Veggie Garden

Had high hopes for this place but I was a bit disappointed. The menu is extensive and I had fun picking out some of my favorite dishes. However I ordered sesame chicken and it just tasted like sweet and sour chicken. Didn’t look very appetizing either. The wontons were mentioned to be in chili oil but they were drizzled with a sweet sauce that overpowered the dish. It was giving fusion vibes and not in a good way. Then I had a side salad and all together with rest of my dishes, the restaurant was just… all over the place. I can’t give the cuisine here any real identity, which makes the flavor profiles weak. The beef and broccoli was the best thing but it had the fake meat taste that made it really hard to enjoy. Sauce was tasty though. I want to return and give it another try, but for first impressions, I’d say go in with lower expectations

Vast menu of vegan Chinese food. Sweet & sour pork had great sauce but meh fake meat, basil eggplant and tofu was excellent, scallion pancakes were crisp and tasty, pot stickers and spring rolls were good, and the vegetable fried rice was truly outstanding. Service was prompt and efficient. Atmosphere very informal with soothing soft music in the background. I’ll definitely go back again.

This place is a find for vegan dining in the Bay Area. They have a large menu and they serve Americanized Chinese vegan food. We got the pepper chicken noodles, dumplings and hot and sour soup. The soup and the noodles were outstanding and the dumplings were pretty average. The place is clean and the service is great. There is plenty of parking around and seating inside.

Got takeout from here. The Basil Eggplant is straight 🔥. I enjoyed the Kung Pao Chicken as well. Some of the other food (Chow Mein, Hot and Sour Soup) was good but not exceptional. Would order from here again!

Basil Eggplant & Garlic Eggplant 10/10. Perfect texture, as it has a little firmness to it and the sauce is light and savory. I prefer the basil over the Garlic because the basil flavor was stronger. Kung Pao Chicken 10/10. This is the best dish you can order. Chicken is moist and flavorful. And the veggies taste great with the spicy sauce. There is NO sweetness in this dish, which meets my palate. Chicken Chow Fun 8/10: This is NOT the same chicken from the Kung Pao. It is what you would expect with noodles, vegetables, and stringy, spongy fake meat. I recommend the Black Pepper Chow Mein if you are looking for noodles because it has a rich sauce. General Chicken: 7/10: I would say these are meatballs rather than chicken. The texture was not crisp enough. I would recommend throwing these things in an air fryer oven for 10 minutes and then eating them. Once Crispy, it is much more enjoyable. Black Pepper Chicken 7/10: Same meat as the General Chicken but more flavorful due to the sauce. However, quantity is much lower than the General Chicken. Veggie Duck 5/10: No flavor. Just bland raw meat as if it's a chewy steak with no sauce. I do like the bean curd though. I wouldn't recommend this dish though.
