    Veggie Heaven absolutely blew me away. This was hands down some of the best food I’ve ever had — and the fact that it’s all vegan is just mind-blowing. Every dish was packed with flavor, and you would never guess it’s entirely plant-based. It’s such a gem, especially for anyone who’s vegan or just looking to try something a little different. I highly recommend starting with the super scallion pancakes. They’re crispy, savory, and totally addictive. We also ordered the Ting Ting Two Flavor, which was incredibly flavorful with the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy. The textures and seasoning were spot on. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared and really well executed. The staff was so kind and welcoming. You can tell they care about the food and the experience. Service was quick, and they were happy to answer questions and make recommendations. The vibe in the restaurant was cozy and casual, perfect for a relaxed meal that still feels special. Whether you’re vegan or not, this place is worth checking out. I’m already planning my next visit because I left full, happy, and totally impressed. Veggie Heaven lives up to its name!

    I visited Veggie Heaven in Montclair after five years, and it was nice to return. If you're going with a group larger than six, it's best to reserve in advance. The restaurant service is efficient, and food arrives quickly. However, the staff may benefit from a bit more training. We had some communication issues during our visit, particularly around menu explanations, and there was a mix-up with our order—three orders of Tso Chicken were placed, but four were billed. Thankfully, the bill was corrected without issue. At times, the service felt a bit rushed, as if we were being encouraged to order quickly, possibly to accommodate other reservations. While I understand the need for quick table turnover, it would be nice to slow things down a little to better enjoy the atmosphere. Overall, the food was good, and the experience was pleasant. A few small improvements could make it even better.

    I go here with my partner at least once a week. The service is awesome, the food is awesome, and save for an occasional garbage person on their phone I'd say the atmosphere is also awesome. The price is right where it should be and we love going here. The place is *almost* entirely vegan. Some dishes have honey, but otherwise good to go. I can't recommend them strongly enough. I have tried most of the food on the menu and I have really enjoyed almost everything. They are very endearing and knowledgeable about the food they serve. You need to visit the Montclair Veggie Heaven if you're in town.

    A new favorite restaurant for us, absolutely worth the long drive we took to get there. Veggie Heaven in Montclair NJ serves Asian fusion; all offerings are completely vegan. Everything we ordered was scrumptious and we were shocked at how nearly indistinguishable from the cruel-meat version our "spare ribs" were. I don't know what magic their chef used to create my family's meals, but it was A-MA-ZING. From soup to "cheese"-cake w/nuts, we were impressed! It wasn't a letdown in any way, even for the red-meat-eaters in our party. Plus, it was reasonably priced... With the generous portions, we each came home with takeout containers for another whole meal at home. The staff were accommodating, friendly, and responsive...Perfect! For vegans who have lost their cravings for meaty taste altogether, it's still nice to have variety options sometimes--and there are some dishes that do not emulate flesh dishes. Nothing was oversalted or overspiced. Sometimes I think salt and hot spice are overused when chefs think they are "leaving something out" when creating vegan dishes, and, therefore, overcompensate with too-strong zing. Not here! Everything was perfectly flavored as plated! Veggie Heaven's chef's skill at replicating the look, taste, and mouthfeel of classic Asian fusion/comfort foods is masterful. This restaurant is worthy of a destination day trip to Montclair; we ate at Veggie Heaven, then drove 7 minutes to the Montclair Art Museum. Our day out was rich in creativity and left us happy and sated, physically and spiritually. Definitely: EAT HERE!

    Amazing vegan Chinese food. Both the specialty dishes (try the honey walnut “chicken” or the sizzling black pepper “beef”) and the more classic favorites (the “chicken” and broccoli is a standout) are consistently delicious. The dumplings are excellent too—the shu mai are especially creative, and the veggie dumplings are really flavorful and satisfying. Friendly waitstaff, an extensive menu, and always a great experience. Simply the best.
