| - The place is one of my favourite Chinese vegetarian places because it is so centrally located. Located on the south side of Gerrard street just a little east of Logan the place is a little hole in the wall. It sits by itself the only restaurant in the area. It is a simple square box with a few square tables and two bigger round tables. The staff hang out at the back of the restaurant always eager for customers. Everything about the place is bare and spartan, except for the food, which is always delicious. The menus, laminated place mats have a selection of Chinese vegetarian options and a small sheet of specials. There are appetizers, soups, casseroles, main dishes, noodle dishes and rice dishes. We ordered the hot and sour soup, some deep fried mushrooms, ginger eggplant, sweet and sour pork, curry gluten, MaPo tofu and Shanghai noodles. Everything arrived hot and delicious with way more food than we needed. But one of the joys of such places is the sheer quantity of food that arrives. We enjoyed all the dishes, especially the deep fried mushrooms which are always yummy fried salty nibbles, but found the MaPo tofu too watery and bland.
