This is my favorite place to eat and have been going there for years. I was sad to move out of the area, but anytime I'm back, I have to get my favorite Almond Fritters. The fritters are perfectly crispy, the gravy is delicious, and the almonds give a great crunch. All the food here is amazing! We have even converted friend who didn't think a vegan restaurant would be that good. They have loved it! I am a vegetarian with a household of meat eaters. Our whole family loves The Teapot! read more

Wonderful food, service, and ambience! Absolutely amazing tea--as the name suggests! Can't go wrong with anything, but my favorites are general tso's fritters, the Rama garden, and the mango tea. Give this place a try!! read more

We visited on a Saturday evening and were seated right away. The service was good and the food was very delicious. We tried the clay hot pot and the sweet and sour nuggets. Both of which I would be happy to order again. I'm looking forward to trying more of the dishes on the menu, since a lot of them sounded good. read more

Bringing in another year of amazing food at Tea Pot. I've been coming to this place for the past 25 years and it is hands down my favorite vegan restaurant. Even my non-vegan friends love it. Lyle the owner is such a lovely caring person. Always pleasant and friendly. Great place for gatherings. Clean restaurant. read more

Teapot Vegetarian House - Pad Phad Thai Gourmet Chow Mein Gourmet Chow Mein Mandarin Crispy Tofu - Vegan Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Teapot Vegetarian is a family run Chinese vegan friendly restaurant. All of their food is plant-based and incorporates mock meats and sauces many people will be familiar with if they grew up in the States. Everything is designed to be shared family style and portions are pretty good here too. The Laksa was our standout dish. Everyone comes here for it and I could see why - the creamy coconut milk curry broth with noodles and veggies/tofu was spectacular and a must. We also enjoyed the Corn Chowder as that really reminded me of home. Claypot Veggies were way too salty sadly and without the included rice, it felt like something was off. I should probably stop ordering claypot dishes at veggie restaurants as they tend to be very saucy without much else. Service here was very friendly and they took great care of us. It's a relaxed environment and one I'd return to again. read more

I wish I could give a Zero for Teapot. I ordered few dishes via Uber Eats and the food was terribly salty, and I had to dump the entire food in garbage. With how expensive it is to eat in this place, I reached out to ask for a refund, and they agreed but I never saw that refund come through to my account. read more

All dishes taste like soy sauce. Very disappointed. ordered clay pot tofu with vegetables - soaked in soy sauce jewel box - vegetables soggy Satay skewers - dry and hard to chew hot and sour soup - no mushrooms at all read more

We are traveling. We found this restaurant on Yelp. The food was delicious. The owner was nice.

Hot sour soup Best of all that was ordered, perfectly made, but the portion was too small for four of us. We had to ration to a half small cup. For 12$, I expect at least one serving for four. Steamed veg dumplings. Good , but we have had better. Laska Broth was flavorful, but not to the hype I read in the reviews Oyester mushroom florentine. Nice umami flavor, but nothing else, little seasong and spice will elevate this dish greatly. Singapore rice noodles. Curry flavored rice noodles could use more seasong and spice. The ambiance was ok. the service was quick, not crowded. All of the dishes can be elevated with seasoning and appropriate spice. read more

We showed up at about 1pm on a Thursday for a late-ish lunch to find the place deserted, no lights on, etc. This was during their stated open hours with no notice of a sudden change or anything on the door. We were about to leave when a gentleman got out of a car and waved us in. They unlocked the door and we went into a dark restaurant that he clearly was opening up just for us. The gentleman was the only person serving and cooking; service was still pretty good with minimal wait time to order, water refills, and food arrival (we were the only in-restaurant patrons so take it for its worth). A couple delivery folks showed up while we were being served but no one else showed up to dine in. We were given a complementary soup while we waited for our food, but it wasn't very good and given the context above, was clearly heated up quickly (microwave?). I had the Rama Garden: the vegetables were a bit bland, but the peanut sauce just tasted wrong on the vegetables; it wasn't rancid or anything, just the flavors didn't seem to work at all. Given how fast food came out despite the one person having just opened for us while also cooking the food, I'd say the speed to prepare was reflected in the flavor/quality. I'm guessing they're on the verge of closing for good and I probably ordered a bad item on the menu. I would not come back to give it another try. read more

Teapot remains a gem and a treasure to the Eastside. They are, and have always been, the premier Chinese vegetarian restaurant in the area and they would always be. The Bounty of the Sea, Jewel Box, and Satay are really out of this world. read more

Cute, quiet, all vegan spot! The owner was sweet and the service was prompt. The flat noodles were really well made, and were super saucy and delicious! The Thai tea was also good and we'll be back to try another entree and dessert. read more

i feel bad leaving this review since i could tell it was a very family owned business with hardworking, overworked people, and the place was understaffed, but the food just did not make up for it. i feel like i could have gotten this food at any chinese place, not at a special vegetarian place. my friend liked her meal with "beef," and he said the beef was good. you could tell the dumplings were made in house, which i really appreciated. i just wasn't impressed with the chow mein. read more

I should come here more often. They've either improved from my last visit or I've become better at choosing what I will enjoy. Highly recommended for delicious vegan food and kind service. read more

After a long day of work, I decided to reward myself with some hot and sour soup. I ordered via HappyCow app and that was a very simple process. The service was excellent as the food was ready for pickup in half the time predicted. This restaurant is nestled in a strip mall near a busy road. Once I stepped into the restaurant I noticed how cute it was with its happy Buddah greeting me. The soup was delicious but a bit pricey. The current price may be chalked up to inflation. I look forward to coming back and trying some of their other vegan dishes. read more

Pretty good vegetarian spot that's easy to eat healthy at if that's what you're looking for. It was relatively empty when we visited so service was super quick. Food hits the spot but is not your usual oily or indulgent stuff and that's nice . Ambience is calming and casual. Would recommend read more

This place has a long history of catering to vegans and vegetarians, so it gets immediate points in my book. However, I do feel that many dishes are overly saucy and the interior decor needs some MAJOR Feng shui help. It was SO cold, stark, hard, & barren. Of course when I went inside to grab my takeout it was completely devoid of other customers - but even besides that....there was just a feeling of decrepit devoidness. I don't know how else to put it. No warmth. No energy. It had the feeling of barely hanging on. It needs more so customers can be comfortable. Just FYI the pics on this yelp site are out of date, as far as what I'm talking about. Please invest in your interior so that customers can feel welcome & comfortable / cozy. read more

I've been visiting Teapot for years and have tried most of the menu. The food is thoughtfully prepared and presented. I'm not vegan but still always feel satisfied. Staff recommendations are always honest and helpful. If something doesn't quite meet expectations, they WANT to make it right. I can go with a diverse group with various dietary restrictions and we can all find something to enjoy. Great place, relaxing and comfortable. read more

Kosher is fine for me but it's all carbs. My glucose counts were through the roof when I used to eat there.

Teapot Vegetarian House is such a charming restaurant filled with beautiful tea pots and an amazing vegetarian menu. I was in the area and wanted to sit down for lunch with a colleague. Our dishes were really good, not overly seasoned which I greatly appreciate. Service was good and very efficient. I would definitely return and recommend. read more

One of the very few vegan places in the east side. You would think it would be busy, well it was quite dead and we weren't greeted particularly well despite the empty restaurant The food was bland ! The only thing I can taste is either peanut or soy sauce. Absolutely disappointed with the quality of the food and the service. I kind of had high expectations on this place so it could have been the reason why I am utterly disappointed with the food here read more

I've been eating at Teapot for over 20 years. I love it. Excellent vegetarian food! Yummmmm!

I ordered takeout today-- the Mandarin Crispy Tofu and rice-- and it was fantastic! The sauce was incredibly flavorful and nuanced, and the tofu was battered and crispy in a way I haven't had before, despite being a vegetarian for over 13 years. This food put a smile on my face because I finally got to experience the authentic Chinese take out experience AND feel assured that my food was really vegetarian. Bonus: the woman working put a cup of Kung Pao Soup in with my take out order as well. I look forward to going back and trying more dishes! read more

Mandarin Fritters had a great sauce, but the protein in them were TINY, covered by very large disproportionate amounts of batter that made it seem like you were getting a lot more food. The dish amounted to maybe 10 pieces, but the actual amount of protein would probably amount to like three fingers worth. aka, a scam. The Laksa however had a great soup - not the best I've had but very decent. The tofu and seitan that it comes with though are completely bland and flavorless, the biggest mistake in the vegetarian/vegan food world to make. Anytime there is a vegetarian protein, it should ALWAYS be marinated or have a texture porous enough to absorb flavor quickly. All in all, I've had much crappier vegetarian before so I'd do it again if looking for it around the eastside of Seattle. read more

We liked the lanterns lining the ceiling. The music was interesting, Mexican? Anyway, we liked it. It was quiet indeed. We were the only one's there when we arrived at 6:30. The seating was really poor. Hard chairs and benches with no backs. The food would have to be pretty fabulous for me to return to uncomfortable seating in a restaurant. The larger round tables looked like they had more comfortable chairs and a turntable in the middle of the table to share the food. That would be fun with a group of friends. The owner was great, even though they were out of many things that night. I had looked at the menu online before visiting and the menu at the restaurant was very limited with none of the items we had intended to order available. We ordered a couple of entries that were our second choices. They were just OK. Pretty salty and limited amount of veggies were included. I was disappointed with both meals. My plus one inhaled hers and thought it was great. Everybody's tastes are different. They don't serve alcohol. I ordered a mango smoothie. I'd order it again. I enjoyed it. My plus 1 didn't. This restaurant has been here for decades and I'd love to support any vegetarian or vegan restaurant. That said, we probably won't be back. That's just us. By the time we left there was a party who were having a fabulous time there. It might suit you well. read more

Food: - vegetable chao mian 3/5 This leans towards the sweeter end, but is pretty much on par with panda express style. There's a nice amount of cabbage, some broccoli and a few carrot slices. - Laksa 3/5 I'm not the biggest fan of mock meat, and this had a chicken style version. It wasn't bad, but just not a favorite. It does come with tofu and bean sprouts, but no other veggies. Would love to have seen more diversity in vegetables in this dish instead of predominantly noodles. The flavor was also more like a red curry as opposed to laksa. - Tom Yum Soup I'll preface this with TY soup not being the most favorite. This one was particularly peppery and sour, and very very thick from all the cornstarch. Dessert: Gula Melecca 1/5 - This was so cloyingly sweet we couldn't finish it after a few bites. It tastes like thick chunks of peanut butter, chocolate syrup, icing, thick cream, lots of sugar and tapioca pearls. It just didn't quite work. Service: Friendly, they added in a complementary cup of soup. I'll note they don't pick up their phones though ( called twice) and had to go to the restaurant to order take out. Note: The menu is from all across Asia, plus some head scratchers like corn chowder. I'm glad to see vegan options, I just wish there was more flavor and focus. read more

Calling attention to all folks who might be ignoring this place coz it says vegan/vegetarian . Let me start with breakdown on my rating : Ambience - 3 Food - 4 Hospitality - 5 Bonus : As my fellow foodies know how difficult it is to have vegan /vegetarian options, This place has a bonus star for being that "thank goodness" option. I have been many times here over the years. And my favorite order includes - - Spinach and soft beancurd soup : the clear broth is incredibly flavorful with sesame oil adding just the right umami. Not spicy at all. And perfect for introducing kids / new people to the flavors of East. - Laksa : this malaysian delicacy has left an imprint since the first time I had it in Singapore. To have something remotely close to the taste while being vegan is a huuuge thing in my books. This soup usually relies on shrimp paste and seafood for it taste. - Drunken noodles : Ah the vegetables alone are the winner for me. - Bounty of the sea : Again super flavorful noodles in bean sauce and vegetables. Note: - If you are sensitive to saltiness, please ask / remind while giving order to go light on salt. Sauces usually have salt so it adds up. - if your group has varied spice tolerance levels and you are sharing food, there is always a helpful jar of chili oil nearby. A dash of it is all it takes to up the spiciness :) With this I would highly recommend all foodies to give this asian vegan food a try and thank me later :) read more

Five stars for the laksa and the service! My boyfriend craves laksa at least once a month and he will only go to this place. We usually order the oolong tea which comes in a pretty teapot (ha ha) and they replenish with hot water every so often. The laksa is incredible! It's perfectly creamy (but vegan, using coconut milk!), warm, spicy but not too spicy, with delicious noodles and tofu and vegetables. It really hits the spot. Other menu items I've tried (fried rice, pad see you, potstickers) are mediocre--albeit really generous portion sizes--but it's the laksa that keeps us coming back. The servers are friendly and efficient-- even during the holidays when they warned us service might be a little slower, they were still really fast. We've never had to wait for a table, or wait too long for food, or had our water glasses sit empty. We'll keep coming back for the laksa and oolong tea. read more

Amazing options for those who don't eat meat. No lose of flavor and amazing combinations!

We love this place!!!! We got seated promptly, the waitress greeted us with a big smiles and she gave us some times to look at the menu. Food came in in big portions, I like all of them but the sweet n spicy eggplant was my favorite, I was skeptical as first cause of the strong vinegar fragrant, but the flavor mixed really well . We will definitely come vack, highly recommend! read more

Teapot really hit the spot. We got the appetizer sampler and a wonton soup. Soup was perfectly flavored and a great temperature. The tower of fried yumminess was was a bit overwhelming at first but BOY it was exactly what I wanted. In the moment, I really couldn't have told you what the difference between each item was. They were all a bit different and delicious. Came with 3 sauces for you to choose your own adventure. If I came back, I certainly won't be eating my weight in fried food. But it was good enough that I know I'll be back for some lighter dishes in the future. read more

We ordered takeout while on vacation in the Seattle area. Not being from the area, we had no idea that rice was not included (as we later learned is common in these parts) -- or maybe they forgot to give it to us. I don't know, it's not clear on the menu. The restaurant looked nice when we picked up our food. And we appreciated the all-vegan offerings. But overall the dishes left a lot to be desired. We had Fried Wontons and Potstickers for appetizers. The potstickers were ok but nothing special. The fried wontons had little in the way of vegetables, so basically just wontons with worse than ordinary duck sauce. The best entrees were the yellow singapore curry and the smoked salmon, although too much breading often overwhelmed the salmon flavor. The Mah poh tofu was ok, but again, nothing special. The absolute worst was the sweet and spicy eggplant. On the plus side, it had large pieces of eggplant. But they were swimming in what looked and tasted like plain duck sauce. It was sickly sweet with zero complexity and spice. None of us ate more than a couple of bites. We salvaged the leftovers the next day by actually adding seasonings (it needed a LOT of help and some acidity to cut the cloying sauce). It's unlikely we'd return. read more

Sure wish there was a zero star. The fake Chinese food here is horrendous. All five dishes we ordered were so doused with soy sauce and black in color. We've been here four times in the last twenty years and never enjoyed it but kept wanting to give them a chance to improve as they are vegan. Never ever again will we waste our money on such subpar food. Yuck. Yuck. Yuck. read more

The food is just OK. As far as a destination, vegetarian restaurant, I just don't think it's worth it. The one exception was the cheesecake and they just recently took it off the menu. Steakhouse prices for steamed vegetables...it's just an extreme version of vegan tax in my opinion. read more
