Incredible!

We loved this place so much we went three days in a row. Amazing portion sizes especially for the pricing. Lovely staff, couldn’t recommend more!

Pros: Price, Staff, Portion sizes

Cons: None!

Huge portions, amazing food

Fantastic comfort food. The mock duck is amazing especially if you dine in - the freshly fried beancurd skin is perfectly crisp. If you’re getting takeout you might want to order something else, my leftover duck didn’t stay crispy. Server was really nice too. Definitely coming back for more

Great spot for a big meal!

Greens has a relaxed atmosphere and lots of delicious food options. The staff were friendly and the portions are huge and great for family style dining. Prices are more than reasonable. We're looking forward to returning and trying more of their menu! 🤠

Pros: Flavours, Variety, Portion size

Massive portions, good price

Got a delivery so I can’t comment on the actual restaurant experience, but nevertheless, the food was great. Each portion actually ended up being enough for three meals so I definitely got my money’s worth! My only gripe is that it was pretty greasy whereas I’d expected something a bit healthier

Don't order number 40 from the menu

I went alone to this restaurant. I read somewhere, probably a Google review, recommending the number 40 from their menu, so I decided to try it out. Terrible mistake. The taste was bland, relied completely on the side sauce and the portion was huge, so I was not able to order anything else since I didn't have anyone to share it with. Anyway, I see potential in this restaurant but, next time I'll go with someone and certainly will not order this dish.

Cons: Number 40 from the menu

Inexpensive, good portions and always delicious

Green's is a great restaurant with excellent food and service. It's inexpensive compared to most other places in the city and their portions are big! Free jasmine tea, too. I live in Toronto and eat here all the time.

Nice Place

Went alone and had the small wonton soup (22) and the fried rice noodles with mock beef (56).

The food arrived quickly and I had to ask the staff if they were sure the soup was a small as the bowl it came in looked more like a large. I was assured it was a small and unsurprisingly, I could not finish everything and ended up taking the left overs with me.

The portions are indeed huge as others say and I realized that either of these dishes would have been more than enough for the average person.

The food was tasty and the prices were very fair. I am glad I visited this place.

Pros: All vegan, Friendly staff, Fair prices

I love this place so much!

If I could choose one place from Toronto to open a branch at my hometown, it would be Greens Vegetarian restaurant.
I visited four times and almost everything I tried was just great. It is not a fancy place and the dishes are not sophisticated - but they are well prepared and very tasty and satisfying. Also they are usually huge and quite cheap.

I especially recommend spicy green beans with dry tofu (31), and eggplant with tofu in black bean sauce (36).
I also liked the wonton soup (22) and crispy soya fritters (13).

Pros: Tasty, Large portion

Very disappointing

We were sooo hungry and were really excited to eat here. We ordered three dishes which took half an hour to arrive, and they looked nothing like the pictures advertised on the menu
The sweet and sour chicken was way too dry, the mapo tofu was just silken tofu and frozen vegetables in a salty sauce, and the veg fried rice was bland..
The staff were friendly though, and we may have just got unlucky with the dishes we got because the restaurant was pretty busy and other diners seemed to be enjoying their food!

Pros: Large portion sizes , Friendly staff

Cons: Very unimpressed by food

My mom and husband love this place

My mom who isn’t vegan always wants to order from here because she loves the sweet and sour chicken and the fried rice. My husband also loves these, and we all love the green beans. Some dishes have been bland (the vegetable sides and the dumplings), but overall it is good.

Pros: Sweet and sour chicken, Green beans, Fast delivery

Cons: Dumplings are bland, Vegetables aren’t always made well

Might have been unlucky

So unfortunately I didn't love anything that we ordered BUT my friend is crazy about this place. Turns out I don't like taro, mock duck (it freaks me out), but I did like the tofu, broccoli and their black bean sauce. I would definitely give this place a try.

Pros: Good portion sizes, Fresh, Flavourful

Genuine Chinese food in Toronto!

This place is like if you are in a restaurant in china! The food is amazing, all vegan and the service is the best! Not to say that the portions are huge!!!!!!
Really good value for money!
We have been 5 days in Toronto and went a few times as we loved it!

Tofu Dream

The “dry tofu” pieces that came with the green beans were just delicious! The Shanghai noodles were nice and smoky and were plentiful. Sweet and sour “chicken” balls? So yum that my non-vegan roommate kept stealing them!

Good prices - food doesn’t impress

I honestly expected more when I found that place on HappyCow. The service is nice and very fast, however, the mock chicken wasn’t any “chicken like” at all. I would have expected something that at least reminds a bit of a chicken taste or at least texture but it was just a more firm tofu block(?). Or maybe it was too small so I missed it? In either case, it would be disappointing.
The best thing is the price, though, you get a lot of food for little money, the spring rolls are also tasty!
But given that the names of the food items promise more than they can deliver, it’s just a 3/5.

Pros: Fast service, Price

Cons: Nothing special, Not very cosy interior

I have to agree. I mean I personally love greens but I think their menu is really hit and miss. A lot of their mains are just "Meh". I love their soup and appetizers, salt and pepper tofu, mock chicken balls and green bean dish. But a lot of their noodle dishes are just okay.

Greens is a staple

Not the healthiest vegan food in Toronto by any means but it’s amazing to have a Chinese option without egg products. I love their chili mock chicken and the veggie rice.

Pros: Good value , Delicious , Big portions

Cons: Pretty far , Don’t have environmental packaging , Lengthy service

King's Cafe but 1/2 Price

Best mock chicken balls in the universe! Though King's Cafe is better, this is a REALLY good alternative in Kensington Market.

Pros: Excellent prices, Friendly staff, Delicious mock meat

Cons: None

The best food. Best Prices. :)

I am very excited to hear that Greens finally went vegan a little while back. Very good food and inexpensively priced. Very friendly and amazing staff and owner. Very clean and nice place. Too bad they do not use organic/veganic ingredients and do not have many raw vegan or dessert options. Highly recommend.

Not impressed

I usually eat at Buddha’s up the street but decided to try something new and instantly regret. I couldn’t even finish the meal, it tasted like frozen vegetables and tofu chunks. I asked if I could have this taken back and order something else (did not ask for a refund or anything) and they told me no. Will not be returning.

Love!

Ordered the Singaporean fried rice, spicy green beans with dry tofu, bean curd sheets and crispy soya fritters. Generally everything was very tasty but the rice was very bland and I had to add chilli sauce for some flavor. Bean curd sheets could also use some more seasoning, but honestly I still had a great meal.
