I went here today with a coworker because it's walking distance from the office. And boy, it was yummy.
They have a great lunch special with is an entree, plus white or brown rice, an eggroll and soup. I got the greenbeans with faux beef. My coworker got eggplant and tofu. It was great. It was raining today and worth the walk.
And we both had leftovers!! We'll definitely be back here.
People thought this was:
Right when you sit down they give you some tea and a small plate of pickled cabbage (?).
Sweet & Sour Pork = good
Wonton soup = good. The small was just enough for two people.
You can choose between white or brown rice. After dinner we were given complimentary dessert. It was a sweet red bean dessert type thing. Very good. Dinner for two for 18 bucks. Not too shabby!
I came here because I pass by it on the way home from work everyday. The next time I have to eat vegetarian I will definitely be back.
People thought this was:
Small place in residential neighborhood. Food is tasty, but parking is horrible.
Mock meat appetizers are very good. Main dishes are ok. We've had a language barrier a few times. Tried to reorder something we had before, but waitress couldn't understand us. Not horrible, but frustrating.
Would go again, but wouldn't go out of my way
Really really good! I love all the vegetarian recreations of traditionally meat dishes. I got a dish that was black mushroom, tofu, wheat gluten, and chinese greens. DELICIOUS! Also the curry triangles are just lovely.
And lunch for $7.95, can I get a HELL YEAH?
The staff is really friendly, and helpful, and parking be fairly easily found on the street.
I'm definitely going to be coming back here.
People thought this was:
Delicious and nutritious. Super friendly waitstaff who make you feel at home as a regular customer. My favorite is the Won Ton soup, which I'm quite addicted to. I crave it whenever I'm feeling under the weather or have a cold coming on. I LOVE Enjoy!
Better than (gasp) Lucky Creation! Better than Golden Era! Way better than Great Wall, or any other similar joint.
I think this is my new favorite "fake meat" style vegetarian only restaurant in town. The distinction needs to be made, this is a very imitation pork, chicken, abalone, sea bass, squid, etc. style eatery. If you're looking for mind-blowing neuvo-cuisine (is that even a real thing anymore) this is not it. But if you're looking for a veggie version of mid-class style lamb and bitter melon hot pot, you're here.
Enjoy my friends, enjoy! It looks like the lunch specials are where it's at, although I had dinner with my wife WHO IS ALLERGIC TO GLUTEN and we both had the time of our lives. Ok, I almost said "you can't do better" but you could with one exception, the description on the menu could be better. That being said, there are so many entrees that if you had more elaborate descriptions, you would have to double the physical size of the menu, which is expansive, so...

I took my friend to the airport the other day, and en route, we stopped in the City to get some dinner. She is a vegan, and well, the options are usually somewhat limited, and me being, well, not a vegan, I am not all that helpful in the decision making process.
She suggested Enjoy Vegetarian in the Sunset. In the restaurant industry, the buzzwords are usually Location, Location, Location. This place, well, does not have the location, but, must have the word of mouth, and rightfully so. They are tucked into a purely residential neighborhood, off the main Judah street drag, but, I am really happy that she picked this place.
The menu is huge, and thankfully, for a no onion or garlic eating vegan, my friend could eat anything! She was in heaven, all a flutter with limitless options. I had the Veggie Tri-Spice Chicken w/ Napa Cabbage & Basil in Clay Pot and she had the Broccoli Beef. (I use the terms Chicken and Beef very liberally here ). We also had the Fried Spring Roles.
The food was great, very flavorful, good balance between spicy and sweet and everything was very fresh. I am really starting to enjoy vegetarian/vegan food, having never given it a chance, as just a kooky fringe of the culinary world, however, I am starting to realize that I was also missing a large spectrum of the Bay Area Food Scene, and with restaurants like Enjoy Vegetarian putting out such quality stuff, maybe more people should check out something new.
4-Stars!! Joe Bob sez Check it OUT!

Friendly service, vegan food. Good fake-faux-mock meats - and lord knows I love that salty processed crap. The servers here are rad - one of them asked me how I could eat bitter melon, as we both agreed that it's kind of gnar. I explained that when I am sick (as I was, when I ate there once) that I crave things like bitter melon and bitter greens. I guess to punish the sickness in me? I also like to get won ton soup, to reward the rest of me for eating bitter melon.
Bottom line: tasty vegetarian/vegan food, cozy and relaxed environment, REALLY good won ton soup. Score!
This place is great. The little kids will not believe that this is not real meat. The best Canton style vegetarian food around the area.
I actually went to the new store that just opened in Chinatown. It is bigger, and the parking is so much better there. You guys should try going to the one in Chinatown.
Numero uno kids. I have to start off by making it clear that I am by all means NOT a vegetarian, and I love meat -very much so! I want to make this known, before taking the plunge.
My best friend and I have never before eaten at a vegetarian friendly restaurant. Our expectations were low, I will admit. I've been by this place many times, but never gave it the time of day. We decided to take a deep breath, and pull up our boots, on the recommendation of another friend of mine. This place quite simply blew our socks off.
Walking in, there are three things you immediately notice. One -this place is really clean, and well lit. Two -this place is kind of small. Three -the staff here is really friendly.
We ordered the Combination Platter (appetizer), Sweet & Sour Chicken, and the House Special Chow Mein.
The "combo-platter" was delightful. I was almost afraid to see what these meat imitating foods would taste like. I now have a new found respect for soy products, yams, and wheat gluten. Divine. The flavors of all the different foods on this platter contrasted exceptionally well with one another -this actually applies to all of the dishes we ordered.
For two adults, I would recommend getting the large platter, instead of the small. A nice preview of what was to come.
Sweet & Sour Chicken. It also came adorned with carrots, and green bell peppers. The carrots were nice and soft, not to be mistaken for mushy. The bell peppers (which I normally don't eat) were fantastic. At many other chinese restaurants, the bell peppers tend to be soggy with a drowned out taste. But not here! These bell peppers were done right. Still slightly stiff/crunchy. You benefit from the original taste of the bell pepper, AND the sweet and sour sauce. I'd give it three thumbs up, unfortunately I only have two ;)
House Special Chow Mein. This dish was prepared better than any chinese restaurant I have been to. The chow mein here was not bland in taste, and not lathered in oil and grease. It went down easy, and had great taste! The combination of mushrooms, vermicelli, bean sprouts, and others ingredients made for a mad flurry of outrageous flavor.
For dessert you choose between papaya soup, or oranges. Curious to see how the soup was, we went for it. It was great. It had fresh papaya, almonds, and and another ingredient I didn't recognize. My friend doesn't like papaya fruit, but this soup turned him around and gave him a smack in the bee-hind! Perfection in a bowl boys and girls. Perfection.
So for two people, it ran us $26 plus tip. The prices are a little higher than at say, some other places to dine for similar foods, but only by a couple dollars, really. Definitely worth a try -I am positive you will not be let down.
The staff was very nice, and very accommodating. As a quick aside however, this place is small. Almost cramped -but still cozy. Go there early to get a table. Also parking isn't exactly ideal; I had to circle the block a couple times. No parking lot, just street parking.
Vegetarian or not, ch-ch-ch-check it out, and ENJOY VEGETARIAN!
This place will definitely see me again, and they definitely have my patronage. If I go somewhere to eat and I am "just satisfied," it is really only four stars to me. In order for any place of business to get a five star rating from me, they need to exceed the standard. This place did just that. Thus I can say BAM Five stars.
People thought this was:
You know those people who say that _____ (insert something fattening, fried and/or sugary here) tastes better than sex feels?
That only means one of two things.
You either have horrible sex, or the cholesterol-&-diabetes-inducing wonder you just inhaled has completely hindered your ability to think clearly.
Because NOTHING is better than sex.
But I found something that comes pretty damn close.
The menu at Enjoy Vegetarian is completely vegan, with the exception of the walnut prawns and the noodle soups. After much browsing, I ordered the taro & sesame veggie chicken in coconut sauce. (http://static3.px.yelp...) The generous portions of taro were cubed and thoroughly cooked, tender and starchy and perfectly moist. The triangle cuts of mock chicken were delightfully flavorful, and porous enough to soak up the creamy coconut sauce. Toasted sesame seeds sprinkled on top the dish added a nice roasted flavor to the sweetness of the taro.
Each bite was an orgasmically delicious adventure, sending shivers through my body as I quivered in excitement, getting me all hot and bothered for more.
But I still think sex is better.
People thought this was:
I do enjoy Enjoy Vegetarian. My boss kept raving about this place since his new vegetarian kick started and I finally caved and joined him for lunch.
We had spring rolls, coconut sauce with taro and pumpkin and some sort of spicy "chicken" dish as well as some spiced rice. Everything was really flavorful and seemed fresh. I don't always feel that I know what I'm eating here, but as long as it tastes good I'm in. Definitely will be back.
It's hard to find a good chinese vegetarian restaurant with a variety of dishes. My fave is the dish with imitation meat. I forgot what it is called since I'm not a vegetarian, so didn't care to remember the name.
After being back in the Bay Area about a week now for a mini-vacation from Portland, I've started eating lots of meat again ('tis very difficult to eat strictly vegetarian Filipino dishes at the parents house or when visiting relatives) so yesterday while in the FiDi, I found this place for lunch. A quick walk away from Montgomery brought us to a place with lunch specials galore for about $7.50 which includes your choice of brown or white rice, spring roll and soup (I ordered Twice Cooked Pork which had enough to make me full and have leftovers the next day). Not a bad deal at all and since many people were on their lunch break, the service was pretty fast.

Enjoy, my favorite restaurant in S.F., now has another location downtown! It will be my new go-to restaurant in that area. A friend said that the food is just as good and the setting nicer.
Favorite dishes here are 1) bittermelon with tomatoes, 2) lotus root with other vegetables, 3) bean curd rolls stuffed with cabbage. The unique thing about this restaurant is: there are no bad dishes, they're ALL GOOD. This makes it fun to try new dishes each time you come here. You can also request that the dishes be cooked with no oil and/or no salt.
I take back what I said about serving fake shark fin soup below. Actually it would be great if restaurants serving shark fin offer this vegetarian alternative, and people would start ordering it once they realize it's better for their health. Shark's cartilage was traditionally thought to have some cancer-fighting properties, but given the amount of pollution in the ocean, now it actually causes cancer and sterility (mercury is a neural toxin harmful to the brain and nervous system, and sharks have the most mercury which builds up in their system as they're at the top of the food chain). People who like eating seafood consume too much mercury already.
Even though my family's favorite cuisine is Chinese, I don't go to any restaurants that serve shark's fin and it's perfectly fine because there are so many choices in the Bay Area! Top of my list of favorite restaurants to bring relatives is Enjoy. Others cuisines my relatives like are Vietnamese (Slanted Door, Out the Door, Ana Mandera), Japanese (Koo, Ebisu, DELICA-rf, ... list is too long), Thai (Marnee, Thep Phenom), Indonesian (Bamboo Village, Borobudur), and Asian fusion restaurants like Chaya, Pomelo. Of course my favorite is still Chinese (I love stir-fry Chinese greens -- all the varieties!) and I go to places that don't serve shark's fin, such as Enjoy.

I LOVE Chinese vegetarian food!!! This is my absolute favorite vegetarian restaurant in San Francisco. I have always loved tofu and other soy products and this place really satisfies my craving for that and imitation meats. My favorite dishes are the bean curd rolls with veggie, the seabass with eggplant, the rice cakes, and the enjoy fried rice. I like most anything off their menu. I've finished ever meal there satisfied and not missing meat at all. I could become vegetarian if I were able to eat there every day (^_^)
People thought this was:
Okay, this place is so good. I'm fantasizing buying the house across the street from it so I can eat there everyday.
There are tons of Chinese vegetarian restaurants in SF. This one in my humble opinion the best. We went there 3 weeks ago and had returned 3 times. After every meal there I became a happy man again.
Everything is fresh, the food comes fast and the staffs are friendlier than most Chinese restaurant. So far all the entrees we ordered are great, especially entrees with sauce.
Our favorites so far, and there are many more to try:
Coconut sauce Taro and Pumpkin
Curry Taro,
Gold Knot.
Spinach and Pine Nut fried rice.

I ate at the downtown/chinatown location first and I feel like that one was the better of the two, even though I think this was the original.
We had a variety of dishes that included the fried chicken, salty spicy fried tofu, house chow mein, house fried rice and a few others. All pretty good. I felt it was better at the downtown location and it also had a lot more drink varieties.
The plus that this place gets is that it came with the dessert red bean soup. That was quiet yummy.
Still the best game in town for yummy vegetarian food. I don't get here enough because it's waaaay out in the cuts, but I guess that's OK. It makes it even more ENJOYable when the opportunity arises to stop by and eat.
I am also still completely enamored with the staff. It's obvious that they are genuinely kind people, and not faking the funk for their 20% tip.

a must for vegetarians, this place is amazing. i recommend going with a group and sharing. there is so much to choose from. everything we had was enjoyed by all, including the meat eaters. the staff was friendly, patient and helpful. i'm looking forward to trying the other locations.
This is my new favorite vegetarian restaurant. My husband and I came for lunch and loved it! We ordered the Spicy Eggplant with Sea bass and the Golden Knot (Bok choy with stuffed tofu skins). Both were incredible. My husband is a complete carnivore and loved the food! I highly recommend this place to people that have folks that are not vegetarians.
Food = 5 stars
Service = 3 stars (average Chinese restaurant service)
OK...so the entire family has recently gone vegetarian. Me, the kids...everyone but the cats. We still let them eat meat. But, even that may change soon.
So, finding vegetarian take out that the kids will eat has been terribly difficult. (So, if anyone has suggestions; please, please, please help a sista out!)
Last night, Pearl (our new cat) had to go to the vet. So, I didn't have time to make dinner. This place was on the way home. Having read reviews on Yelp, I decided to give them a try.
I had my two kids, my nephew (2 years old) and our cat with me. There was no where to park my truck. So, I created a very illegal space on the corner. My son was holding the cat. My nephew was crying. My daughter was climbing over the seats...back and forth. It was chaos!! so, I ran in...grabbed a menu...ran back to my car to decide what to order...ran in placed the order and then stood outside next to my truck while my daughter ran up and down the street...back and forth (that's just how she gets down).
The hostess was soooooooo kind!!! She came outside to me with the food. Gave it to me. She then took my credit card in (while I reorganized the children, food, pet situation and then she brought me my receipt...etc.
Now, the food came to $35.00. I tipped her $5.00. I wish I could have tipped her $105 because her coming out to me was such a GREAT help! Sometimes, little things mean so much.
The food was good. My favorites were the Stir Fried Mixed Green Vegetables (Yau Choi, Shanghai Bok Choy & Broccoli) and the Kung Pao Chicken! My son enjoyed everything! My daughter is serious about her vegetarian eating. She was not even thinking about chewing anything that resembled meat. So, she enjoyed the veggies! My nephew? Well, he's still a carnivore. So, his mom packed him something with dead animal in it and he ate that.
I will definitely go back. But, next time I will try the Eggplant with chili sauce and I will leave the cat at home..

I'm not vegetarian, but this place could almost convert me. Many provinces in China have their own vegetarian cuisine, mainly developed for non-meat eating Buddhist monks and nuns.
This place is distinctly Cantonese. Many dishes are vegetarian versions of Cantonese meat dishes. Gluten, Mock (fake) or vegetarian "meat" is used instead of real meat. Vegetarian meats are created to simulate the taste & texture of real meats and they come in all varieties: Chicken, Shrimp, Fish, Pork, Kidney, Beef etc. In some cases (when it's made well), the texture and taste are so similar to the meat they are trying to simulate, it's almost like eating the real thing.
This place is a good place to sample Cantonese vegetarian cuisine. The food here is authentic and quite phenomenal. Service is good here as well. They're attentive, helpful and friendly. The restaurant is not fancy, but it's nice, clean and bright.
If you're vegetarian you'll probably fall in love with this place. Even if you're not vegetarian, you should try this place. You might be surprised how much you like "vegetarian meat". This is healthy eating at its best.

Totally enjoyed a dinner at Enjoy Vegetarian. We had the aptly named Fragrant Crispy Chicken, Walnut Prawns, and Spinach/Pine Nut Fried (brown) Rice. The service was quick, just attentive enough, and the food was very tasty. My wife thought I was joking when I told her the prawns weren't real! Even the pickled vegetable appetizer that is automatically brought to your table when you sit down was quite good - it had spicy chiles, whole black peppers, and the usual pickled/vinegar lettuce-like vegetable. We were given a complimentary green tea gelatin dessert, which was just "ok". I'll be back there soon!
Very good food, lovely space, nice staff. This place has stood the test of time; it's awesome and clearly work to bring in outstanding produce. Presentation is interesting. I always make a point of grabbing a meal here. I am not vegan, but this is still one of my favorite restaurants.
Last night my girlfriend and I went here to eat. She was in 7th Heaven. As a vegan, she was not used to having "chicken nuggets" for an appetizer nor being able to choose from anything on the menu. As a non-vegan, I was also very impressed. She has had me try some pretty funky vegan/vegetarian knock offs of meat and dairy products, but Enjoy Vegetarian was great. The chicken nuggets actually tasted like chicken nuggets (by the way for those whose might not be aware, everything here is Vegetarian even the "chicken", "beef", "steak", etc.) My girlfriend had Eggplant w/ Strings Beans and Black Bean sauce. She said "It was f*ck amazing." On a recommendation of the waitress I had the sweet and sour chicken . It was really good too. I hate to exaggerate but if I hadn't known that I was eating fake meat I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference.
I highly recommend Enjoy Vegetarian.
People thought this was:
Enjoy Veggie is a great down-home Chinese dining experience. Just like good homecooking, it has its mind blowing amazing nights and it's just OK nights.
Their 'chicken' is wonderful, their 'beef' has its off and on nights, and the 'ham' is my favorite.
The staff is wonderful! They always leave you with a nice sweet treat. Whether it be a slice of orange or a sweet white fungus soup. My server explained to me that white fungus is great for the skin and it's like, "lotion from the inside out." Whatever. It was delicious and I'm sold!
While Golden Era has huge lines, Enjoy has a neighborhood family-owned feel and you're doing a mitzva by supporting more delicious family owned and operated businesses.

With Good Earth doing well, Cafe Gratitude closing down, and a new veggie Chinese place going in by Holy Gelato, I though I would remind people this AWESOME, totally veggie place still exists, is still awesome, and I hope you like it! TRY IT OUT!.... solid food, great family style service, and away from crowds by a couple blocks.

Let's make this simple....
don't make it about vegetarian. Everything on the menu reads like meat…

Although I have never actually eaten in the restaurant, I am no stranger to their take-out. My dad is a vegetarian so whenever my mom is "too busy" (or too lazy) to cook, I can expect to have take-out from here for dinner. Two of my favorite dishes are the eggplant and sea bass and the curry chicken pot. Their eggplant is always super tender and is so delicious with the sea bass. Their curry is nice and spicy, with a good amount of heat but not too much. Although their curry is a little thicker than I prefer, I can always eat a big bowl of rice with it. Yum!
All this talk about their curry and eggplant is making me hungry...time to raid the fridge for leftovers ;D
People thought this was:
Enjoy is spectacular. I'm the meat-eater of the household, as well as being from the meat-and-potatoes Midwest US of A. My better half, along with having all the sense, also chooses to both eat frugally and meatlessly. Enjoy scored on both counts: cheap and good.
I've found that I'd rather have a great meatless meal than one made up of poor substitutes. This is not what I found at Enjoy: the veggies and "meats" alike were great, if not a little salty for some palates. The porks were especially well done the night we were there.
I'm looking forward to trying the entire menu at Enjoy. That should tell what you you need to know: cheap, good, fast, and friendly.
People thought this was:
I've been here a couple times and have never left disappointed. There is so much variety, everything is delicious, AND to top if off, it's Chinese food that's not oily! What more could I ask?
I like the cashew nut shrimp and LOVE the deluxe vegetable thin noodle (vermicelli). The coconut taro dish is pretty heavy, but still yummy. If anyone's down to try this vegetarian dish, you know who will always be up for it! :)
I should note though that parking is really difficult in this area...but the delicious food and friendly service makes me forget all about it (till I find myself circling again).
People thought this was:
Everything on the menu is delicious but the crispy chicken and shark fin soup are must-haves! My boyfriend, who's not a vegetarain, loves their "fatty pork" dish.
The food is always consistent and staff is friendly without being overbearing.
This place is a gem!
People thought this was:
One of our favorite vegetarian restaurants when we come in to the City. Everything is good and people are friendly.
AIIIIIIITE! so the whole dang menu is vegetarian. WHAT WHAT?!?! i like that. it feels good to be able to pick any option, fakin bacon sounding or not, and know it's safe and alllllllll good. TONS of choices. fast and friendly. SWEETNESS.
People thought this was:
meat meat meat. love it gotta have it , . . . . but can deal if there is a tasty alternative. This place is pretty good for not serving things on the hoof.
I wish they stayed open a little later. I can't always make a 9:00 closing when all I really want is to snack on the Fried Curry Potato Triangle Samosas.
These Samosas are delicious. The folks here are real nice in that I have called ahead to place an order and arrived after they have closed to pick it up.
I'm working my way through this menu, but am stuck on the Samosas.
People thought this was:
This is my new favorite Veggie Restaurant in SF. Hands down. The selection is absoulutely amazing. So many choices, it's actually hard to make a decision. But everything there is fantastic. I really enjoyed their Tri Spice "Chicken"! YUM. The staff is really friendly and helpful.... the one down side is that parking sucks. Other than that, it's the best place ever!
People thought this was:
I'm not "delicate" in the same way that ladies back at the turn of the century were "delicate". I won't faint if you say a bad word. I can open my own door when disembarking the stagecoach. I wear fashions that brazenly show off my ankles.
I will, however, be nearly unconscious for days if you feed me MSG. It's my Achilles heal, or... to stick with the theme, my much-too-tight corset. This is why I appreciate Enjoy Vegetarian restaurant. Their fake meat and soups are completely free of MSG and other yucky stuff.
Three stars because the food is also, unfortunately, free of onion and garlic, due to Enjoy's adherence to Buddhist eating (so says their menu). I can appreciate that, but also miss the kick of garlic in the food.
The bright atmosphere is cheery, but more action than I was looking for, so we had takeout. We only waited 10 minutes! Overall, a fine place for a good meal.
People thought this was:
My family just got home from eating at Enjoy Vegetarian Restaurant, and we are delighted with our experience. I'm the only vegetarian, so ordinarily we do not go to vegetarian restaurants, but once a year, on my birthday, I get to pick the place where we eat , and they are resigned to eating a meal without their beloved meat. They hope they'll be able to find something that they can tolerate for one meal. Well, not anymore.
Tonight, I wasn't the only person excited about my food. Nor was I the only person to mention the idea of coming back to try some of the dishes that we didn't get to. We were slightly less than thrilled with the BBQ pork appetizer (it was on the cold and soggy side), although the taste was good and my boyfriend greatly enjoyed the "texture," but that was more than made up for by the utter deliciousness of all the food that followed.
Everything was delicious, but three stood out as being extraordinary. First was the taro and chicken with coconut sauce, which, if you love both taro and coconut sauce as much as I do, you will love a LOT (the vegetarian chicken is also delicious). Second, we got the eggplant and sea bass because it was mentioned in so many reviews, and believe me, it lives up to the hype. Some of us thought this was the best dish we got. Others thought the braised spare ribs with dai kon was the best. Bottom line: it was all good, and most of it was excellent.
In addition, the food all came very quickly after we ordered it, and the staff was very nice. They gave us each a free sweet soup-type thing for dessert. Although the restaurant was mostly empty when we arrived, it was a good thing we made a reservation, because it filled up pretty quickly after we were seated.
Someday soon, we will be making a reservation here again, and probably again soon after that. And after we've worked our way through the entire menu, we will start over again.

So my boyfriend and I decided to do this thing where we only eat meat once a week. I actually proposed starting off with eating meat 3 times a week (as any good addict would do), but in the end I was overruled.
So it's a whole new world when you only get one shot at meat a week. Crappy meat turned out to be simply not an option. Even previous "luxury" side meats like bacon with my scrambled eggs or on my cobb salad became an unacceptable choice for my meat day. Fast food meat became unthinkable. My meat days slow began to be elevated to the level of holiday feasts, where only the finest quality was selected.
But there always came a time during the rest of the week, where I still needed a fix...err...I mean where I still had a craving for meat, and I finally found a faux-meat restaurant that satisfied. I ordered the sweet and sour veggie chicken dish, the veggie chicken/mushroom/vegetables lettuce cups and the house fried rice with veggie ham and veggie barbecued pork. Absolutely amazing! My brain, nor my stomach could tell the difference. I am now a believer in faux meat. Thank you Enjoy Vegetarian Restaurant, for helping me kick my meat addiction.
However, I am curious to try some of the other dishes, like the veggie beef short ribs or the shrimp dishes, because that seems a bit harder to pull off? But that just gives me an excuse to come back here sooner, rather than later.
People thought this was:
I approach all veggie restaurants with skepticism because they usually over compensate with extra salt/msg/oil to make up for the lack of meat, to please the crowd. Similar with fake meats, they're usually really rubbery and taste kind of like meat, yet soooo not meat.
But this soon became my all time favorite veggie restaurant. If i can give it 10 stars, I would give it 11 :) It makes my carnivore housemates salivate when i suggest this place for dinner!
