Zhu's Garden

The food is always good. Especially like the rice noodles, udon and the curries. Staff are always sweet and attentive. A lovely spot. Also happens to be vegan. A perfect East Arlington spot to bring business clients.

Trust me when I tell you I am a true carnivore. The skewers were phenomenal. I still need proof that I wasn't eating chicken. Taste... texture... you name it! I would absolutely go there again. The entree was great too. It was meant to be like orange chicken made with seitan. The texture was not as perfect as the skewers but the flavors... a little spicy (maybe tangy is a better word) the taste of orange zest was present but by no means overpowering. I'm told the next time I go, I need to try their take on a boneless (meatless) rib. I can't wait to try it. I also learned that there are more than egg rolls and spring rolls when the sampler came out with a summer roll and an autumn roll but like a true American, I'm not sure I could tell which was which (other than the spring roll).

The place is a small one. We went there around 9 PM and it was empty. There are more takeouts than dine-ins here. Also the serving staff is really good. Their menu is easy to read with descriptions of all items (which is really great). They have good replacement options for items on dish and they try to accommodate each request. Would definitely recommend as a must visit place for Vegans. We even tried the fried ice cream which wasn't so great (and so the 4 stars). But apart from that, everything was solid.

One of my favorite restaurants! Food is delicious. I haven't tried everything yet but between my husband and I, we have had quite a few different dishes and we love everything. We have taken non-vegan friends and family and they have all enjoyed the food. Desserts are amazing as well, especially the chocolate cake!

Had the macro bowl - probably the healthiest and most delicious restaurant dinner I've had in a while. Perfectly blanched kale, delicious seaweed salad, tofu, chickpeas, carrots and brown rice with an amazing mint chutney sauce. Huge bowl too. Lemongrass hot and sour soup was also delicious. They have a wide range of vegan dishes to try, and I would like to try them all, but, honestly, I could eat that macro bowl every day. Desserts sound nice too.
Conveniently located just down the street from Capitol Theatre, so easy to drop in for nourishment after seeing a great film.
