[Guest guest]

After Bok Choy closed, R from Marin asked me what he should order at Enjoy, here’s my answer:

San Francisco

Very good Dishes:

 

#90 Bean Curd Rolls with Vegetables stuffed with cabbage and

mushroom

#46 String Beans with veggie “beef” (made with black beans, wheat free?)

#53 Eggplant with veggie “sea bass”, eggplant usually soak up oil

#63 Lotus Root, Lily Vegetables, Peas and Ginko Nut, ginko is good for the brain

#66 Stir Fry Mixed Green Vegetables (yau choy, shanghai bok), nice variety

#65 Steamed Chinese broccoli, my favorite greens, but might be boring for u

#102 Enoki Mushroom, Dried Mushroom, Bamboo Pith with

soft tofu (starchy sauce on the BLAND side) it’s good if you like something different

#80 Kung Pao “chicken”, best fake meat dish there, must be the sweetness

 

Average Dishes:

 

#114 Shanghai Rice Cake with napa cabbage, veggie “ham”

 

Once in a blue blue moon dish, it’s too starchy and plain for some folks. $3 each:

Five Grain Chinese Tamales made with sweet white rice,

mung beans, brown, black, red rice, mushrooms, and veggie “chicken” wrapped in bamboo leaf (special order)

#31 Veggie Tri-style “chicken” w napa cabbage, If you are not afraid of FRIED fake meat the texture is good. It’s a double whammy for me, (fried and fake meat) so I won’t order this again:

#109 Singapore Style Chow Rice Vermicelli, too spicy for some

#92 Pai Pa Tofu Ball w/ Brocolli is not as crunchy as Shangrila

 

Dishes I didn’t care for:

 

2 years ago, I ordered the family style pre-fixe meal, most of the dishes have fake meat in them. I am not a fan of fake meat, especially,

#21 Veggie meat ball soup

#25 Medicine Soup, but is good for ya

 

Hint:

 

The $7.50 Tue-Friday lunch is a bargain. You get large portions.

 

In summary, you can’t go wrong if you order the dishes that’s has a picture of it on the menu.

 

This report took me 3 weeks of research, hope you can benefit from it.

 

As always go support your local veggie restaurant, restaurants in general are not doing well.

 

And please do not open another veggie restaurant, unless you have a strong background in the business AND have a lease with LOW rent
