What a hidden gem! This cozy, family-owned vegan Chinese restaurant is run by the sweetest couple, and it's truly a delight to visit. The atmosphere is simple and welcoming, perfect for a casual meal, and you can really feel the love they put into the food and service.The lady who runs the front is incredibly friendly and attentive--she genuinely loves chatting with her guests and makes you feel like you're part of the family. She had great menu suggestions and even shared a bit about how they started the restaurant, which was such a nice personal touch.The food itself is delicious, with fresh ingredients and authentic flavors. We started with the hot and sour soup, which had just the right kick and tangy goodness. The tofu on an iron plate was sizzling and packed with flavor, and the Szechuan eggplant was melt-in-your-mouth tender with a perfectly spiced sauce. Everything came out quickly but tasted like it had been made with a lot of care.If you're looking for a quick, and heartwarming meal, this spot is a must-visit. It's small but full of charm, and the warmth of the owners makes it an experience you'll want to come back to. Highly recommend!

Mountain View only has one fully vegan restaurant and this is a great one to represent for the veg heads out there. Run by a small family, we felt right at home with their service and great food.We ordered three entrees and some brown rice on the side to share. Each dish was about $16 so average pricing for the area.The Basil Tempura was highly recommended and we did enjoy the spices they used for the dish. I thought it would be a bit crispier given that it's tempura but they do add on a light sauce, making it more of a stir-fry consistency.We also tried their Dry Braised String Beans with Soy Chicken and this was another standout. Like the previous dish, they do go a bit heavier on the sauce than I'd imagine so it's not a fully dry stir-fried dish, but a great one nonetheless.My favorite dish was their veggie ribs which was essentially their take on beef and broccoli. Their use of mushrooms here as the beef was ingenious and the meaty texture of it made it taste very realistic.Thanks Garden Fresh for being the lone fully vegan restaurant in the area. You're definitely a keeper.

I'm not vegetarian or vegan, but the food here is very tasty and cooked really well. The owners are also super sweet and hardworking. The chao mian has good wok hei and the vegetables are crunchy. I can hear the fire/gas of the wok in the kitchen so you know it's legit.I personally don't care for meat alternatives so I would suggest the taro and tofu stir fry special and any of the noodles dishes.

A delectable meal that isn't overpowering. Stopped in for lunch and was presently surprised. The service was speedy and kind, food was yummy and filling, and overall vibe was filled with love/natural light/and beautiful plants. A fully vegan restaurant that deserves your patronage

Sunday lunch is a la carte only and generally okay, though not great. Curry fish has home style vegetable (which I liked) and curry (good) with gluten fish cakes not that tasty. Broccoli chicken has good broccoli with no-taste gluten chicken. Brown rice is extra costing a starbucks coffee. Hopefully, this is just one day hiccup. Weekday lunch menu looks much better with reasonable price.

Great food, and feel!Service was quick and quality was 10/10Authentic feeling is also comforting and heart warming

This was my first time eating vegan Chinese food. I ordered the chow mein and it tasted great! If I didn't know this restaurant was vegan, I wouldn't have known this dish was vegan. Impressive! I highly recommend this place! The service and the ambiance was reasonable!

My visit on 10/13 consisted of an order of crunchy (or crispy? can't remember) sesame vegan chicken, Kung Pao chicken, and a side of white rice. Downed it with some jasmine tea with two slices of cake (chocolate and carrot) and my meal for two was complete. Unfortunately the sesame chicken was not crispy, which cost it a star, I mean what is crispy sesame chicken if it ain't crispy?! Anyway, everything else was delicious. Service was slower than usual but that would be due to the crowd that was consistently coming through the doors and as always service was friendly and courteous. Love the friendliness and hospitality of the owners. Once again, I highly stand by my recommendation.

Loved every dish I had this time! The service is wonderful I love the lady who runs this place - she is super polite, kind, and makes my day every time I visit this place. We tried: 1. Hot and sour soup (5/5): It was extremely delicious. Hot and spicy, perfect for the rainy weather. 2. Veggie ribs (5/5): Tastes like soft chewier seitan. We asked for extra spicy, and this was extremely hot! So watch out if you make modifications.3. Veggie duck (5/5): My favorite! Its a dish I always get because it's super filling (most quantity of mock meat / protein you can get in a dish here). It's batter fried so I often don't eat the "skin" but it's tasty af. We asked for extra spicy but this dish is never spicy no matter what we request . 4. Jasmine tea (5/5): Surprisingly, I love this tea. It was perfect to have this in the winter. Try the veggie ribs, and veggie duck if you're visiting this place for the first time. 2 other options is Kung pao chicken and black pepper chicken - don't forget to ask them to make them spicy!

It's ok. It's vegan Americanized Chinese food.4 stars:szechuan eggplantdry braised string beans - fake meat was meh.3 stars:tofu delight2 stars:Hong Kong style crispy noodles - the noodles weren't right. It was more like instant ramen noodles.
