Nova China - Porto

I've gone to this place a couple of times with some friends and there's a good amount of vegetarian/vegan options. The food is super tasty and the people are incredibly nice.

I had come to this place some times because it 's pretty cheap (if you go for the menu, only veganized options are the Menu H and Menu I) and in the city center. The staff speaks perfect portuguese (half portuguese born) and has knowledge on what vegans eat, so going there, ask for a vegan version (might not be possible because of the schedule of the cooking staff). I had the cheapest menu (submitted in the photos) for €4.40 and ate a vegetable roll, white rice and chinese veggies with tofu and sauce plus a coffee. It is possible to have some more veganized items, like one or other soup (but you have to ask the staff what can be veganized because some won 't work without the egg or fish stock and some can be made using vegetable broth). Maybe some desserts also, I don 't know since I 'm not a dessert type of person. Well it is pretty good to have a safe option in this part of town, since some vegetarian/vegan places ask at least double of the price, and many people like me and my friends cannot afford, we are not tourists in our city.

Tasy, cheap (about 6 euro's for a portion), done quick nice staff. I did takeaway, had the noodles with veggies and the leeks with tofu. Enough food for 2 meals. Updated from previous review on 2023-08-24

Das Essen war lecker, wenn auch sehr ölig. Der Preis haut‘s raus.

It's really incredibly cheap, but the place itself looks rundown, the food was way too oily, but okay for the price. The old woman who works there has Taiwanese roots and is very sweet, but no one of the staff speaks any English.
