All I can say is Wow - this was my first time trying a vegetarian restaurant and I really enjoyed it. I avoided veggie restaurants in the past assuming the food would be sub-par and only for salad and broccoli lovers - I was wrong.
ATTENTION MEAT LOVERS - you will enjoy the food here, just give it a try!
Thanks to Val G. for organizing the "Git your Greens On" UYE and JK for encouraging me to go - I will definitely eat and enjoy vegetarian food again.
Since we were a large group, we ordered lots of different dishes to share. Pricing is incredible - It worked out to approximately $12 a person. A quick recap of what we ordered:
- Hot and Sour soup: very good but maybe a little too much tofu for me.
- Mixed veggies - Fresh veggies cooked perfectly, I could eat this with rice and be a happy camper.
- Deep fried lemon chicken (but not really chicken): surprisingly good and tastes somewhat like the real thing. The lemon sauce makes for am excellent pairing.
- A dish that reminded me off Sweet and sour Pork (but without the pork): Loved it, tasted like the pork version but much healthier for you.
- Curry noodles: Also a great dish and the imitation beef looks & tastes like real meat - how the hell do they do that?
- Eggplant and tofu: Good fresh eggplant - so tasty. Not super oily like many traditional chinese restaurants.
- We ended with a a final tofu dish (kind of like a soup) - the only dish I wasn't too crazy about.
A delicious meal at a great price - what more can you ask for? Added bonus - meeting some cool new yelpers.
