    Gyozas
    Sara S.

    This was such a treat! I have never been to an all-vegan sushi restaurant before. They don't make everything from scratch (e.g., the spring rolls and gyozas), but that doesn't even matter. The food was so delicious. We got the gyozas, tofu katsu, california roll, dynamite roll, and summer roll. Everything was so good! Our server was very attentive and kind. It's a small , intimate restaurant, which I prefer. The parking was pretty easy and only about $3 USD for 2 hours.

    Spam roll
    Rahul D.

    A true vegan spot specializing in plant based sushi and Asian cuisine. Located in Kerrisdale, quaint and cute neighborhood of Vancouver; this restaurant was founded on a philosophy of plant base diet. Often times you would normally see vegetarian Mock meats only used for main entrées, very rarely for sushi, and nigiri. Yet this place proved that it is possible. The host is a very sweet Japanese lady who greets and seats you promptly. Quick note; she may ask any visitor if they are OK with onion and garlic, there are a few items that are made with it, but there's a possibility they may be able to make entrées without them, so just ask! A complementary bowl of miso soup was given. The two kinds of rolls, I ordered were the spam teriyaki roll, and the Shoku roll. I've never tried spam ever in my life, and often wondered what the consistency would've been like. But I was very surprised; it has a similar consistency like beyond meat (but it's not beyond meat when I asked) There was certainly no flavor lacking. The next one was the Shoku roll; I think this was one of my top favorite vegetarian rolls. It was spicy vegan crab, with vegan tuna, complimented with a mango glaze on the side, and what I feel is tapioca pearls in the form of Fish row.roe. (back in the day when I've eaten real sushi, I was never a fan of Fish roe, but did not mind it this time). Be sure to let them know if you are not comfortable with having it as a topping. They are very understanding and accommodating. At this point, I was hoping to try a third roll, but I had no space. So till next time, go support them so they can make it to their one year mark and many more!

    The Menu

    The food is amazing. Tastes wonderful and such care is taken with presentation. The service is so personal. I felt like I was visiting someone's home. Over all a lovely place to enjoy fantastic vegan food

    agedashi tofu
    Aida K.

    What a surprise! I accidentally came across this resto thanks to Uber Eats. Not a hard core vegan but I don't mind having this type once in awhile The fried California rolls were an extra special treat with that crunch and flavour We ordered agedashi tofu, crunch (california) rolls and a vegan chicken teriyaki bowl A nice treat that I would recommend to any vegan die-hards (find me on IG @aida.loves )

    Vine St Roll
    Zach S.

    This place is absolutely fantastic! The service was amazing and they were so happy to help us and recommend additional dishes. The Vine St roll was by far our favorite. Absolutely delicious!

    Salmon on fire sushi

    The food at vegan shoku was great. Great taste and beautiful presentation. We ordered salmon on fire sushi, tuna avocado oshi, gyoza, spring rolls and tiramisu. I can say without a doubt that everything tasted amazing!!! Will come back for sure! The service was extremely warm and pleasant.

    Mochi cheesecake. Not great.

    Amazing vegan sushi, exceptional selection, quality ingredients, stellar service. We were seated immediately, and almost everything we ate, from the calamari starter to the hazelnut cake finish, was phenomenal. Fantastic place for vegans.

    Miso soup
    Matt B.

    Extremely creative and impressively executed all-vegan sushi and more. What a vegan paradise this is. I heard through an online post that this place had recently opened, so my wife and I had to check it out. They have an extensive menu of very creative sushi, plus many more Japanese staples. We ordered a variety of stuff to share, which turned out to be the right amount. We got: -Goma-ae ($6.50) -- top-notch goma-ae, not too sweet, and made with a really nice black sesame paste. Extremely well-executed. 5/5 -Spicy agedashi tofu ($9.95 plus tax) -- this was the only thing we got that was rather disappointing. The tofu was served deep fried not covered in the sauce -- the sauce was separate, so the sauce did not have time to marinate the tofu at all, and the result was an agedashi tofu that was rather flavourless. Also, it wasn't remotely spicy. For the price, it was also poor value. Skip this one. 2.5/5 -Beef teriyaki roll ($8.00 plus tax). The "beef" is made with thinly sliced soy marinated in teriyaki. Big hearty roll, very satisfying and impressively true to the original. 5/5 -Futo maki ($11.95 plus tax). I've always loved this classic roll, so when I see vegan versions of it, I jump at it. Great textures with the different veggies and tied together by the inari. Over-priced for what you get but well-executed. 4.5/5 -Avocado cream cheese roll ($6.00 plus tax). This was fantastic. I guess they use some sort of tofu product for the cream cheese, which has the perfect creamy texture and is flavoured very nicely, complementing the avocado. Kick ass. 5/5 -Dynamite roll ($7.95) -- I haven't had the real dynamite roll in over a decade, so I can't really compare, but the textures were right. Very satisfying. 4.5/5 -Spicy salmon nigiri ($8.50) -- it's annoying that you have to order the Nigiri in 2pcs/order, and it's very expensive (I know nowhere else that you pay $4+ per Nigiri pc). That said, this was very nicely done -- not really salmon-like and not spicy, but nicely flavoured and textured. 3.5/5 Top-notch, friendly service who gave us free miso soup to start. Everything was presented beautifully and we enjoyed most things. Priced high but ultimately worth it given the niche market this is serving. Highly recommended.

    Vegan salmon carpaccio
    Carmen H.

    They have a private room in the back that fits a party of 14. You can call in advance to book. Really friendly service! My group was a group of 13 and the waitress and owner came to say hi. Great food, great aesthetic. Super vegan friendly, and great for those of us who don't eat onion or garlic. :) Would recommend!!

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!

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.

It's a decent size with about 3 tables for 4 with couple tables for 2 plus window bar seats.

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!
