Delicious!!! I got so full off appetizers I didn’t even get to try an entree. But when I tell you the shrimp dumplings & the BBQ meat buns… are to die for - I am not kidding. They remind me of the duck buns I use to enjoy before becoming vegetarian. This hit the spot! The dimsum I did not enjoy was the sticky rice it was bland but still worth it. They also offer discount if you pay in cash & serve you hot tea the moment you sit down which really helps warm you on cold days. 10/10

Great atmosphere in Chinatown. The waiter spoke a mix of Chinese and English, which made communication a bit challenging, but looking back, it was a fun and memorable experience. They have an enormous vegetarian menu, unlike anything I’ve seen at similar restaurants. The prices are super affordable, especially for NYC, and the portions are huge. We ordered one main dish for each (two people), but quickly realized that a single main dish would have been enough for both of us. Many other people were taking leftovers home, which would have been a good option if we weren't staying at a hotel. Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious, filling vegetarian food.

This is a cute little restaurant serving vegetarian and vegan Chinese food. The place is bright and clean. The waiters are friendly and speak English. I've ordered many dishes and in my opinion, the vegan chicken is the best meat substitute! I find the vegan pork meat to be very soft and unappetizing. I really dont get why some people like it. The flavor is just okay. I recommend the chicken flat rice  noodle, pan-fried noodles with chicken, and chicken stir fried thin rice noodles. The chicken has a nice char flavor and texture is medium firm. The overall prices are moderate to expensive for what it is. Unlike most restaurants in the area, this place accepts credit cards, which is a major plus!
