Restaurants - Tucson, AZ cont...

Guilin Chinese Restaurant is located at 3250 E Speedway. It labels itself as "Your Healthy Choice" and is a traditional Chinese place with a seperate Vegetarian/Vegan section of their menu. They will use NO oil if you like as well. I was impressed by this place and ate there 3 times. It is a nice looking place, pretty large and busy. Apparently there are a TON of vegans that frequent this place; according to the waitress. On their "Vegetarian Menu" they have quite an impressive array of items. Appetizers include Veggie Dumplings, Spring Rolls, Fried Eggplant, Fried Pumpkin, Fried Yam, and Fried Tofu; but there are more. They had a special appetizer when I was there; Veggie Chicken Drumsticks. They have some great soups too; Corn and Tofu, Seaweed, Hot and Sour are just a few. They breakup the menu into sections; Tofu Dishes, Vegetable Dishes, Noodle/Pasta/Fried Rice, Vegetarian Chicken/Beef/Pork/other, and Vegetarian Shrimp and Fish. In the Tofu section were Kung Pao Tofu, Fresh Tofu and Chinese Greens, Shredded Baked Tofu with Veggies, Szechuan Tofu, and Fresh Tofu Skins with Chinese Greens are just a few examples. The Vegetable section includes pretty much ANY vegetables you could want; as does the Noodle section. The other sections had some great choices, all of which I had were amazing! Kung Pao Veggie Chicken or Beef, Almond or Cashew Veggie Chicken or Beef, Sweet and Sour Veggie Chicken, General Tso's Veggie Chicken or Beef, Gluten Flowers with Vegetables in a Brown Sauce, Mongolian Veggie Chicken or Beef, and Veggie Chicken with Black Bean Sauce to name some. I am not a huge fan of the Vegetarian Seafood, but if you were so inclined, they have Kung Pao Veggie Shrimp, Moo Shu Veggie Shrimp, Veggie Shrimp with Broccoli, and Veggie Fish Filet with Chinese Greens are just a smattering of their choices. I HIGHLY recommend this place for anyone in the Tucson area. http://www.guilintucson.com/ 520-320-7768
