What a not so hidden gem of a vegetarian/ vegan restaurant right here in Vancouver! We came here on a STAT Holiday during its happy hour and must have just missed the lunch rush the reservations were sold out when we were trying to make one the day before, but it worked out perfectly as we were able to soak in the restaurant and all of its ambience in a quieter atmosphere with a window-side table.nnWe got Do Chay Tea Cocktail & the Spicy Guava Marg that were on Happy Hour, and they were both soooo yummy we had to refrain ourselves from accidentally drinking them too fast The appetizer, Uncle Hing’s Wings came out so fast, and we were so happy that the other reviews absolutely did not lead us astray: The. Hype. Is. Real !!! The wings though I would almost contend that the shape, since its oyster mushrooms, resemble less of wings than cauliflowers were crispy and hot temperature wise- what I loved the most about them was that they didn’t lose the crunchy exterior even when they were coated in the delicious sweet and spicy sauce. We almost wanted to order another plate, but were so glad we didn’t because the entrees ended up being HUGE. LOL. They are generous with their portions!!!nnWe got The Southern Style Dry Noodles & Sweet & Spicy Fish Fillets as our entrees, and while they were still good, I felt like they didn’t wow us the same way the wings did. The noodles were a bit under flavoured, while the fish fillets were a bit overflavoured, which has been my main criticism sometimes when it comes to vegetarian/ vegan dishes: the sauces become the star of the show, and they drown out any texture or flavour of the ingredients that make up the dishes. On the other hand, I so desperately wanted to like the noodles we had a similar dish in Viet Family, another vegan Vietnamese restaurant in town, and it blew our minds, but felt like the sauce didn’t really permeate or carry the noodles enough. These are all just my subjective tastes though, as everything was still amazing!!nnThe service I think/ suspect our server was also the manager? There was only one person when we came in, and they made the drinks for us as well was amazing- attentive, kind, and checked up on us throughout the meal.nnWe would definitely return, and I wanted to come back for the wings alone, plus perhaps some other dishes we didn’t get to try I’m looking at you, Satay Noodles
On a visit to Vancouver for work and after looking for vegan places to try I am SO happy I got a reservation at Do Chay. My non-vegan family loved the food as well which is a win win for me!nnI was blown away by all of the dishes we tried green beans, wings were AMAZING, coconut rice cakes, eggplant and fish special. Fresh and flavourful! Staff were super sweet as well.nnFast surgery and beautiful vibes!
Extremely friendly atmosphere and the Hostess/Server Jade exceeded all our expectations. Starters were great and the main course dishes were good. Restroom was extremely clean but then it had just opened so I was super lucky. Got crystal dumplings and coconut rice cakes. Had similar starters at other Thai restaurants whose portion size was significantly larger. For the main course, got lemongrass vermicelli and Black garlic eggplant. They could have added more spice, not just hot sauce. But again the server was super nice. Server got house sauce that had flavor and spice. Overall great restaurant that I would visit again to try other stuff.
Do Chay is a cozy, intimate spot, definitely one to make reservations for ahead of time.nnWe ordered the Uncle Hing’s wings, pomelo salad, bánh xèo crepe, and crispy “ish” fish fillets. My favorites were the pomelo salad and the bánh xèo crepe.nnThe salad was incredibly fresh, with a great mix of textures. The tartness of the pomelo paired nicely with the herbal brightness of rau ram. The bánh xèo was a solid dish overall: light, fresh, and not overpowering. I did feel like the crepe could have been a bit crispier for more texture variety, though might be a limitation of the turmeric rice flour.nnThe “fish” fillet and Hing’s wings leaned a bit heavy for me personally, likely from the oil and the sauces.
Khoi, who took my call and served us, was nothing short of superb. He remembered our call, my corn/wheat allergy, name, and went over the menu to ensure what I could eat. The food was absolutely delicious and made to perfection - served hot and flavours were so balanced! Thank you so much and will return!
