    Flavor is on point. One of my favorite vegan restaurants in the area. Family run, authentic. Simple but clean ambiance.

    Cindy M.

    Everything is 100% vegan. The ribs were my favorite among the other delights like kimchi fried rice w/brown rice (optional), homemade pot stickers and garlic spinach. However a bold black pepper Chicken chow mein is not to be passed over. The noodles are thick and slightly firm. Lavender tea was very nice. Prices were average. The dishes are served family style with decent portions. We ordered a lot of food and had to pack some to take home. Service was awesome. The meal is always better when the conversation is going and lots of smiles are exchanged. Our server Yen is a beautiful and most kind and friendly young lady. We will be back!

    A3. 8 Piece Homemade Vegetarian Wonton with Chili Sauce
    Arvind S.

    As a Mountain View resident, I've been here a few times over the years, mostly doing picking rather than dine in. In terms of the dine in area, it's in a limited space but one should always be able to find a table. It's family owned and they're extremely friendly and will definitely give you the best recommendations! I mostly come here when I have company in the form of friends who are vegetarians/vegans and want to eat Asian food or on days I want to cut down on my meat intake. Few dishes I've frequented 1. Black Pepper Chicken Chowmein - This is their highlight hands down. Flavor is spot on without being over the top on black pepper, good portion of soy based vegan chicken, and also adjustable oil based on request. N 2. Mapo Tofu - I would get this spicy to get a Mapo Tofu with a kick and ask them to not add much sweetish flavor to this dish, because if you get it towards the milder side, you'll get a sweetish taste. But you know, the portion size is crazy and there it is not too high on oil either. 3. Wonton in Chili Oil - This has a peanut based flavor/sauce and is on the sweeter side, but I do love the peanut based flavor. It mostly contains veggies like cabbage and carrots inside. Good dish, again good portion size. Over the years, I have tried other dishes like the Hunan Tofu/Vegan chicken, the Mongolian Vegan Chicken, the tofu fries, salt and pepper tofu with most dishes being food. And oh yea, the Thai curries are pretty decent too. The weekday lunch combos are good value for money. The garlicky noodle was a bit low on flavor/bland for me. I wasn't super fond of the Singapore style rice noodle too, but that might just be due to my preferences of liking thick noodles and not rice noodles. Very consistent food and a 4 or 4.5 most times though. Parking available outside at all times in the small complex.

    As a vegetarian, I always appreciate these vegan/vegetarian restaurants - the food options are endless! We arrived around 40 minutes before closing and had 10 minutes to quickly decide what we wanted before the kitchen closed. We ended up getting the Black Pepper Chicken Chow Mein, the Mo Po tofu, and a side of rice. Mo Po tofu (3.5/5): This was my first time having Mo Po tofu and it was alright. thought it could have been more flavorful. We added some chili oil and that helped a little. I wish the rice came with the dish but this is common in many restaurants. Black Pepper Chicken Chow Mein (4/5): Good flavors! The vegetables were cooked really well and I liked the black pepper. I personally liked this dish over the Mo Po tofu. We asked for it to be spicy but we didn't taste any heat. Overall, the food could be spicier, but otherwise the flavors were well-balanced and service was excellent. Good local business to check out!

    Grace X.

    INSANELY GOOD. I brought my dad who is not a vegan here for lunch, and even he was impressed with the food. I ordered the black pepper chicken chow mein based on our server's recommendation, and it was absolutely delicious. Decently sized portion, and it came full of vegetables and vegan chicken, unlike some places where they give like 90% noodles. My dad enjoyed the moo shu vegetables. The servers were quick and friendly, and the food came extremely fast, probably within 10 minutes of ordering. They have a pretty extensive menu, and everything the people around us were eating looked delicious too. I will probably be back here very very often to work through the rest of the menu!

    E5. Orange Vegetarian Chicken
    Bindu A.

    We chanced upon this place and were greatly impressed. First, so happy to see the food came out so quickly even though the restaurant was so full. So many options to choose from! Black pepper chicken chow mein- the best of all the items we ordered. Noodles were perfectly soft, the black pepper added a nice twist. Orange chicken - kids wanted this, not very impressed, but the plate was empty, very quickly. I liked it that it is not like the usual too sweet orange chicken, it was mildly sweet. The veggie chicken did end up a little chewy. Ma Po Tofu - husband is a huge fan of this dish in general. It was good but we have had better ones before. Garlic Eggplant - was listed as spicy in the menu. It was sweet. A little disappointed. Wonton soup - all of us loved it! It is a very basic, not a lot of flavors, but that was enough Pineapple fried rice - it was good but it was a little on the mushy side. Overall, we enjoyed the food!

    S9. Black Pepper Chicken Chow Mein
    Pranathi B.

    I rarely go to a restaurant twice within a few months as we are spoilt for choices in the bayarea. But I had a hankering for the black pepper chowmein, so we made our way back here. In addition to the chowmein I also wanted to try some eggplant dish and we were suggested to get the basil eggplant. So here is the rundown of the dishes we tried this time- Black pepper chowmein- 5/5- I came back here just for this dish. It's really good. Definitely get this!!! Basil eggplant-5/5- another epic dish. Definitely ranks high on the best eggplant dishes I ever had. Not spicy but very savory without any sweet notes. It came with tofu as well which was equally delectable. Veggie fried rice- 4/5- delicious but very oily. There was no need for so much oil in this dish. Hopefully they take this feedback and work on improving it. Organic chicken salad- 4/5- my younger one wanted this. It came with a bunch of greens topped with lots of crispy wonton skins, fried "chicken" pieces and some dressing on the side. It was surprisingly good as the elements worked together cohesively. Vegetarian wonton with chilli oil- 4/5- another solid dish, the wontons were topped with some peanut sauce. It was a tad bit sweet, though I don't prefer sweetness in my savory dishes this was great as well. It's a very cosy little mom and pop style restaurant. I highly recommend giving them a try. I can assure you, you won't miss meat.

    Lemon E2. Lemon VG Chicken, Sesame Chicken, E17. Hunan Tofu, E1. Sweet and Sour VG Pork (on the bottom)

    This food is incredible!!! Such a wide selection of dishes and each one I have tried is delicious. The food is ready very quickly as well. I definitely recommend this place! I have brought 3 meat eaters and they really enjoyed it also.

    Garlic egg plant lunch
    Michelle W.

    Can't believe it took so long for me to try this place! It's right next to the vet I go to and I've had Veggie Garden bookmarked for awhile. Came by to pick up to go for lunch while visiting the vet. Lunch prices are reasonable and I thought portion sizes were good. The garlic eggplant lunch was enough for lunch and dinner for one person. They take Apple Pay and you can sub out rice for double chow mein :) Hope to be back!

    Kimchee fried rice made with brown rice.
    Lucy L.

    5 stars for offering a wide variety of vegan dishes, 4 stars for the flavorful but thick gravy in each dish, which would be even better if they lighten it up a bit. Conductive to sharing family style so you can try everything. I appreciate that the staff asked us whether anyone had any food allergies. Check out their specials written on the wall near the kitchen. Both white & brown rice are offered and you can even choose which rice you want your fried rice to be made with. We had: Kimchee fried rice Vegan Duck (my favorite) Vegan fried fish in lemon sauce Vegan beef & broccoli Garlic eggplant Choy sum & black mushrooms Vegan ribs with bell peppers This place is located in a small strip mall and has its own parking lot which is convenient. Prices are reasonable and portions are decent.

    E17. Hunan Tofu
    Ken C.

    Didn't miss the meat Came here with a vegetarian friend and was amazed at the quality of the food. We tried the hunan tofu and the thai basil "chicken". Both were prepared carefully, came out hot, and smothered in a delicious sauce. Hit all the traditional Chinese notes. Okay, the vegetarian dumplings were missing some porky goodness, but they weren't too bad. Prices were very reasonable as well and service was excellent

Clear broth, comes with an assortment of vegan proteins, and it's been consistent every single time over the years. Best had in cold weather. The spicy noodle soup is solid too but it doesn't hit the same way. The SP4 gourmet deluxe is my other staple and I order it like an appetizer. The protein comes out fried with a crispy shell and soft inside. The sauce leans hard on lemongrass and citrus but it's savory throughout, not sweet. Haven't had anything like it anywhere else. Orange nuggets are chewy with a citrusy and sweet glaze. Good enough that I skip the actual appetizers for these. The Szechuan Pineapple is spicy, salty, and savory with chewy gluten and a citrus undertone running through it. Green papaya salad is strictly sour and tangy. Fresh, nothing heavy about it. Sweet potato curry is definitely underrated. Potato goes soft all the way through and the whole thing tastes hearty without being heavy. Basil eggplant tofu skews sweet and the eggplant goes silky and it's a family favorite. Eggplant claypot has the same idea but the sauce is better and it comes out in the claypot which makes it feel like a proper dish. Jalapeno BBQ seitan was a miss. The BBQ sauce tastes flat.

That's the plot twist I didn't know I needed…read more We stopped here on my way out of Santa Clara heading to San Francisco -- it's conveniently close to a bunch of other spots, and since it's tucked inside a hotel, parking was ridiculously easy. (Underrated luxury.) Now, the hotel itself? Visually... a moment. It looked like someone invested serious money into it, but the design felt a little space-meets-startup-meets-what's-happening-here. Some elements felt elevated, others felt a bit makeshift. I genuinely couldn't tell what the theme was -- futuristic? celestial? boutique-on-a-budget? I'm still processing. The front desk team was clearly well-trained and knowledgeable -- they had every answer, every stat, every rate breakdown ready. But the warmth? Missing. I was hoping for a little storytelling since I'd never heard of the hotel before, and instead got a very matter-of-fact "we've been here five years" energy. Efficient, yes. Inviting, not quite. But let's talk about why you're really here: the coffee shop. Completely different vibe. Two people working, both genuinely happy, welcoming, and quick. We ordered a latte and a matcha to go -- total was about $22, which made me blink for a second -- but then I tasted the matcha. Oh. This wasn't the overly sweet, dusty-green situation you sometimes get. It tasted clean. Real. High-quality. The kind of matcha that feels intentional. I love Firehouse in Marin, but this? This was closer to serious coffee roaster-level quality. Smooth, organic-tasting, beautifully balanced. You could tell they care about what they're serving. Branding was strong, the space was cute, and I could absolutely see myself sitting there with my laptop pretending I'm writing something important. We grabbed ours to go, but it had that easy, airy, "stay awhile" energy. Would I book the hotel? Jury's still out. They don't have an in-house spa and mentioned bringing in third-party services for certain amenities, which made it feel a little less full-service than I expected. Would I go back for the coffee shop? Without hesitation. Delicious drinks, easy parking, quick service, and a vibe that actually makes you want to come back. Sometimes the side character steals the show -- and in this case, it's 100% the matcha.

Because, once again, I was distracted by the quality of the food, and there would be no way for me to do anything else, but to eat! Today, I was in the mood for something more than a salad (much as I wanted to preset what I had the first time coming here, I made a concerted effort to order something else...), thus I chose the Forager Flatbread. It took less time to make this time (roughly about five minutes after ordering), and when it came out, I marveled at how it looked like a work of art! Just beautiful! Each piece of herbed formage blanc flatbread had a nice, crunchy bottom (but not blackened) and a slightly tanginess, with a a good amount of "hen-of-the-wood" mushrooms, sweet roasted garlic and a bed of arugula. My, oh, my! My first bite was a multi-level extravaganza! The crunch of the bread, followed by the aroma of the herbs and arugula, then the saltiness of the cheese, the sweetness of the roasted garlic, the earthiness of the mushrooms - all came together as just a wonderful work of culinary art! This being my first time eating today, my saliva glands just fired off at first bite, causing a bit of intense pain from too much saliva shooting out. But, seriously, this was a very delicious entree, that I enjoyed from start to finish! Bravo for this second joyous experience!
