Vegetarian Chinese food. My favorite was the “roast pork” fried rice. I personally thought the rest was decent but as someone who does enjoy meat, it definitely felt like it was missing something. I can see how this would be amazing for vegetarians though.

Really great vegetarian/vegan restaurant in Chinatown with tons of vegan chicken options. They have dim sum on weekends too!

This is the place to go for vegetarians and meat eaters.  The restaurant is fully vegetarian (and kosher) but they manipulate the food (tofu or soy product) to resemble meat.  My favorite is the BBQ roasted meat that resembles roasted pork.  I find that it always is moist and packed with pork flavor.  

They recently renovated and most of the round tables have been removed replaced with rectangular ones.  Bench seating is now along the perimeter.  Another plus is they now accept credit cards!
