Food quality is always consistent

I love the buffet style as you can pick anything you want and pay by the weight.

Classic Chinese but for vegans

This place was yum and had a big variety on the menu. Their buns definitely deserve a special mention as they are really really scrumptious!! I’d go back and try some other menu options too.

Too sweet

A lot of the food tastes overly sweet. Not worth it, there are much better vegan options on King St.

So many options, so little time

Had lunch here (not the buffet). Top notch yum cha, lots of dumplings and faux meat. Wish I had more time in Sydney so I could come back here.

Food court type fast food dishes

Nice atmosphere. Very friendly and helpful staff. There was an ok selection of food choices. Not a huge amount but not little either. There were lots of fried and deep fried options like spring rolls, fake char siu, tofu, etc. The texture on the char siu was surprising good but a little too hard/dry. You pay per kg. They also had an a la carte menu as well in case you wanted to order vegan dim sum or other dishes.

Pros: All vegan, Convincing char siu texture

Sort of food you would typically get from a casual Asian style buffet, but 100% vegan (sweet and sour, fried rice, steam buns). Tasty with good dessert options too (recommend the passion fruit cheesecake). Staff are also always friendly

Pros: 100% vegan, Pay by weight of food (cost effective), Tasty

Cons: Food is generally warm, not hot and fresh

Asian Vegan Buffet!

A 'pay by weight' Asian buffet style restaurant with lots of dishes to choose from. The eggplant and mushrooms are nice, quite a few mock meats to choose from, some of which just taste like tofu but some are quite interesting - the duck style is nice and the fish is interesting too. There used to be a cute little Vegan grocery shop included as well next door but sadly they've closed that part, but they still sell a few vegan home products in the restaurant and I think you can ordder birthday cakes here too although they aren't cheap.

Came here for lunch after a hiatus of some years. The buffet on offer was great. You take a plate and put on what u want. At the cashier they weigh the food deduct the plate and pay the difference my dish $8.50.
The place was very friendly, the owner Colin came over and welcomed me.
It got the Happy Cow sticker. Am surprised hadn't received one. Next door Colin has a vegan store. Check it out vegans.
Revisited today once again did not disappoint.
We had Won Ton soup, Ling Zhi mushrooms in clay pot with brocolli, tofu, carrots etc. Snow peas and chia seed dumplings, bowl of noodles and fresh coconut juice. $30 Once again GG didn't disappoint. Everything was cooked well and service tops. Please all get along and support this restaurant now in it's 18th year.
Came here this evening had a selection off the buffet stand, it was delicious and there were heaps more to choose from. Pay by weight was$18.00 was hungry. Took home slice of raw raspberry cheese cake and piece of tirimisu $17.00. 20 out of 20. Ppl plse try.

Good for a vegan buffet but cheap food

Did the buffet which is pay by the weight of the very heavy plate you have to use. Turned out being quite cheap for how much food I got though. Loved the variety of options that are all vegan - a really cool experience but flavours weren't as great as other foods I have had, and did feel quite cheap.
Nevertheless, it is a lovely place to visit for lunch and to fill yourself up! Will be back.

Pros: Variety of options

Cons: Plate for buffet is heavy

You won't leave hungry!

A cozy family owned restaraunt, fully vegan. You have options to eat buffet or order a meal directly off the menu (or both!). You pay by weight, which can get quite pricey if you eat a lot, but food is so tasty and filling. Lots of mock meat options too if that's your thing.

Pros: All vegan, Very tasty food, Fast service

Cons: Expensive, Parking is horrible

Great food but very pricey

I love the food, although it is oily, it’s super tasty and the buffet offers a great selection of vegetables to choose from. The decor of this restaurant is very simple with a pleasant but quiet atmosphere. The buffet is based on weight and I feel it is very expensive considering the simplicity of this place. A few additions such as relaxing background music and a lick of paint could hugely improve this place, as well as reducing the cost of the meals so that it is more affordable.

Pros: All vegan buffet, Delicious tasty food , Spacious restaurant

Cons: Expensive, Quiet atmosphere

Omg!! Must go!!

All you can eat buffet - ALL VEGAN!! Yumm! Works on weigh your plate to pay system. All food is vegan and named with meat names. Some food is questionable (I’m not a fan of fake meats), but most was really delish - espesh the steamed BBQ not-pork Buns - WOW!!! Never had anything so good! We got the Noah’s ark of the buffet (2 of everything) felt a bit sick full, but worth it!!

Savory and Satisfying

There’s something for everyone here and though the food isn’t perhaps the healthiest, it certainly is tasty and comforting. You can order off the menu but it appeared that all of the local regular customers opted for the buffet. The bbq fake pork dish was the best of the lot I chose. There’s every conceivable meat substitute dish you can think of offered here from fake fish to fake mini chicken drumsticks. They offer take-out containers should you want to take unfinished food home.

Lunch buffet is where it’s at

UPDATE: 14/5/18. Lunch menu prices have increased to $12.50/500g.

Buffet lunch for $8/500g, lots of fake meats and greens. In the evenings the price jumps to $14/500g, but there is more selection.
