Big Lantern - San Andreas

One of the best vegan Chinese places I eat in San Francisco would definitely recommend. We ordered delivery that arrived in time. I was tired after a long flight so the opportunity to dinate in the Air bnb was much appreciated. The orange vegan chicken was super delicious and the tofu king Poa was also great! The veggie chow mien left something to wish because it was a little dry, but mixed with other dishes it worked!

I guess there are vegan options in Big Lantern but the quality was just not there during my visit. The food was edible, but nothing inspired me to go back at any point. 2.5 stars. See attached pictures.

Excellent, as a reformed carnivore I would never have thought that I had such a chicken again, delicious

If there were 5 stars, they would have been allowed to get non-veg restaurants. I ordered the vegetarian dim sum as my duck and it was a lot of food for a reasonable price $15). Everything was delicious! dumplings and rolls were super aromatic, as well as the faux-chicken bowl. I would also order the sesame balls for dessert - they are like deep fried, Reisteig Donut filled with delicious bean paste

Don 't be put off by the exterior of this little gem. Once inside you will find a lively classic family run Chinese restaurant, Of all the vegan dishes we loved the Dim Sum. The fake Pork Buns were the most amazing. As a whole food plant based consumer the decadence of a sweet, white flour steamed bun filled with sweet sauce and bits of stuff that tasted like pork was quite decadent. We had not eaten Dim Sum for over 10 years but finally we can! The other vegan dishes are good and typically very oily, but you have to come here for your once-in-awhile treat!
