We finally dined in at Zhu Vegan after years of wanting to come here.. tucked on a busy street with limited parking (unless you are lucky) on the street.. we went in for lunch and the ambience was decent nothing great or bad.. there was only server at the time and she did her best with whatever communication she could muster. We ordered a dumpling, soup and entree.. the waitress could have warned us prior to ordering the entree that it comes with an optional soup ($3 extra).. the food was decent .. nothing exceptional.. I personally preferred a bit more flavor .. overall a decent place to dine for vegans.. the lemon grass hot and sour soup was great, dumplings average, tofu delight was bland and mushroom seitan was decent

I have been a vegetarian for 3 years me and my family feel so lucky to meet this vegan restaurant.
Best sweet potato fries ever-crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Autumn rolls served with the spicy sauce are tasty. LOVE the fried noodles / Udon – especially the smoky, savory flavors and aromas of stir-fry. Sesame tofu is amazing with an amazing sauce Can munch on forever! It tastes a little bit like the orange chicken but is more delicious.
Ingredients are fresh. Quick service.
Can’t wait to order again and check out other dishes! Highly recommend to non- vegetarian/vegan friends as well!

This restaurant totally hit the spot for lunch today. The vibe was warm and inviting, and the lemongrass soup was a total game-changer. The broth was so flavorful and refreshing, with hints of ginger and spice that really kicked things up a notch.

I haven’t left a review in years but after eating at Zhu Vegan I had to. I saw the fried ice cream and had to come but this place but everything we ordered far exceeded our expectations. The orange seitan, mango soy protein, scallion pancakes, and soy nuggets were all fantastic. Everything was fresh and perfectly fried. Honestly can’t wait to come back to try more things, and it’s not pricey either. My fiancé and I both got appetizers, entrees, drinks, and deserts. Their ice cream is probably the best vegan ice cream we’ve ever had. For context my fiancé has been vegan 9 years and I’ve been off and on the past few years.

It’s wonderful to have this restaurant nearby as a vegetarian. We had the Singapore noodles, soy cutlet sizzler, and tofu delight. Everything was delicious. Will be returning!

Where do I start, great vegan food or a really really rude server. The owner is pretty nice and patient, but the young woman who works with her is too rude. She left our table in a middle of the conversation. I had ordered a soup and an entree without being aware that the entree for lunch comes with a soup. I asked if I can cancel the soup that I ordered, but she was too rude and left the table.
Apart from that, the food is really good. A budding vegan restaurant, and I would not like for it have such bad reputation. It is too rare to find a good vegan Chinese restaurant like this.
Get eggplant kung pao and mushroom seitan. Their seitan tastes really good.

Trying to eat more vegetarian these days…. This place is such a gem. Nostalgic Chinese-American flavors, their General Tsos “chicken” is AMAZING!! The food is very flavorful and leaves you feeling light. I am very impressed vegan food could taste this good.

Amazing food, I got a soy milk tea with passion fruit, scallion pancake, and Malaysian curry stew. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Being vegan does not feel like a drawback at all. I highly recommend if you are in Arlington!

I really enjoyed this place. This was my first time here and I got the spring rolls and sizzling soy protein which comes with a miso soup and brown rice. All was delicious and the sizzling plate was an exciting treat. I wasn’t sure what the soy protein was going to be like since I’ve never had it but it was so good! The texture was kind of like chicken with a very satisfying bite. I love that everything was vegan — it’s so rare that I can go to a restaurant and have such a large selection of things to try. I can’t wait to go back.

Calming, relaxed, casual dining experience. Get to eat classic Chinese-American fare with a vegan take on all the dishes.
Not a vegan myself but I can assure that you can’t tell it isn’t meat.
Only downside is the place needs to serve some white rice. Yall Asian, don’t tell me all you have is wet, soppy brown rice.
