Extremely large portions. Friendly service. Just wish the dishes were a tad saltier! Will be visiting this place again next time I'm in town.

Very delicious food, affordable prices. This is a nice vegetarian restaurant in the middle of Kendington market. Very efficient and friendly service. We always have great experience there, definitely recommended.

Pad Thai
Fahim L.

I visited Greens Vegetarian Restaurant. I got the Pad Thai which came with mock beef. The mock beef was almost indistinguishable from beef. It tasted almost exactly like gyro meat. The Pad Thai was absolutely amazing and fresh. The service was quite quick and excellent. The restaurant is a nice, small, intimate environment. My experience here has been great and I highly recommend ordering the Pad Thai here! Update: Recently, they have reduced the quantity of mock beef that they provide, so I personally will be asking for extra mock beef if I return and get the Pad Thai, however, overall, the food and the quality is great.

I've always wanted to come here and I've never been able to... for some strange reason on Christmas Day during the evening we found ourselves looking for places that would be open in Chinatown and stumbled upon finding them open!! I'm so glad we finally made the trip because we will definitely be back!! Let me say this place was busy and despite them being that rammed the owners were amazingly nice calm and the service was fantastic. We were seated very quickly and the menus and hot tea were brought over right away. The lady patiently answered all our questions and after walking around we ordered the hot and sour soup the crispy wontons the crispy noodles and mock chicken dish which I can't remember the name of! The wontons were delicious especially with their hot sauce! The soup was perfect and the noodles were the highlight of our meal although the mock chicken dish was all so yummy the thing I missed oddly enough was texture. I wish they had either roasted them or pan-fried them or did something to the mock chicken like most places do so that it would actually hold otherwise it ended up tasting mostly like tofu in the dish. I'm not saying it tasted bad it's just not a texture we are used to most places you go it's usually fried so you get some textured crunch when eating it. You know the owners care about their food and their customers when they actually asked us how come we didn't finish eating the chicken dish and we gave them our feedback. What a wonderful way to ensure that your customers are satisfied and that they will come back I really appreciate when owners take the time to do that!! So if you are in the area and looking for veggie cuisine you don't need to go to a regular Chinese restaurant and pick from a tiny section of the men you definitely give these guys are shot you will be back!

Crispy soya fritters. Nice flavor and great texture!

Came here as a second choice. The place we had hoped to go to just west of this place was closed on Tuesdays. The place looked simple and clean. Staff were friendly. They even turned up the heat for us when it started to feel a bit chilly. Two of us came for dinner and we ordered the following: * Crispy soya fritters - first time having these. They were tasty & had a great texture. Almost like biting into popcorn chicken. I would order it again. * Assorted gluten and being curd - nice plate to order if you want a variety of things. However, I found it wasn't that great. The taste was on the bland side & the mock duck wasn't as good as other places I've been. Don't think I'll order this again. * Mock chicken fried rice with cashew nuts - nice flavoring, not greasy or oily and lots of cashews. Yum! * sweet-and-sour mock chicken - very generous portion. Flavorful but I would have like just a little less batter around the mock chicken. All in all, we had a good evening.

You have to wait long time , I have order from 9:30 I wait in the restaurant like more than 40 minutes

Deep-fried taro fish is pretty cute. Never knew taro fish existed.

Spacious restaurant with a good amount of seating. Came around 1:30 for lunch on a Saturday and it was empty, but it's kind of out of the way from Chinatown as well. Interior is maintained and looks clean and tidy. Washrooms are also clean. Menu offers a good selection of vegetarian options. It's not too different from a typical Chinese restaurant menu, perhaps with a few different ingredients in some of the dishes. Portions are pretty big. Consider splitting dishes with others if going in a group. If you're looking for a vegan place and don't want to spend too much, this is probably one of the more affordable options compared to other places I've seen.

I don't expect much from most of the restaurant in Chinatown area but Greens Vegetarian Restaurant is definitely a nice surprise. Clean, nicely decorated, spacious and even a clean washroom!!! I really enjoyed most of the food we ordered and shared but I love carb and veggie than meat. Hot and Sour Soup ($6.99) - has a lot of ingredients and a nice balance of hot and sour Spring Roll Platter ($5.99) - love mango and rice paper roll Eggplant with Tofu in Black Bean Sauce ($7.99) - love eggplant and the nice sauce Deep Fried Mock Chicken in Lemon Sauce ($7.99) - meh Sweet and Sour Mock Chicken ($8.99) - love sweet and sour sauce and the batter is light and crispy! Spicy Ma Po Tofu ($7.99) - really bland tasting and too watery Singapore Style Vermicelli ($5.99) and Fried Rice Noodle with Mock Beef ($5.99) - surprisingly tasty and with fresh of the wok flavour Assorted Vegetables Dish ($7.99) - good and healthy choice! Service here has a nice family vibe, though a little slow. I will be back to Greens Vegetarian for some well prepared Chinese food. I might just skipped those mock meat and opt for the fresh ingredients!

I had an amazing experience here! It is hard to find vegan Chinese food dt Toronto and we were pleasantly surprised to come across this gem. We were in Chinatown when go started craving Chinese food and found this place. The place looks modest, but the food was great, the price were more than fair and the portions were huge! The staff was very nice and accommodating, which made our experience even more enjoyable! The curry is an absolute MUST HAVE Highly recommend this place

Kung Bao Chicken.
Shannon M.

Ordered the Buddha Crispy noodles with mixed vegetables and the Kung bao "chicken". The sauce on the Kung bao was so thick it looked like slime, and the pieces of tofu were bland and tasted completely unseasoned. I also had what I will assume was the stalk of a piece of asparagus in my dish and not sure why since it didn't seem that there was any asparagus in my dish. The crispy noodles with mixed vegetables had literally 2 pieces of (tofu) protein in them. The only reason I'm giving this 2 stars is because the spring rolls, while expensive and slightly burnt, were large and tasty. Will not return when back in Toronto. I will say that we ordered our items TO GO, as it seems, based on other reviews here that they have a serious problem with those type of orders specifically in both taste and portion sizes compared to in the restaurant.

Greens is my new favourite vegetarian Chinese restaurant. They used to be Full Moon Vegetarian but they changed owners and renovated last year and it's been a huge improvement! They serve a lot of 'traditional' chinese food dishes that you might get at meat-serving Chinese restaurants such as sweet 'n sour chicken balls. I never really ate meat so this has given me a chance to try these dishes. The best dish on the menu is far and away the Lemon Chicken(order with a side of rice). The sweet lemon sauce is so good on the crispy fried batter. If you get a soup, expect it to be huge. A medium is only $3.99, which is crazy ridiculous cheap. Pretty much everything is very affordable and the portions size are really good. It's a great place for groups too. I once had 30 people here for a dinner and sharing dishes was great and very affordable. I shared with about 7 people sitting near me and we had each ordered a dish, plus a soup and the total came to $11 with tax and tip per person. If you haven't tried Greens, give it a shot.

I tried the Trippy Truffle (cauliflower crust pizza with garlic aioli, roasted red peppers, sundried tomatoes, baby arugula, and portobello mushrooms, topped with a drizzle of truffle oil) - and it was amazing!

The storefront is in a underground food court in Torontos' financial district. It's quite clean, small, but efficient. I ordered the 3 piece vegan wings (everything here is plant based FYI) and an Asian Fusion bowl. The employee taking my order was very friendly and quick. Got my number to wait for and within 5 minutes I was on my way. Good service. However my first thing I tried after I got back to my hotel I ate the wings. Holy sodium. Almost like eating straight salt. The wings were way too salty even before dipping them in the Frank's wing sauce. Almost inedible salty for me. Minus two stars for that. The Asian Fusion bowl wasn't as salty, but still pretty strong bit of sodium. The veggies were tasty, my protein choice which was tempeh which was cooked and seasoned well. Overall not bad, but maybe let natural flavors come out in the food instead of turning towards tons of salt.

I've heard some conflicting reviews about this well-known vegan restaurant, but I'm quite…read moreimpressed! I feel that the price point is actually very reasonable given the portions and quality of ingredients. A disclaimer that I've only tried their noodle dishes and not the sushi (I do like my seafood haha), but these are fantastic - rich in flavour without being overwhelmed with salt and sugar (the typical fallbacks for vegan food). Highly recommend the truffle fried rice and the Singapore noodles! The fact that the food seems to be relatively healthy (at least psychologically...) is of course a plus as well. The interior is fairly upscale, the dim lighting and elegant decor contributing to a muted but lovely ambiance. I do love a place that allows you to have a conversation at normal volumes! Service is always excellent without fail, the staff is helpful but not overbearing. A must for anyone who's vegan, vegan-curious, or simply searching for some great food in beautiful surroundings!

It has a clean, almost cafeteria feel which doesn't do a lot for the experience but at least provides confidence in the food quality. Service is friendly and professional, however it doesn't offer table ordering so you order at the counter and the food to your table. They advertise "Wheatless and Meatless" so as well a gluten free baked goods they offer many alternatives to popular brunch staples like bacon and eggs. I had the Breakfast Bowl, a beautiful medley of guacamole, pico de gallo, sweet potato, roasted mushroom, organic kale, black beans and tofu eggs. It was delicious. Have to admit, not exactly sunny side up eggs over a couple of slices of bacon, but it did taste great and I actually felt good afterwards. My daughter had the avocado toast which was served on a seed and oat toast. Spectacular dish, really tasty and gorgeous! I'm a black tea drinker and an added bonus is that they serve one of the best I've had (other than in my own kitchen). Will definitely be back, and they cater so next time you need to serve a lot of vegetarian celiacs you'll know who to call!

They had so many variations of these bowls and lots of vegan and vegetarian options to choose from. The service via Uber Eats was quick and had no issues with that. When it came to the food, I was certainly underwhelming. I was not a fan of the Smoky Chipotle bowl and had thought I would love it based on the ingredients in the bowl. I found it lacked flavour and was just completely bland. The sauces had a weird aftertaste and I just did not enjoy the bowl overall. I hope the rest of their bowls are good and I just got a one off not pleasant one. I don't think I would be ordering again from this place. 5/10 recommend!

It's awesome for anyone who's tracking their intake or just appreciates getting a perfectly balanced meal. Beyond the great food, the staff was super friendly and genuinely helpful. The prices are totally fair for the quality you get. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area and looking for a quick, healthy bite.

We made a reservation (highly recommended) which they were able to pull up since we got there 30 minutes early and starving. The entire restaurant had a beautiful, high end vibe without prices being too high for its own good. We started off with their delicious Bang Bang Broccoli and Kimchi Chick'n Baus, both of which I'd easily come back for more if this was a buffet line. The bang bang sauce was absolutely sensational and we dipped our tasty baos in it afterwards. For our mains, we divided up their Volcano Roll, Kelp Caesar Salad, and a Hawaiian Pizza. The roll was alright (I've had better at vegan sushi restaurants) but the salad and pizza were both extraordinary. In particular, the salad sent me and was a complete flavor and texture bomb. Highly recommend everyone getting this to share as it was an absolute standout. As much as we wanted room for dessert, our hunger was just too much from not eating all day. Everything here definitely hit the spot and would definitely return again the next time I'm in Toronto.
