Po Lin Yuen Vegetarian Food

Very small restaurant with all vegetarian menu. We had 4 dishes and they were all excellent — especially an eggplant dish and the pipa tofu dish.

Stopped in for a quick dinner. Very nice staff, speak some English and reasonably priced food.

Po Lin Yuen is about 4.5 blocks from where I live and I’d have to say, it’s awesome having a vegetarian restaurant such close by for a vegetarian like myself!
Yes, I’m a fan! :)
I rarely eat in here because I’d ALWAYS bring food back home and eat at my place, but I have eaten in here a few with times with friends, classmates, and relatives. Eating in here is good too. I just usually bring things back to my apt so that I can multitask and do other things while I eat. :)
The food here is pretty flavorful and yummy if you like Asian vegetarian food. It’s pretty small and tiny as it is being run by Asian folks more on the older side… But nevertheless, you can get tons of goodies here ranging from dim sum (both sweet and savory), soy milk, soup, lunch boxes ($ 25 — what an awesome price!), noodles, rice, etc.
I always get their lunch boxes for $ 26 (add an extra dollar if you want noodles or rice noodles instead of rice). The selection changes on a weekly basis and with $ 25, you get your rice, side, and soup or soy milk. I always pick soup since I like their soup more than their soy milk.
Give it a try if you’re in the area. They have take away menus in both English and Chinese.
