Garden Wok - TARZANA

The menu includes plant-based alternatives for fish, chicken, beef, and pork, with both brown and white rice options available. To complement your meal, you can enjoy a pot of Jasmine or green tea. Our server, Bill, was friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the overall positive experience. To start, I recommend the Sizzling Rice Soup—a warm and delicious broth filled with vegan shrimp or chicken, tofu, carrots, broccoli, seaweed, and, of course, sizzling rice. The soup can be served family-style in a bowl for sharing or as a large individual portion. For appetizers, don't miss the Chicken Drumette, which features a crispy crust enclosing a tender, meaty center. It comes with a sweet plum dipping sauce and, upon request, spicy Chinese mustard. For a unique twist, try mixing four parts sweet plum sauce with one part hot mustard for a pleasantly spicy dip. The Cream Cheese Wontons are another must-try. Shaped like flowers, these delectable bites are filled with a mix of vegan cream cheese, spinach, minced water chestnuts, and white pepper, all wrapped in wonton skin and deep-fried. As you pull them apart, they resemble blooming petals, making for both a flavorful and visually appealing dish. For main courses, the Beef or Chicken with Pea Pods is a fantastic choice, featuring tender pieces accompanied by carrots and water chestnuts, all finished with a garlic sauce. If you're feeling adventurous, the off-menu Mongolian BBQ, which features thin slices of vegan beef stir-fried with minced vegetables and finished with a rich brown garlic sauce, is truly indulgent. The portions are generous, ensuring you'll likely have leftovers to enjoy later. Garden Wok boasts moderate prices, and the establishment offers free parking and Wi-Fi. Accessibility is also prioritized, with wheelchair-accessible parking, tables, and a gender-neutral restroom available. Overall, Garden Wok is a delightful dining spot that is sure to satisfy your cravings!

AMAZING vegan food, so much flavor the owner is so nice, place is clean, My first time here but I will definitely came back.

This restaurant serves the best Compal chicken I've ever tasted. I've tried many different places, but none come close to this one. The amazing part is that it's actually tofu, and you would never guess the difference!

If you love vegetarian Chinese cuisine, you must visit Garden Wok. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is wonderfully nostalgic, and the owner is incredibly kind. I can't believe it took me eight years of living in LA to discover this place. I can't wait to return!

I initially tried to order online for delivery, but after a lengthy period of selecting my menu items, I ended up calling them since they only offer pick-up (even though the app suggested delivery options). The woman I spoke to mentioned using Grub Hub, but even they wouldn't accept the order. When I called back, I was informed that they only do pick-up and they apologized for the confusion. Normally, I would have given up after all that hassle, but I’m so glad I didn’t! I placed my order over the phone, and my meal was ready in just 20 minutes!
