It's just okay

It's cheap and good food but nothing spectacular, I must admit. I don't find the staff all that friendly.

Pros: good vegan food

Cons: unfriendly staff

Very good, affordable

Exactly what you would expect from a small low key bistro. Great food for cheap.

Pros: Options, Price

Good desserts

Nice and cosy place in a thai buddhist style. We had dessert quite late at night, very good both. Simple and effective

Greasy Overabundance of Cheap Lunch

This place is my favourite place for lunch, 2 sides rice is already very fulfilling. Try their mock meats, super delicious!

Beware of the greasiness though... choose 1 stir fry and 1 soupy/curry side to balance it out. Portion is humongous, bring lunchbox to bring back half for takeaway dinner. (That 12$ goes a looooong way).

Dont forget to drink water :>

Pros: Cheap, fulfilling, delicious

Cons: Greasy

Blooming Good

Had a takeaway eggplant tomato courgette with stir fied noodles. $10:00. It was very nice. Got the Happy Cow sticker.
Wide variety of food to pick from have either rice or noodles.
I revisited Blooming Good food yesterday with a fellow vegan, we both enjoyed the fare on offer. I had noodles with tempeh and aubergines. Lovely, my friend had fried rice and lemon grass and fresh brocolli and pumpkin. Both dishes $12.00 each. Got the Happy Cow sticker. Please vegans support these vegan places.
Revisited this great eatery at its newest address. Just moved up King Street towards Erko.
We had a plate of noodles with fried tempeh and veggies, stir fried veggies and tofu and curry sauce. The other plate had stir fried rice and lemon grass and rice. Both dishes were delicious.
Got HC sticker.

Newtown BL closed

Note that the Newtown branch of Blossoming Lotus has closed. Not sure when that happened but walked past today (31/05/20) to see the shut down.

All vegan, cheap but okay food

The buffet style is very cheep. You choose between different styles of meat alternatives and sides. Although it is very greasy and doesn’t have too much taste.

Pros: All vegan, Waste choice

Cons: Cash only , Missing taste, Very greasy

I highly recommend it.

I haven't been there in a while because I no longer live in Sydney, but I love this restaurant. Not only is the food cheap and delicious, but it has such a good vibe. My favourite dishes are the mock duck, the crispy soy, the eggplant and the spring rolls.

Lots of vegan choices, buffet

Food is a 7/10, price is reasonable. Some doubts about food hygiene but otherwise a fairly good choice. If it was a bit cheaper I’d likely eat here quite often.

Favourite Cheap Meal!

Every time I go to Newtown, I literally can't go past eating here for lunch. There is always a wide variety of options, which never leave me unhappy with my decision. My favourites are the vegan duck and eggplant and tomato dish. Only $10 too!

Pros: Cheap, Delicious

Cons: Not always great customer service

A 100% vegan local favourite

Great buffet deals.
A La Carte options available.

The crispy soy strips and spring rolls would have to be the most popular from the buffet.

Remember to take cash!

Pros: Cheap, Fast, Conveniently located

Cons: Cash only

Ok, but there are tastier options out there

Ordered the duck curry at this place and whilst the meal was OK, I felt it to be somewhat lacking. It may have something to do with their motto of not adding onions or garlic to any of their food. I also tried to mock sugarcane prawn, which was almost cold when i received it.

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: I have tasted better

Love this place!

Very generous servings, lots of mock meat, quick service, food always tastes the same, I've found my favorites and stick to them.

This is one of my favourite places to eat in Newtown coz I know what I'll be getting. I want to feel relaxed, not like I'm going out for a fancy dinner, but even then I'd still consider going here!

Friendly staff and happy vibes, totally recommend it.

Pros: Huge serving size, Value for money, Friendly open space, relaxing

Cons: Pay by cash, but theres ATMs nearby
