Enjoy Vegetarian Restaurant - Love this place - Vegan Near Me - San Francisco, California

Decent amount of seating. Mostly tables for four. Not very busy Wednesday at 12:30. Large menu selection though they didn't have fragrant crispy chicken anymore! My usual go to indicator, not very many Asians but likely not applicable here. Eggplant and string beans in black bean sauce with a side of rice. A bit salty for me. Nice enjoyable meal. SF pricing appropriate. I finished off the whole plate. Very extensive menu so plenty of future possibilities. Based on this meal I would try again. read more

When it comes to Chinese tea restaurants, I'm better off dining in plant based eateries such as Enjoy Vegetarian Restaurant. The Chinese staff members were going strong several years since my first visit. Despite not having enough customers, the interior of this vegetarian tea restaurant didn't need additional renovations. I had to finish eating quickly so that I meet up with my dad and go home together peacefully. Therefore, I ordered the Singaporean Style Rice Noodle plate. Other than the five-spice curry, I liked how faux meat strips looked and tasted like barbecue pork. Hopefully Enjoy Vegetarian Restaurant sticks around for quite a while. Our big city have lost few of the best vegan restaurants. Might be back to try many other plant based plates. read more

Enjoy Vegetarian Restaurant - #74. Singapore Style Chow Rice Vermicelli (Curry Flavor) - Vegan Near Me - San Francisco, California

We came in with two young children and asked for two high chairs. Instead of helping us, the waiter simply pointed across the restaurant and said, "There," expecting us to carry the high chairs ourselves while handling two kids. That alone was poor customer service. After we brought the high chairs over, we realized one was too small for one of our children. We politely asked if we could switch it, and the waiter immediately responded, "No. That's all we have," in a rude and dismissive tone. There was no effort to check, offer another solution, or show any empathy. We understand if there aren't enough high chairs available--that's not the issue. The problem was the attitude. Families with young children already have enough to juggle, and a little courtesy goes a long way. Instead, we were treated like we were an inconvenience. Based on this experience alone, we would not return. read more

This was the worst vegan Chinese food experience I've had in Chinatown. I've visited many small, quaint spots in the area over the years, but I would never return to this one. The service was extremely disappointing. Our server was noticeably rude to us, yet smiled and was warm toward other guests who came in after us and were not people of color. It made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. In hindsight, the fact that the restaurant was empty should have been a sign. Unfortunately, the food was just as disappointing. The "crispy fried" spicy tofu was soggy rather than crispy. The green beans with soy beef were also soggy and covered in a dark, overly sweet sauce that was simply inedible. Overall, the restaurant felt cold and uninviting. I would not return and would not recommend it. read more

Enjoy Vegetarian Restaurant - Sweet yucky sauce on soggy green beans and soy beef. - Vegan Near Me - San Francisco, California

The food was really good and I think this is the only all vegetarian restaurant in Chinatown, which is great for vegetarians like us. We got vegetarian dumplings and crispy fried tofu. The dumplings was really good. We got regular noodles, but we got the spinach and pin nut fried rice, which was a stand out dish. I highly recommend ordering this if you are ever here. The restaurant is neat and even the restroom is very clean. The service was quick however, both the service ladies were very nervous and annoyed about us bringing our kids. read more

As a vegetarian, Chinese food can be an uncertainty as to whether it is truly vegetarian (gotta look out for those sauces!), so I was super-excited to find this restaurant. The food was wonderful - it boggles my mind how someone can turn wheat into a meat-like product. We got the chicken nuggets, the Beef Broccoli, and sesame balls. The food came out fast and was delicious. While the service was attentive, our server was gruff and unfriendly. There is not much in the way of ambiance here; the inside is very bright, and plain. The food is definitely the attraction here. read more

I last reviewed Enjoy in 2016. Recently my beloved and I went here for dinner. Friendly service. Simple ambiance. We ordered family style getting the Veggie Deluxe Chow Mein Noodles which came with ample portion with plenty of veggies. We had steamed dumplings for our starter which were very tasty with a simple dipping sauce. We also got an order of crispy tofu with salt and chili peppers that was delicious. All in all an enjoyable meal. We will be back! read more

had this as take out, so no comments on the ambiance. I enjoyed the options and remember the pea shoots and eggplant dish mostly.

We had the spicy Mongolian beef and the curry tofu soup. The curry tofu soup was pretty good, but the texture and taste of the fake beef was off-putting and unenjoyable. Service was relatively quick, if a bit curt. Vibes are authentic Chinese restaurant. read more

The extensive menu always impresses. Especially loved the imitation pork dish we ordered and the hot and sour soup. Service is fast too at this no frills authentic eatery. Great place to enjoy some authentically cooked Asian food- but vegan! read more

I would come back for the Singaporean fried noodles. The curry flavor and the "ham" was such a good combo, portion was good too and was not too oily. Veggie duck was good too I liked that it had shiitake mushroom bits in it as well. Servers speak cantonese/mandarin and got our food out all at once which was nice. Lots of seatings and a nice place to eat with groups and talk. They do close at 8pm which is quite early. read more

I really enjoy Enjoy Vegetarian Restaurant. Their Singapore vermicelli noodles, spinach fried rice, and twice-cooked pork are my go-to dishes -- they're incredibly consistent, and every time I order them, they never disappoint. My husband eats non-vegetarian food and even he says the flavors taste authentic. I usually order takeout, so I can't comment much on the dine-in service, but the staff is always quick, efficient, and reliable with orders. read more

Stumbled across this place as we were taking a tour of chinatown. I was so happy to find an actual vegetarian restaurant that serves chinese food. They have a lot of unusual dishes that you don't tend to find in other restaurants. The service was really good too. read more

Spacious & Clean is the first impression I get when I walked in. I also confirmed this while using their clean restrooms. The menu is vast so it took us a while to choose. I was surprised that the popular items didn't strike a chord with me, but we did enjoy all but 2 items(Basil Soy Chicken & Spinach Pine Nut Fried Rice). Orders: #15 Veggie Duck $9.99- was dry, but flavorful. So this is the 1 dish I would omit next time. #38 Stir Fried Beans Soy Beef $16.99 the string beans were well stir-fried & flavorful. The texture of the vegan beef was ok, but not as enticing as the chicken. #48 Basil Chicken $17.99 a fried vegan chicken so crispy I wouldn't have even known it was meatless & the fragrant basil elevated the dish. An item I would re-order when I return. #87 Spinach Pine Nuts Fried Rice $18.99 despite being the most expensive dish without any vegan meat, I absolutely loved it. Because pine nuts can be expensive that is why this dish was $18.99 Hot Tea $1 per person A great find in the City for Vegan Food. read more

For a table of 3 at 7pm on Monday, there was plenty of space and no wait. The inside is simple and clean, perhaps a little dated. Service was efficient, straight to the point, and brought out food and water quickly. The menu is quite extensive for being a solely vegetarian restaurant. It was fun to try vegetarian takes on dishes like "chicken nuggets" and "sliced fatty pork". I really liked the eggplant, tofu, and basil in satay sauce. read more

Amazingly delicious food! Such friendly, kind owners. I will be going back to this restaurant often. Thank you.

Best vegetarian food around! Highly recommend the string beans and "chicken". Samosas are good too.

Came here with my 3 year old and my mom. Daughter and I are vegetarian, mom is not. We all enjoyed it. Got the chicken chow mein, ma po tofu, soy sauce chicken, rice, and sauteed pea sprouts. My child's (and mine) are pea sprouts and she basically ate the whole dish. Took a few bites of the soy sauce chicken and decided she was full My mom is from Hong Kong and greatly enjoyed it I've moved to a place that has minimal Chinese food so this was a treat. The soy sauce chicken had good texture and a delicious glaze. The chow mein was peppery and flavorful, the ma po was surprisingly sweet but also spicy, and the pea sprouts were fresh and delicious. read more

This restaurant has really Fast service and good food and good prices and a large selection of items

I ordered takeout from Enjoy, and I loved it: It was just what I needed after a long drive. I would highly recommend the combination platter, which comes with a variety of different proteins mimicking Hong Kong barbecue meats. Get the large-- It's a good deal! Some of the other stuff on the menu seemed a bit overpriced, but this was excellent. Also really enjoyed the coconut dish, which had a lot of taro, pumpkin, and soy protein packed in. Again, very delicious (and packed really well, to avoid spilling during the travel to my hotel). read more

Pros: Novel dishes: reishi mushroom "medicinal soup", flavorful chow mein, lotus root and veggies, excellent mushrooms Decent portions All vegetarian! Possibly vegan Cons Service a bit slow $20 for chow mein seemed a bit much for the quantity, but probably par for the course in SF Order was initially wrong but staff accepted responsibility and replaced with correct dish soon enough Reishi soup was a bit meh but probably an acquired taste, and well it was "medicinal"! Five stars: for the delicious all-new-to-me flavors plus we need all the veggie options we can get! read more

1. The menu has too many things to choose from so you will need time and you will be really pleased with all of it enough to gone back to try something you wanted to order, but didn't. 2. It's cosy inside and bustling with good smells and energy. 3. It's so nice to be able to order anything on the menu because there's NO meat. What Chinese restaurant does that? This one!! 4. Unlimited tea read more

You won't miss eating meat here. Their soy-based meatballs and chicken strips are very tasty. There were quite a few dishes I want to try, and they all look so delicious and look like real meat dishes. String beans with faux chicken strips, taro and pumpkin faux lamb balls, broccoli with faux spare ribs, combination fried rice, and assorted appetizer were my sampler dishes. I was not disappointed. They seem to have quite a few take out and uber eat or equivalent drivers came pick up take-out. Online or phone order is convenient for busy professionals. The restaurant has Traditional Chinese decor, and the in-room dining service was not as attentive as other type of restaurants. You will need to flag them down and tell what you need. Overall a delicious meal, but don't expect any attentive server for an experience. read more

Always very delicious and clean. I esp love the wonton soup and shark fin soup. All the soups lol very friendly service and close to the parking garage. Prices are fair to high. They will add gratuity to 6 or more, and that's fair. It's only 18% though, and I always tip 20-35% depending on the service- unless it's automatically added, and then I just sign and leave what they think they deserve. So, they did lose out of the extra tip, which would've been material due to our bill being high. As a former industry worker, I'd learn to read the tables better before automatically adding it. I used to do better by not adding it myself. Ppl almost always tend to be more generous. Any seasoned server or bartender can tell when you have to add it to cover yourself, but I'd suggest not doing it across the board. When it's auto added, it's a turn off bc then I know you didn't trust me to tip correctly, which I do take as an indirect insult. Nevertheless, the foods always very good and I'll still take it to go in the future. Still 5 stars, just free advice to the owners or upper management re the tipping. read more

I went to this spot awhile back and was craving the eggplant and seabass. The food was delivered really quickly, and thank goodness because I had a meeting to get back to. The ambiance was your typical Chinese restaurant. Nothing too special, but not really a dive either. I liked it! And the tea was quite flavorful! Will be back! read more

Enjoy has a extensive menu for being all vegetarian/vegan - they've managed to replicate nearly all popular Chinese dishes as vegan/vegetarian. There were over 100 dishes on the menu, so Enjoy does not shy away from getting creative. The food was enjoyable and service was great. This is also on the cleaner end of restaurants in Chinatown, however prices are slightly higher than most Chinese restaurants in the area. read more

Enjoy Vegetarian Restaurant is decent. I always appreciate chinese places that offer a lot of vegetarian and vegan options so this place was a must try when stopping by Chinatown. Unfortunately, like most shops in Chinatown it's business minded so the friendliness is lacking. The art of "small talk" is zero to none. The unexpected $1 per person for hot tea was not welcome. I didn't realize this was a sot down dim sum venue. hmmmm. We ordered two different types of fried rice: the curry fried rice (3/5) and the spinach and pine nut fried rice (5/5). Both were flavorful and tasty, the curry fried rice was well seasoned and had chunks of soy meat that tasted like a cross between duck and spam. The spinach and pine nut fried rice surprised me with how good it was!! I loved the crunch the pine nuts provided and it was surprisingly flavorful if a bit too salty. Chili oil wontons (4/5) were a hit and had a mushroom filling. The fried tofu (3/5) were nothing to write home about, just pretty decent fried tofu. And finally: we got the spicy tan tan noodles (2/5) -- it's okay. The spaghetti noodles were overcooked and was only saved by the pairing of chili oil and peanut sauce. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants. I am allergic to garlic, and they don't use garlic nor onion, which means I can choose anything I want. And every single thing here is wonderful! Super nice people, intimate and casual dining, delicious food no matter what you get. Their imitation meats are delicious. read more

I have been coming to this place on every visit to San Francisco. The meals are excellent.

Stealing from someone else's review (which I agree with 100%): as a vegetarian, Chinese food at restaurants isn't always veg friendly. This place is my go-to for great Chinese food. All my meat-eater friends also love it! read more
