Lunchtime Vegan CHOICE!!

OK - again with the hours.....
If you're in the city centre, for lunch time, this place just pumps through the line-up.
Many chefs cooking away to ensure quick yummy food - in the pocket sized takeaway.
You can sit-in, however you need to aim for pre/post lunchtime rush.
This place is to pump out Thai vegan, and I'm a big Thai fan, visiting Thailand constantly, its not a Thai restaurant.
Definitely a staple if you're in need for tasty, reliable, vegan food - and being Thai - super bonus points.
Hobart is lucky for this place :-)
Limited selection from bane-marie, however full of flavour, quick, and literally replaced constantly because the selection is quickly emptied.
Definite winner!
My favourite - but only at lunch hours

Pros: Tasty and delicious, Good value , Quick - and did I say super tasty!!!!

Vegan staple

Have been here countless times now, absolute must try for any vegan/vegetarian in Hobart, quick and well priced food that is always delicious, sometimes popular enough to form a large line, but the staff are quick and keep it moving.

Lots of corriander used, and if you are terminally fussy about that like me you might have an issue, but I love it anyway

Pros: Quick, Well priced , Good variety

Cons: Not a place to go with a large group

Amazing food, Quick and Easy.

Perfect place for a quick weekday (or Saturday) lunch. Food is always super tasty and staff are super friendly. All food on display is 100% vegan. I’ve been here a few times now and can confirm it is always well worth the visit.

Really good food. Majority of items vegan

Small shop that’s really busy at lunch time but service is super quick! Medium take-away is 2 x dish options with rice or noodles for $11.80. The majority of items are vegan and are listed on the menu as such. Food is delicious too. Will definitely be going back!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Fast service , Decent pricing

Shame its not 100%

Good little cafe, shame it isn’t 100% vegan, as I usually use the vegan filter. Found it the day i fly out.

Good value, tasty

My favourite quick meal in cbd. On a nice day I like to eat my TVH meal in the courtyard outside. Loved every dish I have had so far.

Pros: Quick, tasty, vegan.

Cons: Small, but can go to courtyard.

Good, cheap lunch

We came here for lunch and found a seat in the small space. I ordered from the bain-maries and chose the stir fry with vegan duck, the Mapo tofu, and the green curry ($12.80 for the three dishes plus rice), all very good and seemingly quite fresh, although one of my companions found the tofu a bit salty. My companions with lesser appetites ordered combos of two dishes ($10.80) and one dishes ($8.80) dish. I like that there are two cute veg lunch spots in this little mall, and it’d be a regular for me if I were a local.

Pros: Tasty and fresh , Cheap, Cute space

A bain-marie place. Food is very tasty. Kids had curry puffs, and wife and I had curries. Everyone enjoyed. Food is reasonably priced too.

Pros: Fast, Tasty, Relatively inexpensive

Cons: Not much space to sit at peak lunch times, No salad option

Had to q down the arcade at lunch today. Service was quick - food delicious.

Selected 2 of the 3 vegan Bain Marie meals in offer, with vegetables & noodles. Very different flavours & textures, both good.

Quick and easy

Usually a favorite of mine for quick and tasty Asian veggie food. Tried top go yesterday and they had no gf options. If they do have gf it's limited option. They use a lot of mock meat which I don't love and is usually not gf

Pros: Consistent

Cons: Not enough gf

Simply lovely

I had a meal at a little vegetarian cafe in quite a picturesque lane called The Bank Arcade in Hobart a few weeks ago and I was very impressed by the aromatic, tasty meal I had. The service was friendly and courteous by the young Thai ladies who staff the place. Since that first visit since moving to Tasmania I have been back numerous times and have become quite addicted to vegetarian Thai food on offer. Simply lovely....you have won me.

Pros: variety of food, fast friendly service, location

Cons: Vegan 100% of the menu, Choice of egg if you want it on Pad Thai

One of my favourite places!!!

Super super delicious!!! And almost exclusively vegan; on very rare occasions they may prepare something with cow’s milk, and even they do so they clearly indicate it.

Pros: Amazing taste, Almost completely vegan, Price

Bland Westernised Thai Food

If you love bland westernised Thai food with overcooked veges and dried tofu that tastes like you're chewing on a used dish cloth then this is the place for you!

I had a really hard time choosing what to have, not because it all looked so good, but because it all looked the same. I didn't want any rice so opted for 2 dishes - the green curry and the rendang curry. I expected it to be served up in something that separated the two, but it was all just plonked in one bowl so the sauces mixed. Before it became one bland coconut milk mess I managed to taste each sauce individually which was when I realise it didn't matter that the sauces were mixing because they were virtually identical (but if I had to choose the Rendang was the better of the two). The veges were overcooked, the curry paste clearly came from a tin (of which they used way to little), the coconut milk was not good (powdered perhaps?). There was a lot of dried tofu in it, but it was like eating a dirty dish sponge. The atmosphere is nice, but the gut ache I had after eating it that continued onto the next day was not pleasant (the coconut milk wasn't good).

When I think of Thai curry I think of the zesty, citrus tones of lemon grass and Kaffir lime with the warmth of ginger and the peppery notes of chilli and coriander root in a mellow coconut sauce with crisp vegetables and fresh tofu. Clearly the people who have given this place a high rating have never eaten real Thai food. If McDonalds made Thai curries this is what it would taste like. Unless, like me you were pressed for time don't eat here, in fact go next door to Woolworths and get a vegan protein bar - it will be more delicious and you won't feel sick afterwards. (I would have rated it half a star, but apparently HC automatically gives 1 star just because it's a vegan/veg cafe, so two stars is as low as you can go.)

Pros: Nice atmosphere.

Cons: Bland and overly fatty., Overcooked veges., It all looks and tastes the same

Tasty and fast

Delicious food. Fast service. Can be confusing when you first go and there are no menus so you need to look at your options when you get closer. So the line has to wait for you

An absolute favourite

An ever popular (expect a lineup at lunch time but not a long wait as it's very quick service) lunch spot in Hobart CBD. The best mock meat and tofu dishes in the city with a nice selection of changing dishes daily. The BBQ pork is a must! Seating can be limited due to the popularity of this place so be prepared to grab a takeaway or wait around. The couple of cruddy reviews on here are not at all warranted. Well worth a visit.

Pros: delicious, quick service, satisfying

Cons: very popular (limited seating at times)

My go-to lunch spot

The food here is great. They do the most delicious 'mock meat' dishes ever. Service is very fast and you can eat in or take away. A couple of dishes aren't vegan but vegetarian so it pays to ask. Vegan duck fried rice off the menu is v delish.

Pros: quick service

Cons: they run out of curry puffs at lunch

Good, affordable food

This was a good little place to stop for lunch with good prices - under $10 for a dish on noodles. Very quick. Food was tasty but quite sweet, not a huge variety but nice.

Pros: Affordable, Quick, Tasty

Cons: Very sweet, limitted range, not great for eating in
