Nice little restaurant - Edit
The restaurant itself was slightly hidden, but once you get there, it's definitely worth it. There are plenty of dishes to choose from and I ended up with the meal of the day. The food was tasty and the place was super quiet. I would def recommend!

Quiet - Edit
It was very quiet when we had lunch. We struggled to choose from the long menu so we went for one of the daily specials. The food was tasty.

awful service - Edit
okay so it was a while ago that i came here but they served me bad food. i ordered one of the combo plates with a veggie and a rendang. i was pretty excited to try it but it tasted off. so when i told the owner, his attitude was a bit churlish and he didn't seem to want to believe me. he replaced the rendang after tasting mine and i ate it, but in hindsight i probably should have made more of an issue about it. would i go there again? maybe. because of the number of options they have.

Simple and tasty - Edit
There are 3 lunch set options for 14 ringgit. Today it was either mock fish, chicken or duck with tofu, rice and green vegetables. Price also included a big class of warm soymilk. The food doesn't look much but is tasty. Everything was well prepared and seasoned.

Better options in town. - Edit
I went there once for lunch. It was not bad but I would no go back. Food average but service was bad. Felt like I was not spending enough money ordering just one plate.

Tasty traditional Malaysian/Chinese food - Edit
We were lucky to have this restaurant next door to our hotel (1000 Miles Hotel) so we could pop in and out in no time. The food came out piping hot and fast, and everything was very tasty. Upon arrival the lady tells us the whole menu is vegan, so we are impressed by the variety. We were still full from a massive lunch at Sala, so ordered a BBQ bun to share and a red bean bun to share - both very good and like the real deal. We also ordered Belacan Kangkong which was great and very close to the real deal (belacan is traditionally shrimp paste), as well as the Hokkien Mee. We also ordered Ma Po Tofu (because we are addicted to this ever since eating it in China) but we were so full we couldn't finish everything. All tasty, the service fast and friendly, very good price - will come here again!

All vegan authentic Malaysian food - Edit
On arrival they informed us that their whole menu is completely vegan. They have a huge variety of traditional Malaysian dishes containing delicious mock meat. We tried a few different dishes such as grilled eggplant and chili „chicken“ and everything was amazing! The staff is really friendly and they were genuinely happy when we told them that the food was amazing and that we love their vegan concept. Lastly, the food is really cheap.

Local food with different mock meat options. - Edit
We went there and had the BBQ bun as a starter, which was amazing. For main dish we had two different mock meat options with steamed rice. One was with tofu ("chicken") and a spicy chili sauce and the other one was grilled eggplant with saitan in a soy sauce. Both dishes tasted very good and we got the chance to get to know the traditional style of malay food!

Salty and bland - Edit
I didn't have any problems with service - the female waitress was quite friendly. However if I'm totally honest, the food tasted only very salty, and bland.
Read moreI had braised bean curd, vegetable noodles, and a BBQ bun. Unfortunately I wouldn't really recommend. Sorry!

Yuck - Edit
Ordered BBQ buns and two noodle soups. The buns were really nice.
Read moreWhen the first veg noodle soup came it looked so little like the picture we burst out laughing.
Noodles were the yellow packet kind and they were still crunchy, hadn't been cooked through. The sauce was clear water thickened with flour to the consistency of honey. Hardly a vegetable in sight. Yuck.
The other soup was too spicy to eat. I'd asked for non spicey and been told it was non spicy, so to get something hotter than Thai Tom Yam was a surprise.
I could probably eat a raw green bird's-eye chilli if I had to. This soup, I could not eat.
We asked for the bill and thought no more of it until the chef came out and started arguing with us.
We kept insisting that we just wanted to pay the bill and leave but he just stood there protesting about the food.
There was a moment when he didn't speak for around 5 seconds. He just leaned over our table and bared his teeth. I thought it was gonna get violent. Then he stormed off to the corner and a miserable Chinese lady slapped the bill down. We overpaid because we didn't have the right change and we felt very threatened. We just wanted to leave as quickly as possible.
Horrible experience.
Pros: Great BBQ buns
Cons: No love for the soups, Felt threatened , Horrible customer service

100% vegan, tasty, cheap! - Edit
Was pleased to discover this place just around the corner from our hotel and to be greeted with 'we are now completely vegan' as we walked in.
Read moreI can see why people say the restaurant is a little odd - it certainly is if you're comparing to Western places however quite typical of an Asian restaurant and certainly has a more authentic feel.
Staff very nice although we were the only ones in there and at times did feel like we were being a little watched.
We ended up getting carried away and ordering several things, our favourite probably being the steamed pao buns (we went back the next day to get more as a snack!)
There were a LOT of mock meats - however I have never been a fan of the taste of fish and so do not want to emulate that and a lot of the dishes are 'fish'. But if mock meats are your thing then this is your place! Also a lot of the dishes are deep-fried.
Very reasonably priced with 4 pao buns, 2 sides, 1 main and 2 bottles of water costing £12.
Pros: Cheap, Tasty food
Cons: Food mostly fried, Slightly strange atmosphere...

Quick & cheap - Edit
Comparable to Wan Fo Yuan, but also offers some set menus and a dish of the day. Contrary to the review below, I actually quite liked the fish menu with greens and tofu. Not bland at all. Would recommend. Staff is very friendly and speaks good English.

Nice but not great - Edit
I had on of the day special (14 ringgit), soy fish with black beans sauce. The "fish" was kinda nice, the rest of the plate was rice, bok choi and tofu which didn't have much taste. Unlikely some people here, I didn't feel like a weird atmosphere.

Delicious vegan food, especially the lunch buffet - Edit
Went there a couple of times for lunch and it was always really tasty and with many different dishes to choose from. Also a nice atmosphere, the staff was really friendly and the prices (at least for the buffet) are more than reasonable. I definitely recommend the place!

Weird place, nice food - Edit
Like some of the older reviews mentioned - this place / the service can be pretty odd. We ordered the set menu from the specials board which was quick and good value.
Read moreWould like to have ordered some dishes from menu to share but the whole experience was really awkward- we asked if we could have a couple of minutes to read the menu and the man said yes but just stood there the whole time looking at us. We still ended up going back though so don’t let that put you off, I guess you’ll just know what to expect now!

Cute little veggie restaurant - Edit
A Buddhist owned restaurant that is almost 100% vegan (bar a couple of drinks on the menu!) The staff seemed rude at first but as we got to know them they were very sweet and the food is fantastic!

Nice place - Edit
Big food selection and pretty decent food. Try the Pao (steamed buns) as usually they have meat but here they’re all Veg friendly! Not much atmosphere but these places never usually do, more of a functional place to eat some good Chinese veg food. Mock duck looked great but ordered the spicy veg rice myself which was tasty and really nice and spicy!
Read morePros: All veg , Good food
Cons: Careful of hidden egg vegans

amazing mock meat - Edit
I got the spicy chicken rice which came to under 10 ringgits so wasn’t too expensive but not cheap. The portions were slightly small but my friend and I were amazed at how good the mock meat chicken was: it tasted delicious!

Great lunch buffet - Edit
Went here twice during our 3 day stay in KL. The lunch buffet was great! Everything was vegan too. They make really good mock meat dishes, as well as curries, veggies and tofu and it is all served with rice. You pay for the amount of food, we each put loads of food on our plates and it only cost us 10 RM each. It was pretty full one of the days tho, so if you like a quiet environment I can recommend coming early (like 11 or something) like we did the first day.

Quick and freshly prepared - Edit
Staff helped me find a dish without mock meat. The spicy eggplant with mushrooms was perfect. Freshly prepared and fast. (Restaurant is across the street from LOKL Coffee). I would go back.

Delightful - Edit
We had a great dinner here. At first we were hesitant to go, as Google had mistakenly reported that it was permanently closed. They assured us on the phone it was not, so we went. We were glad we did. The Google error was subsequently corrected. The meal was excellent. The server and proprietor/chef were very friendly. The place is spacious and comfortable. We also had some of the cookies on sale - they were delicious as well.
