - Edit
My go to Chinese takeaway as i live in Edgware and I'm a big fan of their steamed tofu in black bean sauce (one of the better black bean sauces I've had!). Also enjoy their tempura broccoli too.
Read moreSlightly pricey though. Also run out of brown rice quite frequently which is annoying
Pros: Vegan Chinese food, Black bean sauce
Cons: Pricey, Occasionally run out of brown rice

Worth a visit - Edit
I've been here a couple times, once for the lunch buffet and once a la carte. The buffet was ok, good value but as with a lot of buffets - it wasn't very hot and it was quite small in comparison to others. A la carte was better, the char siew was amazing and I'd go back for that alone. Spicy mock chicken was also pretty good.
Read morePros: Lots of mock meat options
Cons: Some items are hit and miss, must experiment

Expensive(ish) but worthwhile Loving Hut 🥈 - Edit
This is my local chinese takeaway which I have enjoyed over the years.
Read moreThey offer buffet at lunch time and also stuff from the menu at lunch and dinner.
Overall the place is reliable, tasty depending on your preferences - you might have to try it afew times to find the items you really enjoy to eat, i recommend the "lamb" which is a very nice and hearty stew. Can't go wrong with those udon noodles! 😋🍜
Pros: Amazing variety of meat/fish alternatives, Nice buffet at lunch, Friendly environment
Cons: Can get a bit pricey off the menu

Amazing à la carte all-you-can-eat. - Edit
This is worth the voyage out to zone 5 (the station is accessible on the Northern line, but the restaurant isn’t - please buy a portable ramp!) It used to be run by a cult and I’m not sure if it still is or not... but on the flip side, it runs an amazing à la carte all-you-can-eat. For the princely sum of around £18 (which is a lot but not for what you can end up eating), you can order two dishes at a time and have them brought to you endlessly. I love it. A lot of very fried food and great meat alternatives.
Read morePros: À la carte all-you-can-eat, Lots of great meat alternatives, Vegan dim sum!
Cons: May still be run by a cult? Unsure!, No wheelchair access - buy a ramp!, Very deep-fried

Really good classic Chinese food. - Edit
I’d normally go there when in a rush and need to grab something on my way so the buffet take away menu is the best option around. There aren’t many 100% vegan places in the area so I am really thankful for this one. I’ve never tried any “proper” meal from the menu but I’d love to go there for the dim sum one day since I’ve heard many good things about it. It’s a good place if you’re new to veganism/vegetarianism and need it get your “meat” fix since they serve a variety of vegan “meats”. Even my father who is a committed meat eater said their “beef” tasted really authentic.
Read morePros: Affordable , Buffet , Variety

Hey, this place is great! - Edit

So many great options at this restaurant! Extensive menu that offers a variety of items. Not the most authentic place (no chopsticks) but very family friendly. Doesn't get the fifth star because service was slow and one of the servers was quite rude.

Delicious Food, Lacking Service - Edit
The food and options here are lovely - not even just standard Asian vegan either. The buffet is fantastic, especially as a cheap, filling lunch.
Read moreLoving Hut is let down by it's customer service, which is rushed at best and frequently useless.
Still, as long as you don't mind the lack of service, this is a great place to eat vegan and I return frequently with appropriate expectations.
Pros: taste, choice, variety
Cons: service, buffet often low
