It doesn't taste anything like the real thing. But it's nice in its own way. The pork strips was nice,the pork patty was strange and the pork chop part was a soy based patty which I've eaten at plenty of other places. There was also this egg which wasn't a real egg,I liked this! The outer white part of the egg was Crispy,it's like a wanton egg My mum had the hainan chicken which was not like the real thing and was fried. It was a little burnt and hard to eat The missus had this rice dish,not much taste to it but still ok.

My first go at eating all-vegan and I have to admit I really enjoyed the food. I ventured in on a…read moreweek night around 7pm and it wasn't busy at all so we grabbed a plate each and filled 'em up with buffet style vegan food. As soon as you're done choosing all your goodies you place your plate on a scale and pay by the weight. Staff aren't overly friendly or attentive so this is a good place if you want to go chill out and not be fussed over. I had a spring roll, curry puff, dumplings, broccoli, noodles with Chinese vegetables and a potato curry. There was food made to look like pork and tofu was everywhere but I didn't feel like I was eating vegan as it was full of flavour and not what I expected. There also happens to be a cat that sits in the hallway towards the kitchen/bathroom so if you're into that sort of thing...

This is a fantastic vegan restaurant in the heart of newtown…read more You've got 3 options: - buffet lunch for $8 / 500 grams - buffet dinner for $14 / 500 grams - order off the menu The buffet is awesome as you can try a whole range of vegan dishes (like 'fish' fillets, 'pork' buns, 'chicken' stir fry etc) and you just pay by the weight of your plate. If you have your eye on something special from the very extensive menu then you can add that on to your order. The food is great, very flavour some with a range of interesting textures! Don't expect amazing decor or stellar service - but you're coming for the awesome vegan food and to enjoy the company of your dinner mates! Also pop in next door and you can buy a range of vegan faux meat, pies, curries and even amazing desserts.

Not your traditional Vietnamese street food, more weird "fusion" flavours than anything else, that don't quit work together. Green apple and papitas in a roast pork roll? No thanks. They don't even have traditional pork rolls. Chipped a tooth on some bone left in a duck rice paper roll. Awesome. Been there 3 times, thinking maybe the first time was just a "one off bad day" but every experience the food seemed to get worse. Tried different items every time too. Stale rolls twice, they pretty much turned into powder trying to bite into them. Lemon grass chicken tasted like fish the last time... tasted like a canned tuna roll... was not pleasant and 2 bites in was enough to throw it away. Super disappointed, starting to think everyone giving them raving reviews have 2 minute noodles for dinner every night if this is what they think is amazing? Sorry guys, but Aunty threes ain't for me... or any of the friends I went there with.

Whether you're a full-time, part-time or sometime veggiesaurus, the Veggie Patch Diner will please…read moreall plant-based leanings. It isn't entirely 'super food' or 'raw food' but more accurately; 'comfort food' on the vegetarian dining spectrum. Inside its a humble diner-style place with light wood furnishings and a sunny courtyard out the back. Most of the food is on display at the front and ready-to-assemble if you're in a rush. Like burgers? Well, you'll be spoilt for choice here if you're a vego. There are about 5 different kinds; like zucchini and feta, cajun spiced tofu or chipotle smoked mushroom. Personally, I cant go past the mixed plate. A rainbow of whatever the daily salads, edame falafel, changing dips - oh dips! - house made pickles and pita bread. It will fill you up good. Healthy, hearty, homely food.

The burgers are incredibly tasty for vegetarian food. I had the olive and almond burger. The mix of the beetroot relish, mayo, tomato relish were flavoursome, just like a great burger, and they were oozing out of the burger. The sweet potato chips with basil mayo are the bomb!!! I ordered them everytime I see the truck and here at the diner, I was presented with a bigger serving. They are my favourite chips in Sydney. Service is so-so, the food came out fast. You order at the counter and water is self-service. Decor is like that of a cute trendy cafe but nothing special. Food is the highlight here. Hours after lunch, I'm still salivating over the burgers and sweet potato chips. Cannot wait to return.

All the food was so authentic and flavorful. My favorite was the fried rice. Can't say anything but, it was just good. They didn't have sweet and sour chicken on the menu but, they kindly made it for me and it was perfect. The portions were large enough to share amongst 2-3 people which we did. The service was good and they were friendly . I will definitely eat here again when in town.

The soup stocks at this Vietnamese Vegetarian / Vegan restaurant are incredibly tasty. The chef…read morelets slip that she makes the stock with over 20 herbs, spices and other ingredients, all vegan of course. What's also interesting is that the restaurant doesn't use any monosodium glutamate (MSG), garlic or onions in the soup stock (or any of the other dishes made in the kitchen). I got some take away Bun Bo Hue for my friends one time and they thought it was one of the best Bun Bo Hue stocks they had ever tasted. I've come back a few times for the Bun Bo Hue and had to write a review. The daily rice with three options appears to be quite popular. It appears that many workers from around the area pop in to get the rice with three dish choice for lunch or on the way home for dinner, which is available eat in or takeaway. My favourite is the vegan faux fish fried with lemon grass and chilli with a touch of curry powder, (called Ca Xao Xa Ot) in Vietnamese, which goes really well with the jasmine rice, but it isn't available everyday so you might want to call ahead to check if they have it or can make it for you. The restaurant has a comfortable decor and you are helped by friendly staff who are also keen supporters of the Vietnamese Buddhist Temple "Chua Vien Giac" way of life. The Restaurant is owned by the Buddhist temple charity and was established to promote healthy and compassionate eating that's also tasty! I do have to declare an interest, my mum works at the Restaurant and my Aunty is one of the Buddhist Nun at the Chua Vien Giac Temple (Not for profit organisation). Despite this, I am quite sure based on my friend's comments about the take away Bun Bo Hue I got them that my experience of the Bun Bo Hue is definitely not in any way biased.

I ventured out to Cabramatta to give this place a try. A review on Happycow suggested that this…read morerestaurant offers an $11 buffet. My mother and I seated ourselves and were presented with 2 menus that did not indicate a buffet anywhere, but did affirm that this restaurant is 100% vegan. We asked the waitress about the prolific 'buffet' and were shown to a cafeteria-style section where you ask her what you want and she plates it up for you. Odd for a buffet, but for $11 it's a compromise I'll accept. I got her to plate me some noodles and an assortment of different bite-sized tofu appetisers. As I prepare my hands to take the dish from her, she puts it in the microwave. This is not a good sign. One can expect a buffet service to not contain the freshest of food, but this is just mediocre, even for $11. Explains why I saw flies buzzing around that area as I entered the restaurant. Perplexed with my reheated meal, I began eating. The noodles were the flat vermicelli kind, but yellow like egg noodles (God I hope they weren't using egg noodles) and mixed with green beans and strung carrots. The taste was like something you'd expect from a packet of Mi Goreng; that is to say they tasted good enough, but you'd expect more from a restaurant. The tofu appetisers were marginally better, as it's not something most people consume everyday you find it harder to compare. What I can say is though there was variety, all the appetisers tasted very similar; fried, salty and like tofu. Due to the microwaved nature of my plate, the meal was reasonably hot around the outside, and got colder the further into the middle you got. During our meal we were brought a bowl containing a chunk of pumpkin, swimming in clear broth and garnished with a bit of coriander. Like everything else had so far in this restaurant, it was lacklustre. Watery with some mildly sweet tones to complement some mushy pumpkin. To top it all off we were served a bowl of what looked like a rice pudding, a dish I'm very fond of. Just one spoonful in, the pleasant memories of a hot, gooey and sweet rice pudding were not evoked. Instead I was greeted to a room temperature bowl of runny goop with a very grainy texture and not much, if any sweetness at all. Although the food wasn't fantastic, I thought I'd return to the buffet area to try some of the appetisers that I didn't try the first time, and was told I'd have to pay again for another plate, so there's clearly some miscommunication on what defines a 'buffet' in this establishment. I hear this place has some affiliation with a local Buddhist temple, which I'm glad to support as I strongly resonate with Buddhist philosophy. Of course being a vegan establishment also is a big plus, because the world really does need more of them. Eating this food didn't upset me, as I feel very privileged to simply go where I want and eat as I please. But the food simply didn't meet the expectations of even a cheap Asian restaurant. It felt like I was eating last night's leftovers, and so I unfortunately can't give the food or the total experience any merit greater than a 1 star rating. + Vegan + Cheap - NOT A BUFFET as other reviewers and even the staff will indicate - Plain tasting - Hygiene doesn't look great - Food is microwaved

I'd visit any day though. This is a decent-sized, sit-down place in a nice neighborhood, but offers great value; you can easily order a dosa or other main dish plus some delicious appetizers for less then you would have spent for a single dish most of urban Sydney, whose food scene I have not been that impressed with. And frankly, it wasn't as sketch as some comparable restaurants I've visited farther north in this country. And the if you haven't tried the vegetarian delights of south India, this will be a good introduction as they did the basics well. The potato filling in my savory crepe was snappy and delicious, and were their spicy samosas, generous breads, and an impressive sizzling cheese dish. I wish I had tried a thali (sampler platter), but it was hard enough finishing what I got even with a group. If I were back in town again, this would be close to a must-visit.

And not just in Sydney. My favorite dish is the Punjab platter, but the dosas are also excellent. I haven't had a dish here that I didn't think was exceptional. The prices are good and it can be hard to find a table, but it is so worth it. And please don't confuse this with the other Indian place called "Maya" something that is directly across the street, it is decidedly not the same (not even close, actually). This one is the bomb.
