Have mercy, this place is awesome - Edit
The food and service are 1st class all the way.
Read moreThe seitan is phenomenal: firm and slightly crispy, not wimpy like you may find in other eateries. Try the smoked Teriyaki seitan strips...Truly the best.
Pros: Extensive menu, Good value

4 stars for being 100% vegan - Edit
This place is pretty far outside of Boston. I don’t believe that there is much else nearby, so, on this alone they are to be applauded. The prices are fair and they have a large menu. I got the steamed dumplings, which were very tasty. I got the General Tso’s Soy Protein, which is breaded and fried soy protein on a bed of broccoli, and smothered in General Tso’s Sauce. It was good, but the sauce was more like sweet and sour sauce or sweet bbq sauce than General Tso sauce. Too sweet for my liking. Still, I ate every bite.

Incredible!’ - Edit
Absolutely love this place. I’m hooked on the Orange seitan meal. It hits a spot that I haven’t had since before giving up meat.

Best vegan Asian in Boston - Edit
I’m a big fan of Zhu. The food and service are both great. They list gluten free options on the menu and online. I wish they’d do less with soy protein and more with tofu, though they’ll switch it out if you ask while dining in. I don’t like anything with a meaty texture. But my only real complaint is that there aren’t enough vegetables! Dishes come only with the veggies mentioned in the menu description. The Singapore street noodles are my favorite, but they’d be better with broccoli! Good location, easy to park, on the 77 bus line.
Read morePros: All vegan, Good for gluten free and food allergies

Fantastic - Edit
It’s been a year since I moved away from Arlington and I still miss this place! I love that it’s all vegan and they have so many delicious options. The lunch specials are an especially good deal. I recommend the soy cutlet sizzling platter, Korean style clear noodles, and sweet n sour soy protein. Nice ambiance and pleasant service. Main courses are a little pricey but they are high quality, generous portions and definitely not something I could recreate at home (really excellent mock meat). Next time I’m in the Boston area I will definitely prioritize a visit to Zhu!
Read morePros: all vegan, delicious, great mock meat
Cons: expensive

I LOVE ZHU'S - Edit
I love, love, love Zhu's. In the past three years, there have been times when I've ordered from Zhu's nearly every day of the week (I'm looking at you, last February). The miso soup is delicious, the rice is cooked perfectly (I'm still wondering how they do it). Everything I've had (except maybe the orange tofu) is delicious. I love the bibimbap bowl, the curry noodle soup, general tso's soy protein. Don't get me wrong, I love Grasshopper, but also hate driving through Allston. You will not be disappointed. I still order from there. For a real treat, dining in at Zhu's is not to be missed, and the Capital Square movie theater one block over helps make this a perfect date night spot.
