Generous portions & large vegan menu – similar to other plant-based Asian restaurants in the area (Golden Lotus, Nature Vegetarian) but still with a distinctive taste.
We got: onion pancakes, vegi-chicken w/ braised tofu and veg, and vegi-beef fried rice.
The onion pancakes are STUNNING – v savoury scallion pancakes. The vegi-chicken was delicious though everything else was just OK. The fried rice was unfortunately underseasoned but decent with a dose of extra MSG. Very generous portions!

Delicious vegetarian food, super affordable and huge portions. Very welcoming family running the place, they gave us a sample dessert from the kitchen at the end of our meal

I’ve been a big fan of Long Life since 2012. Local mom and pop spot with one of the best lunch specials in the Bay—$15 for delicious hot and sour soup, spring roll, and a huge plate of delicious vegetarian food. My go-to is the broccoli “chicken” add mushrooms in spicy garlic sauce. Sooo tasty.

Food looks like the vegan version of panda express but actually tastes pretty good. The owner is very friendly, but the place looks/feels a bit run down.

All vegetarian, can be made vegan. Squeaky clean new facility, family run with pride and enthusiastic service. Paper plates, not trying to be Chez Panisse. Very fair prices. Street parking. Look for address, sign in front is small. I love these family run ethnic restaurants. Went to old location for decades.

Greeted by the kindness of the lady at the front, I found solace in the restaurant’s convenient location. During my recent visit, I indulged in the Hot and Sour Soup, a culinary revelation that surpassed all expectations. Each spoonful danced upon my palate, evoking sensations of warmth and delight. In this culinary oasis, every detail resonates with excellence, inviting patrons on a journey of taste and discovery.

Food is beyond amazing, non-vegan partner asks to go here often. Service is fast and so friendly. They often serve the food in to go boxes, but literally the food is so amazing, that does not affect my review at all.

The best vegetarian Chinese food anywhere. I’ve been going to veggie house for decades. My family and I can’t go to Berkeley without getting some of their food. The staff is also the sweetest 🙂

The restaurant specializes in vegetarian version of meat Chinese dishes. One of the best places for vegetarians. Although I eat most kind of meat, I did like the vegi-chicken. Its nowhere like real meat but it tastes good. Also has lot of seafood options.
Crab Meat Corn Soup (imitation crab only) is delicious, one the best soups I’ve had in recent times, its that good!
Broccoli Vegi-Chicken is amazing because of the sauce they use.
Mu-Shu prawns were okay, personally I like soft meat and they weren’t.
Eggplant Fish Clay Pot was also okay, there was nothing fish-like in it.
