Veggie Garden Chinese, Vegetarian 516 W Arapaho Rd, Richardson (972) 479-0888  As a vegan, I was scared of moving to Texas, but Veggie Garden has made the transition quite painless. Fantastic menu food, a buffet that changes items frequently, and wonderful owners. They are closed Wednesdays and that is their only shortcoming....

#2

Tasty Plus Barbeque Inc Chinese, Barbecue, Casual/Family 115 S Greenville Ave, Richardson (972) 680-8216  This is Chinese. Not Americanized. Follow the natives and experience authentic Chinese dining. Hanging Duck, Chicken, and Pig greet you at the entrance. If it looks good at someone eles's table point to it and they will bring it to you.
