Taiwanese Vegetarian! - Edit
First time in this cafe!
Read moreOrdered the combo meal for one person
Got C72 sweet and sour lappa
The soy nuggets, spring roll, wonton soup and the lappa tastes amazing!
They're fried, but not oily. Taste is just right
Salad provided was fresh
Server was likewise very patient and accomodating
Will come back for some more delicious food!
Pros: Sweet and sour Lappa C72

Good vegetarian food - Edit
Nice vegetarian food that can be made vegan on request. However only 4 stars as the restaurant was a little quiet on Saturday at lunch time and was a bit intimidating as a solo diner

Asian vegetarian cafe - Edit
We really had a fantastic meal. Large menu. Asian Thai Chinese. Vegetarian but everything can be made vegan. Had the vegan Peking duck for the first time. Outstanding! Very nice polite lady server. Nice atmosphere. Clean. Delicious. Hit the store where a nice lady sold us all kinds of stuffs like vegan snacks and teas and sweets. Definitely a cool place to visit. Near Kingston market. Highly recommended

Delicious food, s l o w service - Edit
We typically order delivery from here and the food is great! Today we decided to eat in…. Slow is an understatement. We asked for our tea three times - still never came. Service leaves a lot to be desired. But the food is worth it - I’d just suggest delivery 😆
Read morePros: Completely vegetarian , Food is delicious
Cons: Service is so slow

A great option - Edit
The food was pretty good overall, we had a few plates to share so that we could taste more stuff. We also had some house made iced tea which was lovely. There was an issue with our waiter (an order we never received but were outright accused of having taken) which kind of made the whole experience a little less agreeable, but I would nonetheless go back.

Best Chinese food - Edit
The food was sooo good. Everything is vegan except a few items that contain egg or dairy which are clearly labeled (they should just make the switch to fully vegan at this point 😉). Their fake meat is really good.
Read moreThey bring out the entrées to share so if you go with any other people, order a bunch of entrées to split.

Great food, nice staff, well labeled menu - Edit
There were minimal staff, so I don't know if they are able to handle things when busy, but they did well when we were there (there were only two other families). The food was really good. Everything is vegetarian. Most foods are vegan, and it specifies if foods contain dairy, eggs, and if spicy or very spicy. They also have a little shop with Asian vegan and veggie foods.

So Seitanerific - Edit
There are good vegan Chinese restaurants, and then there are great vegan Chinese restaurants. This is one of the latter. Their BBQ Seitan With Bokchoy is incredible - crispy outside, moist and tender inside. The sticky rice is so yummy. And there is so much other great stuff to explore on the menu.

Delicious dim sum!! - Edit
A bit pricey and greasy, but the dim sum is delicious!! You do have to watch out for eggs in some of the mock meats that they sell (they have a range available to take home and cook yourself). They have a wheelchairs accessible ramp and seating is comfortable. I took my omni friends here for lunch and they loved it!

The most wonderful "bbq pork" steamed buns I have ever had. Will go back again for those again and again. I was not a huge fan of the dumplings or the seitan
