Delicious. I'm vegan. Nothing was clearly marked so it was a gamble. But everything was great. We ordered the potstickers which were fried and great. The vegi chowmein. Good, not alot of veggies. Or friends got the spicy green beans which were super yummy.

The best vegetarian Chinese food around! I always go for the wonton soup. They have an awesome variety of meat substitutes. Recently had an issue with my pickup order, and the staff went above and beyond to resolve it
This place is a total gem. It’s has a peaceful atmosphere, the staff are kind, and the food comes really quick. Ive brought meat eaters here as well and they are all surprised how good the dishes are. The lunch specials are also such a good deal! Definitely recommend!
I recommend a visit! Very calming and auspicious. I had the sesame vegetarian chicken and was very satisfied and happy to enjoy a flavor I haven't tasted since I went vegetarian 6 years ago.
This is my low key favorite restaurant. You can take meat eaters here, and they may never realize there's no meat. Absolutely get the free tea and honey walnut prawns
This is absolutely gourmet food! A must try is the Roast Duck which is thin layers of tofu, mushrooms and a crunchy slightly sweet skin. In season pea sprouts are bright green and fresh, cooked with a choice of ginger or mushrooms . We will order a huge complete feast, then have a lot to take home. We bring our own containers and enjoy it for almost a week as lunch or even breakfast. The Vegetable Mushroom Chow Fun comes piping hot and delicious with a variety of mushrooms and bok choy in a savory gravy. The Won Ton soup in a flavorful vegetable broth with carrots cut into hummingbird shapes and fresh bok choy is unrivaled anywhere. Other favorites are BBQ Pork Fried Rice, Chinese Broccoli with pork ham, Sweet and Sour Pork and Chicken Chow Mein. Mind you, this is all completely vegan. There are even fluffy soft pork bau buns which I order to go. The chef is so skillful that even my meat loving husband loves this food. The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, peaceful and the staff are always welcoming. We are truly blessed to have a restaurant like this in the Bay Area.
Edit: New dish alert! The talented chefs at Nature Vegetarian have created a steamed sticky rice dish with a vegan pork filling that is piping hot and delicious and a deep fried pork dumpling with a crispy rice shell that is such a special treat. Please view photos
My mom is Chinese and has very high standards for Chinese food and she gave this a 5/5, so I feel compelled to leave a review. Basil eggplant dish was exceptional, and the vegetarian wonton soup was great too. Reasonably priced as well!
One of the best vegetarian restaurants I have been to!
I love the food here! Great people too!

One of my favorite places to eat. Buddhist establishment owned by Ling. I’ve eaten most items on the menu. Great every day.
This place gave my boyfriend and I food poisoning, Quite sure it was norovirus. We ordered from here on Valentine’s day. 6 days later and still suffering :(
Really well made and well spiced food with plenty of options. I can't comment on the meat substitutes (I usually just eat vegetable dishes) but the selection is large and the execution is lightning fast.
The service itself was great, really personable & attentive. I did not care for the taro cakes, and it is really cold inside. I do like the veggies proteins & the eggplant dish I got.
Really delicious, very friendly service, and great variety on the menu. I love this spot!!
