Mixed impressions - Edit
I organised a birthday dinner here with some friends, as the birthday girl was interested in Tofu Vegan, but they are closed on Mondays. The food was good, but the service was abysmal. Food came at different times, so two of us were basically done before the other two even got their food. My drink came towards the end of the meal too, though I ordered it up front. I had the crispy duck, which came with a generous and very tasty portion of ‘duck,’ but only 4 pancakes, some piddly shreds of a spring onion, cucumber and a huge pile of shredded iceberg lettuce. Disappointing for nearly £17. They do not serve alcohol, but you can bring your own. Corkage is £5 per head, so if 4 people share one bottle of wine, it’s £20 corkage, which is outrageous. When the bill came, they informed us they could only accept cash that evening. No one carries cash these days, so it was very disappointing to not be told up front. The waitress said she didn’t want to lead with that, and thought it netter not to mention payment until the end. What kind of logic is that? I had high hopes for this local place, but left very disappointed.

Awesome vegan restaurant! - Edit
Visited this place for the first time recently because my go-to local vegan restaurant closed down and I wanted to try a new place that wasn’t far from my house!
Read moreIt did not disappoint! The food was delicious, the staff were lovely and they even gave complimentary “prawn” crackers!
The menu is also huge so you’ll be spoiled for choice!
Pros: Amount of options, Tasty food, Great service

Disappointing - Edit
Very hit and miss. Last two times i have ordered they have made mistakes with my order including adding things i specifically said not to add, and also getting part of my order wrong. I also have had hair in my satay skewers once which was gross.

Great meal and kind service - Edit
Met my old friend here and we had a lovely and delicious lunch, wait staff was so kind. I had the hot and sour soup which was delicious, potstickers, Szechuan "chicken", which I loved. We sat in a large comfortable booth and I also had a carrot ginger juice which was fresh. I would highly recommend this place.

The Best Vegan Chinese? - Edit
So, we've always loved the Loving Hut and this used to be one ages ago. They have improved this great formula extending and refining the menu. Over the years we always tend to end up at Zen Buddha to meet with friends: there is something to suit everyone from health-conscious-whole-fooders to junk-food-junkies.
Read morePros: Massive menu, Fish and Chips with Chinese, Also serves wholesome brown rice.

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.

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.

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

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
