"On the oft-overlooked food corridor of San Bruno Avenue in the Portola neighborhood lies one of San Francisco’s only reliably vegan dim sum options. That’s thanks to restaurant consultant Menny Ly who just started rolling out an all-plant-based menu on March 19 at her friend’s family’s restaurant Imperial Garden Seafood Restaurant. The tea house and restaurant has been in operation for 28 years, and the original owners have passed it to their daughter Elaine Yen, one of Ly’s best friends. They started the vegan dim sum with a kickoff event, which was a hit. Now, the vegan options are available on the regular menu, though the already-popular baked mochi buns are only available on weekends." - Paolo Bicchieri
