Was disappointed to read my mock general Tso's may have been real chicken as their Yelp says it's a vegetarian restaurant so I didn't specify. Regardless if it was vegan or not the sauce was just sugar…fried crab rangoons were also sweet and far too bready. Restaurant was cluttered and seemed understaffed, I felt bad for ordering bc everyone was working so hard…a lot of improvements needed.

This is our go-to Chinese takeout spot in Richmond! We love all of the vegetarian options, especially the veg hot and sour soup! The sesame tofu is excellent and the tofu is so crispy. The veggie lo mein is also great! Highly recommend!

WARNING!
They have a vegetarian menu and a meat/fish menu.
The menu items on both have IDENTICAL NAMES!
You must explain to the cashier that you are ordering the vegetarian version and clarify you do not want fish sauce or any other animal in your food.
It can be difficult to get a word in edgewise but be patient.
I've been vegan or vegetarian for 35 years until I came to this place and got a fried rice for lunch. Ended up eating two mouthfuls before I realized.
Then drove all the way back and asked for the correct item.
By the time I left she was convinced it was all my fault and she had taught me the 'correct' way to order.
It's great that they have vegetarian stuff, but for me the correct way to order is to go someplace that isn't hostile to vegetarians. There are many other restaurants to go to!

Best Chinese food in Virginia! Also, chicken wings are fire! Beef on a stick is a must. Secret tip, order in when getting food. I swear the food is better when they get to know you. Cheers!Vegetarian options: They are great! Try all of them.

The owner is such a nice person. I’ve been here several times and haven’t had a bad experience. The food in my opinion is the best Chinese food in Richmond.

I don’t ever leave a review. However, after eating multiple bites of my food and thinking about how seriously good it is, I couldn’t not. I got C25, the flavor and quality is ridiculously good

This is my go to food stop anytime I'm in town.
The braised bean curd is life changing :p
This is my favorite Chinese takeout restaurant in Richmond! I absolutely love their vegetarian menu, it is quite extensive and the flavors for everything that we have ordered are exquisite. I don’t especially love their veg mock Mongolian beef and mock hot and spicy beef! You don’t typically see these types of dishes available for vegetarians at most chinese restaurants and I am really grateful for the bounty of options. Also, you can’t go wrong with a cup of their hot and sour soup, so comforting and flavors are well-balanced.

The food was amazing here, if I didn't have a Karen in the line complaining my lunch would have been perfect!!
I always get take out from here. The owners are so friendly. Because yesterday was mid autumn festival they treated me exceptionally well I highly recommend this restaurant.

Ordered a big meal this weekend, everything was amazing. Of the Chinese food available in Richmond, the one that is most authentic to my childhood.
