It has a nice patio and nice Chinese artwork, good service by friendly and helpful staff. A wide range of vegetarian food with mostly vegan options and impressive authenticity, presentation, flavor and ingredient quality.

Went with some friends so I got to try a bunch of things since it was served family style. We had a good time, liked everything, but our favorite dish was definitely the Veggie Crispy Noodles. The rest of our order was Hot and Sour Soup and Laughing Buddha Delight. I really liked the soup and if you’re vegan be sure to see if egg is included or not since many of the soups have egg flower broth or egg white broth. I do wish that there was a more even ratio of noodles to veggies. All of us had plenty of vegetables but would have liked more noodles. The cups of tea are HUGE. Sitting in the back patio is very comfortable

I personally am not vegetarian, but came here with a Vegan friend so we could eat out together. We were both thoroughly impressed.
I eat a lot of Chinese food and I really enjoyed all of the dishes. They all had depth of flavor and were distinctly different. I was especially happy with the green beans – this dish traditionally is made with minced pork but instead it’s got a bit of a twist with jalapeños. Sooo good and honestly better this way.
Also loved the longevity tea.
My vegan friend was really happy with the meal and said he’d be back for sure.
The staff was attentive and very kind. Flexible and super knowledgeable of the menu.

A hidden gem, I love to both eat in and get take out. They make vegan and vegetarian wholly satisfying and delicious! Their service is also very friendly and the patio is tranquil. I especially like the general tsos “chicken”.

Wow can’t believe this was my first time here. Dining in the patio is so nice! It’s covered so you don’t feel hot outside, it gets a nice breeze. It’s very pretty. The food is so delicious and the serving sizes are generous. Friendly service too!

Very yummy vegetarian food. The tofu in their clay pot dish was spectacular. I also really enjoyed their lemongrass, eggplant, mushroom ball and tofu dish. The mushroom ball had the exact same texture as a fish ball. The dish was lacking in lemongrass taste though.

A great neighborhood ma & pa gem offering vegetarian and vegan Chinese food. Food is tasty and reasonably priced (similar to other vegan Chinese food restaurants). The back seating area is eclectically decorated to create a garden like atmosphere, complete with flowers streaming from the rafters. It’s funky and zen vibe gives that 1999 Bay Area vibe we all miss.

We’d been meaning to try this place for over a year, but honestly, we were so burned out on the usual veg*n Chinese spots around the Bay that we kept putting it off. I’m so glad we finally went—because wow, what an incredible surprise.
Every single dish we tried (two entrées and three appetizers) was beautifully seasoned, full of flavor, and genuinely delicious. The variety on the menu is impressive, and for once, we didn’t hit a single miss. Everything just… worked.
If you’ve been feeling underwhelmed by other veg*n Chinese options, or just want to try something new, this spot will absolutely renew your excitement. Highly recommend. We’ll be back soon.
