ordered the mock pork bun, turnip cakes, shrimp dumplings, and rice rolls. all very good and enough for two hungry eaters.

I heard of this place from an Instagram Reel, and I was very excited to have vegetarian dim sum for the first time. There were plenty of options to choose from at a fair price point ($4-7/dim sum dish) as well as whole menu items. I particularly enjoyed the sticky rice in lotus leaves the most! When I came on Monday around 1 pm, the place was almost empty, and I only had to wait 15 minutes max. Location-wise, you have to walk a bit from the metro, but it's easy to find. It's a pretty relaxed place, and the waitress was friendly. There is also a bathroom in the back. Considering that there are not many vegetarian dim sum places, I would definitely come back again and try some other dishes!

I always get the same things here. these are the must-try items. SECRET MENU ITEM: pan fried mai fun topped with saucy egg white, veggie lamb, shiitake mushroom, and cilantro Wheat gluten - curry, soy sauce, sweet and sour, bbq Veggie salted fish fried rice

Came here on a Friday afternoon, and it was completely empty, just my vibe. The waiter saw me enter, and gave me menu. She left and came back after 5 mins, and I asked for a few recommendations. She was kind and great, and accommodated my friends and I, and our taste palettes. We got one boiled spinach dumplings and one boiled seseme dumplings, and they came out hot and steamy within 5 mins. My friends and I tried one of each, and for vegetarian dim sum, this was very impressive. For vegetarians its hard to come by a place like this, but man aren't we glad this exist. Obviously not good as compared to normal dim sum, but accounting for accommodations, and the peace of mind to not ask about if anything had meat, this was great. The spinach dumplings were solid (3 for 6 dollars), and the seseme dumplings (3 for 6 dollars) felt very much like a boiled soft ball with a thick peanut butter inside. It was sweet, but any more than one would be too much in my opinion. They also provide tea instead of water, which is always a green flag when it comes to asian eats in ctown. Great vegetarian option, no line, fast, efficient, and helpful service when asking questions. Would come back with vegetarian friends to try more of the menu. Keep in mind it is cash only, but it is also slightly more expensive then your typical dim sum place in ctown (still nothing too crazy).

This is definitely more of a "hole in the wall" type of restaurant. It is cash only so come prepared. The prices are fair and service was average. The food itself was just fine, but keep in mind I only ordered 3 plates. I got the treasure ball assorted flavor, deep fried vegetarian crescents and fried noodles with mixed vegetables (not pictured). *watermelon juice was made fresh *treasure balls were different in my opinion. it felt like a mashed taro root fried ball. a great basis to add soy sauce/chili oil *deep fried vegetarian crescents were a fried dumpling. the texture inside had a nice crunchy from the veggies and a chewier filling as well that I couldn't identify. it was different than your typical dumpling *fried noodles with mixed vegetables (not pictured) was just fine. this is a dish I order at most Chinese restaurants, it's nostalgic to me and I base my reviews usually off of this dish. The sauce was less salty than I would have liked, but still a solid dish for the value overall, I think this restaurant might be on the "blander" side but that might be because they go lighter on the sodium imo. I don't think this is a bad option in the area and I would come again with friends to try more dishes

A true hole in a wall, the vegetarian dumpling house provides a plant based twist on traditional Chinese dishes. Some of the things we had were the "shrimp" dumplings, the corn congee, and the "pork" buns. The prices were extremely affordable and you can truly have a full meal while staying within a budget. The restaurant is quite cozy, with the space being quiet and easy to enjoy the meal with your party. Overall, I will definitely come back to the heart of chinatown for an amazing meal

Nice to know that this place is still going strong. During my first solo trip to The City my friends took me to Vegetarian Dim Sum House (one of them was vegan) to soak up the copious amounts of alcohol we had consumed. We ordered: Rice rolls with mock shrimp Spinach dumplings Mock pork buns Sesame paste buns Fried banana rolls And my personal favorite, one of the fried noodle dishes featuring extra crispy noods, mushrooms, snow peas, a mock meat and a tasty sauce. Aside from the noodles, I wasn't keen on any dish trying to capture the flavor / texture of meat. My philosophy is to allow the vegetables to shine and be themselves. I think vegetarians / vegans and omnivores alike can find tasty dishes to enjoy, so don't be shy to step out of your comfort zone. Otherwise, expect standard Manhattan prices and no discernible parking. Get yourself a Metro card and explore, eat, and live!
