confidence 0.65 ·

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

Lao Wai was historically a fully vegan Chinese restaurant (HappyCow lists it as vegan, Thatsup guide says 'completely vegan') but a recent diner review (Apr 2026) reports a single non-vegan dish has been introduced, making the menu no longer 100% vegan. Staff are described as helpful and accommodating; vegan requests can be made, but the kitchen is not dedicated.
