This is a second location for the Cardamom Pod, a vegetarian (apparently vegan) brunch place (the…read morefirst is south of here at Broadbeach). The location itself I'm not a huge fan of. It's not close to the beach or on the tram line, so it wasn't the easiest thing to get to. Moreover, because it took a while to reach, I arrived just after their breakfast had ended and their lunch started. Looking at the breakfast menu, this was a tad disappointing. That being said, the crunchy tofu rolls I ended up were ethnically indiscernible but tasty, combining a Vietnamese presentation with a very Indian-ish dipping sauce and some marinated mango. They were amply spicy and sweet, and with avocado accompanying the tofu, reasonably filling. Their menu on the whole is quite lavish (and expensive). And yet, despite being a pricey pure plant-based restaurant at a non-ideal location, it was kind of busy. Gold Coast, man, I'm telling you. Most parts of the world, there aren't too many fancy vegetarian restaurants and the ones that exist sometimes struggle, but I just can't stop running into them here, and they're doing fine. I imagine I'll be back for some of their chickpea flour breakfast dishes sometime.

Decided to give this place a second chance after trying it during the COVID pandemic when they were…read moreonly doing take away, their food was not to their usual standard. Sorely disappointed with the service this time and didn't even get a chance to eat. From the time of ordering to leaving waited over an hour. Full story is we didn't have an appointment but me and my friend wanted to see if they had seats anyway. There were two tables opening up but the hostess told us to wait and gave us some attitude about it. We shrugged it off and waited about 10min for the table that was just empty the entire ten minutes. When we sat down we looked over the menu and then ordered about 5 min later with the same hostess lady. She unkindly told us that the gnocchi was sold out which is fine but she still had an attitude about it. Then after ordering we waited about an hour and saw people who had come order ate and left. We had been chatting and had ordered a big meal so thought maybe our food took longer to prepare but after an hour we were hungry and impatient and asked the hostess about an update and she said "what food" and we reminded her that she took our order and she just said "omg I forgot" she had not put the order in. In the hour she had not checked on our table even tho by this time half the restaurant tables were empty they weren't that busy. Terrible service. The food however does look and smell amazing from the tables next to us.

This seems a new addition to the Nundah scene, and they're big on all your organic, vegan delights,…read moreif that's your thing. They even have a grocery store right next door. The interior is pretty spartan. You most definitely wouldn't come here for the decor unless 'prison cell' is your thing, but hey, we were here for the food, not the scenery. I ordered the beef burger, which came with a side of sweet potato chips. Burger was actually quite tasty. Chips... well I don't like sweet potato, but if they had been a little more crunchy then I think they'd have worked for me. I followed up with a vegan dessert thingo, a mint slice. It was quite nice! Washed down with a smoothie which was probably the best part of the meal. Anyhow, would I come here again? Probably not. You're paying far more than you should be just for that 'organic' word, and there's just so many choices in Nundah these days. That said, if organic is your bag, go nuts. So long as their organic, free range nuts.

Absolutely disgusted with the lack of service at this cafe that I often frequent. I took my elderly…read moremother here for lunch today as she is visiting the area. I think they forgot our tart as we waited such a long time and I had to ask after it. It then appeared immediately but was literally freezing cold in the middle. We already had to leave for school pickup so I gave them my feedback and asked for a refund as we hadn't eaten. Well we waited again for the manager and she questioned everything we said and was very snarky and rude about it. Eventually she capitulated but only when I started to get upset. Will never go back. So disappointed. I will still shop in the grocery store and garden shop but am absolutely appalled at the manager of the cafe. Shame on you. I worked in hospitality for 20 years, you don't know the meaning of the word.

The new train line has opened, and this place which was once a massive pain to get to by transit is…read morenow walkable from a train station, so it seems like a good time to update the review. Logistics aside, I've been consistently intrigued. Malaysian cuisine is not a thing where I'm from. The basic elements are what you'd expect from any vegetarian Asian cuisine: noodles, rice, saltiness, soy products, etc. However, there is something slightly different; perhaps most notably when I ended up with some fried "chicken" product and watermelon juice and thought in my head that I might be eating comfort food from the American South. Among the many options I've sampled all have been palatable, and I'm still waiting to get around to the more recognizable names like nasi goreng and laksa. I've ordered differently every time, and if I were to repeat an order it would probably be for the roti chenai, a curry with fried bread that was much more delicious than the ones I've tried elsewhere. You can't go wrong with the noodle dishes either. It isn't the cheapest, but things are cooked fresh to order, and they're worth ordering. They also offer super cheap loose leaf teas. The worst that can be said of them is that once I came and they had closed during the slow hours on a weekday afternoon (inconsistently with their posted schedule), which in my experience is unthinkable for an American business, but not uncommon by looser Australian standards. Otherwise, the service and food have been on point, and I'm quite happy to have found them. I suspect vegetarian Malaysian will be a new thing for most diners as it has been for me, but I would suggest trying it.

Absolutely loved, Loving Hut! I cannot believe it took me this long to discover this place. Every…read morefew reviews I read were from omnivores, so it's a place for everyone, even being a completely vegan restaurant. The food was great! Menu is a great size, plenty to choose from. I ordered (so much), the B.B.Q Buns, Northern Pan Bread, Sweet & Sour Nuggets, Chocolate Mud Cake, Chocolate Soy Milk Frappe. Two highlight items for me were the Sweet & Sour Nuggets and Choc Frappe - so good! Coconut cream on top. I could pass on B.B.Q buns, but not bad! The menu has soo much to choose from, can't wait to discover more favourites! P.s. The atmosphere is very casual. Overall, a HUGE shoutout to Loving Hut, it's so nice having peace of mind that everything is vegan and can choose any option on the menu. Check out the meaty texture in the picture, WOW. Can't wait for the next visit!

Basically it is a pub, but it is full of all types of video games, and not only that but they also have a pretty decent selection of board games as well.

Okay, it isn't open all that long, namely near the weekends, and in the evenings, but it is still a pretty awesome pub.

Part cafe, part supermarket, all amazing. I had no idea of this vegan / vegetarian / health food…read morewonderland existed on the north side but here, on busy Wardell Street between a spray tan shop and a church exists a shop where you can find all the faux meats, gluten free, dairy free, vegan cheese, and coconut milk ice-cream you could want. Half the fun of visiting is wandering the small but well stocked aisles to look at what products are there. For example, the toothbrushes made from recycled yoghurt containers I carried home from Wholefoods in the US - stocked here. Plus, the owners have branched out into a humble but delicious cafe where you can enjoy eats like the mushroom and mango salsa burger (DELICIOUS) or a sweet treat (like chocolate ganache cheesecake - totally vegan) from the cake cabinet. The coffee, Sacred Grounds, is organic fair trade and not like any blend I've tasted. Plus for those of us that can't handle too much lactose, I'm 99% sure my flat white was made on soy or almond milk which gave it an interestingly pleasant taste and yet no after effects of too much milk.

They have wine glasses and canisters to hold the bottle of wine. I had the money purse as an appetizer, and prawn coconut curry as my main dish. The money purse order comes with 4 and a side of sweet chili sauce! The little fried delicacies were very tasty! The coconut curry was awesome- I got to choose my level of 'hotness'. I ordered the dish medium heat, and also a side of jasmine rice (this is a la carte, and will set you back $3 for a small size; -1 star for having to pay extra for rice). The curry was really good and even had bits of coconut in it! I will definitely be back to try other dishes!

Not sure if I ever posted a review of my last Thai restaurant experience. It was out in the 'burbs…read moreof Melbourne and it did not go well. So my wife was keen to have a Thai meal for her birthday recently but there were a range of factors making it difficult for us to travel closer to town for one of the well knowns: soccer practice, me working late etc etc. But our neighbors had tried a Thai less than a mile (and walking distance) from home. What could go wrong? (Remembering my most recent experience gave me chills) Turns out, a young Thai couple have set up in the ruins of an old coffee shop nearby and the night was a great experience! Luckily we had phoned to see if they would be open after training as she said we needed to book. On arrival at 7:30, only one of the eight tables was set with cutlery... But over the next hour or so the tables filled and people arrived to collect their take away. One chef, great fresh, timely delivered food and a free dish for my wife's birthday! Not only that, the hostess then brought out a complimentary deep fried ice cream with sparkler to celebrate! If you've read my reviews, I'm pretty reluctant to give out five stars, but I'm making an exception this time for a new family run business, out in the Brisbane 'burbs who are doing it right.
