Average - Edit
The surprise menu was not very inspiring. As a starter we got some fried dishes which were very simple. Then we had the lentil soup which was nice. As a main dish we got rice with 3 bowls of vegetables. The bowl with pepper, zucchini and fake meat was tasty, but the other two bowls with tofu, broccoli, cauliflower and mushrooms were a bit boring.

Vegan oasis - Edit
Very peaceful atmosphere and super helpful staff. Large menu of Asian dishes which is 95% vegan (non vegan dishes are marked...!). Big portions, very tasty food. I had a mixed veg Malaysian curry and a Chinese cucumber salad, both of which tasted fresh and satisfying.

Good veggie restaurant - Edit
Good veggie restaurant. Plenty of choices en tasteful. Nice service. Dishes are a bit lacking sufficient soya/tofu… (“beetje zuinig met soya/tofu!!!) when we pointed out the lady was very nice and agreed and returned dishes to add extra tofu…
Read morePros: Good choices, Nice friendly service
Cons: “Beetje zuinig met tofu/soya”

So many vegan options - Edit
Almost the whole menu is vegan. All non-vegan options are clearly labeled. We had grilled dumplings as starter, the vegan "chicken" with veggies and some vegetable mix with tofu. As side we had plain rice and tried the Atjar Ketimoen, which was soo good.
Read moreCam back a few days later and also tried the Thai green curry and Three Treasures. Also great. If you are used to spices and chili in your food, 3🌶🌶🌶-spiciness is totally fine.

Fav in Rotterdam! - Edit
My favorite restaurant in Rotterdam, I’ve been coming for years now and the food is always so good! There’s plenty of seating, we often decide to come last minute and always have table. Service is fast. Only the desserts are a bit dry, I don’t love those. Recommend the tom yum soup, nice and spicy!

Went back again because the food is so good. Even my omni friends thought it was super good! Starter platter was not that much in my opinion. Other food was super yummy. Lemon shrimps main was only the shrimps, so not that much. Could be a starter I think.

The ribs were amazing, the satay and the dumplings were amazing.
The fish tasted just like fish it kinda scared me

Diverse Asian-style vegetarian restaurant for all - Edit
Leaf Vegetarian is a great option for groups, because there are a lot of varied options so both vegans and omnivores can rejoice in all the different Asian flavours. The menu is practically completely vegan. The staff is friendly and the restaurant has a cosy ambience. I only found the desserts a bit disappointing: nothing special taste-wise and also quite small portions. Also, the dishes come with a 'spice-rating' on the menu, but those should be treated with a grain of salt: a 4 out of 4 would still be considered mildly spicy in any of the countries they serve food from.
Read morePros: Practically everything is vegan (except 4 items), Diverse Asian cuisine, Friendly staff
Cons: Could use a bit more spice, Dessert a tad sad, Somewhat small portions

Deserving of its local fame - Edit
Went here tonight and everything was splendid! Our eyes were larger than our stomachs and we ended up having to take most of our mains home - don't be deceived by the prices, these are large servings of food! Especially some of the starters could easily have been a main! Will recommend this to anyone who asks, come give it a try if you're in the mood for some Asian cuisine!

Best vegan Asian food in town! - Edit

Disappointed! - Edit
I don’t mind paying for an expensive high-quality meal, but I do not appreciate being nickeled and dimed for a subpar meal.
Read moreWalked a long distance to this restaurant because it was rated number two on vegan cow (the yelp for vegan restaurants). We were extremely disappointed. First of all we asked for tapwater and they refused to give it to us. I am environmentally conscious and I will not support the use of bottled water in a country where tapwater is clean and safe. Being extremely health-conscious I asked multiple times regarding dishes whether they were fried or not. The waitress assured me that the Soya ribs were not fried but were baked. However they were actually Fried with lots of oil dripping off of them. We ordered Vietnamese noodles, which came in dry and bland. We considered sending it back but decided to be nice and to make it more palatable asking for soy sauce and sweet and sour sauce. Without notifying us in advance they added three euros to the bill for the sweet-and-sour sauce. If the noodles were properly seasoned we would not have had to request the additional sweet and sour sauce. When we brought this up, they replied with “that’s the price”. We ended up paying €50 for two people for a very unsatisfactory meal. We will not be returning.
Cons: The Vietnamese noodles were bland and dry, Added charge for extra sauce without prior notice, Said dish would be baked but was fried with oil

Best vegan Asian food - Edit
Except for one soup everything is vegan at this restaurant. On the menu they call their plates ‘chicken’, ‘lamb’ or ‘shrimp’, but it is all vegan replacements. I love the Sate and ‘lamb’ in peppersauce. They deliver as well …
