This place was excellent! We came back again, visiting from AZ. Appetizers, Thai tea, soup, meal and even dessert were so good. Try cute family business, with exceptional quality food. The second time we came, I believe the 2 sons served us. They were very excited to be there. I wish I lived closer; I would be a regular.

Delicious vegan chinese food! I had the tofu delight and scallion pancakes from here at a catered event. The tofu delight was so good that I was actually worried they used beef broth in the sauce before learning the restaurant was all vegan. Scallion pancakes were wonderfully crispy as well. Highly recommend!

I haven’t left a review in years but after eating at Zhu Vegan I had to. I saw the fried ice cream and had to come but this place but everything we ordered far exceeded our expectations. The orange seitan, mango soy protein, scallion pancakes, and soy nuggets were all fantastic. Everything was fresh and perfectly fried. Honestly can’t wait to come back to try more things, and it’s not pricey either. My fiancé and I both got appetizers, entrees, drinks, and deserts. Their ice cream is probably the best vegan ice cream we’ve ever had. For context my fiancé has been vegan 9 years and I’ve been off and on the past few years.Vegetarian options: Everything

Good serving and portions. I'm not a vegan person, just friends invited to check the place. Overall not so bad but not sure whether I want to go there for more experience.

Zhu Vegan: so fresh (even their basic salad is 'fancy' because it's so fresh. Scallion pancakes: perfect and not a bit oily. Eggplant dish; so beautiful and delicious. Thanks for having great miso soup on the menu. Lovely service. Will be going there again, for sure. Affordable, too. Great experience.

Wow - got delivery and it is incredibly fresh. Veggies are cooked through and have good body, even ones like zucchini and broccoli that don't always travel well. Appropriate size (small) on the rice that comes with meals. Loved the Malaysia dish. Definitely are putting this in our rotation.

I love Chinese food and this place is incredible. I don't even miss the meat! I often go with friends and it's required we go when my vegetarian daughter comes to town.

I'm not currently a vegetarian, but thought I would try this place which is near my home. I enjoyed all the food, which I picked up for takeout. The entrees I tried were the Malaysian curry tofu and the orange seitan, which were both good. The lemongrass hot & sour soup was pretty good. I thought the miso soup was ok but not as tasty as what I typically get from Japanese restaurants. I'll probably try this restaurant again and check out some of the other dishes.

A couple of appetizers that are really nice; the king oyster mushroom (fried) had a nice texture. There was also a fried triangle samosa, with squash or sweet potato inside.

We took out a bunch of food from here tonight for the first time. There were five of us eating, and we shared many tasty dishes. I am wondering if there is MSG in this food? It tasted very sweet and in certain of the dishes, a little gummy, and candied. Most of what we got though was very delicious and we enjoyed sharing everything.

Zhu is a Vegan restaurant with a lot of potential to do better. Wish the waiter has a little better personally.
