“Wow what an absolutely delicious meal!! We had planned to visit this place when we looked at Chinatown from the UK before our visit and it did not disappoint. We were welcomed with a pot of complimentary Green Tea which was really appreciated given it was -5C outside. We ordered a Low Mein, Sweet & Sour ‘chicken’, the Buddah noodles and another noodle dish and all 4 were sublime. Good size portions, fresh vegetables, all delicious and with very different tastes. The service was attentive and friendly, we asked to tip and were told it was included - we managed to get them to rebill with a bigger tip as we were paying by card and they were so appreciative. 1 star deducted for atmosphere as walking through Chinatown there were so many intricately decorated places with lanterns etc - but really if you’re a veggie / vegan (or just like good food) this is the place to eat 👌 Go there and try it!”

“Great spot for veg Chinese food in the heart of Chinatown. You must order the General Tso chicken it was the standout dish - super tasty, great texture, the brocolli was also delicious with it. We also had the ho fun with mixed veg and the fish with mixed veg. Noodles were great, fish dish was less my type since it was quite gingery but if you like ginger you’ll love it. The actual dish and mushrooms in the dish were super tasty. Also portions are huge!”

“The place had everything tasty and flavorful.. all vegan menu with amazing staff.. constantly smiling and helpful It was a gateway to chinese food”

“Came here with a friend during the summer, we ordered the Buddha's Delight (罗汉斋) and Veg. Prawn with Walnuts (素沙汁核桃虾). Really good, I come here for lunch and dinner if I'm in Chinatown! The staff is very friendly.”
