Viet Chay Vegetarian Cuisine

Hidden gem for vegetarians and lovers of Vietnamese cuisine. The food is authentic and made with lots of care. I highly recommend the papaya salad which is crispy, flavourful and aromatic. The bun bo hue which is a spicy noodle soup is also a stand out dish with a tangy and spicy soup base which will make you want to drink it all up. The curry is thick, hearty, with lots of veggie meat and vegetables and goes well with some rice noodles. It is made with coconut milk which really rounds it out. They even took a custom order request for dry rice noodle salad topped with spring rolls and veggie meat. The staff is super amazing here too. Our host Matt, made us really feel like family. He even helped occupy our two kids to let us eat uninterrupted. Our kids really loved him and he has a good heart. Looking forward to coming back.

We went to this seemingly whole in the wall one day with little to no expectations and we were blown away by the food and the hospitality. We ordered serval items from the menu and it felt as if the owners had invited us into their homes for a dinner and were taking care of us. We had great conversations from the moment we entered the small but very clean and welcoming restaurant to the moment we left. We appreciated how they walked us through the menu and helped us get an understanding of Viet dishes, what to order, and expect. We would recommend to get multiple dishes to try out different apps and items because everything was delicious. My boyfriend especially enjoyed the chicken wings and he’s not vegan, so those I would say are a must try. If you are into crunchy foods, I recommend the wontons as well. We will be back to try out more of the menu.

Clean, fast service and delicious vegan food. We ordered Spicy Mock beef rice noodles soup, Hot spicy mock beef yellow noodles soup, crispy fried king mushroom and Stirred Rice fried with mock beef & vegetables. Loved what we ordered and coming back to try other foods on the menu for sure. A Gem for vegan foodies

Definitely a vegan restaurant you want to go to if you are visiting Toronto. Everything was delicious! The fried sticky rice appetizer was my favorite, but everything we had was great. We have loved how much vegan food there is in this city, but this is a truly unique place. I've never had anything like it. We drove 30 minutes to get there, and honestly would drive twice as far to eat here again.

What a gem of a find! This unpretentious little place in a strip mall on Wilson belies the delicious tastes that await you. I tried the rice rolls fresh, cold rolls, the “shrimp”, noodles with mock meat and veg, and the King Mushrooms. Everything was absolutely delicious. The veg in the noodles were fresh and not over cooked, the sauce was sublime. The “shrimp” isn’t something I would normally order but it was prepared in a traditional way with tomato and I would definitely order it again. The mushrooms were delicious as with most water based, fried veggies, they are best consumed at the table and not taken home and the rice rolls were large and yummy two in an order. I have sausage in a leaf of some sort and BBQ pieces if I think gluten which I will try later. I will update this post if they are a miss, otherwise assume they were a hit as well! I will definitely make the drive to this place again! Absolutely delicious.

Amazing homely service from both Matt and Vicky. The food Vicky cooked was delicious! I got the fried mushrooms and the vegetable yellow noodles. I wish I had a bigger stomach so I could order more! Matt served me his home made healthy tea which was very delightful. They were also very welcoming and friendly to my meat eating fiancé. The regular customers inside were also lovely to us. I can’t wait to go back again when I’m in the area! It’s so difficult to find a great vegan Asian food place and I finally found one!

I only found out about this place less than a week ago on social media. When I looked at the menu I saw several vegan/vegetarian dishes I haven’t had since I was in Vietnam I knew I had to try it. I was not disappointed. The food was great and the owner was super friendly. I especially enjoyed the BBQ Duck, Crispy Fried Kingmushrooms and the broth in the Pho was fabulous. Highly recommended.

I came here with my grandma for lunch. She was hesitant because she wanted vegan food and the sign says vegetarian but I came in and spoke with the owner who assured me the food is both vegetarian and vegan! Perfect! So we came inside and she ordered the papaya salad and number 42 on the menu and loved it! The owner is extremely nice and accommodating as my grandmother has high blood pressure, she requested no salt in her meal and she raved about how amazing it is. We will definitely be back again!

Husband and I ate here because he was craving for a vegan food to try : Glad I agreed, food was delicious and Vicky really entertained us. We ordered vegan lobster, vegan bbq and stir-fried assorted vegetables. She gave us Japanese seaweed soup to try and it’s spot on! Would definitely come back.

Great vegan restaurant, definite hidden gem like what others said. Small seating space so check in with them. Also just started a few months ago so support local. Very unique dishes and loved the seaweed soup the best dish we had! Had fried sticky rice appetizer which also had a mock meat sausage delicious and Singapore vermicelli noodles. Great mock meats too.
