It’s really rare that I rate anything low, let alone as low as I can, but this place earned it. The food was incredibly bland, including the noodles one of my friend got that were supposed to be spicy- it also took 25mins longer to get her plate of food than the rest of our food, despite there only being two other tables full- one of which had been there before us and had all their food already. I went ahead and tried the spinach and beancurd soup, and the beancurd tofu was just… plain. Not a single bit of seasoning. I’ve included a photo for you. It truly tasted like they just cut it up and dropped it in last minute. The soup was also lukewarm. My other friend got the sizzling rice soup and it also came out lukewarm. The vegetables were totally unseasoned and limp, and there were very few of them. The soup itself had no flavor, and it had the same unseasoned beancurd tofu. “The rice was fine but it’s hard to mess that up.” My other friend who got the noodles said the water was fine. We also got a plate of potstickers that barely had anything in them, and came out lukewarm. I ended up drinking the plastic cup of soy sauce that came with our potstickers like a shot as a joke, and was disappointed to discover it did have more seasonings than the actual food. All in all, horrific experience and I truly think my friends and I bonded over the wasted $71 (I’ve included the receipt in my photos too) more than we ever would’ve good food. My friend tipped $5 because she’s a saint and felt bad for the restaurant. We laughed the entire way to Trader Joe’s where we spent $15 on enough food for all of us, and we’re enjoying our evening elsewhere. Thank you for your… place to sit and bond. Read less

I ordered takeout today-- the Mandarin Crispy Tofu and rice-- and it was fantastic! The sauce was incredibly flavorful and nuanced, and the tofu was battered and crispy in a way I haven't had before, despite being a vegetarian for over 13 years. This food put a smile on my face because I finally got to experience the authentic Chinese take out experience AND feel assured that my food was really vegetarian. Bonus: the woman working put a cup of Kung Pao Soup in with my take out order as well. I look forward to going back and trying more dishes! Read less

Teapot Vegetarian is a family run Chinese vegan friendly restaurant. All of their food is plant-based and incorporates mock meats and sauces many people will be familiar with if they grew up in the States. Everything is designed to be shared family style and portions are pretty good here too. The Laksa was our standout dish. Everyone comes here for it and I could see why - the creamy coconut milk curry broth with noodles and veggies/tofu was spectacular and a must. We also enjoyed the Corn Chowder as that really reminded me of home. Claypot Veggies were way too salty sadly and without the included rice, it felt like something was off. I should probably stop ordering claypot dishes at veggie restaurants as they tend to be very saucy without much else. Service here was very friendly and they took great care of us. It's a relaxed environment and one I'd return to again. Read less

Perfect vegan taste! Some positions in the menu cooked by very old traditional recent. My favorite meal is Laksa. The dish is big, so you might need a box to take it home. Parking lot is huge.

Great place, I really enjoyed the food and tea!
