The best! The menu changes a bit. They have special menu for Christmas and new year eve every year. Nice and cute. Vegetarian only restaurant. You cannot tell it is a vegetarian only restaurant if you don’t know in advanced.Love everything in the menu.Love lemon tea for winter.Berries juice for summer.

This was honestly a pleasant surprise.It's vegetarian chinese food.We ordered a tofu dish, a potato croquettes stew, radish cake and radish pastry.All of it was superb.The tofu dish had a rich flavor and awesome texture. The portion was generous (easily enough for 2)The potato croquettes were great as well they were crispy outside and soft inside the cabbage base was tasty and sweet.The radish cake and pastry were perfectly cooked and the texture was superb for both. With the cake being my favorite, the texture was mildly crispy and really consistent and smooth inside and not overly salty, just right.The location is good, fairly central.Staff were good and courteous, service was a bit slow but it was during dinner hours.Price was good as well considering the size of the mains.Interior was well done and well lit.Overall highly recommend.

In Charlottetown for a night and we were looking for some good options for a vegetarian and a vegan and much to our surprise we found this little gem. I was not expecting a vegetarian or a vegan friendly place in Maritimes and definitely not in PEI.Were seated quickly and the place wasn't busy, but tables were filled in which was as a good indicator. Disappointed that green tea is not offered complimentary. Ordered a steamed dumplings to start with and Udon Noodles with mixed veggies, Mushrooms with Bok Choy, Spicy Soy Nuggets with mixed veggies.The dumpling were freshly made and good. The filling needed some more seasonings and were bit smaller than the ones we have added. The Chilli Sauce requested did the trick. The Steamed Rice provided with the two dishes was also smaller than anticipated and glad that we ordered the Noodles dish. After traveling for days and not having proper food, this food was a welcome relief.The udon noodles was perfect in every way except I think one of the mushroom or wood ears had a stronger flavour which over powered the entire dish. It was almost bitter. Not overly, but it still took away all the rest of the flavours.Mushrooms with Bok Choy was perfect. The flavours and crispness of Bok Choy was 5/5*. The Soy Nuggets with mixed veggies was amazing as well. The Soy nuggets small and veggie still crisp. Could have used a bit more spice thoughAll in all a good spot. What was most amazing to me was that in the land of sea food that there was this place.Also as we were in PEI, it would have been nice if at least one dish was made with PEI potatoes and some Soy Sea Food dishes that are available

Awesome vegetarian selection, great value for the meal. The crunchy corn cake was SO good. Can’t wait to go back!

I have been to this place multiple times over years when visiting Charlottetown. The dishes are delicious and the staff friendly. We have even ordered takeouts for 10 people this year. They say if we give them more advanced time they can prepare trays. But we ordered an hour ahead so it was all separate dishes. All good and all clear. They have a small Buddha hall upstairs. Check it out next time!

Vegetarian Buddhist Chinese food places aren’t that many in number, and of those that do exist and I’ve tried, this one has been the best! Not just “good for a vegetarian place”. It objectively one of these best Chinese restaurants I’ve even been to (and I’ve lived in a half dozen major metropolises in my lifetime, and discovering new restaurants is a passion of mine).

My unique Taiwanese cousin in PEI . Sweet Tofu is delicious, Thai stir-fry eggplant is morelike Northeneast flavor. The only concern is the quantity of tofu is less than eggplant

Calling all Vegetarians. This is the best place I have eaten on the East coast of Canada! And, the best restaurant Chinese food I have eaten out side of Toronto! So very very good.

The best vegetarian/vegan restaurant in Charlottetown, hands down. The pricing is fair, service is great, and the atmosphere is always so calm and welcoming. Several times in the past, the staff have given out treats for special holidays as well which is always greatly appreciated. Don't miss out on trying this place if you're looking for some delicious veg food in town.
