I was excited to try this place after so many years but I guess there was a good reason for that. Firstly, when we were ordering the food (in-person) the person working there was a bit rude and rushing us. She told us it will take 10 mins at least so we waited outside and when we went to pick it up she just handed me the bags. Only when we got home did we realize that this does not look like what we ordered. We ordered 4 things : vegetarian ball & & cashew nut (i asked her if it was a sauce and she said yes), fried noodles with mix veggies, fried rice, and kung pao chicken. The fried rice barely tasted fried, the noodles weren't cooked properly and frankly it looked sloppy the way they just put the noodles and dumped the veggie and sauce on top. However, what was really infuriating is that we ordered a vegetarian ball but there was no ball... just mushroom and cashews... and then the kung pao chicken looked exactly the same. I've attached the images because if you ordered those items, would you expect these?We thought maybe they gave me the wrong order by accident (even though when she saw me she immediately shoved it to me). Therefore, we called them... no response. We went all the way back there to ask and it was locked.. no one was there. Mind you this was around 6:50pm.. they say they close at 9pm. I was at least hoping to give this a 2 star rating but the food was not good at all. I don't like writing negative reviews but this was just an overall terrible experience and wanted to warn people before wasting their money.

Love the soup noodles and veg dishes! Amazing and been going there since a child!

Been going there for 25+ years. A great non-meat bunch of tastes

Tastes so good! Would get it more often if I lived closer!

The server was a little rude and the foods were super oily. However, the taste was still good. We got the mock duck and fried noodles with three types of mushroom.

Been going here to eat with my family since I was little and been ordering most of the staple items consistently. Love their flavor and food. The stuffed bean curd, fried chow mein with mixed vegetables, and vegetarian dim sum are musts! Every time I order takeout here it brings back good childhood memories.

The best vegetarian food I've ever had. You would never guess it wasn't.

This restaurant is my favorite site. Of all restaurants I know I prefere it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to visit this place. everytime I feel like having a good supper, this restaurant comes immediately to my head. excellent and all kinds of food and a rich menu.courteous crew, and pleasant vibes. Not less important, the expence is good. I praise this place with no doubt.

Absolutely in love with their tray of an assortment of mock meats made of bean curd. No clue what it's called in English...with that said, little signage (if any) in English inside the restaurant. Tray of assorted mock meats are ready to go as you order.I haven't been very impressed with the rice and noodle dishes though. Very mediocre. Their stir-fry with mock meats are more worth your money. I don't know how to describe it, but they prepare the same ingredients (bean curd, tofu, etc.) in different ways and thus achieves varying textures. It's quite amazing.
