How. Did. I. Not. Know. About. This. Place?
Sometimes the best meals are the ones that are spontaneous! Well yes I admit that I found you on yelp, but I was surprised that none of my vegan friends knew about this place.
The decor may not be very appealing but don't let that detract you from the goal, which is food! And it is all types of glorious! I had the orange seitan with broccoli, and my bf had the sweet & sour soy chickn. From the thick, sweet and savory sauce, to the crispy texture of the soy meat, your left asking for more. The only problem is finding space for more eats.
I'll be back with a vengeance, and this time I'll be prepared wearing my big girl sweat pants.
I've heard good things about this place and many of them are true. The one pro about this restaurant is the location. It is challenging to find vegan food at night in Brooklyn Heights. This is your standard Asian inspired vegan restaurant down to the orange slices at the end of the meal. There is plenty of seating that can be arranged for larger groups. The service was good. I had the curry which came in a simmer hot pot.
Great lunch deal at this location and portion is pretty big for the price. It's very tasty and it always taste fresh. My favorite dish here is the basil soy protein, sooo delicious and the vegi wonton soup.
Not the greatest Chinese food, so don't expect to get the best authentic food. BUT for the $5.95 lunch special, you get a soup, rice, and an entree. It's a sold vegetarian spot, and the food is good enough and the price is right! Definitely bonus star for the prices. Friendly service. A great value spot.
*****Message for the restaurant: Please clean up Christmas and Valentine's Day decoration immediately! My Taiwanese friend thinks you have a potential.

This was one of the worst Chinese food I ate. I feel like I was deceived by good rating. After I ate here, I started to doubt that these who wrote good reviews about this restaurants might like this restaurant not because their food is good, but because they can eat a lot with less money.
I took visitor from abroad to Brooklyn Promenade and looked restaurants near there. The visitor was vegetarian, so I searched for vegetarian restaurant. From outside, I saw only two customers eating and the red lighting was depressing. However, I told my visitor that the rating this restaurant is good, so their food should be good.
When we got seated, I noticed that they still have Christmas decoration on the window. Moreover, I found Valentines Day decoration was still there, too. However, I thought if the food is good, I don't mind.
We ordered Wanton soup, Fried Tofu, Sauteed Spinach, Fried Soy Protein with Asparagus and Zucchini.
Wanton Soup was complimentary. That was nice. The soup had nap cabbage and hint of ginger flavor. I often have ginger, so I know how ginger taste like, but I felt this ginger flavor in soup was artificial.
Fried Tofu was crispy, but the sauce came with tofu was too sweet. We asked to bring soy sauce instead.
Sauteed Spinach was okay.
Fried Soy Protein with Asparagus and Zucchini was so-so. I liked the texture of Soy Protein.
For two people, we ordered too much food, and we only ate half of them. So if you want to fill your stomach cheaply, and pick the menu carefully, maybe this place is okay, but I don't recommend this place for foodie.
My friend analyzed this place has a potential. Actually, their service was good. The location is Brooklyn Heights and people don't mind pay more. Anyway, they need to remove Christmas and Valentine's Day decoration first. As a customer, I didn't feel passion from them.
I went there for a late lunch and I was gladly surprised. I had the basil soy protein sauté and my friend the Pad Thai. It was nothing too fancy, but very honest and good. I would not make the detour a go there, but I enjoyed trying it. The place is not very pretty, but the view by the window is nice.
I ordered and loved the scallion pancakes, steamed spinach dumplings and the steamed pumpkin. Yes, these are all listed as appetizers but it was enough to leave me full to the brim (that was without eating the pumpkin – I was too full). My entire meal cost $15 and although we had to wait a while for our food to come out and our orders did not arrive at the same time, I still thoroughly enjoyed this place.
Don't be fooled if it's empty when you're passing – the food (well, the food I got) is good! I can't say I was interested in any of the main entrees since I am trying to stay away from soy / fake meats and the like but they have healthy choices – and that is hard to find!
Solid option for vegetarian Asian fare, but service can be slow.
I really like the big windows in front that overlook the intersection–they make great use of the second floor location. There were maybe two or three other parties in the restaurant, but it took about five to ten minutes for our server to come greet us and take our orders. We felt awkward because she was attending to the other guests during this time. Once she did come to our table, however, she was pretty attentive throughout our dinner.
We ordered spring rolls, miso soup and our entrees, which were all pretty standard fare. They had Asian beers, so we enjoyed some Tsing Tao and Sapporo as well. The portions were very large, but we were hungry after walking over the Brooklyn Bridge and managed to cram it all in. Overall, it was great having the opportunity to get a wide range of vegetarian Asian fare, but the food and experience were pretty average.
