    Uncle hing's wings
    Anushka B.

    Now this is how you do vegetarian and vegan meals! No wonder they made the list for Yelp's Top 25 Places to Eat in 2024!! Everything we ordered from here made us go "ummm yuuummm!" We went there on a Sunday afternoon for lunch, I had gotten a reservation beforehand and I'm glad that I did because it was crowded and there was a slight wait for walk-ins. The space is not too big but it's done up in a very tasteful manner. I would say it's a good date night spot for sure! When we arrived, we were seated promptly and the servers were pretty attentive. I got the guava juice and the ice offee.. I thought the ice coffee wasn't too sweet. For food, we were so intrigued by their appies that we decided to get just those and skip the main course. :: Uncle Hing's Wings - crispy oyster mushroom with a sweet & spicy sauce. It was pretty good, but the rice crackers seemed bland. :: Truffle dumplings - soupy, garlicky, and yummy! :: Coconut rice cakes - hands down the best dish on the menu! All of us at the table couldn't get enough of it to the point that we decided to get a second round. They were super soft and would melt in your mouth! The dipping sauce really added to the flavour as well. I will definitely go back just for them! :: pan fried daikon cakes - again, the texture was soft and different. It was placed on top of an egg. We ordered some chilli oil on the side which went really well with the cakes! Honestly, thinking of my next visit there already. 5/5!

    BUN BO HUE
    Disha G.

    I loveeeee them. I have never been to such an amazing vegan place before. This place has the best curated menu for vegan dishes with the perfect ambience for a date night. We went there on a Friday evening and we quickly got a space. We ordered couple of dishes from their menu, but the best one was Bun Bo Hue. The whole bowl was so flavorful from mushrooms to the lemongrass broth. And you can customize the spiciness too. Trust me, I have to go back here again and again to try everything on their menu. And everyone on the staff was so friendly and welcoming! I love this place.

    Vegan Pho!

    SO MANY good vegan options -- my Vietnamese dining partner said that the food was excellent full-stop, not just for being the vegan version of these dishes. I want to go back and try averting on the menu!

    Truffle Dumplings and coconut rice cakes
    Bowie T.

    Friday eve dinner with my date. Had a reservation for 8pm. Seated immediately right across from the bar by the booth side. Most of the tables were filled with other patrons. We ordered the truffle dumplings, uncle Hings wings, and coconut rice cakes. Beers to start. Pros: - delicious vegetarian cuisine. Probably one of the best in the city so far (we've tried folke, mila) - friendly attentive service - easy to book a reservation - free parking on kingsway

    Probably the best vegetarian restaurant I've ever been to. Most likely. Do Chay is the best vegetarian restaurant I've been to. My faves are the spring rolls with "ish sauce", truffle dumplings, and hing's wings! If I didn't know these were vegetarian I honestly wouldn't have known! The sauce for the spring rolls is even better than the real thing. And the dumplings .... wow... a bite of pure umami. The noodles were both super flavorful but they came out last and I was so full by then I couldn't appreciate them enough. Also pictured: papaya salad, coconut cakes(?) "eggs". super delicious. and tofu stir fry 10/10.

    I consider this place the gold standard of vegetarian Vietnamese places. I(I went to and reviewed the Yaletown location before they closed). We booked one week in advance for 6 for Friday night - it's a small space so highly recommended. Wait staff is very friendly. Mmm the food. We ordered so much to share. Everything is so so good - the mixture of flavours, and textures is incredible. Every bite has both smooth and crunchy. My favourites in particular: - the coconut cakes. Wow. Smooth filling is sooo luscious. - green beans. Spicy, the taste and crunchy texture is sooo good. - lemongrass tofu. Superb flavour and sauce. - red banana fried crispy rice dessert. This one is just incredible. We asked them how they made it so good. It's steamed and then fried. Soft and warm and crunchy on outside with tapioca. - buffalo wings - the mushrooms are really good. My son who don't usually eat mushrooms are a lot. The crunchies are also really good. We also ordered almost everything else. You really can't go wrong.

    Wings (oyster mushroom)
    Kate C.

    Awesome to have a vietnamese restaurant that serves vegetarian food thar expands on the viet food menu. Lots of thing to try here that are not typically found in Vancouver. From the reviews before me, everyone raves about the eggplant dish and the wings. The wings were definitely the star of the show. Great flavor, great texture. The eggplant dish was lackluster. The choy sum veggies it came with were just blached with no salt or anything. I would skip it and try something else. The monsoon rolls were very refreshing but the crispy mix inside weren't very crispy. The peanut pineapple sauce was delicious. The banh xeo was disappointing as it was filled way too much with jicama and sprouts. The filling is double the amount as it normally is. The crepe itself got soggy too soon which means the veggies inside were too wet. Southern dry noodles were not bad. The sauce all went to the bottom so you should mix it every once in a while. The soup that it came with was very plain. We will definitely come back for the deep fried oyster mushrooms but maybe try other things next time.

    Satay noodles
    Chelsey H.

    We went for Mothers Day and were really impressed with the food options. The waitresses were very attentive and the space was cozy! We started with three appies and none disappointed. The papaya salad was fresh and a bit tangy, the spring rolls were hot, delicious and crispy and the coconut rice cakes were not too coconuty and had a great texture. Softer on the top but crunchy on the bottom. Warning - also served piping hot! I wasn't super hungry so I didn't order a main but tasted the lemongrass tofu rice bowl, the satay noodles and Bún Bò Huế and all had great tastes. They were a bit more gentle in flavour than the appies but all satisfying!

    Sweet and spicy bowl
    Hoa T.

    This is by far the best vegan Vietnamese restaurant that I have found anywhere. We had spring rolls and fry bread for appetizers. The spring rolls were so good that they disappeared before I could remember to take a photo. The fry bread was also great, the slight tartness of the jackfruit balanced out the sweetness of the fry bread. Next up was the sweet and spicy bowl and the bun bo hue. The bowl was alright, not too sweet or spicy with a nice crispness to the veggies. The star was the bun bo hue. The broth was super flavorful, very close to the meat version that I had to keep on slurping even when I said I was full. You won't be disappointed coming here.

    Coconut cakes
    Sunny Y.

    Really creative, inspired v Vietnamese food! I'm excited to come back and try other dishes on the menu. Food we ordered: - Coconut cakes - 5/5 incredible. So light and filled with flavor, light and crispy edges with unctuous delicious soft insides. Highly recommend, love the play on textures and flavors. The sauce has a lot of chili flakes that kept getting stuck in my throat. - Bun bo hue lemongrass soup - Nice strong lemongrass flavor. This is a predominantly faux meat dish so would choose a more plant forward one next time. This is a spicier one with the same chili flakes that stuck to my throat. This was a lot of food, the bowl is a big one. 4/5 - Plantain sticky rice tapioca - The Plantain to sticky rice ratio was really high with a very small amount of plantain. The plantain is like the sushi filling to a roll of sticky rice that's then deep fried and put onto a bed of tapioca pearls. The crisp on the sticky rice was a bit hard, and heavy. Tapioca was a bit on the sweeter end but nice and light. 2/5 - It is a taste preference though, because partner loved the dish since they liked crispy things. Perfect balance of textures of creamy and crunchy, smooth banana, not too pungent or strong. Liked the fried sticky rice and presentation that looked like a sea star. Service: Really sweet friendly people here. Ambiance: Pretty clean and modern.

    Uncle Hing's wings
    Gabby A.

    I really enjoyed my meal here. Went during lunch on Monday. It was busy because it was a holiday so I recommend making reservations. Service was quick and attentive. I think the uncle hing's wings are a must try! Made out of mushrooms and great sweet and sour flavor. Also ordered the black garlic eggplant which was delicious but didn't have a strong garlic flavor. We then ordered a southern noodle dish which I really enjoyed. Everything had great flavors! And portions were good to share. We ended up having leftovers to bring home. My reason for 4/5 is because there was an odd smell once we walked in. I have no idea what it was from. when we walked in

    Vegan prawns curry
    Sai R.

    It is a small quaint little place. One of the best vegetarian places I have been to till date. The service is very quick. I highly recommend their rice cakes, prawns curry and truffle dumplings. It is a small place so I would recommend doing a reservation beforehand.

    Eggplant, satay noodle, and desert island noodle
    Quoc H.

    Came for takeout dinner time. Restaurant was packed and food took about 30minutes to make. Parking was not too bad at that time. Staff was very nice in provide recommendations. Prices were a bit above average. 8/10 Coconut Rice Cakes - creamy and soft. Coconut flavor was there. Portion very small. 8/10 Garlic Eggplant on Rice - Bit salty but better with the rice. Eggplant was cooked well 8/10 Satay Noodle - hot and flavorful broth. Noodles were prepared with bit of chewiness 7/10 Desert Island Noodles - looks like udon noodles. Was just ok. Nothing bad or good that stood out.

Ok ok, what's better than driving to Canada to eat vegan food, I'll tell you .. driving to Canada to eat vegan food while meeting new vegan friends! We decided to meet up at Mila Plant-Based, 100% vegan restaurant in the downtown area sort of right in-between Downtown Eastside, Science World, and Gastown. The restaurant has a lovely, quaint ambiance, feels very welcoming upon entering. The bathroom was .. well, posh! I don't normally make a point to comment on bathroom decor, while average in size, I felt like I was being upgraded to First Class lol. Ok, moving right along .. lol They have two menus, a Weekend Brunch Menu and, for all other hours, a Lunch/Dinner Menu, ..we ordered from the Weekend Brunch Menu. I had the Bibimbap Bowl - rice bowl with Yo Egg, mushroom bacon, kimchi, tempura yam, cucumber, carrot, gochujang sauce. This bowl had many layers of unique flavors all married perfectly in every exquisite bite, I say this very sincerely! My wife ordered the Pina Colada Pancakes - pancakes, toasted coconut syrup, cashews, cocktail cherries, rum-candied pineapple, mint. Each bite easily lived up to the the decadence displayed in the included image. We absolutely have to find our way back to Mila to try their Lunch/Dinner menu as it includes some amazing sounding options such as, Feta Stuffed Date - date, feta, pistachio, olive oil, maldon salt, ABURI LOX OSHI - carrot lox, aburi sauce, shiso, serrano, 6 pieces, Tuna Crispy Rice - watermelon akami tuna, sushi rice, lime kewpie mayo, green onion, sesame seeds, 3 pieces, and much more. We had quite a few options to choose from regarding where to meet for brunch, with every option sounding wonderful in their own way. Ultimately, we decided on Mila because of their unique, fresh and inspiring sounding dishes and yeah, they did not disappoint. Thanks so much for dropping by and reading this review. Do yourself a favor and extend the same courtesy to Mila by ... dropping by .. and enjoying some amazing tasty food.

I had the Freaky Greeky with a yam-cassava crust. I chose that since the menu board boasted it's vitamin and mineral content. Sold!!!

An added crunch and some true delicious flavor!! The crust, being GF and the specific ingredients, led it to be quite crunchy, but I love crunchy crusts. I hadn't had lunch but a few hours prior so I had half the pizza at dinner, than half before bed after drinks! Yum!!! My husband had the Samsara Sausage pizza. He said it was just okay.

    Wow! First of all, vegan sushi spots are still an uncommon find so the fact this exists is such a…read moretreat. In the Bay Area we have Shizen/Tane and which I can safely say are still pretty different from Vegan Shoku. (Both are so good!!). Vegan Shoku uses konjac-based sashimi which allows for sashimi and nigiri that looks like its conventional fish counterparts. Today, we ordered 1. Salmon Eggplant This reminded me of nasu dengaku but with a "salmon salad" (think tuna salad) on top of charred eggplant. There was a miso sauce, the same that's used for nasu dengaku dressing the entire thing. The eggplant was creamy but not oil-laden, and the salmon worked nicely with the eggplant and miso dressing. Every bite was perfection. Each bite was garnished with fried carrot strings and beet. Sooooo good! 2. Shoku Roll We figured we should definitely order this since it's the restaurant's namesake. Since it was topped with mango & a popping boba, it had a hint of sweetness which was refreshing. 3. Dynamite Roll Absolutely gorgeous roll that packed as much flavor as it did color. The sweet, savory, creamy and crunchy.... this roll takes you on a journey and more! 4. Teriyaki Beef Roll Don't ask questions, just order this! It's like a beef donburi in roll form. 5. Salmon Nigiri I've never been a fan of seafood so this was a bit of a risky pick. Sure enough, it was too realistic for me so I had to hand it off to my bf to finish. For those who love and miss the taste of salmon, this is a must try! 6. Takoyaki While this looked like takoyaki, it definitely wasn't. They were still tasty but they were more like meatballs than anything. Takoyaki is supposed to have chunks of octopus (which when I make it at home, I use konyaku), shredded cabbage, ginger in a savory pancake-like batter cooked in a ball-shaped cast iron mold, topped with aonori, mayo and brown sauce. The meatballs were in a brown sauce of some kind and were incredibly robust and meaty. They were too meaty for my liking (some mock meats sort of gross me out!) but that's more of a preference thing and doesn't speak to the quality. It was very flavorful, it just wasn't for me. 7. Matcha Ice cream The ice cream looked like it was slice from a cake! Maybe they peeled back the paper carton of the ice cream and cut a slice from that. It looked super surgical and clean, like art! The flavor was super robust and matcha-y. It was not the typical (disappointing) green-colored ice cream that tasted mostly of vanilla and had hints of match. This was the real deal! What a rare find! It extremely pricey but it more than made up for all the times I've ordered green-colored matcha imposter ice creams, so get this if you are a matcha lover! Being how uncommon these types of restaurants are, the server was super patient in answering my questions and was helpful in making suggestions too. If I find myself in BC in the future, you can bet I'll be making another stop in here to try other items on their menu. This was such a treat!!

I think there was a bit too much rice used in the sushi. Smaller amounts of rice would have been preferred. Also, we found that the Salmon Avocado Oshi tasted just like the Tuna Avocado Oshi. Either that, or they gave us two identical sushi orders by mistake instead of 1 Salmon Avocado Oshi and 1 Tuna Avocado Oshi. I was kinda bummed that they didn't have their vegan spam that day. Hoping to go back some other day and try it. If it weren't for the vegan spam though, I probably wouldn't bother coming back to this restaurant again. Pains me to say that as I'm usually a huge supporter of plant based restaurants but...this restaurant was really just OK for me. Not horrible, but aside from wanting to try their vegan spam...the food just wasn't good enough for me to want to come back again.

This venue also has quite a large bakery production area. Staff are friendly and professional. I must say I was skeptical as the place was vegan. Tried their flat white, as well as their Nanaimo bar. Both were absolutely delicious. I guess the only downside to the place is that it bakes in the afternoon sun because of all the large W facing windows. Talk about a pleasant surprise. I'd gladly come by again for more coffee and bakery goodness. Highly recommended.

    I've been to this cute little café a few times before but on my recent visit, I finally got to sit…read moredown and enjoy some baked goods. This café features a fully vegan menu which is amazing for vegans and those who can't enjoy dairy comfortably! I was blown away by how the white chocolate strawberry croissant tasted nothing like it was short of eggs. The texture resembles an actual croissant and I would say the only difference lies in the flight drier/stiffer texture. There was a sweet filling inside that paired really well with the croissant, causing me to devour the whole thing in one sitting. Their drinks are standard and can served for here or to go. I love the ambiance and interior of the café. There is ample seating and space. I also love that they have a little section for kids with books and toys to keep them busy. Through the window, you can also see the baking facility that the café uses to prepare all their food. This is a wonderful spot to stop by in the neighbourhood and I'm glad my boyfriend lives close by so I can walk here on many occasions!
