Visited recently with a group of friends, it too a fairly long time for all of the group to arrive and decide what to order but the staff were pleasant and never pressured us into ordering quickly. We ordered 8 dishes from across the menu. The braised aubergine was particularly good. The crispy chilli 'beef' had a nice sauce but I couldn't taste or see any beef strips, it was just like crunchy strips of fried batter. The other dishes were really good, and the fake egg (in the rice) and fake meats/prawns in the other dishes were really flavoursome. Food was served quickly - 5/10 minute wait for each course - the restaurant was about half full at the time. The food was good value at 100 for 8 dishes and drinks. This place used to have a buffet and I'd love to see it return so I could try more dishes.

On a weekday night: “Chinese for dinner?” “Yaaaassss!!” This isn’t very common for a vegan couple as you all vegans know. Sure, there are Yauatcha and Tofu Vegan out there for some expensive Dim Sum meals, but when you just want some affordable, quick and delicious “Egg Fried Rice” and “Sweet&Sour”, your local Chinese spots don’t usually have vegan versions. Lucky for us, this place is less than 30 mins on foot from ours, perfect distance for a little walk to digest all the deep fried goodness we just had. Ngl, their food isn’t something of a Michelin starred restaurant, but they are perfect to satisfy our Chinese food cravings. The staff were also super friendly.

We couldn’t have chosen a better vegan restaurant to go for dinner tonight. We had a great surprise. Not just the prices are very reasonable but the quality of the food is amazing, such a good presentation and taste is so worth it. Want to mention the place was absolutely clean and the customer service was impeccable. Lovely people working there. Thank you so much, we’ll definitely come back again soon.

This place is a quiet restaurant where the service is quick and efficient. The food is great, it's been lovely every time we eat in or get take away.

Very nice Chinese vegan food, good service and very fast service! I recommend the starter for 1 person (the first on the menu) it’s very good, but be careful it’s almost like a full portion

Ordered some takeaway last night as I was in the area. I had the mixed starter, *chicken with ginger and spring onion, and the *lamb in black bean sauce. Everything was really tasty save for the sesame toast which we felt was a but lack luster and the seaweed which tasted a bit greasy but everything else was spot on and I would definitely recommend a visit/order. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and the staff were friendly, it's collection only so unfortunately not close enough to be a go to for me but if you live in the area your in luck as you have a very nice veggie Chinese on your doorstep, so go enjoy!
