Incredible!!

I was so surprised by the variety, they had dishes with mock duck, fish, chicken, pork, everything! Personally I hated meat before going vegan in the first place but this is such a massive bonus if you’re considering taking your omni friends out for lunch/dinner. I ordered the combination Laksa but honestly the combination entree platter was PERFECT. I would’ve just ordered a couple of those for myself as a main if I knew it was going to be that good hahaha. Included 2 duck pancakes (looked more like a rice paper roll), 2 dumplings, 2 pork skewers and 2 spring rolls. So delicious, really impressed my omni boyfriend. Will definitely return if I’m back in Sydney!

TL;DR
Get the combination entree platter!!
The combo Laksa was also delicious.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, all kinds of mock meats, Large portions, great value , Amazing variety

Cons: Sometimes staff can come across unwelcoming

Awful service

OK food. The service was terrible, and it ruined the whole experience. Girlfriends noodles for the curry came 10 minutes after the curry, which was already cold by then. My food came 20 minutes later and had other ingredients then what was stated by the waiter. Definitely won’t go back and won’t recommend

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Awful service, Expensive, Un informative menu

I’ve eaten here numerous times and have never been disappointed. The food is amazing - I would recommend the pork skewers, beef rendang and the salt and chilli chicken

clean, fast, fresh

Fantastic, incredibly tasty, viet-style food. Highly recommend the Beef Rendang Curry. Best curry we’ve had with mock meat. Duck pancakes were a bit dry, and would probably skip the eggplant fritters next time.
Somewhere I'd be happy to take omnis to.

Pros: speed, Taste, location

Great food but missing simple vegetable dishes

I love golden lotus but every dish has fake meat in it, and many of my friends do not like this.

Pros: Everything is vegan!!, Great flavours, Lovely team & great location

Cons: No simple vegetable dishes (fried veggies for$

Hmm....

I visited with a non-vegan friend and he ordered the mixed laksa. The broth itself was ok but the mock meats + tofu were quite bland.

I ordered the "duck" with plum sauce. While the sauce itself was tasty, the mock duck skin was very "sharp" on most pieces - for lack of a better word (almost bone-like) - and was quite hard to chew. For the price, the dish could also benefit from some veggies on the side.

I love the idea of what they're doing here, but probably not a place I'd visit again.

Pros: Tasty plum sauce on the mock-duck

Cons: Pricey, Heavily-reliant on faux meats, The mixed laksa was pretty bland

Drool worthy

Busy place but once you eat there you know why. Also a great location not far from the Newtown Station.

Pros: So many options!, Classic dishes made vegan , Peking duck rolls!

Cons: Can get super busy and maybe a queue , Had a slight MSG hangover (potentially) only once

Best Vietnamese in Sydney

We love the food here. Truly vegan. Great variety. Nice flavours. But ensure you book in advance, as they are always crowded.

Mouth watering food

Couldn't have picked a better Vietnamese restaurant to go to. I was really impressed by both the food and the service. Highly recommend. My fav was the vegan calamari!!!

Pros: Lots of vegan options!!!

Favourite dish in Sydney!

This is always my go to restaurant! Lovely vibes, delicious food- the vegan chicken satay is potentially my favourite meal in Sydney 😍

Only tried food delivery so far

..but it was still surprisingly good. Will definitely go to the restaurant next time as I think they have limited menu for Uber Eats.

We had the roast duck with plum sauce and the beef rendang - both very tasty. I had to keep asking myself if the rendang was real or faux meat. Skin on the duck is 👌🏼- def one of the best on the menu.

For appetisers, satay chicken skewers were also decent but the fried spring rolls were mediocre.

Bursting with flavour

Not because I’m vegan, but these guys make the best laksa I’ve had in my life!!! So far my experiences dining in and getting take away have been on point. Super quick service and great portion sizes. Highly recommend them.

Yuk, yuk and yuk!

What a disappointment. This was truely one of the most disgusting meals I’ve ever been served out. I ate 2 bites and couldn’t eat anymore. I ordered the tofu yellow coconut curry, they didn’t use coconut cream they used powder and it was not dissolved and the sauce had no flavour. The tofu was cheap and nasty. Also order the asparagus and tofu soup, this was a salty broth with floating asparagus and tofu pieces. My partner order the “fish” with lemongrass, it was so dry he could hardly eat it. I can not believe the previous ratings this place has got. It touts that it’s healthy, this is not true. Go anywhere else. If I could I would have given this place no stars, HappyCow only allows a minimum of 2 stars for vegan restaurants. (I will add that I don’t like faux meats just lovely fresh food including tofu and tempeh)

Brilliant portion sizes

Portion sizes were great value for money - mixed laksa could easily be shared between two people. The mixed appetiser was classic Asian starters and all of them were brilliant tasting. My boyfriend had the Coconut Chicken and I tried and for my first time tasting mock meat, I was blown away. Will definitely be returning! Jasmine rice wasn’t very ‘jasminey’ yet that wasn’t a negative as sometimes it can be too floral. I would recommend booking as we went on a Sunday evening and it was very busy and ended up sharing a table with another couple - however this added to the experience and was fine for us!

So much choice

Good value for portion size, lots of options - go with a group so you can try more as there’s so much to pick from! I had vegan chicken on hot plate an the mixed platter appetisers. Both good but think I would try a different main next time😄can be quite noisy as there’s no carpet or anything to absorb the sound

Pros: BYO, Good portion size , Lots of options

Cons: Noisy
