| - Don't be put off by this tiny little restaurant and it's lack of decor! This is the best example of Chinese vegetarian food in a "hole-in-the-wall" setting. Think of it as a home that has been converted to a Chinese restaurant - no gaudy decorations, just a simple shrine and a cold case and a couple of chairs and tables.
I don't know about you, but when I think of vegetarian, I think "gimmick" and "overpriced" and "small portions". This is not the case in this eatery. The food is very reasonably priced and the portions are huge. Most of the time, I go in, and I come out with a couple of day's worth of food.
Wanna know what to Order Here?
1) The Marinated Seitan: This is what's hanging out in the cold case by the door. There's sweet and sour, spicy curry, and mock duck. Everything here is fresh and pretty tasty. (Seitan = using gluten to make fake meat for the texture....)
2) Hot and Sour Soup: Okay, this is the star of the show. Delicious, rich, and a lot of umami (savoury) flavours. It's great for people who miss the meat, because this is a great meaty tasting dish - although the spice level can blow your head off sometimes.
3) Three Kinds Mushroom Chow Mein: This eatery knows how to toast the noodles on both sides for better crunch, and also, this is a lot of mushrooms on the stuff. If you thought you didn't like mushrooms, think again!
This eatery is definitely not a "first date" experience, but it's a great place to hang out with close friends or on a budget. (Watch out for the entrance and the steps of the storefront, I've actually slipped and slid on this multiple times!)
* This eatery is not accessible to people using mobility adaptive equipment - it's way too small for most of these devices to be used!
