About

Lao Wai serves Chinese and Taiwanese dishes such as Mapo tofu, Jia Chang Dou Fu and soy-based ice cream in a small room with simple pine furniture. Most of the menu is described as vegan, but a recent reviewer says one dish is now non-vegan; book ahead for busy evenings, and expect main dishes that reviewers often find pricey.
