Vegan Friendly and Vegetarian food - Edit
Amazing place to sit down and achieve a true state of Zen. It is a peaceful little Japanese style restaurant. Everything on the menu is Vegetarian with a lot of Vegan options to choose from.
Read moreMy staples to order are:
Soy Drumsticks, Soy Nuggets, Crispy Soy Fritters, Assorted Seitan Platter and lastly my most favourite new addition: Honey BBQ Pork which is a Seitan style meat alternative with Maple Syrup used to mimic the Honey sauce with a side of broccoli or Boy Choy as I've had once before.
Inexpensive, filling and delicious food with fantastic service and environment. I will never be able to satisfy my taste for Zen Gardens. I'll return here for the rest of my life quite happily.

Very solid option - Edit
I really enjoyed my dinner at Zen Gardens. While I'd prefer to see more vegan choices available, what I was able to eat was delicious and reasonably priced. Yummy dumplings, solid seitan and a lovely box set option which comes with tons of food. The tom yum soup was the only thing I didn't enjoy. Very nice setting and a super London option.

Good London Option - Edit
In town for a few hours and the doctor recommended. It's decent. My parents (meat eaters) disliked it. They are usually 70/30 liking vegan food. It's standard fair for this Torontonian, but it's a real good option for veg heads in London... (and yes, beware the fake meats that contain egg or whey!)
Read morePros: vegan options, good location, been around for a while
Cons: choose dish wisely

Excellent selection and terrific food - Edit
We went to zen garden while visiting a relative in London recently and we really enjoyed the experience. Very nice decor and excellent food. Everything was delicious. If you're vegan and concerned about whey or other ingredients - just tell the server, they will be more than happy to help you choose vegan items.
Read morePros: variety, Yummy food, Decor is attractive and modern

Wow! - Edit
Ok, I'll admit that at first I didn't want to try it. Chinese is not my thing usually. I expected some greasy spoon operation hawking veggies chicken balls out the back. Ok, so I was expecting the worst. Thankfully I was dead wrong. It's a charming restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. It's already vegetarian to begin with and the menu specifies what's vegan and what's hot with verying degres of spice. The servers are very warm and very friendly. And the food is delicious. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone veg or non. Try the lappa (sp?). It is by far the most delicious thing I've ever had in a veggie restaurant.
