We really enjoyed the special hot pot. On a cold winter day it was perfect. It came piping hot and instantly warmed us up. It had a variety of mushrooms, vegetables and vegan seafood/ meat. The size was huge too. My husband also has the scallop with fish option from the right immortals meal which was lovely. He can't consume refined sugar due to health reasons and the options here are mostly without sugar which is rare for Asian food. It felt like clean eating and felt rejuvenated. The ambiance was also relaxing and restaurant is very clean. Owner was passionate about healthy eating and checked on us during the meal. Highly recommend.

Jisu Vegetarian is a casual Chinese restaurant that serves a menu of vegetarian and vegan rice and noodle dishes. it is a medium-sized space with several tables with a modern relaxed Asian vibe. business seems to be mostly takeout and delivery. the menu is fairly large with a familiar Chinese dishes that are meatless. stopped here to grab some lunch. wanted something savory but not super heavy so i went with the vegan chicken & broccoli over rice. it was a satisfying flavorful lunch. nothing fancy. the mix of seasoning + flavors was great. the faux chicken was good and worked well and soaked up the flavors nicely. as a casual lunch option, Jisu works well. Vegan Chicken with Broccoli Lunch Special. $8.99 + tax + tip staff was fine and the food was packed up neatly.

Great place on the outskirts of Chinatown. Right next to the largest Buddhist temple in town. Food is simple, faux meat is high quality. Service is excellent.

This place is amazing! I stumbled on it by accident and it's an instant favorite. I ordered the vegan scallops. The overall dish had an amazing flavor profile and mix of healthy ingredients, beautifully laid out and very tasty. Great menu. Go try it.

My daughter and I enjoyed eating here. We especially loved the anti-aging herbal tea/soup, perfectly brewed and sweetness. The plated meal tastes good and healthy. Overall a real good place for a plant based meal and experience!!

I recommend this restaurant highly, the owner was incredibly friendly, the food was delicious and affordable, and the experience was very cozy and comfortable. A real gem in Chinatown, we will be coming back soon! :)

Many of these Chinese fast food restaurants cost $16 for stir-fry lo mein but here’s it’s half the price and so much healthier!

how is this place real? sublime location, service and food. everything vegan, unbelievable attention to detail, phenomenal service from Ana?, right by the manhattan bridge and sooo inexpensive and affordable!! can't wait to come back for the soup and try even more specials and desserts!!!

The customer service here was amazing 😍 will return here whenever I’m around.

Lots of vegan/vegetarian options, really friendly staff, and affordable dishes.

Jisu is a phenomenal family-owned vegan eatery that offers something for everyone (unless you're craving meat 😜), whether you're in the mood for a quaint and casual lunch/dinner or more formal traditional family-style Chinese banquet. The menu offers a wide variety from burgers, smoothies, bentos, hot wok stews, noodle soups, stir fry wok noodles, fried appetizers, sautéed veggies and vegan inspired traditional entrees. They can make just about anything! The flavors of the dishes are savory and comforting, mostly sautéed with mushroom sauce, soy and five spice. Nothing is too overwhelming or spice-y, they also provide hot sauce upon request. The restaurant is great for Buddhist and Jain diets as they don't use garlic or onion. We've always had fantastic service and have become regulars as a result, the family is accommodating and has gifted us so many goodies and we really appreciate that it is off the beaten path of the main Chinatown on Canal tucked behind a temple, which makes it really quiet with an nice ambience by the base of the bridge. The price range of each entree fluctuates quite a bit, a platter of wok noodles will be under $10 while a traditional entree of soy protein meant to be shared will be up to $30-40. I highly recommend trying one of their immortal meals to try a bit of everything at once and the noodles are a must! One of the highlights are their hericium (lion's mane) mushrooms, which are generally not found on most menus. They're so flavorful and have a meaty texture without the processed soy like many of the other protein-based dishes. In addition to the phenomenal food, one of the best features is that they also have a grocery corner where they sell vegan pantry staples, teas and snacks as well as frozen meats for you to cook at home—absolutely love this! Highly recommend this place to vegans and omnivores alike!

I had the veggie fried dumplings. They were really good and did not disappoint 😋 I will definitely be back another time to try more options on the menu because everything looks tasty, they establishment is clean and everyone was friendly!

If you want a low-key place to eat vegetarian, this is the place. Not too many people know about it and this may be a good thing as it keeps the quality top-notch. Unlike other vegetarian places in Chinatown, they even do burgers. While there, check their fridge and see what you want to take home.

This place is a great spot. It’s clean and delicious. Definitely recommend coming here if looking for something vegetarian!!

This was our second time to Jisu. Sadly, I don’t think we’ll be returning. The food was Ok, but quite highly priced (except for lunch specials which were comparable to others in the area). Most dishes we had were rather greasy, and not super flavorful. The vegan veggie dumplings (fried) were nice and had a homemade wrapper, and the noodle soups with vegetables included a nice assortment of options plus lots of noodles. The larger dishes we got (a mixed mushroom at $30 and an eggplant at over $20) were just disappointingly bland and oily. Our daughter enjoyed the strawberry smoothie, but frankly it was a sugar bomb and we’re not sure how much fruit was in there at all. The servers were nice but the food came out piece mail and took waaaaay too long considering how many folks were in the restaurant while we were waiting. It’s old school New York which is fun, but just not tasty enough when there are so many other great vegan Chinese options in the same area.

The food is fantastic and reasonably priced. It's a great menu for sharing.

As we walked towards a hole in the wall restaurant called Super Taste, that one of my kids friends had raved about, we chanced upon this restaurant. So glad we could find an entirely vegetarian restaurant although we never expected to or searched for one in China Town. My better half was turned off by the open display of hanging skinned chicken/duck from various restaurants. The food was great and did not let us down. But more importantly, we came out of the restaurant feeling clean on the inside.

Unfortunately we found this restaurant on our third day not on our first. We went there every evening for a great soup to end our days of our New York trip. It was so delicious and I really miss the good food here in Germany. We will come back in every future NY trip. See you in 2025

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!

I got the vegan sampler with spare ribs and beef. It was a tasty and balanced meal. Very basic but hit all the right notes and thoughtfully priced at $9.99

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.

This small restaurant has delicious food and amazing smoothies! Thank you for the great service and the food recommendation. Honestly, come visit them because you’ll be delighted! (Order the watermelon smoothie and you won’t regret 😋)

The simpler foods were the ones we liked most. A bit too much oil on some dishes for our liking.

I had the lunch special beef w/broccoli. Food was fresh and delicious and service was quick. I’d definitely stop here again.

Not only amazing food and endless options, the detail and effort of the menu, store layout and environment clearly showed. Beautiful and consistent calming design. Service was great and chill, not pushy

I loved my dinner last night, super nutritious, tasty and fresh 😊 Thank you for so many vegan options in your menu, I was in awe! Will definitely be back when visiting this area again 💜

The food was OK not nearly as good as the old House of Vegetarians. At the end of the meal I gave them my debit credit card and they were taking a really long time to run it like 10 minutes, so I said don’t worry and paid with cash as well as giving a 20% tip. I looked at my Bank of America app later and saw that they had run the charge. So I paid twice for a mediocre meal. I immediately called them and they assured me they would reverse the charge they did not. I called them the next day they did not reverse the charge. Finally I had to call the bank and institute an investigation. A lot more aggravation and they needed for a mediocre meal. I will not go there again

Had the mushroom rice, it was filling, really tasty and made for a great clean dinner! Good mix of crunch and flavours.

Great prices, really traditional food. Although, I’m kind of suspicious that the cheese and mayonnaise in the vegan burgers weren’t actually vegan.. which is concerning, so tread carefully.

Food was okay. Decor is very lovely. Interesting pictures. Medicinal herbs. Knick-knack shelves. Very quiet. Nice furniture. Owner is nice. Snacks for sale. Well-lit.

The food was mad good and fresh. We went there during lunch the owner of the store was mad nice and sweet. Definitely recommend for all the vegans out there.

Very delicious. There are lots of dishes to choose. They also have vegan frozen food to sell.

Tasty vegan versions of Chinese dishes. It was delicious

Best food. Fresh veggies and amazing soups. I am hooked.
