Spring Garden – Yorktown, VA

Chinese 2 Comments »

This was my first time here. I went for Chinese New Year and Jow Ga Kung Fu did the Dragon Dance, Lion Dance, and demonstration. It was very fun. The food was great. I ordered Curry Tofu. The tofu was fried just right and the curry sauce was excellent. Not too spicy and a hint of sweetness. For dessert I would definitely recommend you try the Chinese Donuts. They were fresh out the oven and melted in my mouth. They weren’t loaded in sugar, like other places. They used a good amount of powdered sugar, just enough to add extra sweetness. The staff was very friendly and easy to talk to granted it was a full house due to the Chinese New Year celebration. If I had one recommendation to them, it would be to update the decor. Other than that, everything was excellent. I would definitely go there again. They have more vegetarian food to try!

krungthaiKrungthai Street Grill is a nice little restaurant located off of N. King Street in Hampton. The atmosphere was nice. The staff was friendly. Food was good but very spicy. I ordered the Drunken Noodle with Tofu. The food prices were fair. I would come here again and recommend anyone to try it.

I had great expectations for Mama Linas since I read a review of someone on the southside traveling to the peninsula just to eat there.  I was craving Italian so I thought – perfect time to try them out.  BIG MISTAKE.

We came in and ordered without much trouble.  The problems started AFTER ordering.  Click here to read more »

Forbidden City in Virginia Beach is by no way forbidden for Vegetarians.  They have a nice selection of vegetarian dim sum and vegetarian entrees such as General’s Tofu, Ma Po Tofu, and Sesame Tofu. 

We came during lunchtime on a Saturday and it wasn’t very busy at all.  The atmosphere is nice and the booths are very private with curtains draped at the ends.  Click here to read more »

We went to Kotobuki Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar on a Sunday night and they were not busy at all.  We walked in and were greeted and sat down right away.   The atmosphere is Asian/Modern.  After ordering our drinks, we were ready to order right away.  They have an extensive vegetarian menu for a Japanese restaurant.  To name a few:  Vegetarian Shrimp Tempura, Vegetarian Salmon Roll, Vegetarian Lobster Roll, Vegetarian Ham, and Vegetarian Chicken Teriyaki.  Click here to read more »

Fun place for drinks and hanging out, but not for dinner. The atmosphere was packed, loud and full of energy. We did not have the full attention of a server and had to go to the bar to order items. They did have vegetarian items as well as non-vegetarian items that were easily converted if you wanted to get something to eat.

Pop’s is sooo good! The atmosphere is diner style. It’s very clean. The service is excellent and the breakfast is the best in the area that I’ve been to. The only down side is that it is small and you may have to wait to be seated, but it’s worth the wait.

Ah. Thai food. Pattaya, located on George Washington Memorial Hwy in Yorktown, is one of many local restaurants offering Thai Cuisine.

The first thing you notice when you walk in, is their modern and elegant atmosphere.  We came during lunchtime, around 11:30, and were sat down right away.  As soon as we sat down, the glasses in front of us were filled with water.  Looking at their menu, they had a “vegetarian” section with plenty of options.  They had Veggie Pad Thai, Tofu or Eggplant delight, Veggie Fried Rice, and more.  Click here to read more »

I love Silver Diner.  Or, perhaps I should say, I loved Silver Diner.  They had the best veggie burger bites ever – granted they are made with what I think are the Morning Star sausage patties and barbecue sauce, they are still better than my homemade ones… Click here to read more »

This was my first time going to the Baker’s Crust.  After we walked in, we were greeted and sat down promptly.  There wasn’t a wait at all and on a Saturday night, that’s amazing.  We had the option to eat outside but decided to eat inside because it was kind of muggy out and getting dark.

Once we sat down and ordered our drinks (I had some great tasting peach tea), they brought out some bread and butter.  It wasn’t out of this world but was still pretty good.  I’m a bread-lover though so I have to say I’m a bit picky. :) Click here to read more »
