3 reviews Vegetarian's Paradise 2
By Ganjin Girl's Guide to Chinatown Jan 14, 2007
Buddhist Chinese can be hard to get right... Many restaurants try, offering up mock-meat versions of General Tsos, Kung Pao Chicken...and many more classics. This visit was my fourth attempt. Three other times, I had ventured to vegetarian establishments, seeking the perfect Seitan, Tofu and Tempeh dishes. First House of Vegetarian, and Vegetarian Dim Sum...and then Buddha Bodai, but to no avail - the dishes all proved disappointing. Pretty perhaps (at least in the case of Buddha Bodai) - but not as satisfying as the real thing. FULL REVIEW

Tofutopia: Vegetarian’s Paradise II
By NYC Nosh Oct 09, 2006
Vegetarian restaurants in New York can be divided pretty neatly into two camps: one group stands proudly independent of any meat-mimicry, focusing its attention on creating food that exists entirely free of any culinary references to flesh; the other group is notable mostly for its enthusiasm for replicating familiar meat dishes, spawning protein-based concoctions such as mock-shrimp and chicken, mock-duck (sometimes unappetizingly called ‘muck’ or ‘luck’), and that perennial favorite, ‘fakin’ bacon.’ Vegetarian Paradise II in Greenwich Village proudly counts itself among the latter group, making an ongoing project of producing a huge array of carni-facsimiles of everything from fried calamari (made with soy protein and flavored with sea-water), orange beef, beef with broccoli and tenderloin tips (all textured soy protein), and even Mississippi-style pork chops made from grilled soy cutlets. There’s a vague Asian theme here, although with paella, corn chowder, and Texas fried chicken on the menu, you’ll find nearly as much East as West. FULL REVIEW
