We walked in & we're treated well from start to finish with two children 6 & 8. We have a few dishes & sides to share, drinks & dessert.
The water was refilled continuously, staff were very attentive &kind to the kids, plates were cleared nicely.
The food was very good and well portioned. The desserts were a bit more typical British but nice anyway.
I saw several lone diners, one with a suitcase so I guess it's a pleasant place for vegans or people travelling solo. It was close to our accommodation so we were extra pleased.
We had a really nice time & we were to ask which dishes were appropriate for children (non spicy). The waitresses were both lovely & customer service was extremely good.
It was warm & cosy with a pleasant for (freezing windy outside).
An absolute gem! No wonder it was packed. We visited for Restaurant Week so had an awesome deal but regular prices are still very reasonable considering the quality of food. Service was very attentive. Would definitely be visiting again.
This restaurant did a really good job of capturing the best parts of westernised dishes and delivering a tasty vegan experience.
The menu had a broad range of choices that would justify several visits. The Char Siu and Sweet and Sour were very satisfying but everything looked appealing.
The staff were very attentive and it was evident that the restaurant is committed to their vegan vision. A really nice meal overall.
The lighting was a bit dim and orange so photos will come out a bit dull.
As a confirmed carnivore I never thought I would say "vegan Chinese food is delicious". We had an amazing meal from the Orchid. Online ordering was easy with delivery both prompt and friendly. We started with mushroom toast and bao buns both were tasty and came in generous portions. For mains we shared sweet & sour battered tofu, smoked sausage with broccoli stir fry, black bean & green pepper vegan beef and Singapore style fried rice. The presentation was beautiful and the level of taste exquisite. Initially we were wary of ordering vegan pork or beef etc as we wanted to try vegan food in it's own right. We shouldn't have worried. A fantastic meal FIVE STARS
Food and service very good. Flavour of dishes, such as fried rice and noodles, were great. Even non vegans impressed with the “fake chicken” texture and taste
Amazing food! So tasty! Great choices. We loved gong to a fully vegan Chinese restaurant and would return again and again if we lived nearby. The restaurant also seemed busy which was great to see. The staff were lovely too.
We had the duck pancakes, the chicken in black bean sauce and the Mongolian beef (my favourite) all were very good.
AMAZING! Incredible Chinese food, and all vegan. It's so relaxing to look at a menu and know you can order any of it. We shared four mains, and they were all seriously brilliant, the flavours are what you would hope from good Chinese food, and the meat substitutes are first class.
Really enjoyed our meal here.
It was nice and busy too, and the staff are lovely.
Absolutely amazing food! One of the best restaurants I've ever been to. So many good options to choose from and the staff are absolutely lovely. We got the lamb skewers and salt and pepper king prawns to start. The lamb skewers were incredible. For mains we got the lemon chicken and pork in Cantonese sauce, the pork was my favourite with this. The salt and pepper chips were so nice too. I sometimes find in a lot of places they can be too salty but these ones were perfect. Flavours were amazing in every single dish and its crazy to know it was all vegan. Would highly recommend this place to anyone, whether you're a vegan/vegetarian or not!
Nice to see an all vegan Chinese food restaurant that is dine in, most seem to be takeaways. Large space with plenty of seating, they were able to accommodate without a prior booking. Menu isn’t the largest, I felt it could’ve been more extensive and varied. Never had OK sauce before so had that with the crispy ‘beef’, enjoyed it but for me it could’ve been a bigger portion considering the price of the dish. The additional side of noodles were also tasty, nicely flavoured but not greasy and heavy. The cheesecake for dessert wasn’t a cheesecake texture, quite hard and had no flavour other than the drizzle of ice cream topping syrup over the top. I’d try another dessert next time.

Any carnivores out there. If there are places like these, I'm sure you guys will quit meat! Absolutely extra-ordinary Asian food. One of the reasons behind why York is a foodie city.
100% recommend for vegans best chinese I've ever eaten. Even my meat eater housemate loved the food. Quick delivery.
Delicious Asian vegan dishes. Amazing service and reasonably priced.
Incredible vegan food and super friendly and helpful staff. If you're a meat eater, then you're also in luck, as you can hardly tell that it isn't meat. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for amazing food in York!
Outstanding 100 out of 100 and staff special those taking orders and serving were extremely helpful and amazing they made sure we are okay with whatever we had ordered I wish they had a branch in Leeds . I would highly highly recommend to everyone who loves asian food . Must visit place
Summary - excellent vegan food, good service and a decent location. No nuts either! Food is really good even for non vegans.
My partner is a vegan even though I eat meat so we frequent quite a few vegan restaurants and this is one of the best. The menu is good (Thai / Chinese based) and the food is really good and tasty.
It’s reasonably priced and easy to find in the centre of York. Very recommended.
The food has opened my eyes to how delicious vegan food can be. Some members of the family are vegetarian. Often, we don’t try each other’s dished and always try to find a place that have a few vegetarian dishes but their choices are limited. But at this restaurant, the menu was created for them. The service is also impeccable.. a gem in York!! Please chef, share your secrets with the world, we would be vegan in no time
Gorgeous food and lovely stuff.Very professional service, love the hot plates and the smile on their face. I will try extra hot beef next time .
Couldn’t find more lovely restaurant staff, and with it, the best vegan Chinese food in York! Go here with my gf each time I make the visit down from Glasgow :)
Absolutely delicious food! So many vegan options, helpful and friendly staff and great atmosphere.
The vegan cheesecake was the best I've ever had!
