Chinese and Japanese in one restaurant
This restaurant is divided into two halves, one Chinese-themed and one Japanese-themed. It is owned by a Taiwanese family, which explains the combination, Taiwan being a former Japanese colony.
There are a number of vegetarian selections, though some of them, such as "vegetarian yellow bird", are normally made with chicken stock. They will change this if requested. They also have some mock meat versions of their meat dishes. On weekends they serve dim sum, some of which is vegetarian.
The Japanese menu has a good selection of vegetarian sushi, as well as vegan vegetable tempura.

I used to love the veg. chicken, but one of the servers told me that it's made with egg whites. I requested it without the egg whites and it didn't taste nearly as good.
I agree with Dave -- the veggie items are great. The mock-meat stuff is okay, although it tends to be replicas of the deep-fried items (Sesame/Gen Tso's Chicken, etc.) and that might not be to your liking. I do like getting Chinese and sushi at the same time. (I'm sure that offends some purists, but so it goes...)
The vegetarian dishes here are quite good, especially the vegetarian yellow bird and vegetarian dumplings. I haven't been there in a while, so I haven't tried their newer mock meat items.
Their food and service is pretty good. Yummy egg rolls! I haven't been there in a while, but I believe they got rid of the mock meat dishes from their menu. It's a shame, because I really liked the mock General Tso's chicken!
