Vegetarian/Vegan Dinner at Jisu

****Arrive any time between 6:00pm and 9:00pm and stay as long as you want or leave when you need. Arriving at 7:00pm or 8:00pm is perfectly great!****
One of the last events I hosted pre-pandemic was here! Let’s go again! I wanted to have an event to spread the word and support another restaurant in Chinatown! They closed during the pandemic and I was happy to see them back again and thriving! Located in Chinatown near the Manhattan Bridge, the veg scene in Lower Manhattan continues to grow!!
Plus, Anna (main server) is soooo sweet!
From Yelp (4.5/5 stars, 67 reviews) ~
Kruti S.:
Verdict: pretty good, very affordable vegan Chinese food. Might return to try more
Food:
The menu is really vast and overwhelming, but I recommend sticking to the noodle and rice dishes. Of the mock meat options that we tried, I liked the vegan fish best and my friend liked the vegan fish ball best (both from the vegan fish w. vegan fish ball, seven grains rice dish). I can’t speak to accuracy of taste since I have not had animal meat or fish. Portions are smaller than they seem, or perhaps my friend and I were very hungry. We needed 3 dishes between the 2 of us, but prices are very cheap
Service:
It seems like a family-run restaurant. Food was fresh and not too slow to come out. However, because the restaurant wasn’t busy, the lady wasn’t particularly attentive, so it took effort to get her attention.Jo S.
Love this place. It’s so hard to find vegan food in the neighborhood that is affordable and healthy, and this place is both. I love their combo platters, and would recommend the D6 with the eight treasure soup. The staff is always really friendly, and it is rarely crowded. Afterwork if I’m hungry and want something that’s vegan and not super heavy, this is my first stop.
Michelle T.:
The service was very friendly and everyone was very helpful when we had questions about the menu. I had their knife-cut noodles with spare ribs and chicken. The chicken was really, really good. The noodles were also really good. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal.
My dish was $9 and you can definitely get pretty full from it. By the time we left, the place was pretty full, so come early!
From Google (4.6/5 stars, 114 reviews) ~
Weili L.:
A very good vegetarian restaurant, the environment here is good, the Zuo Zong Chicken is quite good, I will definitely recommend it to my friends
Stella M.:
Jisu is one of the best affordable vegan restaurants in NYC. I’ve tried their combination platters, stir fry noodles, soups, dumplings, veggies, smoothies, and fruit drinks and they are all very delicious! The food feels healthy and not heavy. The owner is friendly and the restaurant is comfortable. Excited to come back to try more items on the menu!
**Everyone pays for themselves; cash & major credit cards accepted.**
