Yummy Dim Sum

I ordered Mushroom Dim Sum and mixed Vegetable dim sum. They were so delicious. Very flavorful with rich flavors. Items are clearly marked at vegan and start is very quick and friendly.

*** Side note*** restrooms and restaurant access stairs and not accessible so if you need step free you will have to eat outside

clearly labeled menu, decent dishes

We had the Vegetable Dumplings and Spring Rolls as starters, they very fresh, hot and tasted good. I chose the Fried Noodles with Mock Chicken in Black Bean Sauce, which was delicious! I loved the sauce, the „meat“, although I‘m not a huge fan of the type of noodles they use, they kinda taste burnt/too smoky? But overall great food, the seating is not great, it‘s kinda uncomfortable and not that much space, also service was rushed but they are really busy so that‘s fair.

Pros: many options, clear labeling, good food

Cons: seating, rushed service

Sehr leckere vegane Gerichte

Vegane Gerichte sind klar auf der Karte gekennzeichnet. Das Essen war sehr lecker, der Preis (im Vergleich zu London allgemein) sehr angenehm und das Personal sehr zuvorkommend. Angenehmes Ambiente mit sauberen Toiletten. Der Tee ist sehr lecker.

Pros: Preis, Geschmack , Tee

Leckere Fleischalternativen aber ohne Beilage

Die vegane Ente und das Chicken sind lecker, jedoch ohne Beilage, welche man dazu bestellen kann/muss. Die Portionsgrösse könnte bei diesem Preis etwas größer sein.

Good choices, average food

Menu has been updated with vegan options clearly labelled within the veggie sections. Good choice of starters and mains. Food wasn’t bad just average and this being Chinatown isn’t cheap!

Pros: Central location, Lots of vegan choices

Cons: Chinatown prices!

Some great vegan options and serving sizes are great, really happy to have taken a chance here. Also prices are quite reasonable for central London.

Good Vegan Chinese

I went to Plum Valley in person and asked if I could order food to go. They confirmed they do offer this, and it's not just sit-down or pre-order and pick up.

I ordered the sweet & sour mock chicken and fluffy jasmine rice. This came to a total of £16.00 which is slightly overpriced in my opinion.

My friend ordered 3 types of dim sum for £20 which sounded unreasonable but I never saw how much food she actually got.

The food was really delicious and there are a wide range of options. The staff understand vegan dietary requirements and are prepared to facilitate it. Items on the menu are clearly marked as vegan.

I waited about 12 minutes for this food, which is slightly long but it was a Friday night and the sit-down part of the restaurant was completely packed.

I would definitely go back here and try the salt and pepper mock chicken next time !

Pros: Delicious Chinese food, Non-greasy food, Good portion sizes

Cons: Slightly expensive, Fairly long wait times

Great spot!

Delicious vegan chicken with noodles!! Although it was hard to tell which options were vegan vs vegetarian. Accidentally ate a bite of pork dumpling because the waiter brought the wrong appetizer:(

Alright Chinese food with mock substitute

Was in Chinatown and went here for dinner and it was alright.

The place is right at the center of Chinatown in London with quite a lot of seating on two different floors. Wasn't a problem for us (2 people) to get a table without reservation on a Monday evening. The restaurant offers different vegetables dishes with tofu or vegan substitutes like mock chicken/duck. I had the 503 dish with additional rice and it was good. The mock chicken was good but not my favourite but the bean sauce was really delicious.

What brings it down for me was that the allergies wasn't clearly marked and I wasn't sure what was vegan or vegetarian and got the impression that the staff didn't know completely, so better to double check before ordering!

Pretty good

The menu had vegetarian options labeled and you had to cross reference with an allergen menu to figure out what was vegan which wasn't ideal. We felt a little bit rushed as we were asked over and over if we were ready to order when we had had barely any time with the menu. We opted for the vegetarian starter platter and the mock duck with black bean sauce and jasmine rice which was a perfect amount of food.

Pros: Mock meats, Tofu

Cons: Vegan options not clearly labelled

Best meal ever

This place is one of my favorite restaurants ever. It was so great, it will be one of these places I will exactly remember in 10 years and think about how wonderful the food was.
There are plenty vegetarian options on the menu, most of them vegan, staff can tell you more about it. From the outside it looks very small, but it's big inside. I had dumplings and mock chicken in a bean sauce and this was literally the best mock chicken I ever had. Everything was delicious! Outside was already crowded, but we got a seat inside directly without a reservation.

Awesome mock chicken

Badly labeled and slightly chaotic menu. Service was ok.

The rice needs to be ordered additionally and is charged separately.
It's not super cheap but I don't think it was overpriced.

The mock chicken sweet sour was amazing. Pretty much indistinguishable from real chicken imho. Would definitely come here again.

Pros: Mock chicken

Cons: Busy street

Nice food, mediocre service

The food was quite nice and had authentic flavors. However, we found hair in two separate dishes, repeatedly ordered rice that never arrived & the mapo tofu was served 10 minutes before the other dishes and was lukewarm. Maybe the kitchen was very busy.

Dishes are only labeled as vegetarian although we were told most are vegan anyway.

Based on my experience and the price I honestly don’t recommend eating there even though the food was nice.

Great vegan options (badly labelled)

I went to plum valley after it being recommended by a friend. The majority of options on the menu that are listed as veggie are actually vegan.

The staff were friendly and helpful in finding vegan options. I had the mock chicken with black bean sauce, braised pan fried tofu with mushrooms and peppers, vegetable dumplings, and the vegetarian platter.

My favourites were definitely the mock chicken and the veggie platter (especially the beef). Obsessed with both of these and would definitely order both again.

The tofu was silken not pan fried but still good. Dumplings were nice but not bursting with flavour.

Dishes are slightly expensive but expected for central London. I’d definitely go back.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Good mix of vegetables and fake meats , Great flavours

Cons: Vegan options aren’t clearly labelled , Slightly expensive

Good for China Town

I had visitors staying in London with me and this was the only restaurant I could see online that had vegan options. Does mock meat, the sweet and sour mock chicken was crispy and the best dish. Food was ok, service ok. Was nice for China Town but won’t go again.

Pros: Mock meat options

Cons: Wish there was more tofu options , Service a bit rushed, forgot a dish , Food is not greatest and kind of expensive

Evening dim sum!

Rare to find a place that serves dim sum in the evenings too, with a couple of vegan options including mushroom dumplings which were very flavoursome. Reasonable price for the noodles with the portion, although it was pretty oily. Would be nice to try to mock meat / tofu dishes next time. Staff knowledgeable about the vegan options so this is good as it’s hard to come by vegan friendly restaurants in Chinatown.

Fantastico ristorante con molta scelta vegana

Abbiamo assaggiato il mock-chicken (fatto di tofu) e ci ha lasciati a bocca aperta, ordinando il bis! Davvero ottimo e molto bene anche il personale che ci ha saputo indicare i piatti vegani nel menu.

Pros: Molte opzioni vegane
