FOOD - Eggplant & Beancurd ($10.50): how does one describe how the this dish's namesake is amazing with Napa cabbage, a boiled egg, all on a bed of rice? Points for portion, taste, and price! - Vegetarian BBQ Pork Rice ($11.75): if there was a bento box that was healthy yet tasty, this may be it! From the rolls, Napa cabbage "salad", boiled egg, and the generous portion of imitation BBQ pork on rice - each compartment is a treat! === 3. SERVICE For a food stall in a food court, the service was good in English, and I heard it going well in Mandarin also. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's the Parker Place food court, so it's as good as you are comfortable with it. Despite the closeness of the tables to each other, wheelchairs and baby strollers will fit. Parking is as good as your luck in the constantly-busy shopping complex lot.

The menu was great, lots of items you can order pizza, pasta, and Indian! I got a few dishes, and I was happy with them all. I really enjoyed the veggie burger, and the tandoori paneer plate & the cauliflower wings. Everything was flavourful, and felt healthy, I didnt feel gross after eating this food (most places in surrey you feel like there is MSG and feel not good after eating it) but I felt leaving good! The place was busy when I came in and the staff was very nice and attentive Overall it is very clean, and there is absolutely no meat or eggs there. I will certainly be back to try other items on the menu!

My boyfriend and I were planning on watching a movie at the nearby Strawberry Hills Cineplex. After…read morea search of restaurants in the area, we found this one. A vegetarian bistro and we had just been talking about trying more vegetarian dishes? Why not? As the name suggests, it is small and quaint, buried in a strip mall and one of those "blink and you'll miss it" places. The decor reminded me of a contemporary restaurant where everything is chosen based on their ease of ability to be cleaned (and for the record, the place was clean), with enough seats to sit about 15 people, and I may be rounding up. We were the second table to enter and we were greeted promptly and given the menus. Perhaps I was misled by the restaurant name and did not really know what to make of the meat dishes that I saw: Beef burger? Chicken Nuggets and Fries? Crispy Chicken Burger? I saw nothing to indicate they were the vegetarian version of chicken nuggets or beef burgers, and about 2/3 of the menu was vegetarian or vegan options, so I surmised they must have put a few meat options there to satisfy any meat eaters that wander through the door. I settled on the Spaghetti with Veggie Balls and the boyfriend ordered the Veggie Curry. The pasta was quite filling (included garlic bread) and I discovered the veggie balls and/or sauce was a tad above my spiciness tolerance level, and was even spicier than the Veggie Curry. In hindsight, I wasn't surprised: it is my personal experience that a lot of the times a vegetarian dish will have a lot of spices added in. Chalk it up to not reading the ingredients carefully and thinking things through. In terms of service, I thought it was great. Water glasses were filled regularly, the waitress checked up on us to ask how we were enjoying the food. I would be very interested in coming back and trying other items on the menu!

This is a review just for their soup and salad combo…read more I was doing a yelp search looking for soup and salad because my husband and I just wanted something light and healthy. Enter Rebar. I can't speak for the other stuff on the menu and to be honest I'm not a huge fan of vegan food, but I think we lucked out and the soup of the day was a creamy smoked fish type of chowder and it was SOOOO GOOD. Next time I'll make sure to call in to see when they serve this chowder again!!! Also... the salad. Fresh ingredients and they were so accommodating to sub beets with sprouts since my husband can't have beets . Their dressings are made in house I believe and it tastes so good - especially the creamy sesame one and also the ginger honey dressing! To die for!!!! Totally a game changer when added to the salad. And finally the yummy crispy, buttery garlic toast pieces that come with the soup and salad is just heavenly... I am salivating just thinking about it. Prices were extremely fair! Please don't increase the price - it's just right!!! I'd come Back in a heartbeat for the soup and salad. Few improvements could Be: slow service and sticky floors. So that's for the one star knockoff otherwise it would've been 5 stars for sure!!! Portions were generous!!!!

The place is also a bit out of the way, but very worth it to come just for the food. (Which is s-p-i-c-y!) Very glad we came here. Highly recommend!

We also enjoyed the salty lassi and chai. My parents especially loved the chai, it had the perfect blend of cardamom and ginger, making it both aromatic and comforting. We will definitely be back!

We tried a number of dishes including the sweet and sour "pork", tofu wrap, Teochow dumplings, radish cakes, sesame balls and mango pudding. The sesame balls were perhaps the best I have ever had--still warm and toasty on the outside and soft red bean goodness on the inside. Service was very kind and welcoming. The place itself is a cozy spot with around 8-10 tables that can seat 7-8 people and a handful of 2-seater tables. The restaurant opens daily from 12:30 pm-3 pm. Worth adding to any visit to this temple!

The dishes included were: Sichuan-style spicy tofu (not spicy at all), Fried rice, Fried broccoli, Veggie chow mein, and Sweet and sour vegetarian "meat". The first four were very good, but the sweet and sour was exceedingly sweet (par for the course for the dish). The fried rice was a surprising highlight. I wouldn't have chosen this assortment of dishes if it were up to me, but given the selection, everything was made very well. Not at the level of the Buddhist Chinese restaurants in Vancouver (Po Kong and Sun Bo Kong), but very good nonetheless. I'm sure we will return to try out other dishes. Recommended.
