Been here many many times as it's a close go to for me. Many of the dishes are vegan when choosing the tofu option for protein. If it's not obviously vegan ask! The servers are generally very knowledgeable. Egg rolls = vegan and don't skip these, they're sooo good! Dan Dan mien - can be made vegan with smoked tofu replacing pork - another one of my favorite dishes

I haven't even visited this kitchen yet, but I have investigated the place and it is a Communist Kitchen of the Former President of the People's Republic of China "Mao Tse-Tung" Long live Mao! Look up his biography on YouTube, he had errors, although he soon turned his nation into an advanced society!

We had the kung pao beef and sesame yam. The kung pao beef was ok, nothing exceptional. The sesame and yam was really delicious, the fried tofu complemented the thin slices of yam really well. The staff was very

Good food, huge portions. Only one waitress for the whole place (she even bussed the tables) but she was great! Bare bones, nothing fancy, just plain good and reasonably priced.

I'm so glad this place is still here, as it brings me a lot of nostalgia from my old days living in Venice. It hasn't changed a bit since 2010, which is great. The restaurant is super accommodating to different dietary choices, like vegan and gluten-free, because they make everything from scratch. Loved the hot and sour soup and mapo tofu. Plus even the rice puffs they put on the table are gluten-free! AND, the food was super affordable for the quality and portion size. The female employee who took served on Saturday night was so kind and helpful, and I was thrilled that the vibe was so chill at 5pm (only a few people sitting inside, but many take out orders).Vegetarian options: anything can be made vegan/vegetarianDietary restrictions: just let them know your dietary preferences/needs and they're accommodate them
