Located in a great spot but not my favourite restaurant. We recently ordered takeout from here and…read morewe're not satisfied with the food at all. Wonton soup, kebabs, spicy beef and Shanghai noodles. Everything was either over spiced or flavourless. Kebabs were very good though. I can't speak for any other dishes but with how everything else was I can't imagine we'd go back for a second try.

Came on Saturday after grocery shopping. The place was empty. Which was a surprise at lunch hour…read more We were greated with enthusiasm. No Menus on table. When asked were shown the digital ordering system. Pretty easy to use. Free tea. I wanted hot tea & daughter tried the cold version. Cold tea was delicious but a little too sweet so she added some water. We ordered Bento box. Mine with vegan kangpao chicken. Hers was black pepper tofu. Food - delicious Price - Moderate Ambience - very relaxed. Service - 5 star As we were leaving another couple arrived. If you into chinese style vegan food do try this place

I am not a vegetarian, but I do like Vegetables. Padmandadi does this well…read more The place itself is relaxing, and I love the family photos around the restaurant and the enormous Buddah statue. It is a lovely atmosphere to catch up with friends. Our server was polite and well mannered. They have a great lunch deal as well. I went with the Spicy Eggplant with coconut rice - Chinese eggplant quartered and stir-fried in a sweet and savory chili sauce. My friend chose this as well. We also started with the Roti Canai -Grilled Indonesian flatbread served with a curry dipping sauce. This is my favourite dish on the menu. I usually order this. Both dishes were excellent and fresh. I love the flakey roti and the dipping sauce has the right amount of curry in it. The eggplant was tasty as well and perfectly cooked. It came with rice (we chose coconut rice for an extra dollar) and a spring roll. The spring roll was crunchy and filled with veggies. All together a great meal.

My boyfriend and I came here to meet up with friends. I've only heard good things about this place…read morethrough my boyfriend but after spending one dinner here, I can see why. We got a bunch of entrees, I honestly can't remember every single thing we got but it all tasted delicious. We ordered the Lemon Chicken Prawns, Crispy Chicken Strips, the Curry Chicken, Dendeng, and a noodle dish that I forgot the name of. I really liked how everything was served family style. Everything I tasted was a hit. I loved the crisp and texture of the Chicken Strips, as well as the Lemon Chicken Prawns. The Curry Chicken was flavorful, creamy, and had a little kick from the spice but it was great. The Dendeng was great too, loved the sauce that covered it. I'm also really impressed by the different veggie meats they used in all of the dishes, they all tasted good. Service was fast and all the servers were so thoughtful and accommodating. We also met the owner and he was so kind. We had a good time at the end getting to know each other. From our time here, we were met with very down to earth people here. I'll have to come back and try their buffet next time. Thank you for taking care of us! We loved it, consider us lifetime fans!

Good Stock has become one of my favourite vegan spots in Edmonton. I've been here quite a few times…read morenow and I've never been disappointed. In fact, since they've opened, they've only gotten better. They now offer great options for catering and to-go. You can buy an entire lasagna or casserole for a really reasonable price. Great for those nights you really don't feel like cooking. My favourite menu item by far is the buffalo chickpea wrap. I love that they choose to use more natural ingredients for their food rather than opting for processed fake meats. This wrap is spicy and hearty and it comes with your choice of side. I don't think I've ever finished my meal in one sitting. The portions are very generous. My second favourite would have to be the loaded taco bowl. If you're looking for a healthier, gluten-free option, this is it! It is a taco salad on a bed of kale and basmati rice. The ground "meat" (made from walnuts) and their cashew sour cream are SO close to the real thing. Another awesome thing about Good Stock is that they make their own vegan cheese. I always end up taking a one of them to-go (the truffle one is my fave).

The other reviews are very positive for Good Stock but I think that you need to be a vegetarian to…read moretruly appreciate appreciate it. I ordered soup (what else do you order from a place called Good Stock?) and a bagle. Certainly the soup was hardy and it was good but not in the same league as the Prairie Soup Company. The bagle was excellent. It was covered with a generous spread of jam and the jam tasted like home made. Their menu is large and should have something to thrill most vegetarians. There are lots of tables so bring all of your veggie friends. Service was very friendly in a genuine sort of way which is certainly appreciated. If you are looking for a casual place to take your veggie friends this could be it. Did I mention that the jam was excellent?

The wife and I are on a cleanse where we have a diet plan. 12 days we have to get creative to keep…read moreeating fun. Today we were on the south side and decided to hit up Copper Branch. Wife got the Aztec bowl while I got the Asian fusion. I must say, this is one of my favorite vegan restaurants in the city. Consistently very tasty. Service was great and prompt. They were out of quite a few things but I wont hold that against them too much. It was around lunch and had a normal lunchtime feel. Very clean and well lit. Definitly hits the wallet nicely though. It's not cheap eating healthy, haha! Definitely recommend checking this place out if you haven't already. Definitely a nice change from other places. Replenish the body!!!

I'm actually surprised at all the poor reviews. I actually prefer this to the other "popular"…read moreplant-based restaurant. I used to come here fairly often when I lived nearby. Since moving quite far away, I haven't had the chance in probably 3 years ish. To me, the fact that my 'go-to' is just as delicious as I remember speaks to consistency. I ordered the Aztec bowl with Tempeh. Pretty delicious- lots of different textures which is always what I like in a bowl. Service is good enough- it's a walk up type service, so you don't need much. They provide cups and a sink to fill your water yourself. They were sold out of many things, but fortunately not what I came for haha. Inside it has a quick service vibe like Freshii or Chopped Leaf. Decently clean, but I did see someone have to ask for napkins to clean their own table off before sitting. The only additional note I'll say is eating healthier is so expensive haha. Two bowls were just shy of $40.

One of the coolest things that I have noticed in recent years has been the evolution and expansion…read moreof plant-based restaurants in Edmonton. When you think about "vegetarian fare" this will inevitably conjure images of hippy restaurants that serve one type of food (a bowl of vegetables?). Maybe this was once the case but it certainly isn't anymore. (I think that Padmanadi had a large part to play in this development and that they paved the way for a wider selection of plant-based foods in our city.) Today, you can find restaurants from all cultures that specialize in plant-based cuisine and even pub food and pizza! I support this movement and love constantly being proven that animal products are not necessary to make delicious food. And this is coming from a staunch omnivore who clearly eats everything. Good food is just good food! One of the restaurants that has been making waves in this arena is An Chay, a Vietnamese vegetarian restaurant that has been around since 2017. Their name literally means eat vegetarian! Located in Oliver on Jasper Ave, they are in a prime location to feed bustling downtown folk a different take on Vietnamese cuisine. Avenue Magazine named them Best Plant-Based Restaurant 2020 and I couldn't wait to taste their take on some classic and familiar dishes. As previously mentioned, their location is quite excellent on a prime corner in the center of the city. Inside you'll find a fresh space that is filled with bright windows. I loved the pendant lighting adorning the ceiling that look a bit like lanterns. Some of the tables have very cozy chairs that beckon you to really settle in. I was seated at such a table and enjoyed the casual cafe vibe of it all. Our server was incredibly friendly, delivering plates of food to our table in hardly any time at all. For a beverage I went straight for the Burdock Tea ($2.00) which seemed like the most unique thing to order on the menu apart from the Vietnamese iced coffee. I enjoyed how different this was! This tea was not the typical green-jasmine situation that is normally found at Asian restaurants. I could see the pieces of burdock root steeping in the pot, an ingredient known for its antioxidant properties. The nice earthy flavour was something all its own and very pleasant to drink. The food menu is somewhat concise with only five appetizers and ten entrees to choose from. There is no need for more! I would much prefer that a restaurant does a smaller number of dishes really well, instead of offering way too many without being able to maintain quality. Spring rolls and fresh rolls make key appearances on the appetizer menu, as does a green onion cake (it's the Edmonton way). But I was most excited about the Green Papaya Salad (Green papaya, soy jerky, basil, sriracha sauce, roasted peanuts and fried onions. Served with house soy sauce - $14.00) otherwise known as Goi Du Du. I love a zesty green papaya salad that is full of spice! It would be easy to serve a green papaya salad as a plant-based dish - that's already what it is! But I really liked seeing that An Chay is taking this dish to the next level by using ingredients like soy jerky. I appreciated seeing that they are leaning into what it is that makes their food unique and special. This salad was so fresh and had excellent texture. We poured the house soy sauce over top to kick the flavours up even more. Sweet, savoury, and a hint of spice. I loved the soy jerky most of all because of the wonderful pork floss-like texture. Choosing an entree was easy because the dish that I wanted to try seemed so obvious. It had to be the Vermicelli Special (Vermicelli, tempura, shredded beancurd, spring rolls, shredded lettuce, cucumber, mint leaf, pickled daikon & carrots, red cabbage, roasted peanuts, fried onions. Served with vinaigrette sauce - $17.00) otherwise known as Bun 3 Mau. However, An Chay does offer their own take on pho and their coconut curry sounds wonderful. Plated with an artistic hand, the beauty of this dish with its stunning rainbow of colours was a sight to behold. You eat with your eyes first and this dish couldn't have been more appealing. I poured the tangy vinaigrette over the entire bowl and reveled in the symphony of flavours. I loved the pops of cool freshness from the mint, acidity from the daikon and carrots, and crunch from the peanuts and fried onions. I noticed a delightful coconut flavour that I think was mixed in with the shredded beancurd. One perplexing ingredient was the tempura. I think that "tempura" refers to the pan fried item that looked a bit like SPAM (only it wasn't). I'm not sure what this ingredient was but I loved it (if someone had told me that it was meat I would have believed them). I also absolutely adored the spring rolls (cha gio) because again An Chay took an item that I've had a million times but made it their own. Filled with bean thread noodles, fried beancurd, taro, yam, and mung bean; the ultra crispy exterior almost reminded me of a frie
