Jiǎn Dān 笕箪 - Times Square

Modern vegetarian Chinese dishes like mapo tofu and stuffed lotus root stand out here, with a notable inclusion of rare mushrooms such as lion's mane. The menu, available in English and Chinese, features several mock meat options including fried soya stripes, and a good selection of tea, beer, and wine. The venue is on Level 5 near the Bamboo Cafe and is moderately priced; staff offer basic English support and are attentive to vegan needs but ingredient checks are advisable.
