Sweet Veggie

Great and affordable place. All vegetarian options. All you can eat for around $14 a person. I picked the Taiwanese spicy hot pot. It has both "MA" and "LA" in spiciness which was awesome. It comes with stinky tofu for those who like those. The topping options is moderate variation but not a lot. I was disappointed that some reviews mentioned vegetarian popcorn chicken but it wasn't available. For the food would definitely recommend, especially if you are a vegetarian.

The service is non-intrusive and they are careful to make sure they don't spill anything. When you have questions they answer fully and may come back when they thought of a better answer, or something to add on to what they say previously.

You go in and pay upfront and is given a hotpot sheet to fill out and hand in at the buffet selection area. The place is self cleaning but that makes tip not needed.

It's all you can eat hot pot! Veggie style.

It's interesting because they serve their hot pots in the individual pots (similar to boiling point) but you can refill as much as you'd like. They have options for cooked foods and some vegetables for the hot pot.

Pros: tasty, cooked food includes vegan chicken (yum!) and curry. Free shaved ice and milk tea/wintermelon tea. Cheap! $12 for lunch on a weekend.

Cons: very limited selection of vegetables for hot pot (only 1 type of mushroom, 2-3 types of leafy greens, etc). Tea = sugar water.

Ps - you have to clean up after yourself here. don't forget to put away your bows/plates.

It's a great little restaurant for vegan food. I wish it was open when I was attending Mt SAC. It's all you can eat hot pot and several other dishes. I'd say it's affordable and the staff is very nice.

If you are craving for vegetarian or vegan food, have Sweet Veggie a try. They recently offered All-You-Can-Eat Hotpot that incldues variety of delicious dishes. Complementary soup-based add-on, rice, noodles, desserts, milk tea, coffee and hot tea get you the best dinner of the buck. Some poeple said the price had gone up from their previous buffet but hey it's still an All-You-Can-Eat restaurant and they specifically waived service tips. That's the biggest steal.

I absolutely love this place. The food is delicious, the tea is amazing, and the staff is super friendly. The only reason why I am giving 4 stars as opposed to 5 is that their food is not very well labelled. I am not vegan or vegetarian and I am not super familiar with the dishes, so a little labeling with what the food is would help me understand what I'm putting on my plate.
