| - I SO wish we had the vegetarian options that Toronto has in the Denver area! Don't get me wrong, we have places, but a completely vegan/vegetarian Chinese restaurant with a huge menu? We do NOT have these. That explains why me and my boyfriend ordered so much food for just the two of us. We thought, when are we going to get this chance again?
We ate:
"Chicken" drumsticks - about $7 for six drumsticks - comes with a sweet dipping sauce; good texture (I don't know how they get the skin that way) and no funky taste to the (soy? wheat gluten?) meat
Extra small hot and sour soup - extra small is basically a cup of soup; very tasty!! Lots of various ingredients and great flavor - I would order this again in a heartbeat; $3.50
BBQ pork bun - this is basically char sui bao (sp?) - very tender bun with the classic sweet taste you expect; this was better than some regular ones I've had!! $1.50
Shrimp dumplings - from the dim sum menu...these were just okay; very fresh, but they don't taste like shrimp $3
Teriyaki seitan - tasty, but don't believe the menu, this dish is not at all spicy; it ran about $13
Spicy eggplant - this is a tasty dish; the strips of seitan and bits of shiitake mushrooms are my favorite parts; but, the eggplant is tender and delicious; about $11
Tea: we drank a small pot of the Osmanthus Fragance Dancong, an oolong tea. It was very lovely, floral and smooth. I highly recommend this! $5 for the small pot
Neither of the two mains came with rice, which we thought was odd...but since we were stuffing ourselves, we didn't feel it necessary to order yet more food. The servers were extremely nice, and the overall experience was great.
