Something Going For It — good veggie Chinese standards

Vegan Chinese food at The Bao in East Village, New York

Remarks

This place has all the standard vegan options you can get at a Chinese place. All in all pretty decent but a bit too expensive. The scallion pancakes, mapo tofu, cucumbers and veggie dumplings in broth were pretty tasty. String beans and lotus root dish was a bit of a let down.

This place was meant to be good for soup dumplings but they took the veggie soup dumplings off the menu boooo.

I think a better choice would be one of the Spicy Moon outposts. There's one nearby in East Village.
