The service and the coffee and the ambiance are always flawless here but changing things on the menu - especially when they were as delicious as the Fish tacos, the Mozzarella Ball appetizer, the wee Arugula salad (no more Parmesan), the Mila sushi roll with hearts of palm, and the Inari topped with caviar - deters me from wanting me to come more often. I hope the people making these decisions to remove people's favorites haven't forgotten that the food is the number 1 reason we keep coming back. Kindest regards, Tamara read more

Our waiter was so kind and helpful - he truly made up for the mediocre food and ambiance. The restaurant is really nothing special and the tables felt just one step up from a fast food joint. We tried the smash burger, the sausage and mushroom pasta, the blue burger and an assortment of all their sushi. It was all okay but nothing that any of us felt that we would return for. We've had much better vegan sushi at other places in the city. I've wanted to try this place for a while and I'm glad I did - but there are just too many options out there to make me want to try it again. read more

One of the benefits of having 100% plant-based restaurants available is that vegans don't have to alter menu items, which can be a pain in the arse. My wife and I enjoyed eating at MILA during a recent visit to Vancouver, and were amazed at the creativity and quality of the food. Having been an omnivore for so long, finding vegan food that both mimics the appearance and texture of animal-based dishes can occasionally be a welcome change. My wife and I had a great experience at MILA and would return if in Vancouver again. The sushi was remarkable for both texture and appearance, but stood out as exceptional for taste. Thank you to MILA for a great dinner experience. read more

MILA is rooted in plant-based food that tastes just as good as it looks. In fact, the experience is quite magical to say the least. You can pick up what looks and tastes to be a salmon oshi, only to remember that it is in fact made of carrot! Suffice to say, vegans, vegetarians, and meat lovers should all find something to rejoice in here. If it's your first time, I highly recommend ordering the sushi - Aburi Lox Oshi ($15), Ocean Roll ($14), and Mila Roll ($14) are all delightful. Yes, the prices may initially seem steep, but the care and attention that goes into transforming carrots and watermelon into salmon and tuna, respectively, is well worth it. Texture- and flavour-wise, it's a hit. The sauces and toppings too are bang-on to give you the full experience of eating its meatier counterparts. For mains, I've only ever had MILA's pasta. The Café de Paris Udon ($20) is a good choice. They did switch up the ingredients this time around, from udon to malfadine and corn to kale, I believe, though both renditions were delicious and served with its signature, creamy sauce with furikake. Finally, to finish off the meal, you must order the Pumpkin Pie ($22, or $9 per slice) if it's on the menu. This seasonal item is sweet and savoury, with bite-sized molasses toffee and notes of nutmeg to enhance the pumpkin flavour. I had this to celebrate my birthday last year and it pushed me over the edge to Team Birthday Pie. Come visit MILA at lunch to avoid a line, or if you've made reservations or are feeling brave for a walk-in, dine in at night for some drinks as well. The ambiance is great, and so is the service. If your experience is anything like mine, you'll "leaf" here very happy with thoughts of giving up meat altogether. read more

I have always been on the lookout for more plant based restaurants and decided to give Mila a try. I came here on my own for lunch and got the Cauliflower Skillet and Aburi Lox Oshi. First things first, the portion sizes were quite small and each dish was $15. Overall the taste and flavour was pretty good but felt that there was a bit too much oil in both dishes. Overall, a good choice for vegans but did find it a bit overpriced. read more

Absolutely amazing. Found out about this place from a blog about the top vegan/vegetarian restaurants in Vancouver, so it made the top of our list when we were planning our vacation. Go there, and order everything that sounds tasty. You won't be disappointed. I'm still thinking about the Dan Dan noodles. read more

You don't have to be vegan to appreciate the food experience at Mila restaurant. I must admit that I was initially sceptical about how much I would enjoy this restaurant as I so often include meat as part of my diet. But I was wrong, and genuinely enjoyed my food. My sister and I came to pick up food for lunch. The restaurant has a polished feel, from the chair line angles that echo in the tile work. The staff at the front of house was attentive and helpful in terms of suggesting some of the most popular menu items and advising against certain items that might not be suitable for takeout (eg ice cream). We ordered the Mila roll, the pistachio cream and sausage tagliatelle, the bulgogi tacos, and the peanut butter pie. The Mila roll was served with the sauce on the side which I appreciated as I'm not a huge fan of wasabi. The roll itself was fresh and tasty. I didn't try the bulgogi taco but my family members who have had it before have raved about them. I thoroughly enjoyed the pistachio cream and sausage tagliatelle. The "sausage" had characteristic fennel flavour and a meaty texture. The pistachio cream and vegan grated cheese added the perfect amount of creaminess and cheesiness to the dish. I in no way felt like I was missing out on meat or cheese in this dish. The peanut butter pie alas melted somewhat during transport so we put it in the fridge to solidify. Even if you are a meat eater, Mila could possibly convince you to occasionally eat and enjoy a plant based meal. I would definitely come back here! read more

Mind Blowing Meal, Ambiance, and Service! We came in for brunch and we happy to find out we could order some of the popular non lunch items as well. Everything was delectable and beautifully plated. Our server was Kai and she was so amazing, kind, and knowledgeable about the menu she helped us pick the best choices. It's a great balance of an elevated experience while still feeling casual. Please go here!! You will leave reminiscing of all the flavors you experience. read more

I know the thought of vegan food can scare off people, but as someone who is not vegan.. this place was TOP TIER. The ambience inside gave me high-end Gastown restaurant vibes, especially with how stunning the bar was and how the space was designed. The food... I'm telling you, you can't even tell anything was "vegan." The aburi oshi tasted close to the real thing because of the vegan mayo. PLEASE get the smashed potatoes. It's so addicting. The Mila roll had heart of palm in it. Who knew a forgotten ingredient like that could make something taste sooo good!! Please go check it out, with your vegan friends or with your non vegan friends. I'm definitely going to go back and take my bf there :) read more

Very disappointing experience. The Sakura cocktail tasted awful, floral in all the wrong ways -- it was so bad that I didn't even want to drink it after 2 sips. When I bought this up with the server, he just shrugged and told me that I can get a different drink next time. Wow, is this really what to expect from a higher scale restaurant like this? It took forever for the food we ordered to come out. How does it take over 30 min to make 6 pieces of sushi for one? The coconut curry noodles were awful. It was so salty it was almost inedible. My friend's dandan noodles were so much better. However, the dishes were lukewarm by the time we received them. Makes me wonder if they were just sitting there? Overall, a complete disappointment. I paid over $50 for... bad food, bad drinks, and bad service. read more

Everything from the atmosphere, to the service, presentation of food, prices, and amazing flavours is TOP NOTCH! This place is incredible. We made reservations for Saturday for 5:30 and we were sat and served immediately. Our server, Calen, was so friendly and very efficient. His patience was incredible. We had a toddler with us and he was able to navigate through the menu to help us sort out an appropriate meal. My friend settled on Agedashi Tofu (GF*) (fried tofu, sticky orange ginger sauce), (dry for the kid), Dan Dan Noodles (spicy dan dan sauce, farro, gai lan, peanuts) with sauce on the side, and Mushroom + Sausage Tagliatelle (GF OPT +3) (pistachio pesto cream, parmesan, garlic bread wedge - no bread to make it GF). Food was so well presented. Service sizes are perfect. The dan dan sauce was spicy and INCREDIBLE! My pasta was really good and full of mushrooms as well. I wish I got the Romesco Vodka Pasta but I am so looking forward to returning! We also ordered Peanut Butter Cup Pie (GF) (puffed crisps, chocolate ganache, maldon) and it was hella good! Perfection. We also ordered their house wine (Indigenous World Winery Red Blend ) which complimented the meal perfectly! Definitely coming back! read more

I ordered for delivery so I can't comment on the actual restaurant. I was excited to try this restaurant because a lot of people mentioned how amazing it is. But I was quite reluctant because it is more on the pricey side, and I always find it a little odd to pay for vegetarian food more than or as much as I would pay for meat or seafood. After trying the food, I stand by this. Good food, but too expensive for what it is IMO. I tried the mushroom and sausage tagliatelle. It was a big filling portion and it felt like I had meat. Really hit the spot! Desert - I tried the peanut butter cup pie. I shared this with a friend and one slice was way too much for the both of us. It's really good as if you're having Reese's peanut butter cups but it also got to be way too rich and too much. I must say that it looks beautiful though with the gold and some crunchy bits. read more

MILA is right beside Bao Bei, formerly Juniper. MILA was very busy the night we visited. We had reservations, but we weren't seated at a nice spot. Our server was nice and I didn't mind waiting a little longer as they were pretty busy. I ordered Aburi sushi and the tagliatelle. They used carrots as fish, which I thought was fantastic!! It tasted really good with the melting cheese atop. It made me chuckle in my head when I tasted the carrot as I thought in my head- Omg, that is so vegan! Haha. The Pesto Tagliatelle was amazing. Even the bread. I am not really into crunchy bread but this was had flavour in it so I ate the whole entire thing. I love pasta in general and this was one great. We loved the Broccolini so much that we ordered two! It was the best thing we had on our first visit. We will come back again to try other dishes. read more

The food is always amazing here, I even had my birthday party here with a bunch of meat eaters and they loved it. The team has really stepped up their service details - anticipating my every need.

Thanks so much! read more

Vegan brunch doesn't get much better than this. We've been wanting to try this place since it opened. We ordered some brunch for take-out around noon and it was ready within 25 minutes. I ordered the tempeh rib hash ($16) and my wife got the breakfast sandwich ($18) -- both were pretty magnificent. Tempeh rib hash: this comes with perfectly roasted potatoes, tempeh, wild mushrooms, tofu scramble, avocado, roast veg, and arugula, with a wonderful sauce. The flavours and textures were just incredible. Very filling. 5/5. Breakfast sandwich: pretty decadent sandwich, with sausage, tofu scramble, cheese, avocado, etc., served with smashed potatoes. Almost too decadent and extremely feeling. Very tasty 4.5/5 Overall, though it's on the pricier side, the quality clearly matches and the portions are generous. Looking forward to returning to try other items on both their brunch and other menus. Highly recommended. read more

Had dinner at MILA while visiting Vancouver. We had a reservation at 8pm but arrived early and they were able to seat us immediately which was nice. The waitstaff was very friendly however we kept having two different waiters come to our table which I found odd, since there seemed to be an internal communication error among the staff as to who was actually assigned to our table. Besides that the food was good, nothing too amazing but if you are in need of some vegan food while in the area it will do the trick. read more

I had been waiting a while to go check out MILA. Was so happy that I decided to go here for my birthday dinner. It did not disappoint. Before I even got to the restaurant I looked at the menu and already had a hard time ordering since everything sounded so good. We finally decided to get the Bao Buns, the Tagliatelle, the Bulgogi tacos and the carrot lox oshi. Everything was AH-MAZING!!!! 10/10 for all the dishes I ordered. The one little thing that bugged me a little was the price for the Oshi, I did find it a little on the pricey side especially cause there's no fish in it. So I don't think that I would order that again. Other than that I can't wait to go back to try more items on their menu. read more

We had an unreal time dining here at MILA. We're not vegan but our vegan friends love it so we decided to come along. The food is unreal, the aburi is excellent. The Dan Dan Noodles, and the pasta is so good too. Those are definitely the top picks for us. The Karaage Bao is also really good. We definitely will be back again, and the service was great. We cannot recommend this place enough especially if you're looking for a full vegan spot. read more

Smash Burger, Chips and Karage Bao are all wows. Their dbl veggie patty has easily become my go-to veggie burger! A suggestion would be to allow modifications on Door Dash, ie: no pickles, no tomatoes - it saves both the produce waste and allows for omission preferences (like pickle juice seeping into the patty). The Chips are incredible. They are fried to crispy perfection with miso garlic butter. Damn! The Dan Dan Noodles look and smell delicious but were too spicy for my palate. To be fair, spicy is in the description - so that's on me. The Artichoke Mafalda Pasta and the Fish Tacos were so so. Something I wish that plant-based places did was to not describe items with animal names. Fish Tacos makes me immediately think of fish. Bottom line - this is one of my favourite plant-based places and now that I know what menu items I most enjoy I'll probably be ordering from them every other week! read more

Mila - Drinks. - Vegan Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I was too excited when I caught word of a new vegan place that served not only usual burgers, wraps and buddha bowls! On my first visit, I tried the Salmon Lox Oshi, bao buns, and sausage pesto tagliatelle. The salmon oshi looks exactly like a Miku style salmon oshi, and it pretty well tastes identical except for the fact that a slice of carrot replaces the usual torched salmon. The bao buns contain a thick serving of tempeh that is surprisingly tender and picks up the flavors of the two sauces used in the bun. The pesto tagliatelle was yummy and you just about forget that the sausage is plant-based. Overall, the dishes have no flaws, but they are not particularly novel or mind blowing. Their cocktails menu looks awesome, as well. Still, the meal ends up being rather pricey for casual dining, roughly $60 after tax and tip for 2 appies and a main without any drinks. Cocktails are about $15 a piece. You also need to make a reservation well in advance, even for a party of two, and especially on a weekend. read more

We had: -Aburi Lox: ABSOLUTE MUST-TRY! I was initially super skeptical about getting this because I'm a massive fan of regular, salmon aburi sushi, and didn't quite understand the point of getting a 15$ plate of aburi sushi if it didn't have salmon in it (12$ for salmon aburi at Green Leaf). However, THE FLAVOUR of the aburi sauce was absolutely spectacular. I thoroughly enjoyed it. All the flavours blended seamlessly together, the rice to carrot lox ratio was perfect and it was delicious. I could eat 15 of these. -Bulgogi tacos: there were also good. Super juicy. A good amount of filling on in them. -Mushroom + Sausage Tagliatelle: this was also quite good. Very creamy, the sausage added the element of saltiness that the pasta needed. -Swedish Kofta + Mash: the mash and the broccolini absolutely slapped (this is a good thing). I personally wasn't a big fan of the seasoning in the "meatball" part (sort of like a curry-ish flavour, can't really put my finger on the spice), but my friends thoroughly enjoyed it, more so than the pasta even. -Apple tart: it was tiny and the crust was dry/sandy. Flavour was ok, don't think I would get again, wish it was served w ice cream or something to help the crust -Peanut Butter Cup Pie: OMG SO CREAMY!! Very yummy!!! Not too sweet!! Would definitely recommend trying this place read more

Wasn't sure if I'd enjoy a plant-based restaurant, but this is the best vegan food I've ever had. I was very impressed with the creativity and quality of food. The aburi lox oshi was delicious and I couldn't even tell there wasn't any fish in it! The Swedish kofta & mash was good, but I would recommend the mushroom & sausage tagliatelle in a pistachio pesto cream. It was so creamy and each bite was so satisfying. read more

I've ordered from Mila a few times before on UberEats and I was beyond impressed each time. I got to go in person today and still does not disappoint! First things first, I am not a vegan but I love trying plant based foods! The first time I ordered the Aburi Lox Oshi Sushi I was blown away as I truly could not tell the difference and the texture felt so close to the actual thing. Today I ordered the Bento Lunch which came with the Kuri Curry Soup, Yam Tempura, and a choice of a half sushi roll of the Aburi Lox Oshi or the Mila Roll (and of course I went for the Aburi Lox since it's got such amazing flavour). It only came to $12! It was definitely enough to feed me but I definitely could have eaten more if I wanted to. I also got the Isla Nublar cocktail which is dangerous since I'm obsessed with it now and the Sakura cocktail which has an edible flower in it! Super cute! My friend ordered the fish n chips and she has been a vegetarian for a loooong time and said that it was awesome! We are definitely coming back here again! read more

A fully plant based place that was on top of my list before even booking a flight to Vancouver I chose the Karaage Bao Tofu karaage, hot honey mustard slaw, kewpie mayo (too much mayo!) japanese pickled cucumber Their Instagram page shows all the different dishes which is great I was here the first time the last weekend and I will definitely come back to try the other options location wise it's in Chinatown so it was a bit dodgy waiting in the evening for the bus The service is great - how come everyone is so friendly here ? (in Germany you would never do small talk with the staff in a restaurant) so I do very appreciate this I'm in love with Bao Buns and I do them back home as well The Tofu was so crispy ~ never had something that crispy like schnitzel-like-texture before highly recommended also the salad in the Bao is very good, only I'm not a big fan of Mayo so maybe next time I ask for one without that Price-wise Mila is more on the expensive side, but you will get what you pay for at the other table they had some amazing looking sushi and you can also watch them freshly prepare the Sushi while seating options are nice There are so many things to try! Four stars because of the price and location and the mayo in the Bao bun (overpowered) read more

I hate to post a negative review but I feel like it is very deserving in this case. SERVICE: I came at the start of Sunday brunch amd asked the waitress if I could get a half stack of the pancakes (because I was also getting the omelette). I feel like this is not an unusual request and she could have simply said no, but she responded back with some attitude of disdain and begrudgingly said yes. Later, I overheard her and the kitchen staff ridiculing me about my request, and it occurred to me that she must've forgot that she had seated me in the cheap seats right by the kitchen. Either that or she knowingly made such comments. FOOD: I got the peach and onion omelette and the tiramisu pancakes. The omelette was pretty dry and flavorless, and the pancakes were average. They also came with very little toppings, leaving me to scrape at the plate for chocolate and berry sauce for something to accompany the second pancake. OVERALL: I left with a very bad impression and would not recommend this place, especially to a solo individual dining alone. read more
