The menu spans from fried chicken sandwiches, to poutine, to traditional Indian street food, and a case full of cakes, many of which are vegan.

Some of the best vegan chicken I've ever had, in addition to a crazy portion of vegan butter chicken poutine. You can really tell everything is made with love and care. Highly recommend.

Vegan and Gluten free desserts available and I was impressed that they started an Indian chaat house menu over 6 months ago. My friend said vegan chicken burger here was amazing so I was enticed to try and yes, her review was solid~! Their chicken and crepe won me over and I really loved the fresh strawberries crepe when I dined in. Service here was friendly and the ambiance is simple and clean with a couple free board/table games to play. It's a decent size with about 3 tables for 4 with couple tables for 2 plus window bar seats. I would definitely return and hope to try more of their vegan and gluten free dessert next time paired with their Indian chaat house items plus a nice cup of Indian masala tea.

Fun fauxtail drink alternatives for those who prefer non-alcoholic. For 4, we were about a 60% on the hunger scale and got these dishes to enjoy: * Hummus + Pita, * Fried Haloumi - Surprising and fun flavour combo. Enjoyed the sweetness of walnut and apple charoset and it tasted strongly of browned butter which was lovely. * Lamb Meatballs - Loved I'm a big fan of mint + lamb. If only there were more :') * Fried Chicken - The slightest bit salty on the sauce that settled at the bottom but juicy tasty chicken. * Seared Ahi Tuna - Heavy punch of smokiness and char from the baba ganoush which I was not prepare for but was pleasantly surprised nonetheless! * Crispy Cauliflower - Big fan of cauliflower with some char; it was crisp yet tender to the bite. Delicious. During our 5-day retreat on the Sunshine Coast, our dinner hear was the most unforgettable. Grateful to Lisa, our host (and the owner), for welcoming and slotting us in for a dinner reservation on the day-of. Lucky to experience The Pink House Bistro with the lovely staff running the place with her. We look forward to revisiting in the future, hopefully remaining just as soulful as it was during our visit.

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 had a Plant…read moreCurious BOGO deal too so I was able to use that for a couple of Oshi sushi orders.  The food wasn't bad but honestly not as good as I had hoped. 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.

Healthy food is great and all, but I never felt like spending the extra money. This week I noticed they updated their menu, so I took a chance on the Banh Mi (spelling still questionable, lol). Honestly? It was really good. It didn't taste like "healthy food," but I could tell it was, and I actually felt great afterward. My only critique is the bread. If you don't eat the sandwich pretty quickly, it soaks up the juices and starts to fall apart faster than you'd expect. Not a dealbreaker, just something to know. Overall, solid job. I'm actually excited to try more of the new menu items now.
