    Looks like the original location is still there but the second location on Yonge has closed. The brother's location on Parliament/Gerrard called Phosome is still there. Ordered the pad thai and it's on the more tart side. Missing umami, could use a but more salt. On the other hand the appetizer: rice roll with mushroom with that fish sauce is perfection, highly recommended. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Large space, too much incense smell so if you're sensitive, be warned.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Friendly staff. Good price, large portions on mains, vegan.

    The meals are surprisingly more expensive than I thought for a place that does not serve meat. I was not expecting many of the dishes to cost at the $15-$20 range. Food items I enjoyed are the tofu-seitan and the BBQ vegan meat. What was disappointing was the Vegan Butter Chicken ($17). The dish contained a lot of potatoes. I would have preferred it to hold a lot more tofu or whatever meat substitute. Even then, all that the dish was was a typical butter chicken dish replacing the actual meal. The curry was nothing special. A service interaction that left a sour taste in my mouth was when I requested a spoon and fork to use for my Vegan Butter Chicken meal. The waitress just motioned that there is already a spoon included in the dish and that there are chopsticks available. I, personally, would have wanted to eat my dish using a spoon and fork compared to eating it with chopsticks. The restaurant should have different utensils available and ready to provide to customers having their personal preferences.

    Awesome vegan Vietnamese food. I was craving ultra healthy food and they were very accommodating. I went with a plate of steamed mixed vegetables and a side of steamed tofu. They also made the summer rolls with steamed instead of fried tofu at our request. The bbq banh mi that my husband ordered was also delicious!

    Great food!!!! Even my parents liked it and they're super grouchy Vietnamese people! Waitresses are also very nice and super attentive as well!

    Lab lunch with a vegetarian in the group so this resto came up as an option. It is a very long restaurant with limited aisle space. Regardless there is ample seating. The decor is really cool with a blue sky ceiling a Buddha in the middle surrounded by some lotus flower, very zen. When viet food is so cantered around meat, it's hard to wrap my head around vegan viet, but I think they did it pretty well! Combo 1 with sweet and sour crispy tofu, caramel tofu-seitan and bbq vegan meat. They all had familiar flavours, but the proteins did make it feel it bit off. Sweet and sour tofu - very different from the traditional Asian sweet and sour sauce. this one is much more vinegary less sweet. The fried tofu was a bit soggy than I would have liked. Would not recommend. Carmel tofu-seitan was good with different textures and flavours, yum! Would recommend a try! BBQ vegan meat was absolutely delicious. Similar texture to meat and it had all the right flavours, very similar to BBQ pork charged well. Would get again!

    This is for their NEW Bloor Yonge location SO HAPPY to have a vegan restaurant in the neighbourhood. Great options, fast service, friendly manager/owner/host, and yummy tasting food. Ambiance is nice with plenty seating.

    Came here yesterday with some friends and got their small egg noodle soup with vegan crab and BBQ meat for $15 before tax and tips. It was so so tasty and flavourful, perfect even on a pretty warm summer day. Service was quite fast.

    Stumbled upon this place looking for lunch before a show at CAA theatre. Lots of gf options and all is vegan. The yam tempura (corn starch coating) salad rolls were delicious. The pad Thai was tasty with 3 different types of tofu and lots of veggies. Hubby thought his combo with eggplant was bland. He found his bubble tea grainy. Service was very good, friendly and quick. Neil took time to check on us frequently and was lovely to chat with. There were a few fruit flies close to the poinsettias so we moved them. Casual place, decent food and great service.

    Great choice for a healthy vegan dinner- they don't use MSG so no headache for me! Food was very filling but also didn't make me feel heavy or bloated. Everything tasted so fresh- the sauce on the pad thai was amazing and the vegan butter chicken was so hearty and thick. There were potatoes in there and I think I tasted pumpkin in the sauce. The naan bread was super good to dip in the butter chicken. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining area is fun to look at- lots of decoration.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The servers were super nice and they were also able to split our check in half. I would come here again!

    I tried the Fresh Salad Rolls ($3.75) and the Spicy Lemon Grass Tofu, Seitan, BBQ Vegan Meat, and Spring Roll Vermicelli Bowl ($16) and was pleasantly surprised! The rolls were fresh and didn't have the funky aftertaste that a lot of these rolls have with rice paper. The vermicelli bowl was a surprisingly large portion (the picture doesn't do it justice), and the meats were well-seasoned but not overly salty. The noodles were fresh, did not clump together, and the "fish sauce" provided was really good--not overly briny or fishy like real fish sauce! The price is pretty good as well!

    As Scooby doo would say, Dee-ricious I usually get the banh mi sandwiches but today I just stopped in for some fresh rolls. Had my favourite the spicy Jicama Service is always kind and friendly and restaurant has a lovely atmosphere

    A lovely vegan Vietnamese restaurant! Location is definitely more hole-in-the-wall feel, and decent service. Prices are also reasonable considering inflation. I got the Golden Curry pho, Combo 1 and Vietnamese coffee. The pho had lots of toppings and was tasty with a more subtle flavour profile. Combo 1 is great for those who like to sample - I especially liked their sweet and sour tofu dish. I highly recommend trying the coffee! It's a sugary drink topped with a more bitter dalgona foam on top. If you want affordable vegan options around Toronto, definitely check this place out!

    Vermicelli Bowl. Deeeeelicious!

This continues the 2025 alphabet series, C is for Cafe Landwer. On Tuesday, 6/3/25, we went to St. Lawrence Market; see my B is for Buster Sea Cove. Seems like we happened to go alphabetical for lunch/brunch as the next day Wed., 6/4/25. This place had good reviews. So, we got on TTC to Osgoode station and was a very close walk. It said established in 1919, so we thought it's a good sign it's been in business over a century; although not this location specifically. Their history in the 20th century was that they started in Berlin, Germany in 1919, but they were a Jewish family who ended up immgrating to Israel in 1933, opening their store there, and expanded locations throughout Israel. Their history in Toronto & North America (including some in the US) is much more recent since opening in 2017. Unfortunately, my closest is New York City; none in Maryland or DC area. This location is in busy downtown Toronto. We sat outside on their big patio area as the weather was warm and could enjoy the view of the buildings, people, cars, etc. Server was friendly answering our questions. I ended up getting an egg benedict with salmon in a croissant. It was creative and delicious take on egg benedict. The only issue was it was messy to eat in the croissant, but I didn't care as it was so delicious. My girlfriend got a Belgian waffle with blueberries, whipped cream, etc. It was unique and very good & sweet too as I tried a bite. Overall, this was a 5-star experience with great food, service, & atmosphere.

Service: It was not great. We sat for a while and no one took attention (we were outside and they were busy but no excuse for them -- they should do better). We had folks come in and out and were somewhat nonchalant and not attentive. Food: This was the great part of the experience. - Berries and Granola with Greek Yogurt: My brother in law got this an he devoured it and said it was great. - Farmers Breakfast: My wife got this and she LOVED it. She went back to get their Halwah Latte (which she said was just OK) - Egg white Omlette Skillet: I customized my food and it was good -- for reference I've had better only because the cheese was feta and it was unclear that this was the only option as I don't love feta. Also I'm pretty sure while I asked for egg whites there was normal egg (i.e., eggs). If you order egg white make sure the server hears you. They screwed this up for me. This is why I'm giving it three stars -- I could have made a stink but didn't think it was necessary to do so. All in all -- I'd recommend this spot to folks but don't go there thinking the service will be great.

Alex, one of the owners, introduced himself shortly after we were seated, offering a warm welcome that immediately made us feel at home. The cocktail program is creative, with a thoughtful lineup of drinks, beers, and wines. We tried two cocktails--both delicious, though quite small for the price. A bit of a Toronto theme, it seems. We chose the six-course vegan prix fixe. Each plate was a true piece of art, crafted with precision and intention. You get to experience a range of flavors and techniques, though the dishes lean more toward tasting portions than filling plates. We left a bit hungry, and the pricing felt high for the amount of food. The best way to think of it is as investing in edible art--beautiful, expressive, and memorable, though not necessarily hearty. I'm not sure I'd rush back based on value alone, but I'm genuinely happy to see a vegan restaurant like this thriving. Grateful for the chance to experience it.
