Never going back

by pasion

I've lived in Carrboro for a while now, and decided to try this place out. Arrived at 12:30 for lunch to an empty restaurant (red flag alert). Very musty smell, it felt like they hadn't cleaned in a while. Also, didn't see a sanitation rating (isn't it supposed to be posted?). They got our order wrong, and the food was utterly disgusting. I'm very surprised they are still in business. Very sketchy - never going back.

• Pros: Quiet
• Cons: Food, atmosphere, cleanliness

great for vegan novelty

by gingermarie05

The women that run this place had friends that were vegans, so they know what you may be looking out for. You may meet one of these women at the market next door (which has awesome vegan lotus wraps in the freezer section!) This is a good place if you want Thai dishes, too--they will leave out the fish sauce. Actually, with exception to the appetizers, I've only ordered off the Thai menu, because it has more interesting dishes, like the fake fish. It is not expensive, and the meals are always full of flavour. This is a good place to go if you have time to hang out, not if you are in immediate need of your meal (it can take a while to prepare). If I went there tonight, I'd get the hot tea, the pan fried dumplings, Tom-Yum soup with tofu, and something with eggplant and the word "evil" in it (hot stuff it you like).

• Pros: vegan food novelty
• Cons: wait for food

Vegan Chinese

by veggiegirl1975

Oriental Garden is another sit down Chinese restaurant. The owner is very aware of "vegetarian" and even told me that a dish was in fact "vegan" without me asking. Big bonus points.

This restaurant has a Chinese and a Thai menu, both with a separate vegetarian section.

The wonton soup is always vegan, no matter who orders it - it just comes that way. Very exciting. They also have vegetable dumplings.

• Pros: Vegan Options
