Hunan Cafe - Henrico

I would give this place 5 stars, but unfortunately Happy Cow only rates it 4 stars. I have been here a few times and their tofu dishes are incredibly delicious. The mock meat options are also very good, although as a non-meat eater I can't speak to their exact taste. The kungpao tofu has become a personal favorite of mine. My only complaint is that I wish they had more dishes that combine tofu and faux meat with vegetables, as most options are either one or the other. The staff is very friendly and the interior is simple. There is plenty of parking since it is located near a grocery store. Normally I try to avoid oil, but this place is a welcome exception on my cheat days.

I was disappointed when they were out of General Tso's Tofu at the restaurant. I decided to try the vegan chicken instead, but even when I asked for it extra spicy, there were no spices added. The vegetable lo mein was bland and had no flavor. I appreciate that they have vegan options, but I probably won't seek them out again in the future.

I was pulled out and ordered through the BeyondMenu app. Had the opportunity to get fried rice instead of white. I have to go home to find that there's egg in there. The faux meat was good. Almost too good.

The restaurant offers a fantastic selection of vegan dishes, including delicious faux meat options.

Very good mock meats. Much cleaner than China Panda. It has a relatively small but thorough mock menu with mock beef, chicken, shrimp. The mock beef and snow peas are great. The atmosphere is simple but nice with a bubbling fish tank and some nice Chinese paintings. It’s so nice to be in a restaurant without tv’s on the walls, which are distracting and create a chaotic atmosphere.
