A Whirlwind Lunch - Edit
We came to Easy House for lunch on a Thursday and were pleasantly surprised to find that all yum cha offerings were the same price: $3.80. That meant that most items on their large menu were up to 25% cheaper! This happens only on Thursdays, but given that the place was packed, this discount is clearly a drawcard.
Read moreThe food was fresh and vibrant and was brought out straight from the kitchen to the table. If we liked the look of what was on offer, we took the treats (the plates/pots contained 3/4/5 pieces each). We found the service as it should be in a yum cha venue: the dishes are brought around to every table and are marketed there and then! If you don't buy what is offered, the table next to you probably will. It is not rude; that's just how things are done in the Chinese culture. There was no pushiness involved whatsoever. Nobody walked off with a huff when we refused certain offerings.
Unfortunately, there were far too many yummy treats on offer (even the custard buns are now made vegan, which means every bit of yum cha can now be enjoyed by vegan patrons), and though we tried to limit how many dishes we ate, we still managed to take 10 of them (for three of us). So lunch wasn't that cheap, but it was surely unforgettable.
For a quick, easy, and tasty lunch - and a new experience for many, it seems - Easy House is just what the doctor ordered. It might not be cheap, but vegan yum cha is rare in Oz, so it's definitely worth a try, even as a one-off. Thursday seems to be the day to visit there.
Pros: Price on Thursday, flavour, novelty
Cons: Price on other days

5 stars, a must visit! - Edit
I shared yum cha dishes and mains with non-vegans, and even they were impressed!
Read moreYum cha we tried included Shanghai dumplings, fried wontons, steamed dim sims, XO rolls and they were ALL delicious!! The XO rolls are a must try!
We shared the ‘honey’ chkn and tofu & chkn in ginger sauce with choy sum (from the specials board). Both dishes were very yummy - if you have a sweet tooth, you will like the honey chkn.
At dinner time, there is a different menu - just ask for the tum cha menu (some entree items are the same as the dinner menu).
Staff were friendly and it was a great dinner, we will be back💗
Pros: All vegan, Absolutely delicious

Super delicious - Edit
We went and sampled some dishes from the Lunar New Year menu and the regular menu. I haven't seen mock honey chicken before - it was great. My partner had the hot pot special and enjoyed it. The nian bao was crispy and the hibiki matcha pudding was amazing.

By Far My Favourite - Edit
I went to this restaurant 3 times in 4 days on the GC. The service is fast and friendly and the food was the best I've ever had at a vegan restaurant. There are so many dishes to choose from and the yum cha at lunch is a must. I would come back to the GC just to go there.

Wide variety of menu items - Edit
Easy House is exactly that, a casual easy setting with a large menu with something for everyone. It’s not licensed and bright lighting means it’s not a “restaurant” atmosphere but with friendly staff who are always welcoming and tasty food it’s definitely worth a regular visit.

Ideal Vegan Yum Cha Place in Gold Coast - Edit
Easy House was the first vegan stop since our arrival to the Gold Coast. The family restaurant was very welcoming and sweet. The yum cha options were tasty. There was a mini cockroach in the gailan (greens) and they were happy enough to cook and bring out a new one. The matcha coconut cream pudding and the chocolate pudding (always sold out) is a must try!

I absolutely love Easy House. It is my go to after a big week at work and I cannot be bothered to cook. My favourite dish is the salt and pepper seafood *drool*. It is on the more expensive side however you do pay for quality.

Best. Vegan. Restaurant. Ever! - Edit
We have been going to Easy House ever since we discovered it a few years ago after moving up from Sydney to the Gold Coast. It is run by the loveliest family who are really passionate about veganism & making their customers happy by serving up consistently delicious food each & every time. We love Asian food & could not be happier with the delicious selections on offer in their fantastic menu. My family are all vegan and my son & I are also gluten free. We always have the best selection of dishes to choose from & don't ever feel as if we are missing out on anything by being gluten free. The friendly staff always cater well to our gluten free requirements. I also love the fact that they don't cook with onion or garlic - another thing I can't eat. We especially love the "beef" in black bean sauce, the salt & pepper tofu, the combination flat rice noodles, the vegetarian fried rice, xo noodles, pan fried dumplings and steamed Chinese broccoli. The yum cha lunch menu is also divine with the best steamed dumplings in the universe! Their mango & coconut puddings are out of this world also - so happy mango season is back again! This is a restaurant that has become our absolute favourite in the whole of the Gold Coast & is where we celebrate just about every special occasion. Thank you to the wonderful staff for their amazing customer service and delectable dishes. We really appreciate everything you do, as we are sure, do the animals you save by being such great advocates for veganism & the plant-based, healthy way of life. Please go and try this highly recommended gem of a restaurant. You will not be disappointed.

Favourite meal on the Gold Coast - Edit
Cycled down from surfers paradise and was not disappointed. Had lunch and it was soooo good. Definitely ate too much but was worth it. Would have loved to go with friends to try different dishes, I was on my own so had the dumplings (my favourite) and chilli chicken. They let my try some of their home made picked radish and it was great. Definitely worth a visit!!!!
