⭐️ Food 5/5 ⭐️ Service 5/5 ⭐️ Ambiance 5/5 I have been looking for a go-to Chinese restaurant for many years and this will definitely be my new spot! Not only was the food absolutely delicious, the service was warm, friendly, and polite. I was happily surprised that everything that we ordered had the perfect flavor and texture. I have been vegetarian for over 10 years and I will say this has to be one of my best experiences for both vegetarian food and Chinese food. Both of my children are meat eaters, and could not even tell the chicken wasn’t actual chicken! They have specific taste buds and this place had my kids happy and wanting more! Also, the portions and pricing is good. We had lots of leftovers even with full bellies ☺️ Thank you to the staff for your kindness and delicious food! We will definitely be back for many visits and lots more food 💗

Stopped here for lunch, and probably one of the best vegetarian restaurants I've been to. The food was excellent and fresh. The portions were large, especially for the price. Highly recommend.

The best vegetarian Chinese food around! I always go for the wonton soup. They have an awesome variety of meat substitutes. Recently had an issue with my pickup order, and the staff went above and beyond to resolve it

I recommend a visit! Very calming and auspicious. I had the sesame vegetarian chicken and was very satisfied and happy to enjoy a flavor I haven't tasted since I went vegetarian 6 years ago.

This is my low key favorite restaurant. You can take meat eaters here, and they may never realize there's no meat. Absolutely get the free tea and honey walnut prawns

This is absolutely gourmet food! A must try is the Roast Duck which is thin layers of tofu, mushrooms and a crunchy slightly sweet skin. In season pea sprouts are bright green and fresh, cooked with a choice of ginger or mushrooms . We will order a huge complete feast, then have a lot to take home. We bring our own containers and enjoy it for almost a week as lunch or even breakfast. The Vegetable Mushroom Chow Fun comes piping hot and delicious with a variety of mushrooms and bok choy in a savory gravy. The Won Ton soup in a flavorful vegetable broth with carrots cut into hummingbird shapes and fresh bok choy is unrivaled anywhere. Other favorites are BBQ Pork Fried Rice, Chinese Broccoli with pork ham, Sweet and Sour Pork and Chicken Chow Mein. Mind you, this is all completely vegan. There are even fluffy soft pork bau buns which I order to go. The chef is so skillful that even my meat loving husband loves this food. The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, peaceful and the staff are always welcoming. We are truly blessed to have a restaurant like this in the Bay Area. Edit: New dish alert! The talented chefs at Nature Vegetarian have created a steamed sticky rice dish with a vegan pork filling that is piping hot and delicious and a deep fried pork dumpling with a crispy rice shell that is such a special treat.

My mom is Chinese and has very high standards for Chinese food and she gave this a 5/5, so I feel compelled to leave a review. Basil eggplant dish was exceptional, and the vegetarian wonton soup was great too. Reasonably priced as well!
