17 years ago, TienGarden embarked on a mission to pioneer the authentic Vegan diet. We witnessed the neighborhood change for the better. We now go further in our cause to improve your spiritual needs with TAO. Anyone with food creativity who would like to step in and take over the business that we left off, please inquire us.


Vegan Food. Good for the body, soul, and the EARTH!


Our Philosophy......

In 1995, Tiengarden opened its doors in hopes of creating a warm, comfortable, and communal space for people to share healthy and delicious vegan food together. For over a decade, we remain steadfast in our commitment to exist for our loyal customers and longtime friends. Unquestionably, Tiengarden operates on a daily basis to provide a familiar place for people from all around the world to call "home."

As the times change around us, the persistent workings of the world produce a very different environment in which we must live. Thus, in order to adapt to the new milieu, it is inevitable for us to make changes. However, at Tiengarden, we greatly value this opportunity for change because it gives us the chance to make positive adjustments to our static routine. In contrast to our modern society's incessant promotion of speed, intense competition, and choices in excess, we seek to return to a more basic and simple way of living. Innately, as human beings, we possess the ability to know what is best for ourselves. Even prior to birth, we are attuned to our bodily needs and outer surroundings. But, as modern-day technology pervades our daily lives, it has become challenging for us to fully connect with nature and ourselves.

Therefore, at Tiengarden, we strive to go back to our true natures, that is to say, to return to a natural world of tranquility and peace. At the very moment our customers call on us, we bring our good intentions to them. Because our kitchen staff is mindful of the strong relationship between the ways in which food is prepared and every customer's well being, our food offers each person an abundance of positive energy. It is our hope to assist our customers in leading harmonious lives.

Since its grand opening, Tiengarden takes great pride in its
17 years establishment as a pioneer of healthful vegan cuisine in New York City. As we head farther into the new millennium, the importance of a vegan diet and lifestyle has only grown in significance. At Tiengarden, we strongly advocate respect for and appreciation of the earth's bounty through fine vegan home-style cooking. In keeping with this spirit, we offer simple vegan food prepared with the freshest and most innovative ingredients that we can find from around the globe. Because we follow the ancient Chinese wisdom of using food as a natural way to heal ourselves and create balance in our bodies, we hope to share our ideals with you through our vegan cuisine. We are overwhelmingly grateful for the continual support of our most faithful customers and good friends. At an age where the East invariably meets the West in all aspects of life, we combine both cultures together to offer a safe haven for anyone who desires to open one's mind as well as feed one's body and soul. Welcome to Tiengarden!
