Chicken cutlets on the menu? That's not vegan. 😢 - Edit
This has been my favorite vegan Asian spot for a few years now. Some of my go-to's are the Kung Pao Tofu, Salt & Pepper Tofu and their Singapore Noodles. I also love their Thai tea and Vietnamese Coffee. When I tried to call them to verify, the person on the other line confirmed that it's actual chicken.
Read moreUnfortunately as of March 2026, they added chicken cutlet to their vegan menu, and animal byproducts are not vegan. So that means they're no longer exclusively vegan, unfortunately.
I wonder what happened?

Quick, tasty, and not a chain! - Edit
I frequent Cisu for lunch quite often. Their whole menu is DELICIOUS. I’d say that portions for some things may be small for the price, but the quality absolutely makes up for it.

Wonderful collection of Asian Fusion - Edit
Five of us visited over the weekend. The choices on the menu were many. We enjoyed the Curry Puffs! Everyone tried something different, lots of tasting going around. Everything was delicious! Service was fast and the food was hot! Portions are very generous.

DEEEEELSH at Cisu - Edit
I only stopped by for a snack, but I can’t wait to go back and try more! I got the bbq drumsticks and a boba milk tea. Staff was suspect friendly and there is even a little vegan Asian grocery section inside AND a little game area to play games with friends.

Favorite Spot! - Edit
Amazing service! They also sell some of their mock meats and other nice vegan treats and they’re reasonably priced. I got the crystal shrimp and it was so tasty . Also had the Taiwanese beef noodles and mango pudding, so perfect

Wish we had vegan food like this in Baltimore - Edit
Great experience. Amazing choices. Delicious food. The vegan chicken has amazing texture and flavor and the Korean beef was so sweet and savory. I wish we had more. I have no doubts for the other options I didn’t try and want to go back.

Some of the best vegan Chinese food - Edit
I never miss a chance to come here when I'm in the area. You can't go wrong and I love being able to order a ton of vegetable dishes (green beans, eggplant, bok choy). My favorite items I get every time and recommend are the salt and pepper shrimp and the spicy wontons and usually a couple vegetable dishes (French beans stir fried are so good). I also love the taro tea with crystal boba. They also have great vegan snacks you can buy. Also brought my non veg coworker here and now he comes all the time.
Read morePros: Easy to eat tons of veggies , All sorts of mock meats , Delicious every time
Cons: Ambience is mid but shouldn't deter you

Best "All Vegan" Asian Food - Edit
I can't rave enough about Cisu Vegan House! Every dish I’ve tried has been a Hit for Me. My first visit yesterday featured General Tso’s Vegan chicken with brown rice, vegan shrimp tempura, and buffalo vegan drummies—each bite bursting with rich, savory, mouthwatering flavors. The balance of textures and seasoning was so satisfying that I couldn’t resist coming back there today.
Read moreOn my return, I ordered the same starters (because, why mess with perfection?) and decided to try the Korean crispy vegan beef as my entrée. Magnificent doesn’t even begin to describe what I felt while eating. It was crispy, boldly glazed, full of flavor—absolute WIN, the ambiance and staff were just as impressive, warm and inviting.
Whether you're dining solo, out with friends, or on a date, the atmosphere is a perfect balance between vibrant and relaxing, worth the drive. Whether you’re plant-based or just love great food, it delivers satisfaction beyond expectations. Highly recommend
Pros: The Food, The Staff, The Ambiance

Simply a Yes - Edit
If you like Chinese-style with vegan mocks, this is a good find.
Read moreThey also sell packages of several brands of imported jerky plus some other staples.
I found the prices to be lower than expected with the portions higher than expected.
Formerly vegetarian but now all vegan, this venue also does not use any garlic or onion for Buddists.
Pros: Taste, Price to portion-size, Menu with photos
Cons: Too far away from my town

Insanely good - Edit
They have so many options, it was so hard to choose what to get! Loved the pepper vegan beef and the chow mein with the vegan chicken. Bobas are excellent. You also get a lot for a reasonable price.

Good - Edit
I got a green curry with vegan beef. A little lacking in flavor but nothing some hot sauce couldn’t fix. Not enough for me to not give this place 5 stars, considering how there is a multitude of options. Looking forward to coming back

Life Saver! - Edit
This place just happened to be very near the hotel where I stayed while visiting family. What a game changer!! EXCELLENT and 100% vegan! Well worth going out of your way to visit in this area with very few vegan restaurants (and even many vegan meal options).
Read moreWe had fried taro balls (sort of like taro hush puppies) with sweet-n-sour sauce, wontons with spicy dipping sauce and steamed veggie dumplings to start. I had my usual steamed veggies and tofu with brown rice. Another had vegetable lo mein. Everything was terrific. I even had some leftovers for breakfast on the train back to NYC. I really, REALLY wish they were here.
Pros: Excellent food!, 100% vegan, Affordable

So much good vegan food - Edit
Love how many options they have, can't wait to try them all! Started with the Budda Bowl, streamed dumplings, and mango boba tea. All were delicious 😋
Read moreThe chicken looked so good my carnivore partner thought it was real (until he tasted it). He had the Kung Pow chicken and coconut fritters, and taro boba tea, which he liked.
Atmosphere is very casual, staff very friendly, and bowls are compostable.

Awesome food! - Edit
I’ve eaten their food several times now, and I’ve loved most items I tried. Favorites so far: sweet & sour chicken, dan dan noodles, kung po chicken, and for sure the amazing coconut fritters! The boba tea is also really good.
Read moreThe seating area is nothing special, but I like that it’s a good size. I like the little market area near the entrance and have enjoyed mock beef jerky from it.

Nice Surprise - Edit
I was surprised to find a vegan spot in this location. My food was ready quickly and I was very happy with the portion sizes. I ordered the Singapore Style Rice Noodles with veggies, as carry-out. I definitely will continue to support this small business.

Taiwanese vegan - Edit
Fully vegan menu with huge variety of mock meats. Nice boba drinks menu with every drink customizable as to amount of sweetener and type of nondairy milk. Brown or white rice available as well as different types of noodles. Not a lot of atmosphere for a sit-down restaurant but excellent food.
