Our take: Zi Zai Vegetarian at West Coast is a long-standing neighborhood spot known for its extensive menu of Chinese vegetarian zi char.
Many patrons highlight the 'wok hei' in dishes like the Char Kway Teow and Hor Fun, suggesting a focus on authentic flavors that rival non-vegetarian options.
The Sweet & Sour Meat Rice, priced at $7.80, is frequently praised for its balanced taste and generous portions, making it a reliable choice.
While the everyday dining experience appears consistent and satisfying, with generally attentive service, there are notable concerns regarding special occasion menus.
A particularly negative experience during a Chinese New Year reunion dinner detailed issues with burnt items, unannounced ingredient substitutions (e.g., wasabi prawns for Thousand Island, mala sauce for house sauce), and cold, improperly prepared dishes.
This suggests that while the regular menu is a strong point, the kitchen may struggle with high-volume, pre-set menus or special events.
We'd recommend Zi Zai Vegetarian for casual, everyday meals, focusing on their à la carte zi char offerings rather than special set menus.
