“ At first sight it’s a very unassuming restaurant one might not see, but after stepping inside I knew it was going to be great. The food was amazing, the staff are nice and orderly, and the vibes are immaculate. If I had any gripes, and it’s not even a big deal, some soft ambient music would be nice just so it isn’t so still/silent. Wonderful, wonderful restaurant. Will absolutely be returning. ”
“ My partner and I ate here after eyeing it for a few months. It was amazing!! We ordered the crispy dumplings, Moo Shi Pork, Orange Chicken, and Lo Mein. Everything was 10/10, and it was so fun as a vegetarian to know I can eat everything on the menu! ”
“ We stopped by for lunch and ordered: bean curd and "meat", crispy seaweed pancake, three cups tofu, and fried curry triangles. We enjoyed all of them. In general, the dishes served here have a noticeable root of Shanghainese cousine. And many of the dishes are simply recreating a well known Chinese dish with mock meat or tofu. There are plenty of Chinese dishes that are vegetarian and vegan friendly by its nature. No mock meat replacement or modification. I wish the menu can include more of those dishes and more light and veggie-centric dishes. ”
“ This place has not changed in the 20 years I’ve been going there, and that’s why I love it. I usually get the same thing every time and it’s great. Today I switched it up, and I’m mad I didn’t do it sooner. New goal- try everything!! Edit: tried more things, was not disappointed! The spicy tofu hot pot was great! ”
“ For those vegan/vegetarian obsessed eaters looking for alternatives to salad rejoice! Yuan Fu is an excellent choice for those wanting great tasting food without the guilt or sacrifice. The restaurant itself is a bit dated but kept remarkably clean. The service was excellent and the food arrived fast. The "pork" and "kidneys" were done really, really well. The family style tofu is a must try - not too spicy. The basil eggplant is succulent and delicious. Definitely recommend this restaurant for all your vegan and vegetarian cravings. ”
“ Delicious vegetarian - vegan chinese food! We have been eating here for over a decade and loving it, highly recommended! ”
“ This is some of the best food I've had. Not just best vegetarian or vegan food, but best food period. Their dishes are simply amazing. The crispy roasted duck and the chicken dishes are so good. I can't wait to come back! ”
“ This is a all vegan Asian eatery. I always try finding these kind of restaurants when I want to eat out. I like having more of a meal experience than sandwich shop experience. As you can see from the menu pictures I posted they have a wide variety of choices of food. I can't say that I liked everything I ate but I still give it a great review because there's a wide selection to choose from and there's always something that I'm going to love. The general Cho's chicken was good. You can always count on the orange chicken and sesame chicken being good. The servers will be happy to explain to you what the dishes are like. Whether the meat is squishy or firm. Stuff like that. We went during lunch so it wasn't really that busy. But the service was good. I recommend chicken steak with portobello mushroom. ”
