It was my first time eating vegetarian Asian food and I was really impressed with the quality. I got the Buddha Bean Curd Roll (the outer wrapping had a bite to it, similar to cabbage rolls) and the BBQ Vegetarian Meat Bun. The rolls had a nice savory and slightly sweet sauce, and the buns were very soft with a very sweet savory filling (some flavors in it of black sesame paste). The prices are quite logical too!

Note that dimsum is only served until 4pm. The menu is so diverse and there are so many options. My favorite was the duck and stuffed bread (I believe it was in the appetizer section). I also ordered the ribs in black bean sauce and was really disappointed. The texture was weird and flavor bland. The tea is amazing! Aside from the ribs that I described earlier, I loved everything, and definitely recommend it. It's pricey for dinner. Lunchtime is cheaper.

Great imitation meat! The sesame chicken was delicious as were the dim sum appetizers. Would recommend staying away from the vegetable options (mapo tofu was a little bland and I would have replaced eggplants with an imitation meat option)

Food was excellent, especially the orange chicken and bbq meat special fried rice. Comes with complimentary tea which was nice touch. Service could have been improved but overall well worth a visit, absolutely delicious vegan Chinese food ?

We stopped in to eat while visiting the area. It's a nice restaurant, we had good service, and I loved the food. Delicious! We had spring rolls, vegetarian orange beef, and vegetarian pineapple chicken fried rice. Yum!

Good price and quality. Service was very fast and with a lot of vegetarian and vegan options. Too bad that tofu is not added to most of them without a supplement though. Nice place and kind staff. Tea is excellent and service fees are added automatically on your check (with a very reasonable %).

This was such an amazing restaurant! I am not normally a tea drinker but the tea they served was delicious! All the food was beautifully presented, great portion sizes and prices, and absolutely scrumptious! I came for my birthday with my family and it was a really nice atmosphere! The art work was really stunning (especially the one with the house on the fish:) the staff were very kind and patient. I highly recommend this restaurant especially if you are vegetarian, lactose intolerant, or gluten free. They have lots of great options for people with dietary restrictions. Thank you to all the staff for making my birthday very special!

Quiet and delicious right in the heart of Chinatown. Free tea. Get the ribs with black bean sauce special. It's literally the best thing I've eaten in forever. Baked meat buns and dumplings were delicious as well. Definitely try to go before 4 so you can order from the Dim Sum menu. All vegan dim sum is a dream come true.
