I always have such a pleasant experience here. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always smiling and making you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. The food is nice, warm and satisfying. (I do have to say the sesame chicken batter was extremely thick and tasted like a fried donut which I didn’t love.)
One thing I do want to mention respectfully is the bathroom. Unfortunately, it often smells strongly like urine, and not in a way that seems like someone just used it, it smells like it has been stuck on the floor for a while. It’s very unpleasant to experience right before a meal. Because the bathroom is such a small space, I think it would really benefit from a deep reset…removing everything, fully disinfecting, and then checking and cleaning it regularly throughout the day.
I’m sharing this because the people and the food are truly wonderful, and this small improvement would make the overall experience match how great everything else is.

Overall a great experience at this pure vegetarian gem in NY Chinatown. We enjoyed the Dim Sum.(BBQ bun was delicious). The dumplings were dry and didnt feel too fresh.
For main course or Kung Pao chicken was very tasty (but we didnt like the overload of a cubed crunchy vegetable in this dish).
The vege lamb stew was also delicious along with hot wok tossed fried rice.
Highly recomnend this place !!

Wow what an absolutely delicious meal!!
We had planned to visit this place when we looked at Chinatown from the UK before our visit and it did not disappoint. We were welcomed with a pot of complimentary Green Tea which was really appreciated given it was -5C outside.
We ordered a Low Mein, Sweet & Sour ‘chicken’, the Buddah noodles and another noodle dish and all 4 were sublime. Good size portions, fresh vegetables, all delicious and with very different tastes.
The service was attentive and friendly, we asked to tip and were told it was included – we managed to get them to rebill with a bigger tip as we were paying by card and they were so appreciative.
1 star deducted for atmosphere as walking through Chinatown there were so many intricately decorated places with lanterns etc – but really if you’re a veggie / vegan (or just like good food) this is the place to eat
Go there and try it!

Mapo tofu rocks,
Usually all chinese places give a liquid like water with tofu, but here it’s so savory, flavor filled, spicy and up for grabs!
The cedar fried rice tastes awesome, usually has a motor oil/wok taste to it – but thats what I bought it for.
Tasty chow fun, mild, flavor rich and yummy.
Beef coriander soup was okish.
Don’t get the dumplings, they seem fresh but just have a bland doughy taste.

Great spot for veg Chinese food in the heart of Chinatown. You must order the General Tso chicken it was the standout dish – super tasty, great texture, the brocolli was also delicious with it. We also had the ho fun with mixed veg and the fish with mixed veg. Noodles were great, fish dish was less my type since it was quite gingery but if you like ginger you’ll love it. The actual dish and mushrooms in the dish were super tasty. Also portions are huge!

Many vegetarian, vegan, kosher and gluten free options but the food was just okay, I can imagine coming here if you can’t eat elsewhere. General Tso’s was pretty good, peanut noodles were watery. Soup dumplings had no soup

Came here with a friend during the summer, we ordered the Buddha’s Delight (罗汉斋) and Veg. Prawn with Walnuts (素沙汁核桃虾). Really good, I come here for lunch and dinner if I’m in Chinatown! The staff is very friendly.

We loved it here, great food, good portions and heaven for vegetarians. We had the tofu with mushrooms and the “lamb” with vegetables and garlic, and we’re having a difficult time deciding which is better.

We got the gluten free beef chow mein and it was a very underwhelming dish. They straight up brought exactly that and nothing else. No vegetables in the dish, no soy sauce and no chili sauce. For the cost, a little crazy. We had to channel the vegetables previously cooked in the same wok through the noodles to pretend to enjoy it. A little effort in dish would have gone a long way. When you order ask what else is in your dishes before trusting the menu. I get simplicity but for $20 bucks that was under simple.
