Lotus Pond Vegetarian Restaurant

Amazing veggie/vegan Chinese food dishes. After going vegan 5 years ago I’ve dreamed of enjoying saucy and delicious chow mein noodles again… this fits the bill. I wish there were more places like this. Great service, very friendly. Two of us got the two item combo and it was perfect, not pictured was two spring rolls. Highly recommend and will be back again!

Pretty good price for all the food we got! Although was not a big fan of the sweet and sour sauce, tasted a little too gingery and watered down for me. Loved all the mock meat options offered though, would buy from again!

the mock meat is very impressive. the service was super fast and friendly. couldn’t be more pleased! we ordered combos: the tofu, pineapple balls, and mock chicken were superb!

I rode my bicycle to Lotus Pond from Vic West. I spoke to Laithe on the phone as I made my order. As I have remarked in my earlier review of Affinity Vegetarian Garden, it is uncommon to find a completely vegan Chinese restaurant. Lotus Pond does a plant-based spin on the Americanized Chinese classic. I was not in love with the packaging, but I appreciate their desire to keep everyone safe by restricting their dine in services. I enjoyed the meal, encouraging anyone who is considering Chinese takeout, to opt for Lotus Pond.

Delicious food. The texture of mock duck was on point. Turnip cakes were good. I wasn't impressed with the wanton soup. Don't expect cheap & greasy Chinese fare. The food here is homey yet sophisticated, without feeling too healthful.

Excellent Vegan Asian food! Loved the noodle soups, Schezwan tofu, Chow mien and everything we ate there. Good customer service also the stewardess was patient in taking our order and helpful. Heads up : Take out only - no Dine in Vegetarian options: All vegan menu.

Their signature Turnip Cakes are excellent. Long menu of choices. No onion or garlic used. I took away one order of turnip cakes 3 cakes, a very good deal for $5.50, Pan-fried Mixed Vegetables in Crushed Ginger Sauce $12.95, and Mushroom Fried Rice $14.95. All really good, mild flavour, generous portions. Pleasant, friendly people.

Favourite takeout place in town, love that everything is vegan but omnivores love it too. My favourite dishes are the turnip cakes, Szechuan chili eggplant, Ginger B, and any dish with bean curd layers. I appreciate how much care they take in wrapping the to-go orders up to prevent spilling!

So delicious, filling and nourishing!!!! The service was SUPER KIND AND FRIENDLY and the place is very clean and inviting! I’m a vegetarian who doesn’t really like most meat alternatives, so I was a little skeptical! But I found everything we ordered super tasty and satisfying. It’s also very freeing as a vegetarian to be able to order ANYTHING off the menu ! I ordered the turnip cake because many reviews had recommended it, but it wasn’t my favourite! We went for lunch combos rather than the buffet and I’m happy we did! It comes with soup, rice, and spring rolls. The wonton soup, pork balls, and chicken balls were THE BEST! Not your average greasy American-Chinese food! Would totally eat here again!!!

Great food, good prices, and friendly staff!!! The lunch buffet is awesome!!! The food is fresh and they have a big variety of dishes. All the dishes are vegetarian and you don't even miss meat. All well seasoned and worm. It can get pretty busy at lunchtime. You can also order from the menu.
