Our Comments: A large range of bean curd and vegetable dishes available. Say you don’t want any egg. The satay sauce is probably not vegan. The ginger and spring onion bean curd contains oyster sauce. The Szechuan style bean curd is described as 'sea spice' flavour so might not be vegan. The Thai style red curry sauce may not be vegan either. Also have takeaways in  Cardiff (Cathays and Ely).
