Mason's Dumpling Shop - Los Angeles

This little inconceivable restaurant was just close to a friendhouse so we stopped. The food was really good and they mark veg options. The vegetarian bao and rice bowls are actually vegan after our server. We tried them as well as the dumplings and everything was surprisingly great!

I loved Masons! I get the vegetable dumplings and then the vegan ginger chickens. Your Chili Crunch Oil is amazing... Make sure to mix it with a little vinegar and soy sauce. Try to get some of them! Amazing institution

After the advice of others, I ordered the vegan dumplings, but added the vegetarian rice dish. It was delicious! They offered a beef substitute or a ginger chikn substitute. I followed the advice of the employee and tried the ginger chikn and I loved it and I don't like many vegan chicken options. The dumplings for dinner yesterday and rice bowl for today's lunch. Order extra bok choy to balance the chikn and rice ratio because there is only a handful of bok choy in the bowl.

I have the vegan dumplings that were super (handmade, yummy). However, the rice dish is only rice, bushchoi and imitation beef. I personally don't like imitation beef, so I was really unsatisfied. As it turns out, the vegan filling for her Bao is the same “Bef”, so I will probably only come back for the dumplings. Your other vegan options just don't seem inspired. I'd rather eat in places that really know how to cook vegetables and not just rely on imitation meat.

They clearly label their vegan items on the counter. Dumplings are great and really filling, staff is nice too
