This place is a staple Chinese takeout spot for reliable quality, quick service, and affordable large portions. Both their vegetarian and meat options are tasty and consistently delicious! Although the owner is busy and brief, she is a kindhearted woman running her business well.

Best vegan Chinese food!! Yes, the owner is a little rude, but that’s part of the experience!! So get over yourself…. This place is charming, the experience is unique, and the food is good and cheap. Updated from previous review on 2025-12-16
The woman who works here is very rude. She forgets Chinese restaurants are a dime a dozen. Her complaint was people order and don’t pickup because there are so many China Panda’s in Richmond and once they find out it’s her address they decide it’s too far. This is the source of her attitude while she shovels white rice into containers and ignores customers right in front of her—aka me and another person. Not sure why that was instantly my problem but I took my business and money elsewhere because while I can’t control her ignorance, I can control where I spend my coins. The restaurant could use a health inspection so take that into consideration when frequenting this place (flies, tomatoes and scallions sitting on counter near customers, newspapers littered everywhere, just a tornado of hot mess).

Ordered Chicken wing combo with shrimp fried rice. 2 shrimp roll… they didn’t give me my rice just chicken and rolls. They are incompetent and not so friendly. Not ever going there again.

Probably the worst Chinese food I have ever purchased. I did not say eaten because it was so bad we couldnt eat it. This was in 2023 and things can change but saying I was disappointed is an understatement. How about disgusted?

Most everything I've had here is great, but the Mongolian Beef and Moo Shu Pork especially, are amazing!
Wow. The woman who runs this restaurant is aggressively rude. Like not even regular rude. lol But she’s mean.
I know I’m a stranger to anyone reading this but I swear I’m a nice person who doesn’t abuse ppl in the service industry. I don’t abuse anyone in any job or any capacity. But I used to be a server and bartender when I was younger so I’m extra compassionate to those in this industry. I eat out like twice a week. I always tip a lot.
I didn’t respond to her rudeness even. Like I didn’t match it. I just rolled with it but she wouldn’t stop no matter how passive I was.
I’ve never had an experience with anyone like this. It was so bad I couldn’t even finish placing my order. For a split second I thought about just tolerating her abuse but then I thought if she’s this annoyed with me then do I really trust that the food is going to be good? No. And I definitely didn’t want to actually show up and deal with her in person.
After how nasty she was on the phone I was like what if she berates me in person too. It was literally minutes of her just being nasty and then ramping it up and ramping it up more.
Based on the other reviews, it seems like service is not their forte.
Best Vegan Chinese food in Richmond.
Got the mock chicken and the mock beef. Both were incredible. Flavorful and HUGE portions for the price. Best spot if you’re vegan or vegetarian in Richmond.
Finally found a decent Chinese restaurant with a large vegetarian selection! Will definitely order more in the future
