Dim Sum House by Jane G's (3939 Walnut Street) expands its all-day dim sum and signature favorites menu with a special menu of new gluten-free and vegan options! Owner Jackson Fu has seen increased demand and requests for more and more gluten-free and vegan selections and felt a special menu was an important next step for the University City restaurant. Top vegan dishes include scallion pancakes, dan dan noodles, truffle edamame dumplings, and much more listed below. The special menu now includes over twenty gluten-free dining options, including spicy shrimp dumplings, pad thai, and mei fun.

"We wanted to make our menu even more accessible,” said owner Jackson Fu. “Across the board, in restaurants across the city, customers tastes and preferences keep evolving. All restaurants should start to think about vegan and gluten free options from the time they open. For us, we want to broaden the menu but also create a special section where our vegan and gluten free customers can pick from and feel at home. We also hope to reach diners who may not realize how many choices for them there are at Chinese restaurants.”

All dishes under the vegetables section of the menu are vegan. Diners also have the ability to customize several of these new menu options - all dishes within the Familiars and the Fried Rice/Noodles section can be customized with tofu, mushrooms, or mixed vegetables. Prices for gluten-free and vegan range from $5 - $14.
