A classic - Edit
We've been going to Asian Stars for years. I've lost track of how many people I've brought here. Vegans and non-vegans love it here. The food is always delicious and the portion sizes are generous. Love their Orange Chicken, Pad Thai and Mango Salad... my dad loves their Tom Yum Soup so it must be excellent 😁 Will always be a repeat customer.

Amazing - Edit
One of my #1 favorite veg places. Reliable vegan options made in a completely separate kitchen from the meat, so no chance of cross contamination. Delicious flavors and lots of authentic options. Would give 10/5.

Love the vegan chicken fried rice here! So many amazing flavours! - Edit
Asian Stars has lots of options for vegans. My go to is the chicken fried rice. It has so many tasty flavours you don’t always get. It’s got a great fried taste but isn’t greasy. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic vegan options! - Edit
I would give this place five stars if I could (it’s not fully vegan so the app won’t allow it). There’s a two-page vegan menu though! The service was great and the food was super tasty. I highly recommend the fresh rolls. Yummmm.

Huge vegan menu - Edit
A very fun dinner! It has been a while since we had our Asian favourites because it is hard to find them in vegan form in Ottawa. In our excitement we over-ordered, but enjoyed and finished every last bit.

Lots of vegan options - Edit
Lots of vegan options and the vegan tom tum and vegan banana shake i think it’s called is very good too. Don’t go thinking it’s authentic because it’s very Americanised but it’s good for a casual night out.

Amazing vegan chicken - Edit
My friend and I shared vegan again stars love nest and vegan orange chicken. Both were incredibly delish, but their food isn’t overally spicy if that’s a taste profile you like. They have a clearly labelled vegan section of their menu. They also offer cheap delivery
Read morePros: wide variety , reasonably priced

Good menu - Edit
Good menu with lots of vegan options. Also has a gluten free menu.
Read moreThe food was quite bland for our tastes. Vermicelli with tofu was supposed to come with a "spicy soy sauce" on the side. What it came with was basically a light duck sauce, sugary without much else.
Other dishes were good enough.
Would happily eat there again but probably wouldn't go too far out if our way to.

delicious vegan menu - Edit
Vegan menu is great with lots of options. Vegan options are loved by vegans and non-vegans! Pad Thai, general tao 'chicken' are our favourites but we've tried pretty much the entire vegan menu and all the options are great.

Yummy and convenient - Edit
This is my restaurant of choice for dinner time. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. Their meat alternatives (especially the chick'n) can ealiy fool a meat eater in dishes like their vegan orange chicken.

Amazing Vegan Pad Thai! - Edit
They have a separate vegan menu with plenty of options! my favourites are the pad Thai and the orange "chicken". Servings are quite large, and I always have leftovers when I order the pad Thai. Sadly the prices have recently increased by a few dollars a plate, but I still think that it's a good value for the quality and quantity of food that you get!

Great all around place for the family - Edit
Great restaurant with knowledgeable staff. They are well used to tons of vegans eating here. They have a full vegan menu (in addition to their non-veg menu) with the option of having tofu, vegan beef, vegan chicken, or vegan pork. Very clean, friendly and comfortable place. Everything is well priced. Great for the whole family.

P.S. it's on a busy road and easy to miss. Stop at the large Denny's sign.
Cons: location

Really good asian (vegan) food... - Edit
First of all, kudos to the owners. They have created a parallel vegan menu, of high quality, where nobody is left behind. Lots of great flavours, including spicy options, for those of us who are so inclined. The service is great, and the ambience is comfortable...especially for families. My only critique is the location, but it's worth the trek.

Desserts too! - Edit
Large vegan menu, including multiple (!!) dessert options. Quick service and always friendly. The portions are large and the food is good! Fresh rice rolls (V02) with peanut dipping sauce remain my favorite after several visits, and noodle soups are delicious as well.

Delectable Asian cuisine - Edit
It was our second time my husband and I to come to this restaurant. The first time was days after their opening and we had been disappointed by the food and had given up on this place. After reading the two very positive reviews, we decided to try it again tonight. It was a revelation, a totally different experience. The owner explained to us that soon after it had opened, some people they had hired to assist the chef were found to not be up to the task and were dismissed, so it was possibly the reason for our disappointment. So tonight the food we tried was all very good, fresh, crisp, and tasty. We had the "fresh vegetarian rolls", the Thaï soup with spicy tomato broth, the Singapore noodles with roast "pork", and the Asian Stars love nest with fried vermicelli noodles. Each dish tasted very different and all were delicious, some spicy (the soup for instance), not too much but enough to bring depth and complexity to the flavours. The vegetables were crisp cooked, very fresh, the bean sprouts irreproachable. The portions are humongous so one plate can help two people. We are extremely pleased to have decided to go back to this place again and will be back soon.
