Taiwanese and Cantonese in a basement
This basement restaurant might not be easily noticed when driving down Nicollet Avenue, but they have a very large selection of vegetarian items on the menu, and the owners are extremely friendly and accommodating.
The cuisine is mostly Cantonese, with many mock meat items (beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, squid, and more), as well as some Taiwanese specialties (the owners are both Taiwanese).
At lunch time on weekends they also have some dim sum, including fresh made organic soy milk.

Evergreen is amazing, yes, they get busy. But it is well worth the wait. Frank, the owner, doesn't say much, ever, just does his job, straight to the point.
Tofu skin salad, fried vegetable spring rolls, and lemon grass mock beef.
What could be better?
mmmmmmmm.
Yesterday I had some pepper-fried mock pork, and it may have been one of the best flavors I've ever tasted....
Best vegan food I've had in this city, that's consistent!

Yum! I love Evergreen. I've been there a few times, but I almost always get the chicken with broccoli. The texture is great, and it's very flavorful. The other entree I've gotten there is mock duck with potatoes, which was good, but no match for the chicken. (Mock duck gets boring after a while anyway.) You have to try the vegan steamed dumplings too! They are very tasty. This is a great place to bring family or friends, since there are options for everyone.
