Lily’s Vegan Pantry

Lily's Vegan Pantry is a jackpot for frozen vegan goodies at fair prices. They've got a solid range of vegan meats that can jazz up your plant-based cooking game. Plus, the staff here is nice and quick to help you out.



I splurged on the vegan oxtail for $13, and let's just say it wasn't my thing. Ended up tossing the whole thing. Also grabbed a couple of onigiris at $5 a pop, but they were seriously lacking in the veggie meat department - felt like munching on plain rice balls. On the flip side, their beef jerky was a flavor bomb, totally worth snagging.

Lily's Vegan Pantry is a go-to spot for stocking up on vegan cooking essentials without burning a hole in your pocket. Just skip the ready made items.

It's so wonderful to see an entirely vegan grocery store here in the city and wish there was one near where I lived. This Taiwanese based market offers a variety of vegan products including a lot of vegan meats that are great if you are looking to adopt a more plant-based lifestyle or are looking for options to entertain a vegan guest.

The shop has a lot of dry and frozen goods in nicely organized aisles. We were the only shoppers in the morning we went, so it was easy to peruse the selection.

I would love it if they had some kind of deli or prepared foods section. I would immediately buy up some baked treats or pre-made cold/hot foods to take home if they offered this kind of section.

I really enjoyed shopping here. They don't have another brunch but you won't be disappointed. If you're hungry, try to get an onigiri for a small snack! It's really good! Till I tried, I wasn't sure about the taste since most of the store disappointed me very few portions for the ingredients. :'(
I think this store is owned by Taiwanese ppl since I saw most of the products were from Taiwan.

I'm a former NY'er who went out for Chinese food at least once a week with my family throughout my childhood. I moved to Florida and continued to go out for Chinese food and shop at Asian grocery stores.

We love Chinese food so much that when my husband and I got married, we held a dim sum banquet on the days before AND after the wedding! We had the banquets at the restaurant that we frequented a few times every week.

Because of the pandemic, we stopped going out to eat but we didn't stop enjoying delicious Chinese food and it's all because of May Wah frozen food. Lily's carries the food that is served in the NYC May Wah restaurant, so we are still eating delicious Chinese food!

We grow a lot of veggies so after harvesting greens, peppers, cucumbers, etc., I go into my freezer and get a pack of plant-based Citrus Spare Ribs, Teriyaki Duck, Ginger Chicken, Black Pepper Steak, Lemon Chicken or BBQ ribs. They cook up quickly in the pan of stir-fried veggies and make for quick and delicious dinners. Each pack holds two servings. They also offer large bags that have pounds of food, but so far the small bags are working for us.

The price is very reasonable - each portion is under $3 - you can't beat that!

We last ordered a good supply of May Wah food and got free shipping. Next time, we plan on trying the plant-based Char Siu and other products. If only I still lived in NY, you'd find me shopping at Lily's often, but lucky for me, they'll deliver to my door!

If you are looking for vegetarian and meat, alternative food, then this place has an ample supply. I am giving it four stars because of the customer service and overhearing them complain about customers. Who knows if they complain about me.

All vegan grocery. It makes it easy to look through for things such as ingredients. Lily's Vegan Pantry has canned, frozen, and refrigerated stuff. Fairly okay prices. This could be lots more but they don't gouge you.

It has a lot of variety for a small store but it seems a lot of the drinks and food is Asian. Of course that's not surprising because the owner is Asian and it's on the edge of Chinatown. They supply a lot of imitation meat and tofu to Chinese restaurants. Among the drinks are aloe vera, and there's lots of grain milks. The frozen foods include many meat substitutes like chicken nuggets, drumsticks, sausages, and other things. Has substitutes for almost any kind of meat. They look and taste almost the same that anyone can be fooled into thinking it's the real thing. Check out being a member which gives you savings on many items. This lets you save a lot more if you buy a lot.

Has good prices on almost everything. It packs a lot into a small place. They have lots of money saving specials.

It's so great to have a fully vegan grocery that is actually decently affordable! Sure, stocking up on all the frozen vegan goodies and splurging on a vegan Japanese Spongy cheesecake ($16, shout out to KozyToast! Check out their online ordering too!!) will rack up the receipt, but it's so worth it. They have everything from black sesame paste, basics like sesame oil for $3.80 (decent price compared to American grocery stores, though more expensive than some Chinese stores deeper in Chinatown), frozen stuff like general Tso's "chicken" and citrus ginger chicken starting at about $5/bag, vegan jerky 3 bags/$10 (cheapest I've seen anywhere!), etc etc etc. A vegan's dream! The employees are also super nice. It's a super tiny store, but they have all the vegan meat substitutes you could ever want.

Plus you can stock up on the BBQ meat from Buddha Bodai down the street, for the same price as what you get ordering in ($9). A splurge? Sure. Delicious? Without a doubt.

This is a very good vegan only store. Don't let the size fool you, even though the pantry is small they have a wide variety of foods. I enjoyed the vegan rice balls very much. The vegan dumplings are okay, but not a favorite for me, I prefer the ones from H Mart. Located on the fringe of Chinatown it is well worth the time to checkout the various vegan foods available. Some of the items you will find are quite unique.

One bite into their hot spicy beef jerky- I'm completely converted. No less than 3 times I asked- this is not meat??!

The jerky is hefty square pieces with chew and stringiness beneath a generous coating of curry powder and earthy spices and strong red pepper leaving you wanting more. And wondering how the heck they made something that taste more jerky than jerky tastes itself?!

The store is bright, clean, odorless and full of organic, vegan wholefoodesque selections. The staff were warm and inviting, never a second away from a perplex expression ready to cater.

I think I'm going to need a box of jerky (3 flavors) to give away as Christmas presents Bc they are having a 3 for $10 special and no real meat jerky is this inexpensive and taste this meaty!

LVP definitely has made a fan out of me today.

Great place to buy vegan products! I recommend the frozen abalone, eel, and salmon/fish.
