Good service and plenty of seating at lunch. Park in the lot on the side street. I had the boneless bbq ribs, japanese drumsticks and mongolian beef Boneless Ribs- interesting chewy texture but this was on the sweet side even without the sauce and I would skip this next time. Japanese Drumsticks- 2 orders next time please! Intense crispiness and a great exterior crunch. Odd sauce pairing- but I doctored the ribs sauce with soy for a better dip. Mongolian Beef- fresh crisp veggies and a nice savory sauce- would order again
ggie Heaven was such a nice place to go to! Restaurant has a relaxing vibe to it, and place is typically busy but not too busy where you won't be able to get a table. Staff is quick to attend and very kind to take accommodations and answer questions. The rolls were good, pretty close to shrimp honestly. The peanut plate was delicious. There was a sweet and savory taste to the meal, and everything was just so good. Everything on the plate mixed very well with each other and every bite was a delight. The beef looking plate was just as good in its own way. The chicken drumsticks are A FAVORITE!! Wow those are so delicious and crispy. The tea is always a delight to drink with the meals. Can't remember the other two meals, but they were all good. My party split them all four ways to try everything and it was delightful. I don't feel icky after eating so much, and the portions are huge. Waiter was very patient with my grandmother who 1) doesn't speak english 2) is diabetic so we had to find something safe for her to eat. 110% recommend this place to anyone. It's vegetarian/vegan only, but honestly the food was better than meals I've had with meat. Food felt good to eat, i didn't feel sick or overly full and heavy from it all. Pricing isn't so bad, considering the quality and quantity is very high.
5/5 - the best vegan spot ever!!! I love this place. Sushi and Chinese dishes are sooo good especially for being all Vegan.
I've been a loyal customer for years and I love their creative takes on food. Vegan but food for everyone.. I had the Thai mango sushi and my favorite Vege duck appy.. Professional Service delicious food
Sushi rolls are amazing, my favs r the dragon, rainbow, phoenix, and mango thai, the carribean roll and coconut roll r also super great. I've tried the vegetarian duck and that is very tasty too. Highly reccommend getting their Thai tea boba as well. In the picture is: vegetarian duck and the rainbow dragon and phoenix roll
I came here for my friends birthday party it was a big one about 12 of us. They have a lot of cool options it's all vegetable but made to imitate meat . We had a wide array of dishes. I loved the curry soup , the ribs, and the sesame chicken . The food is very filling and portions are big. We all had to go bags after . It's a pretty good place for vegetarians and has a lot of gluten free options . The waiter was nice but was a little slow he took a while to take our orders but overall good place !
The people are great! The quality of the food has diminished since it changed ownership! It is disappointing. However, the vegan cakes are awesome. The attached pic includes ice cream that clearly is not consistent and that was partially melted and refrozen. This is not the first time either. Across the board, there has been a decline. I won't be ordering from them again.
This review is not about anything BUT the Kashrut Supervision. While it's in Teaneck, one should one that this Restaurant IS NOT under the hashgacha of there Rabbincal Council of Bergen County. I made the mistake of making a reservation there & almost went there for dinner, before someone mentioned this point to me. I was foolish in thinking that kosher in Teaneck means RCBC hashgacha. NOPE. Be better than me & look at each establishment's kasrut supervision carefully.
Overall Thoughts: The quintessential spot for vegan Asian fusion food-- from Chinese to Thai to Japanese to Vietnamese (with some Caribbean & Mexican too). The menu is massive, perfect for sharing with groups large and small, and the prices are good and reasonable. The service was quick and attentive, and the restaurant itself is spacious and comfortable. There's a free parking lot nearby too. All the dishes-- even the vegetables-- were less flavorful than traditional Asian restaurant food, but they still tasted good. Overall, you can't go wrong with Veggie Heaven if you're looking for a diverse variety of vegan Asian food. Food I tried: - Eggplant with Garlic Sauce (4/5): This dish is a lot less flavorful than those in traditional Chinese restaurants (likely due to the lack of MSG), but it was still pretty good, with a distinct Chinese flair. - Vegetable Peking Duck (4/5): The mock duck was quite good and well-made; the texture was nice and stringy and pretty meat-like. It's not exactly similar to traditional "mock duck" as the traditional one is made from wheat gluten, and this one is gluten-free. The dish also came with flour tortillas instead of traditional bao buns for wrapping, which still tasted good but was lighter and less filling. - Assorted Steamed Dim Sum (3.9/5): These were pretty good; I enjoyed the different skins of each one. The inside filling of the "shumai" was mostly seasoned rice, while the dumpling fillings were all of the same veggies. It would've been nice to have some more diverse fillings, or some mock meats as fillings. -- Price (relative to peers): 4.4/5 Food: 4/5 Ambience: 4.8/5 Service: 4.8/5 Overall Value: 4.3/5
Food: 3.75/5 Service: 5/5 I love the purpose of Veggie Heaven and its intention to provide alternatives of meat-oriented dishes. The servers were friendly, and there was plenty of tables to sit at. My friend and I tried the shrimp tempura roll, falafels, and boba tea. Here were our thoughts: * Shrimp Tempura Roll (5/5) Given this is a vegetarian take on shrimp tempura, it was surprisingly good! I would definitely be open to getting this again if the menu wasn't so large and interesting. * Falafels (1/5) I'm no professional taster at falafels, but this just wasn't good. It was too mushy, and the sauce wasn't very good. My friend and I agreed we could skip on this next time. * Boba tea (2.5/5) It was an average boba tea. I was thirsty and craving something like this, so it worked. However, there are other boba shops in the area that are definitely better I would like to come back again some time and try different things! It's a unique find as there aren't many restaurants that do vegetarian East Asian food.

Fantastic and unexpected vegan and vegetarian options in Teaneck. We happened across this place by accident and it was a gem. Wildly diverse menu options, good food, great service. Come for dinner and stay for the vegan cakes and pies. read more
A VEGAN GO TO MUST! I seriously can not express my love for this place! My boyfriend (who's not vegan - loves it!) and I come here at least once a month for dinner, and i come here for lunch quite frequently. They have incredible dish replications for your typical Chinese restaurant foods and quite honestly you can not tell that you are not eating real fish/meat that's why we love this place. The food is not only Chinese based they have all sorts of cultural bits to choose from - lots of American, Thai, Indian..) When we go we typically choose to order tons of appetizers because theyre so easy to pick at. The sushi is really good, identical replications. BYOB The best part is they use natural ingredients/Non GMO so you can fill up on food and you wont feel like you cant walk out to your car after. The place has a very home-like feel to it. The owners and workers are the sweetest souls! read more

For starters, this place is huge. It makes me wonder if this place used to be anything else before Veggie Heaven. The place is finished in carpet, which only confirms my theory this place might have been anything but a restaurant in the past. Anyway.... The menu itself is about 10 pages long. I was given 2, I can't recall the differences between the 2, but I just know they were 2 different menus. Perhaps a lunch and dinner one? Dunno. But something you DO need to know is: anything listed as duck, chicken or any kind of protein, is all made from soy/seitan. It's not real meat. The title of the restaurant suggests this but just in case you didn't know, I am telling you. Lunch prices run around $7-9 and no more than that. I ordered L-24, lunch special #24 but absolutely cannot remember the name of the dish. Suffice it to say, I didn't come here for a tasty meal, just something to fill me up before the movies. My chicken and dish came with a complimentary spring roll, which I wouldn't have minded more of. All in all I'd say this place is pretty unique in that it offers almost 200 different vegan dishes, and that you shouldn't expect the prices of a Chinese takeout place, because that isn't what this is. Even if that were so, I assume meat substitutes to be costlier than traditional protein choices. So I think the price is fair. In a perfect world the place wouldn't be finished in carpet, and the vegan chicken would taste like real chicken, but this place comes to a close finish and that's good enough for me. Definitely an squired taste, but for a town that's Kosher and Halal friendly, I can see why this place remains a local favorite. read more

Veggie heaven is pretty awesome, the menu options are bountiful, staff is friendly and everything is 100% vegetarian, they also have some vegan options. The menu can be a little confusing to navigate and probably needs some polishing up. It'll read as 'beef and broccoli' with no description stating it contains tofu or seitan. They seem to have two menus and that can be a little overwhelming and bewildering too. The food itself is tasty I had the sesame 'chicken' and my lovely dining partner had the Mongolian 'beef' both were seitan based and had brown rice on the side. The portions were certainly large enough for 4 people instead of two! Favor was great tasted exactly like Chinese food, the texture of the seitan was just a little bit more tender than that of actual chicken, but still delicious. For dessert we tried their vegan chocolate cake, wasn't too bad but boy was it sugary. Overall the experience was great and we will definitely be returning. P.s. BYOB read more

The place is pretty big and roomy, but dated, the carpet really needed to be clean or replace. Took away one star for that reason. Food being it's all veggie, they did a wonderful job with creating mock beef, fish, Pork and many wonderful dishes to chose from. A large menu with so many variety. We ordered off the lunch menu, beef with vegetables, Tofu and vegetables. They were delicious. Most impressive dish was on the board for the day's special, fried fish filet, so well made and tasty, you'll forget you are not eating real fish. Service was good. read more

I like to eat, and i love to go out to eat but the one thing i hate about my life and my diet--is none other than the fact that I have to always ask, "Is there meat in this?", "is bacon on top of that?", "is the broth chicken or beef?". however, let me introduce you to veggie heaven. The one establishment that i never have to ask any of those questions. everything is vegetarian, and there are some vegan options too. Its generally chinese or asian inspired, fast, vegetarian food. Some of my favorites include the wonton soup, chicken wings, and scallion pancake. other surprises are the leak soup, rice dishes, and the desserts. the ice creams --mango ice cream and tofu ice cream are always so refreshing and tasty. the salmon dish and boneless spare ribs i could gladly pass on. oh and the seseme chicken is a good go to also! this place is byob & they give you free hot tea along with some pickled veggie appetizers to enjoy. read more
Came in as a walk in and was seated right away, this place is huge you wouldn't expect it to be that big from the outside. Ordered sweet potato, shrimp tempura and a dragon roll. Loved them all. My friend ordered the mango chicken she comes to veggie heaven about once a week. She's vegan and this is her go to place to eat to EVERYTHING is vegan. I tired the mango chicken and was super impressed with the taste. The veggies are perfectly cooked. For dessert we got pumpkin cheese cake we forgot to take a picture. It was really good. You wouldn't know any of the food was vegan from the way it taste. The mango chicken you would know it's vegan by the texture but not the taste. 10/10 recommend this place. Is it worth the money? Yes. Would i come back? Yes i got all this food for $39 read more

I've rated the Montclair location before and I'm just as in love with the Teaneck one. Especially since I'm attempting to participate in Veganuary, finding restaurants that I can actually eat and enjoy has been a bit of a struggle. Veggie Heaven has always got my back though. The food is consistently a 10/10 and I get practically the same thing every time I come here. Everything on the menu is plant based, this place is a vegetarian dream! The OG Teaneck location holds a special place in my heart and Veggie Heaven will continue to remain my fave restaurant of all time. read more

When meeting up with a strictly vegetarian friend, this place was recommended as a good option. I am not always a fan of "fake" meat but this place does a really good job of making some tasty Asian dishes! My friend and I met for a late lunch so I was able to take advantage of the lunch special where for $7.25, I got a choice of soup or spring roll, entree dish, and choice of rice. I went with sesame chicken with brown rice and a spring roll. Sesame chicken tasted great and was quite filling, however, it didn't really taste like chicken. I was impressed with the texture and flavor though it was a tofu like taste. Spring roll was also crispy and flavorful. Also an amazing deal for the amount of food! Menu is huge with literally every Chinese dish imaginable. Specials include sushi as well. The place has little ambiance - worn out carpet, overgrown plants, and views of refrigerators and microwaves from dining room yet you are going for the food. They also give you tea and fortune cookies included which is a nice touch. Service is fast though you may have to flag down your waiter if you need any sort of refill. All in all - I'd definitely make a return to trip to try some of the other dishes! read more

Im giving this place 4.5 stars. I really liked this veggie heaven compared to its other restaurant in Montclair. It's a larger space and not packed so there's no waiting for a table. Service is super quick too! I loved the orange flavored beef and since they have dishes from different ethnicities I wanted to try something Indian. I was debating between the butter chicken and the malaman curry and ended up getting the curry. I thought it would be made in a sauce but the dish was dry. It was still very flavorful so I didn't mind it. I also got the green tea cake which was delicious. It had a walnuts taste to it and a thin layer of frosting on it which was perfect. read more
One of my friends recently became a vegan, so we came here for dinner the other night. The entire menu is vegan, which is amazing. The restaurant is pretty large for the area, and quiet. We ordered the scallion pancakes and Indian samosa rolls as appetizers. The scallion pancakes were excellent. Crispy, but not greasy. The samosas came in an egg roll wrapper, which confused me until I noticed the menu did say roll. They were good, but I still prefer regular samosas. As an entree, I had the crispy garlic chicken. The garlic sauce had a lot of garlic flavor, and the texture of the fake chicken was spot on. The only way you could tell it wasn't real chicken would be the flavor, which was mostly hidden by the sauce anyway. I like that I had the option of brown rice too. For the hell of it, we tried the vegan cheesecake. I was fully prepared for it to suck, since it's a cheesecake with no cheese or dairy in general. But it was surprisingly good. Except for the overly sweet strawberry syrup on top. Definitely come here for something different, get the regular cheesecake. read more
It is a heaven and not just for vegans! Huge menu - we were shocked by the diversity and prices. They serve complimentary tea which we enjoyed very much. We ordered Sweet & Sour Chicken ($11.25) and Roast Vege Chicken Lo Mein ($7.50). And Oh my! So tasty, so delicious. Huge portion. Lucky we were hungry! We couldn't resist and we ordered Chocolate and Coconut cupcake. Both yummy! And wait, that's not the end. When we asked for a check with super full stomachs, our waiter brought fortune cookie and watermelon. Space is bigger than it looks like from the outside, but also very cozy and clean. Service was on point, very attentive. We had visited about 10 vegan places in NYC, DC and Philadelphia in past 8 days and I have to say, this one had probably the best deal. I mean to 2 entrees (big portions), 2 desserts, tea, watermelon for $29? And it was an excellent food. Very recommended! Can't wait to go there again. read more

Veggie Heaven has a HUGE menu of delicious all-vegan Asian dishes...General Tso's, Sweet and Sour chick'n, and more. (The menu is a huge book!) But what sets them apart from other veg restaurants is their incredible vegan sushi menu. You can get all of the classic non-vegan rolls you enjoyed before going vegan, without harming any sea life! Rainbow Rolls, Dragon Rolls, Spicy Tuna Rolls, Philadelphia Rolls, Shrimp Tempura Rolls...all of them - AND ALL VEGAN! It's truly amazing. Everything else is excellent, too, but I say: focus on the sushi! Highly recommended. (Note: the sushi at the Teaneck location of Veggie Heaven is far superior to the sushi at the Montclair or Denville locations. For the best vegan sushi, you've got to head to the Teaneck location of Veggie Heaven!) read more
A great gem in Teaneck especially if you're vegetarian it reminds me of Buddha bodai on Mott St they have a wide variety of vegetarian dishes from Jamaican wraps to steamed entrees to tofu entrees, this is a staple in Teaneck and you can tell the community comes from all over Bergen county to support this amazing restaurant, whenever I am near the neighborhood I stop by this place, the staff is super friendly. Would go back and actually I'm going to try to go today, they have public parking and they take cash or credit cards read more
