  • A Chinese Vegetarian place with a massive massive vegetarian menu. There is a separate menu of Canadian-Chinese-fusion dishes for those people who insist on eating meat. Order off this and get what you deserve. If you behave yourself and stay on the vegetarian menu - you get a) a massive menuload of choices b) very very fresh cooked just perfectly al dente vegetables c) a realization that the menu is not really as big as you think because 48% of the menu is taking those vegetables and putting a different sauce or stock on them and 48% of the menu is taking various forms of Chinese veggie meat and putting the same stock or sauce on them. d) some oddball sauces. We had 48% of the menu veggies in a "Portuguese" sauce - which turns out to be a chinese white sauce with massive amounts of turmeric in it to make the sauce traffic light yellow. Like any Chinese white sauce dish the food is bland and comforting. Chinese white sauce's job is to moisten the food to help it go down while maintaining the original taste ... sort of like a more all natural more socially desirable form of msg. the strategy really worked and the veggies were mild but yummy. The yellow color was a constant source of amusement. e) a few really really oddball dishes. we also had vegan spare ribs with strawberry sauce. vegan spareribs are tempura batter made really really thick so the "sparerib" is two to three inches high cylinders of pure fried batter. Inside is a very thin very small rectangle of vegan pork. the strawberry sauce is a very restrained only slightly sweet only slightly strawberry mild drizzle. my bet is they took strawberry jelly and mixed it with white sauce at the rate of 1:30 or less so the strawberry adds just a soupcon of sweetness and a bit of color. vegan spareribs are not at all "good for you" the way dishes in an asian vegetarian restaurant are supposed to be. i chowed mine down quite happily. f) a chinese vegetable soup which was the same 48% of the menu vegetables in a mild vegetarian stock. the soup was fine. *** if you like your Chinese food to have massive taste sensations - so you like Szechuan red vegetables with 900000 tons of chinese pepper, or American-Chinese orange chicken with an overpowering comforting sweet and orange taste - i.e. if you are a chinese food rock and roller and you like your food to blast you away - then this is not your restaurant. if you like subtle flavorings on very good vegetables, then this is a fine place. Sometimes we eat vegetables to calm down and restore ourselves to our purer nature. You can do this here without having to go macrobiotic veggie pious spartan.
