***USP: decades old Chinese vegan place with mock meat based dishes.
***AMBIANCE: place is not very large and has stood the test of time. It’s in need of some deep cleaning but is definitely very decent considering the age and the fact that it’s run by a very old couple.
***FOOD: here is what we got-
*black pepper chow mein- 3/5- lacked oomph and some kick. The “chicken” was more like tough pieces of soy. The noodles need a bit of char.
*schezuan eggplant and green beans: 3.5/5: I love this dish and try to order it at every Chinese restaurant I visit even if it’s not a pure vegan restaurant. The eggplants in this dish oozed out a lot of oil which wasn’t very pleasant. The overall dish lacked a bit of flavor as well. Green beans lacked a crunch.
Rounding off to 4 as the place seems to be run with a lot of love by an old couple.

The food is AMAZING! Alice is the nicest person ever. We had a wonderful time. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been able to choose from a menu instead of just selecting the one vegan option they have. It was overwhelming in a good way! Thanks Alice for being so wonderful!

Just the most well seasoned made to order food I’ve had recently, I am a vegetarian but I’m so blown away by the flavors here. Pictured is the Singapore noodles & I also had there pan fried dumplings which are homemade & just perfect. What a gem my new favorite.

Garden Fresh is a fabulous VEGAN restaurant with a great selection! Our favorites are the Szechuan Eggplant, the Basil Tempura, and the Scallion pancakes. We also love the Hot & Sour soup and the Corn & Tofu chowder! The owners are lovely! They cook & serve all the food themselves and are completely delightful & attentive. Highly recommend!

This place is so delicious! I’ve dined in and gotten take out and it never misses! Their scallion pancakes are the best way to start a meal, and it’s a great place to take your vegan and vegetarian friends! The server is so nice and remembers me and my order even when it’s months between visits 🙂

I like to try to support local restaurants whenever I eat out and today I stopped by Garden Fresh. They absolutely deserve a shout out and I encourage anyone to try their food.
The co-owner Alice and I got to talking about food scenes, tofu, cooking, and her and the chef were just beyond kind and generous.
I ordered some vegan orange chicken and veggie chowmein. Even though I didn’t order it, they kindly gave me some vegan cake and some special tofu to try as well.
Everything I had was phenomenal,They didn’t have to do all of that, and they went above and beyond. Just wanted to share because they are great people and I hope their business does well.

Wanted to try this place out seeing the good reviews but found this disgusting big worm in my Tofu take out today.Threw away the rest of the items as couldn’t trust them.
Horrible hygiene standards. Never coming back.
I hope they take hygiene and food quality standards seriously as it’s a big risk to a customer’s health and safety.

Mountain View only has one fully vegan restaurant and this is a great one to represent for the veg heads out there. Run by a small family, we felt right at home with their service and great food.
We ordered three entrees and some brown rice on the side to share. Each dish was about $16 so average pricing for the area.
The Basil Tempura was highly recommended and we did enjoy the spices they used for the dish. I thought it would be a bit crispier given that it’s tempura but they do add on a light sauce, making it more of a stir-fry consistency.
We also tried their Dry Braised String Beans with Soy Chicken and this was another standout. Like the previous dish, they do go a bit heavier on the sauce than I’d imagine so it’s not a fully dry stir-fried dish, but a great one nonetheless.
My favorite dish was their veggie ribs which was essentially their take on beef and broccoli. Their use of mushrooms here as the beef was ingenious and the meaty texture of it made it taste very realistic.
Thanks Garden Fresh for being the lone fully vegan restaurant in the area. You’re definitely a keeper.

If we could only eat at a single restaurant for the rest of our lives, it would be Garden Fresh. We recently moved to Southern California, but make a point of visiting as often as possible. Alice is so kind and the food is exceptional!
