Enjoy Vegetarian. Okay, I Will.

My local store on Geary.
Also has locations in the Sunset & Chinatown.

Chinese food in the city can be a hit or miss- even the friendly foodie can admit this. When you find your place though, then you know that’s it. 

After a yelp excursion, I came across enjoy vegetarian but was confused because their menu is full of ‘meat’ items. Feeling silly, I asked. All of their ‘meats’ are soy based and delicious! Not your typical meat-like-substance, but, for a short-term vegetarian, hard to tell the difference. Enjoy Vegetarian is the real deal!

You can order online which makes it easy. Then you can take your sweet time looking over their novel of a menu. When we pick up, they’re always so friendly to us (also rare at Mandarin, Chinese, Japanese food places) and give us complimentary sesame balls.

We always, must, definitely, NEED to order their sweet and sour chicken. They have achieved ultimate perfection in fake meat chicken with this dish. It is crispy but full of the yummy sweet and sour sauce we all know and love.

Another must on our list are the lettuce wraps. They give you almost an entire head of lettuce and a giant pile of miscellaneous vegetables to scoop in and top with ‘vegetarian’ oyster sauce. So delicious! We always have to ask for extra oyster sauce too because it’s that good.

Dining in, service is always there when you need it. And hot tea is complimentary with every meal.

A killer lunch special for less than $10.00 brings me in on the weekdays for a quick bite. You can get an entrée, side of rice or chow mein and an eggroll for various prices under an Alexander Hamilton.

Great, now I’m hungry again. I wonder what I’ll have for lunch today…
