OK food and a few options - Edit
It was great to see a few vegan options but I felt the food lacked flavour and imagination. Would try something different next time.
Read morePros: To see some options on menu, The curry “samosas” were interesting
Cons: Broccoli cashew dish bit light on cashews, Could do more with spices

Nice asian food - Edit
They had a few different vegan options on the menu, all well-labelled. Overall it was a nice middle of the road asian restaurant in the beautiful streets of Valletta. I had the Flavoured Tofu and Salt and Pepper Potatoes, which was really yummy and comforting. A little simple and nothing fancy, but it did the job!

Trust the reviews - Edit
The service and the restroom have been improved compared to previous reviews. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about the soup served. It was inedible. Sorry to have to say that.

Solid 4 - Edit
Not sure if something has changed but the variety is outstanding as a sideline to an omnivore menu.
Read moreI had the vegan tofu bao buns and they were outstanding. Then I had Vegan noodles but I asked for extra chilli and garlic. Why do people not read an accurate description of the dish and then add on ? Anyway, vegan spring rolls were great, the pakoras were mediocre, the vegan dumplings in veggie broth with black pepper were awesome as they were. Really peppery too.
Pros: The variety of dishes. , The staff were lovely. , The location is cute and central
Cons: The plastic wind shields only go up at night :), I don’t have access to the bao buns at home.

It’s alright, a tasty stop - Edit
Very limited menu but I was looking for a fast eat late at night after landing (10:30pm) and was able to walk up to a table. Seated quickly and food came fast and hot, I had the vegan noodles which was essentially noodles with shredded carrot and cabbage in sauce, tasty for what it was and would stop here again if I’m a hurry for quick food.

Extremely tasty,freshly cooked Chinese food - Edit
Very friendly service from our lovely waiter, lovely seating out of the midday sun, and ice cold beers! Clearly marked veggie/vegan options on the menu, I ordered the veggie samosas, and soring rolls (served 2) as starters which were very hot and crispy served with sweet chilli sauce followed by veggie noodles which were absolutely delicious and also freshly cooked. My partner had the beef in black bean which he said was fabulously cooked. A great dining experience in Valletta! 😍

Bad💀💀💀 - Edit
So bad. Service slow. Server was avoiding us. The food is really really bad, flavourless. Raw tofu with boiled rice and not veg 💀 so slow to get to the table when they didn’t have many costumers and the food isn’t very elaborate

Mediocre Asian food - Edit
I ordered the tofu bao buns which were lovely, I also enjoyed the ambience of the outside area. However I agree with the other reviews - my main dish was very bland (had the broccoli with cashew nuts and steamed rice) and was overpriced for what we got. I would stick with the starter options. Used the customer bathroom which was awful - very unhygienic which made me worry about hygiene of the kitchen. Would not return.
Read morePros: Nice ambience (outside seating area), Starter dish nice
Cons: Expensive for what you get, Main dish lacking any flavour , Customer bathroom

uhm - Edit
we went here so we could take part in the discussion here.
Read morewe came here a bit biased because of the reviews, so the expectations were low.
we ordered two dishes to share: peanut butter noddles and vegan dumplings. Id say bot were fine, but not particularly special.
service could be better.
the location of the place was a bit different than shown in the map, near ‘de bono coffee’.

Really bad. - Edit
It was a bad experience in many ways.
Read moreCons:
- The vegan menu is MUCH smaller than the photos listed, there are maybe 5 dishes vegan
- The drinks menu looked like a 9 year old’s school project after just discovering Word fonts
- The drink I ordered never came so I had to ask for it 20 minutes after all of my friends drink’s came
- The waiter then delivered me the incorrect drink that I had now asked for twice
- The food took at least 1hr 45m to all arrive… we were one of 5 tables the whole time and we hadn’t ordered a lot so that’s crazy slow
- The food was essentially greasy Chinese food for fine-dining prices
- Almost all of it was served quite cold, luke-warm at absolute best, this made the spicy beef inedible
- The rice we ordered came cold and burnt, with a crispy layer over the whole top
- I ordered Pak Choi and was given chopped up limp cabbage, when I questioned the waitress she told me they didn’t have any pak choi so they gave me cabbage instead… not the same thing at all and they should’ve at least notified me of the change or told me when I was ordering that they didn’t have any??
- My friend’s noddles were very burnt in places, patches were inedible
- The worst part by absolute far though is the customer bathroom… words cannot describe. I would genuinely rather cut off my own arm than use it. Clearly this business has no concern for hygiene whatsoever and seeing it gave me great concerns for the state of the kitchen.
Pros:
- The owner of the business was serving some of the other customers and seemed very friendly
- The owner’s dog was also present and was very willing to be petted
- Although most of the food was really quite bad and came out cold, the veg spring rolls and spicy chilli tofu were good but certainly not worth a 1 hour 45 min wait on a quiet day
- The waitress that served us for the most part was also nice, the other attending staff member was less than useless however
Pros: Outside seating, Good drinks selection
Cons: Expensive , Poor quality , Ridiculous wait times

Terrible food and slow service - Edit
Took 45 minutes to get a plate for bland, uninspiring “peanut noodles”. Would absolutely avoid unless you have no other choice. At least they have quiet a few vegan options!

Man muss seeeehr viel Zeit mitbringen - Edit
Leider hat das Essen obwohl es eigentlich nur 30 Minuten dauern sollte, eine Stunde gedauert. Die Bedienungen sind eher unaufmerksam und auf die Möglichkeit zu bezahlen, wartet man dann auch nochmal ewig. Das Essen war ok.

Great food! - Edit
Recommend reading the menu properly. A lot of the vegan options are listed as part of a list. (For example bao buns are chicken, beef or tofu. But reads as if these are all the ingredients in the bun).
Read moreHighly recommend the tofu bao buns, veg spring rolls, veg noddles.
Really high quality food, outdoor seating (with shade) and great music being played!
Pros: Lots of options , Outside, shaded seating

Avoid!! - Edit
I got sold on this place by the previous review, but it's awful. The previous reviewer clearly didn't go to No.43...
Read moreThere are not many vegan options and the ones they do have are extremely expensive for ting portions. Tiny portion of broccoli alone cost €6.80!!! Rice not included
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Expensive, Tiny portions, Few options

Some of the best vegan food in Valletta. - Edit
Absolutely loved the food here. Enjoyed it so much that we came back the following day. Everything seems very freshly prepared and whilst this does mean that you can wait a little longer to receive it, the quality of the food makes it worth it. They have quite a few vegan options on the menu which are clearly labelled, and I’d suggest ordering a few different dishes and sharing them. Some of my favourites included the tofu boa buns, the sweet chilli aubergine, the vegetable dumplings and the ‘plain’ noodles (which come in a delicious peanut sauce and were anything but plain), although honestly everything we tried here was fantastic. The only thing which I thought was a bit bland was the vegetable noodles, so I’d probably suggest skipping these. One area of improvement would be that I do think the staff could be a little more upbeat, but other than that I really can’t complain and it was by far one of my favourite places to eat during my stay in Valletta.
Read morePros: Many vegan options, clearly labelled, Freshly prepared, Fantastic flavours

Wasn’t serving vegan food - Edit
We were really excited to eat here and we came the day of noitte Bianca several hours before the festival started and they informed us they wouldn’t be serving until 6 pm despite what the opening hours were. So we went next door to the food mart and shared an amazing vegan tofu dish from the philipeano booth that they made vegan specially for us. We came back at 6 because we were hard craving dim sum and again they said oh we aren’t serving until 7. So we went around enjoying the festival and came back at around 9 at which point they were serving food but only a set menu, no vegan options. Really disappointed ☹️
