Amazing food, all vegan. The faux meat is incredible. The laksa is delicious and we always order the rendang curry because it's simply sublime. Also get the plum duck.

Their combination laksa lived up to its reputation, it was delicious, especially the protein in it was done very well.
Read moreMy partner had the garden greens dish which she loved but I find that dish to be overpriced at $22 whereas the laksa was $18.
I was excited to see mango sticky rice on the menu, but it was a massive disappointment and ruined the experience for me.

Top Quality Vietnamese Food - Edit
I came here without any expectations and was blown away by the food selections we’ve had. The Saigon iced coffee hit the sweet spot and I can definitely say that this would be one of the best places to have a bowl of vegan chicken phở 🍜. You would get more toppings than any other restaurant and the broth is flavourful! The mixed appetisers plate was enjoyed by all. My mother was pleased with the vermicelli noodles salad w/ tofu and spring rolls. My sister loved the combination rice noodle stir-fry. We finished off with fried soy ice cream and the presentation was very cute ☺️

Golden Lotus - Edit
This place was busy for lunch. Had shredded tofu in rice paper rolls. Mains stir fried mixed veggies with cashews and brown rice. Drink of coconut juice. Bill $26:00 service and food was good. Got the Happy Cow sticker.
Read moreRevisited today 14th April. We had summer rolls $6,80. Satay tofu with veggies $16,80, rice noodles with
stir fry veggies and fresh apple juice $5,80. The meals were well prepared crunchy veggies and was swimming in a bit too much sauce.
Revisited after some time we shared baked 🍆, stir fried veggies, spring rolls, Tom YUM, serving of fried bananas with icecream

My most frequented restaurant for a reason - Edit
Every time I go to Golden Lotus I have the Laksa and find it 10/10. When I don’t have the laksa I find the meal 9/10 and just wish I had a laksa. Everything is amazing, but gosh the laksa is next level.

Well-loved, one of the best places ever - Edit
Golden Lotus always seems to be one of the busiest vegan restaurants around, and for good reason! Their menu is fantastic and nothing is better than the LAKSA which is my go-to dish for a quick takeaway and I have ordered it a ridiculous number of times! My non-vegan friend says it’s the best laksa he’s ever had too!
Read morePros: Laksa, Lemongrass chicken, Beef rendang

Walked in without booking and had a fantastic meal, perhaps the best vegan Vietnamese food I've ever eaten.
Read moreThe portion sizes are huge, so be careful not to over-order. This is not a negative thing!!
The tofu satay and deep fried chicken was beautiful and would highly recommend.
There's so much variety, and I already know what I'm going to order next time..
