Vegetarian dining at Pin Wei

The other day, I brought a vegetarian friend of mine to the restaurant. She greatly enjoyed the Cucumbers in Scallion Oil, Mixed Mushrooms in Dry Pot and the Eggplant in Garlic Sauce. She remarked as we were leaving, though, that she would not have know what to order had I not been there. I acknowledged rather sheepishly that our menu is not intuitive when it comes to vegetarian options. We've since fixed that - if you are vegetarian, feel free to ask for our vegetarian menu;  it'll show you on one page all your options.

There are two ways to order if you are a vegetarian. You could either order a dish that is already vegetarian, or ask for a dish with meat to be modified. The latter option obviously works only for certain dishes - if fish is the main ingredient in a dish, it's not going to be very good if we make it vegetarian!

Here are the vegetarian offerings on our menu. This is non-exhaustive; if there's another dish you'd like to try, feel free to ask whether it can be made vegetarian.

Appetizers:
- Cucumbers in Scallion Oil
- Marinated Seaweed
- Sichuan Pickled Vegetables
- Spinach with Ginger Sauce
- Dan Dan Noodles (ask for vegetarian version)
- Cold Noodle Sichuan Style (ask for vegetarian version)
- Sichuan Style Green Bean Noodle
- Scallion Pancakes
- Spring Roll

Soups:
- Hot and Sour Soup
- Egg Drop Soup
- Pumpkin Soup
- Vegetable and Tofu Soup
- Egg and Tomato Soup

Entrees:
- Mapo Tofu (ask for vegetarian version)
- Shredded Potato with Vinegar Sauce
- Dried Sauteed String Beans (ask for vegetarian version)
- Deep Fried Long Hot Peppers
- Sauteed Snow Pea Leaves
- Ginger and Scallion Pumpkin
- Sauteed Mixed Vegetables
- General Tso's Tofu
- Tofu Stew with Vegetables
- Eggplant in Garlic Sauce Casserole
- Homestyle Tofu Casserole
- Mixed Mushrooms in Dry Pot
- Mixed Mushrooms and Green Bean Noodle Casserole
- Vegetable Fried Rice/Lo Mein
- Vegetable Fried Rice Noodles
- Vegetable Chow Fun

My favorites are the dishes I ordered for my friend - the Cucumbers in Scallion Oil, Mixed Mushrooms in Dry Pot and the Eggplant in Garlic Sauce. After all, I was sharing the meal :-)

I am a vegetarian that has very recently discovered Pin Wei. I have since been there twice and recommend it frequently. I can't wait to come back! Thank you so much for having a vegetarian menu, it is greatly appreciated!

    I'm a management consultant full-time, have a passion for good food, and help out at my in-laws' restaurant when I can. It's been a real journey watching them start this restaurant from scratch, sharing in both the good and bad times, and thinking of ways to improve the customer experience. We can't say we have it down pat, but we won't stop trying.
