We have a long history with this place. We used to go here for years pre-pandemic. We lived by the Lake and lived going here for our vegan Chinese fix. I even used them for catering a work event back in the day. I was so sad that well after things opened back up, they kept their dining room closed and were take out only. To my joy, they have opened their dining room again.
We went there tonight for my birthday. It was every bit as good as I remember it from years ago. The cooks...
Nature Vegetarian offers the best Americanized vegan Chinese food I've been able to find on the West Coast. Their lunch specials are well-portioned for the price, the service is friendly & swift despite often being quite busy, & the options are plentiful. I wish my home city of Portland had a comparable option, but alas our Chinese food options are extremely lacking compared to the Bay Area, among others.
Once you find the menu items that you love, you can't wait to go back! I've had plenty of dishes here that were hit or miss but the ones that I always go back to are; Pork fried rice, sweet sour pork, salt pepper chicken, general tao, and the sesame chicken.
All dishes that are filling and vegan without compromising authentic Chinese food savor. Come, try as many things as you can, and then figure out what you love. Can't wait to come back here on Xmas!
