No longer veg:(

Sadly this is no longer a vegetarian restaurant. They have a vegetarian menu, but it is much MUCH smaller and they now also have meat on the menu. I used to love this place, but am sad to say I won’t return.

Cons: Few options, They serve meat now

Great find

Great little dive in Chinatown. Offers 100% vegetarian Malaysian and Chinese food. Most menu also no onion or garlic if you follow Jain or strict Hindu guidelines.

Pros: Menu, Location, Fruit drinks

Cons: One server, Small

BBQ noodles nothing to write home about

Seems clean and good for a quick bite in Chinatown. Sadly the noodles tasted a little lackluster and arrived tepid.

Pros: Wide selection , Good location

Cons: Food wasn’t great

Awesome Malaysian Food

My wife is Malaysian and we came here on vacation. Place is small but packed. Service is kind of careless but the food is good. Portions are on the smaller size.

Pros: Easily vegan options

Cons: Service

Comida asiática fantástica

Probamos dos platos: cerdo agridulce y pollo frito, y ambos sabían exactamente igual que la versión carnívora. Hasta el arroz blanco que acompañaba los platos estaba perfecto. El local es modesto pero el chico que nos atendió fue muy amable.

Pros: Carta muy amplia, Muchos platos con carne, Raciones abundantes

Cons: Local modesto

Malaysian vegan spot

This place is great! They have some Chinese dishes, some Malay dishes (roti canai), and even sushi. We have never tried the sushi, but we love that salt and pepper chicken and the roti canai.

A welcome addition to Chinatown, easy on the wallet.

NYC's Chinatown is filled with restaurants, but not that many where vegetarians and vegans can eat. This place, in the heart of Chinatown, offers a nice menu, with many vegan items. The food--if not particularly healthy, with a bunch of faux meats--is quite tasty. The service is very good and friendly, and the prices are quite reasonable.

There are better places in the area: the two Bodhi restaurants offer more variety, and the quality is higher in Luanne's Wild Ginger and Jisu; and Spring Cafe is also inexpensive (though not really suited for sit down). If you want a sit down meal with a bang for your buck and not too pricey, however, this place is fine.

Pros: Good value, Good tasting food, Friendly service.

Cons: Not particularly health oreinted
