Overall good vegan options

Service is good have been there a handful of times and twice have ordered the bread but got the wrong thing for higher price, learned to check my receipt right after now. Good recommendations by staff. Seating is a challenge especially if you have to go up and order and someone walks in and takes the last spot before they order. Learned that too. Tried the vegan cold noodles after my first time trying the mushroom soup. Out of the three vegan items, the mushroom soup is my favorite one! Also an additional charge is added without informing the customer for their employee health costs. Would be nice to make it optional and posting about it on the menu.

Pros: Mushroom soup, Clean restaurant

Cons: Order at the counter before seating , Additional charges not explained , Wrong orders sometimes

Delicious Chinese Vegan Options 🌱

I enjoyed my dining experience at Lao Peng You. Fresh & flavorful vegan dishes. I enjoyed the spices. Tried the noodle dishes & breads. Want to try the mushroom 🍄‍🟫 noodle soup next time.

Solid vegan Chinese

Good and well labeled vegan options from every section of the menus except dumplings (egg based wrappers). Everything I’ve had both times has been delicious, but something short of remarkable. Some of the items good be a bit spicer for my palette. The douhua is delicious and awesome to be able to get fresh without making at home! The one disappointment is the drinks. None of the vegan options are worth ordering in my opinion.

Pros: Clearly labeled options, Fresh DouHua

Cons: Mediocre drinks
