I should start with a disclaimer: I'm a big meat eater. My friends nicknamed me carnivore in high school because of it. When my mom said she wanted to try a vegetarian place I was hesitant to say the least but this place definitely didn't make me miss the meat. The star off was mainly for the uncomfortable chairs and tables and that it wasn't really "gourmet" cuisine.
We got the assorted gluten and bean curd ($5.50), veggie steak with BBQ sauce ($8.99) and fried rice with tomato and cream sauce ($10.99). We also asked for less oil and no msg which is always a nice option to have since Chinese food tends to be on the greasy msg-y side.
The portions were good for the price and we only finished about 2/3 of the food with enough leftovers for the next day.
I love assorted bean curds so no complaints there other than they could've cut the pieces a little smaller so it'd be more bite size. Big dish for $5.50 too!
The "steak" with BBQ sauce was pretty good too. The texture was very meat-like and it had pineapples, celery and green/red peppers. There was a little too much sauce for my liking but that's just personal preference.
I liked the rice the most out of the 3 dishes. The sauces were made well and the rice was flavourful and fragrant. There were these imitation squid pieces on the cream side that I can only describe the texture in Chinese but I really liked it.
They also give complimentary dessert soup and we got the cashew flavour. All their dessert soups are homemade and you can definitely tell. It was delicious. So good we got the walnut dessert soup ($4.50) to bring home for later and it was amazing! Nothing like homemade dessert soup.
There's so many different dishes we will definitely be back to try more!
