"Zhu focuses on delivering big flavors minus the animal products. Plates globetrot across Asia, from vegan takes on favorite Chinese/Chinese-American comfort food appetizers (take the soy fingers served with sweet cilantro sauce), to spicy pad Thai, and slow-cooked Malaysian curry stew. Pick up a Thai iced coffee for a sipable dessert on the go, too." - Nathan Tavares, Celina Colby, Megan Hennessey, Eater Staff

Calming, relaxed, casual dining experience. Get to eat classic Chinese-American fare with a vegan take on all the dishes. Not a vegan myself but I can assure that you can’t tell it isn’t meat. Only downside is the place needs to serve some white rice. Yall Asian, don’t tell me all you have is wet, soppy brown rice.

I took my bf here for his birthday dinner as we're both vegetarians and LOVE Asian cuisine and wanted to try something new. The food was so clean and delicious; I felt so light and satisfied afterward. There were so many varieties of food it was hard to choose! The service was great, and the people were so kind and accommodating. I highly recommend 9/10

I really enjoyed this place. This was my first time here and I got the spring rolls and sizzling soy protein which comes with a miso soup and brown rice. All was delicious and the sizzling plate was an exciting treat. I wasn’t sure what the soy protein was going to be like since I’ve never had it but it was so good! The texture was kind of like chicken with a very satisfying bite. I love that everything was vegan — it’s so rare that I can go to a restaurant and have such a large selection of things to try. I can’t wait to go back.

Where do I start, great vegan food or a really really rude server. The owner is pretty nice and patient, but the young woman who works with her is too rude. She left our table in a middle of the conversation. I had ordered a soup and an entree without being aware that the entree for lunch comes with a soup. I asked if I can cancel the soup that I ordered, but she was too rude and left the table. Apart from that, the food is really good. A budding vegan restaurant, and I would not like for it have such bad reputation. It is too rare to find a good vegan Chinese restaurant like this. Get eggplant kung pao and mushroom seitan. Their seitan tastes really good.

Very nice restaurants with delicious vegan food! The Lo mein and General Tsos were very good.

This restaurant totally hit the spot for lunch today. The vibe was warm and inviting, and the lemongrass soup was a total game-changer. The broth was so flavorful and refreshing, with hints of ginger and spice that really kicked things up a notch.

I haven’t left a review in years but after eating at Zhu Vegan I had to. I saw the fried ice cream and had to come but this place but everything we ordered far exceeded our expectations. The orange seitan, mango soy protein, scallion pancakes, and soy nuggets were all fantastic. Everything was fresh and perfectly fried. Honestly can’t wait to come back to try more things, and it’s not pricey either. My fiancé and I both got appetizers, entrees, drinks, and deserts. Their ice cream is probably the best vegan ice cream we’ve ever had. For context my fiancé has been vegan 9 years and I’ve been off and on the past few years.

I have been a vegetarian for 3 years me and my family feel so lucky to meet this vegan restaurant. Best sweet potato fries ever-crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Autumn rolls served with the spicy sauce are tasty. LOVE the fried noodles / Udon - especially the smoky, savory flavors and aromas of stir-fry. Sesame tofu is amazing with an amazing sauce Can munch on forever! It tastes a little bit like the orange chicken but is more delicious. Ingredients are fresh. Quick service. Can't wait to order again and check out other dishes! Highly recommend to non- vegetarian/vegan friends as well!
