Hoi Anh Chicken Rice Plate
Angel K.

This was takeout. Service was quick, attentive and friendly. They offered tea or water when we waited for our food. Food was delicious, it's just as tasty as the real chicken. Clean cozy restaurant.

Eggplant clay pot
Sunny Y.

Food here is South east asian influenced, I was excited to see Laksa on the menu! - Spring rolls 3/5 The outside didn't taste properly cooked, it was all boils and really chewy instead of a crispy flakey easy to bite into roll. - Eggplant clay pot 4/5 This was a favorite for the table, but the sauce does get overpowering half way in. It is quite tasty though, eggplant is cooked well and the faux meat tastes more like bean curd. - Laksa 3.5/5 Grew up non v and eating laksa, and having that experience, this doesn't quite hit the mark for laksa. Granted, a seafood based soup dish is hard to recreate in flavors. Think of this more as a mild curry. Not a huge fake shrimp person, but table did think it was impressively similar. Service: Very sweet people who work here, friendly and inviting. Ambiance: Came for valentines and strangely it wasn't busy, just a few tables were full. Clean, modern. Strangely there was dub step type music playing which was a weird mix with the environment and food. Hope they are popular at other times, definitely awesome to see more creative v places.

Eggplant Claypot

Super delicious food! Would definitely come here again and try all the dishes! We recommend: Lemon-grass tofu, Miso Udon Truffle Carbonara, Eggplant Claypot. Waitress was very nice and open!

I was pleased with my visit to The Hestia. All the dishes had great flavors and decent portion sizes. I honestly couldn't tell the difference with the vegan meat, and it was super tender and yummy. The crispy summer roll and papaya salad were my favorite dishes, they both had great levels of crunch and paired perfect with the sauces . Loved the super fun presentation of the storm noodles. The dan dan noodles tasted amazing except I noticed there was a small piece of plastic in there after biting in (it felt like a bone but I remembered it was vegan meat so upon inspection that's when I noticed). I also appreciate how our server was very attentive and patient, even though she was busy attending all the other tables at the same time.

Salad rolls

10/10 amazing food and it's vegan I will be coming back as often as I can I want to try everything also only took a picture of one of the items it was so good I forgot to take photos of the rest lol

The BEST vegetarian food I've had in a long time. The mock peking duck is CRAZY. If you're even slightly curious you should get it. Overall, every dish I was able to try left me with a smile!!

Shake fries with truffle, veggie spring roll, laksa curry alll VEGAN.

I have been searching for food that speaks the language of my gut...and that's as meaty as I'll get haha the warmth and happy welcome to this earthy restaurant is a delight. My heart is happy to see such flavours of dishes I used to eat along the drive. My health has transpired to be more of a lifestyle no diets on this menu full flavour tasty options my eyes are in heaven to see such delicious dishes Thank you, to The Hestia Veggie!! I'll be back for brunch, lunch, dinner!!

Coffee Cheesecake
Dana S.

I'm glad I got the chance to try this place! We made a reservation (at least, I think we made a reservation since I never received a confirmation), but it wasn't necessary as the restaurant didn't get too busy. Decor was minimal but comfortable and the soft music playing in the background was relaxing. The two servers got mixed up and brought one of us the wrong entrees, but they were nice and chill about replacing it. I ordered a lychee iced tea, eggplant claypot, and cheesecake. The lychee iced tea wasn't a super sweet drink, it was a smooth black tea with subtle lychee flavour and pieces of lychee fruit. Nice and refreshing. The eggplant claypot was really god - the "vegan meat" (probably made from soy protein) was crisp and tender, and soaked up the delicious sauce so that every bite was a mouthful of flavour. The menu description definitely doesn't do this justice. The friend I was with ordered the caramelized tofu claypot. I had a taste of the tofu and it was also delicious, and my friend sad he really enjoyed it. Both claypot dishes came out sizzling. Mine came out a few minutes before my friend's, possibly because that was the one they had to redo, but it was still hot by the time his came out. Finally, the cheesecake was a nice way to finish. It was very dense and the bittersweet coffee flavour was perfectly balanced. The portions are pretty filling so that value is good, especially for a meal downtown. I would love to come back to explore more of the menu since I'm always happy to support good vegetarian businesses and their dishes all sound interesting!

Fantastic and friendly service. Amazing food. Good prices. Would definitely be back. Very clean too.

Ok ok, what's better than driving to Canada to eat vegan food, I'll tell you .. driving to Canada to eat vegan food while meeting new vegan friends! We decided to meet up at Mila Plant-Based, 100% vegan restaurant in the downtown area sort of right in-between Downtown Eastside, Science World, and Gastown. The restaurant has a lovely, quaint ambiance, feels very welcoming upon entering. The bathroom was .. well, posh! I don't normally make a point to comment on bathroom decor, while average in size, I felt like I was being upgraded to First Class lol. Ok, moving right along .. lol They have two menus, a Weekend Brunch Menu and, for all other hours, a Lunch/Dinner Menu, ..we ordered from the Weekend Brunch Menu. I had the Bibimbap Bowl - rice bowl with Yo Egg, mushroom bacon, kimchi, tempura yam, cucumber, carrot, gochujang sauce. This bowl had many layers of unique flavors all married perfectly in every exquisite bite, I say this very sincerely! My wife ordered the Pina Colada Pancakes - pancakes, toasted coconut syrup, cashews, cocktail cherries, rum-candied pineapple, mint. Each bite easily lived up to the the decadence displayed in the included image. We absolutely have to find our way back to Mila to try their Lunch/Dinner menu as it includes some amazing sounding options such as, Feta Stuffed Date - date, feta, pistachio, olive oil, maldon salt, ABURI LOX OSHI - carrot lox, aburi sauce, shiso, serrano, 6 pieces, Tuna Crispy Rice - watermelon akami tuna, sushi rice, lime kewpie mayo, green onion, sesame seeds, 3 pieces, and much more. We had quite a few options to choose from regarding where to meet for brunch, with every option sounding wonderful in their own way. Ultimately, we decided on Mila because of their unique, fresh and inspiring sounding dishes and yeah, they did not disappoint. Thanks so much for dropping by and reading this review. Do yourself a favor and extend the same courtesy to Mila by ... dropping by .. and enjoying some amazing tasty food.

The restaurant was decorated nicely, but nothing remarkable so I was surprised by the presentation of the food!

What a great place to have vegan pizza!…read more I am amazed with all the flavors and the crust is just the yummiest! I've got their Freaky Greeky pizza. It's a pesto based pizza topped with cashew feta, garlic, tomato, olives and red onion. The pizza is loaded with ingredients, I enjoyed it so much I can't wait to order it again! I highly recommend this place, would choose their pizza any day without thinking twice! Friendly staff and great service.

This is coming from a tourist, not a local…read morebut there were some scary illegal activities happening right next to where our friends parked. So yeah. The pizza us great though. I had the Freaky Greeky with a yam-cassava crust. I chose that since the menu board boasted it's vitamin and mineral content. Sold!!! It had (what I assume was) Daiya Mozzarella and Cashew style feta, black olives, tomatoes, basil and walnuts. I have to say that the walnuts were the most pleasant surprise of the toppings. An added crunch and some true delicious flavor!! The crust, being GF and the specific ingredients, led it to be quite crunchy, but I love crunchy crusts. I hadn't had lunch but a few hours prior so I had half the pizza at dinner, than half before bed after drinks! Yum!!! My husband had the Samsara Sausage pizza. He said it was just okay. He said the sausage tasted like a Light life Hot Dog. Which is obviously NOT what you're going for with sausage. Our friends shared the Buffalo Buddha pizza and gave hubby their last piece. He said that was quite nice and he'd have had that again. They too had the GF Yam-cassava crust. I'd definitely get this pizza again but I would NOT walk here and preferably be in a group for safety.

Vegan and Gluten free desserts available and I was impressed that they started an Indian chaat house menu over 6 months ago. My friend said vegan chicken burger here was amazing so I was enticed to try and yes, her review was solid~! Their chicken and crepe won me over and I really loved the fresh strawberries crepe when I dined in. Service here was friendly and the ambiance is simple and clean with a couple free board/table games to play. It's a decent size with about 3 tables for 4 with couple tables for 2 plus window bar seats. I would definitely return and hope to try more of their vegan and gluten free dessert next time paired with their Indian chaat house items plus a nice cup of Indian masala tea.

Wow! First of all, vegan sushi spots are still an uncommon find so the fact this exists is such a…read moretreat. In the Bay Area we have Shizen/Tane and which I can safely say are still pretty different from Vegan Shoku. (Both are so good!!). Vegan Shoku uses konjac-based sashimi which allows for sashimi and nigiri that looks like its conventional fish counterparts. Today, we ordered 1. Salmon Eggplant This reminded me of nasu dengaku but with a "salmon salad" (think tuna salad) on top of charred eggplant. There was a miso sauce, the same that's used for nasu dengaku dressing the entire thing. The eggplant was creamy but not oil-laden, and the salmon worked nicely with the eggplant and miso dressing. Every bite was perfection. Each bite was garnished with fried carrot strings and beet. Sooooo good! 2. Shoku Roll We figured we should definitely order this since it's the restaurant's namesake. Since it was topped with mango & a popping boba, it had a hint of sweetness which was refreshing. 3. Dynamite Roll Absolutely gorgeous roll that packed as much flavor as it did color. The sweet, savory, creamy and crunchy.... this roll takes you on a journey and more! 4. Teriyaki Beef Roll Don't ask questions, just order this! It's like a beef donburi in roll form. 5. Salmon Nigiri I've never been a fan of seafood so this was a bit of a risky pick. Sure enough, it was too realistic for me so I had to hand it off to my bf to finish. For those who love and miss the taste of salmon, this is a must try! 6. Takoyaki While this looked like takoyaki, it definitely wasn't. They were still tasty but they were more like meatballs than anything. Takoyaki is supposed to have chunks of octopus (which when I make it at home, I use konyaku), shredded cabbage, ginger in a savory pancake-like batter cooked in a ball-shaped cast iron mold, topped with aonori, mayo and brown sauce. The meatballs were in a brown sauce of some kind and were incredibly robust and meaty. They were too meaty for my liking (some mock meats sort of gross me out!) but that's more of a preference thing and doesn't speak to the quality. It was very flavorful, it just wasn't for me. 7. Matcha Ice cream The ice cream looked like it was slice from a cake! Maybe they peeled back the paper carton of the ice cream and cut a slice from that. It looked super surgical and clean, like art! The flavor was super robust and matcha-y. It was not the typical (disappointing) green-colored ice cream that tasted mostly of vanilla and had hints of match. This was the real deal! What a rare find! It extremely pricey but it more than made up for all the times I've ordered green-colored matcha imposter ice creams, so get this if you are a matcha lover! Being how uncommon these types of restaurants are, the server was super patient in answering my questions and was helpful in making suggestions too. If I find myself in BC in the future, you can bet I'll be making another stop in here to try other items on their menu. This was such a treat!!

I had been wanting to try this place out for ages and finally managed to get there. I had a Plant…read moreCurious BOGO deal too so I was able to use that for a couple of Oshi sushi orders.  The food wasn't bad but honestly not as good as I had hoped. I think there was a bit too much rice used in the sushi. Smaller amounts of rice would have been preferred. Also, we found that the Salmon Avocado Oshi tasted just like the Tuna Avocado Oshi. Either that, or they gave us two identical sushi orders by mistake instead of 1 Salmon Avocado Oshi and 1 Tuna Avocado Oshi. I was kinda bummed that they didn't have their vegan spam that day. Hoping to go back some other day and try it. If it weren't for the vegan spam though, I probably wouldn't bother coming back to this restaurant again. Pains me to say that as I'm usually a huge supporter of plant based restaurants but...this restaurant was really just OK for me. Not horrible, but aside from wanting to try their vegan spam...the food just wasn't good enough for me to want to come back again.

This café features a fully vegan menu which is amazing for vegans and those who can't enjoy dairy comfortably! I was blown away by how the white chocolate strawberry croissant tasted nothing like it was short of eggs. The texture resembles an actual croissant and I would say the only difference lies in the flight drier/stiffer texture. There was a sweet filling inside that paired really well with the croissant, causing me to devour the whole thing in one sitting. Their drinks are standard and can served for here or to go. I love the ambiance and interior of the café. There is ample seating and space. I also love that they have a little section for kids with books and toys to keep them busy. Through the window, you can also see the baking facility that the café uses to prepare all their food. This is a wonderful spot to stop by in the neighbourhood and I'm glad my boyfriend lives close by so I can walk here on many occasions!
