Veggie Lee - Hayward

I always enjoy eating here! This time we had lunch specials. They were both delicious!

Amazing amazing spot. I'm a vegan- but my non vegan friends also the food here. Must eat at!

If you are craving popcorn chicken, this is the place to go their salt n pepper (vegan) chicken really hits the fried chicken craving and is indistinguishable from meat. Their Kung Pao (vegan) chicken is also amazing, with a great spicy sauce and lots of peanuts and veggies. It's slightly more expensive than other vegan joints, but the food is worth it. They also have lots of seating and parking space, so it's a great place to bring the family.

Found this place on happy cow while in the area. We ordered salt pepper fresh mushroom (it says fresh mushrooms but they’re fresh mushrooms that have been coated and fried), mixed vegetable fried rice and vegan sesame chicken. The salt pepper fried mushrooms are suuuper good. I think they’re beech mushrooms. The coating is not too thick, not too thin with a lovely amount of crunch. They’re seasoned nicely and the mushrooms were still soft on the inside. It reminded me of popcorn chicken. They’re very tasty and satisfying. I could probably eat an entire mixing bowl full during a movie (I’d probably regret it later lol) but they’re a perfect appy/snack. The vegan sesame chicken was yummy. The sauce or seasoning had kind of like a 5 spice flavour to it. Coating was nice not too thick, not too thin. They weren’t soggy and the broccoli it came with was cooked nicely...still vibrant and not over cooked. The mixed vegetable fried rice was okay. I liked that there was baby corn in it but the fried rice itself was too dark (possibly from soy sauce), lacking flavor, and missing that smokey charred wok flavor that every good fried rice has. The restaurant was clean. I liked that they offered Chinese tea in the traditional cups and had the typical chilli sauce, chilli oil, salt white pepper on all the tables like most Chinese restaurants do. The service was great too and the girl serving us was really nice, friendly and sweet. I appreciated that she came to quality check and asked us if everything was okay. Overall we really enjoyed it! I’d give it a 4-4.5 and we would definitely come back to try other items Updated from previous review on 2021-05-10

Salt and pepper pumpkin is good. Fried rice dish is plain, nothing special about it.
