Delightful food and an equally delightful staff! The atmosphere was incredibly calm and all the staff workers were very kind, warm, polite and helpful.
I ordered the (Vegan) General Tso's Chicken & the Duck with spring rolls and dumplings. Portion sizes were quite generous, especially on the veggie side of things. Awesome bang for your buck.
Clean ingredients all around, nothing heavy. Distinct flavor while also being subtle and not overpowering. Unique hearty textures.
As a bonus, there's a lot of reading material available if you want to boost your enlightenment education and the books are free if you'd like to take any readings with you.
As other reviews have stated, you do place your order with someone virtually, like a teams/zoom call, so be prepared for that.
All in all, A+ experience and I would definitely return here. Maybe the sweetest crew I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with. Always love having a serene dining experience with delicious, light food!

I ordered takeout online for lunch. It took around 30 minutes from when I placed my order to when it was ready.
It was a little confusing arriving at the restaurant because the employee isn’t there in person, but you talk to them through a screen. They do have tables and chairs, but it’s small and seems like more of a takeout place.
I ordered 2 appetizers to try: the Indian pancakes with curry sauce and the fries with kimchi and spicy mayo. The pancakes and curry sauce were good. It was like a paratha. The curry sauce was more liquidy than I expected, because I was imagining a thicker Indian curry from the title, but it was flavor-packed and tasty. The kimchi spicy mayo fries didn’t have kimchi from what I could tell, it just seemed like fries coated in a spicy aioli. But they were so delicious! Even with the sauce coating, the fries were still crispy and the sauce was a little sweet, a little spicy and a little savory. I’ll definitely get them again.
Finally I got the lunch special, which came with brown rice and hot and sour soup. I chose the curd with black bean sauce for my entree. The portion size was huge and everything tasted good.
Overall I felt like this place was a great value for the cost.

So there is no live person at the counter and I saw a roach crawling on the screen! The lady on the screen of course could not see it because she wasn’t there!!! And it was dirty! #Veganuary

Very good food, very humble people, there is some stuff that can be improved but overall food is good and tasty. There are tons of delicious vegan options, basically the best and only vegan restaurant in the area.

I searched yelp for recommendations on vegan food and this place was one of many. I walked in to find the dining area to be near and tidy, rhe have a good selection of books if you want to take home to read. The Asian decor is attractive a my d peaceful.
I'm not found if virtual customer service but I will say that I am impressed with the virtual hostess as this is my first experience at a restaurant!
I'm really new to vegan and I am so amazed at the variety that I'm getting. It's so different and new.
Vegetarian options: Very friendly and I think you get a yelp gift at check in. And the ad says free parking. I don't know how that works.

This small unassuming family run restaurant has delicious homemade vegan food. It was a lovely experience speaking to the kind woman who makes the food. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.. Also, thank you for the books.

This is the best vegan Chinese restaurant in all of Queens. My favorite dish is taro and mushroom soup. I remember once I was down with a sore throat the soup was tasty and curative. Now this is my go to dish at Amitabha vegan. You can find it anywhere. Also wonton soup is amazing as well.

I’m giving it 1 star because the food actually tastes good here, but…. They tend to mess my order up quite a few times, always forgetting part of my order, that is why I stopped going there for a while. I started going back again and wanted to order today since it is the 1st of a new month on the lunar calendar and they have specials on the 1st and 15th of every month on the lunar calendar, at least that’s what I was told before. But when I tried to order today, the lady on the phone said that the special happened last Tuesday, which is not any type of special vegan day. I told her I would call back, hung up, double checked my lunar calendar, and called her back and her response was that it is entirely up to the owner. That I understand, but you should and need to let the customers know, which they did not and that there is unprofessional.
