I hate to post a negative review but I feel like it is very deserving in this case. SERVICE: I came at the start of Sunday brunch amd asked the waitress if I could get a half stack of the pancakes (because I was also getting the omelette). I feel like this is not an unusual request and she could have simply said no, but she responded back with some attitude of disdain and begrudgingly said yes. Later, I overheard her and the kitchen staff ridiculing me about my request, and it occurred to me that she must've forgot that she had seated me in the cheap seats right by the kitchen. Either that or she knowingly made such comments. FOOD: I got the peach and onion omelette and the tiramisu pancakes. The omelette was pretty dry and flavorless, and the pancakes were average. They also came with very little toppings, leaving me to scrape at the plate for chocolate and berry sauce for something to accompany the second pancake. OVERALL: I left with a very bad impression and would not recommend this place, especially to a solo individual dining alone. read more

Excellent food and service and this was our first Vegan experience. Good ambiance too!

Perfect, delicious, great service, so fresh, beautiful space, clean bathrooms, all you could ask for.

just wow. this place blew my expectations. I took my non-vegan mom here and we both agreed that this is hands down one of the best restaurants we have ever been to. I don't think you can order wrong here read more

This the old Juniper, so the layout is the same. We had Bao, smash burger, Dan Dan noodles, mushroom and sausage tagliatelle and peach cobbler. All phenomenal. Hands down the best vegan food I have had. So so good. The service? Not so good. My noodles did not come until I had asked for it twice. The glass of wine my friend ordered never came. About three different times we were offered food that we did not ask for...so the front staff a hot mess. The chef clearly knows what they are doing. I would recommend this place only bc the food is outstanding. Just manage your expectations regarding getting your food on time read more

This restaurant has an interesting/odd menu with non-complimentary food choice (some American comfort food, Asian fare, some middle eastern items...it's a little all over the place). The music and ambiance are also a little jarring. The night we went there were folks on the 2nd floor with a microphone asking quiz questions to the other people in her group throughout our entire meal. It was audible enough that it became a distraction in which we were trying to figure out is she was an Aussie or a Kiwi bases on the accent. As we were leaving, another custom that was just arriving made a comment that summed up the experience: they sarcastically mentioned that "Nothing says "fine dining" establishment quite like a rowdy session of trivia night." I thought, yeah, everything here is kinda gimmicky - which at half the price would have been business as usual, but they are charging prices like it's Coletta in NYC. Also, the potatoes had obviously been cooked ahead of time and were held under a warming lamp or reheated, and the rest of food was over-salted. An overall "meh" experience. read more

They have a max 2 hour sitting and everything is partitioned. Quite cute aesthetic. The food that I had tried was really yummy but definitely on the pricer side. The portions are smaller which is why I gave them 4 stars. I saw a lot of people getting drinks and tasting trays so maybe that is why their portions are smaller. If you are looking for a place/brunch to fill you up, I don't know if this is the place for you. Their Aburi Lox is really something else and I totally recommend getting it! The way they treat the carrot is fantastic to be like salmon! If you like Aburi sushi but don't like the fishy taste of salmon this is for you. The Crab Benedict is good. However, with the soft tofu as the egg and the "hollandaise" sauce it really overpowers/overshadows the "crab" which I really couldn't taste. With the price point I don't know if it is really worth it. I wish they gave more smashed potatoes. read more

I have dined at MILA only a handful of times, unfortunately. (I live a few cities away) The food is always spot on, the service is incredible from when you're greeted when you walk in, to the service you receive from the waiting staff to the moment you leave. MILA is decorated beautifully, simple but still makes you feel at home. The music is never too loud and the lighting is perfect. My only complaint, that they don't have any more locations. It's hard to find a higher class plant based restaurant that can create dishes that even my meat eating friends and family can enjoy. The karaage boa buns are divine, the aburi lox oshi is to die for and tagliatelle dish is a perfectly balanced dish. It's a crime to pass up an opportunity to not dine here. (I would include pictures, but every time I visit the food is gone within minutes) Be sure to check out MILA if you're in the area or their sister restaurant next door called Virtuous Pie. read more

We came here just for dessert since they are open late and I am glad we did. All the desserts were excellent. I would highly recommend the peanut butter cup pie. Can't wait to come back here for dinner! read more

This restaurant takes plant based eating to a new level. Fish Tacos, Smashed Burger highly recommended. They even make kale taste good in their Caesar salad. Also, attentive welcoming hospitality! So glad to have this gem in my neighborhood. read more

Absolute best vegan meal that I've had in years! The Wellington was so savory and delicious. The sushi options were so creative too. The Black Forest tart for dessert was a perfect ending. Great vibes and outstanding cocktails too! read more

Cannot recommend this place enough!!! Beautiful room, outstanding service and incredible menu. Don't sleep on MILA. read more

Overall felt it left something to be desired. Edible, but I wouldn't crave it or go back. Service was good and it's clean.

Was disappointed by my first brunch visit, but my second visit was much better. Glad I gave their brunch a second chance. Tempeh Rib Hash (5/5) Amazing crispy potatoes with tempeh, mushrooms and tofu scramble topped with a delicious and creamy gochujang mayo - what's not to love? Crab Cake Benedict (5/5) The crab cake was the star of the show. It was so delicious! I've never had hearts of palm before, but now I'm sold. The tofu egg was okay but the hollandaise could be creamier and the flavour needs some adjustment. The side crispy potatoes are literal crack. - Breakfast Baos (4/5) The bao was fluffy and the sambal aioli was creamy and flavourful. The textures were a bit one dimensional and the tofu scramble with the bao was quite tasteless once you run out of aioli. The bacun was a nice touch but the strip was way too tiny. The buns needed more aioli and double the bacun. Quiche (2.5/5) This was a soggy unattractive mess. Looked nothing like the pictures. No pie crust at all, which is the best part. The dill yoghurt was not good and almost ruined the whole dish. It was just a pile of tofu scramble with some unseasoned carrots. Not impressed. PB&J Waffles (1/5) Another dish which fell way short of my expectations. Definitely not worth the hype. The only good thing was that the waffles were crispy and the peanut butter was tasty. The waffles had a weird rosemary/thyme flavour that did not work with the other components of the dish. The amount of peanut butter was abysmal (just a drizzle) and the whole dish was just a bunch of confusing flavours. Definitely get the hash and the crab cake benny (and maybe the breakfast baos). Would skip the other items. read more

Really hip and intimate space based in Vancouver's Chinatown. Friendly staff and incredibly flavorful plant based menu. The Aburi is a must try, bao buns were also delicious. Make it a date or stop by for lunch. It's a win. read more

My friend and I enjoyed our lunch at MiLa. We were promptly greeted at the door and given a larger table when we requested one. We started off with the aburi lox oshi which was visually appealing and had a nice smoky flavour. We ordered the fish tacos and Dan Dan noodles as our mains. While both were good, I preferred the Dan Dan noodles because it had a nice little "kick". Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and found the wait staff informative and helpful. read more

Full disclaimer i'm not vegan or vegetarian, so i might not be the best judge. I think the dishes were very creative and the service is good for a newly opened reataurant the interior was interesting and you could tell it'll be one of the hot spots in town. But for a non-vegan, there were certain flavours i enjoyed like the aburi sushi, the treatment of the carrot really impressed me. And yet many elements i did not, like the tempeh. Honestly, i probably am just not a fan of tempeh but really not a fan of how it was prepared here either. Definitely worth a try for anyone interested in vegetarian upscale-casual dining, but nothing interesting or tasty enough for me (personally) to crave for more. Oh, but drinks were very good, so will probably come for drinks pre-dinner read more

Vegetarians and anyone else down for veggie food, you will not be disappointed! I'm vegetarian for the most part and allergic to seafood (unfortunately) while my partner loves meat. MILA was my pick for date night and we both were raving about our experience and the food for weeks! We can't wait to go back. Really fun and unique cocktails, and I've still got the crispy sushi roll on my mind. read more

AMAZING!!!- came here 2 days in a row. It was so good, one of the top 10 vegan places I have been to around the world. Glad I celebrated my birthday here as well. Great staff as well, very friendly and accomodating. read more

Some of the best food I've had in Vancouver! Love their sushi rolls and dan dan noodles

The food was amazing here and the staff was really friendly and helpful as well. You have to try the aburi lox oshi and the Apple pie bao. It was amazing! read more

The food was sooooo good here! I don't really like vegan food but this was amazing. I'm a convert :) We had the Swedish kofta, bao and the burger. The cocktails were also amazing! read more

The marketing for this restaurant is like it has a Michelin star. Well it doesn't. My girlfriend had a stomachache during the previous night while I had diarrhea yesterday before I went to bed. We had dinner yesterday later in the evening, and I guess certain standards were not followed during those late evening hours when everyone wanna go home or people are tired due to busy day. I really don't want to know the details. Moreover, we waited more than half an hour for a table which was free(as many other tables) even at the moment when we booked it with the desk person. We were told 15-20 minutes waiting time, and we will get a call. No one ever gave us a call or texted to let us know about a table, so we entered the restaurant to see what's going on. Finally, we got a table next to a trash can. Minimum suggested tip is 18%, for what? I will never come back again. read more

I'm so glad to have a plant based business with a bar/ "drinks night" vibe! The atmosphere is lovely, the design and service are completely on point, my 4 stars go for the food. We had 4 dishes and a dessert: Mila roll: AMAZING, must have and I will absolutely come back for it again! Steamed buns: Delicious and I feel that I could order again too. Tacos: the main "meaty part has too much of a strong flavor, but the coleslaw salad is great. Not very filling for a main dish thought. Polenta: I was expecting so much more for a $22 polenta dish, but honestly is not worth it :/ the flavours were good, but it's just not at all what I expected for polenta. Peanut butter pie: This pie is fabulous, I'm not a fan of peanut butter usually and it was delicious, creamy and awesome. The service is so great and I really appreciate all the effort with the COVID situation, I will definitely come back for the rolls and pie :) read more

Was disappointed coming here since it did not meet my expectation. Well first of all its a vegetarian option restaurant everything was vegetarian, but did not meet the taste in which trying to follow the meat option by using vegetables. The pasta was the worst from all but it was still okay. The bao would have been better if you use tempea brand trust me i recommend this; i have tried all tempeh in town. The wellington was better but still quite soggy and the taste was just okay. The sushis were the highlight of the day. The ocean roll was the best definitely get this one since its the best. The salmon carrot was just too hard to be a salmon maybe you can experiment it to be better. The mila roll was good too i definitely vouch that the sushis were better options. The black forest was okay. Just came back from the planted expo and this was just disappointing after trying some good plant based food at the expo :(. Im sorry this is not recommended from me, but i am looking forward when this comes back to better. Cheers! read more

Mila - mimosa flight - Vegan Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Amazing flavours in all dishes. Almost hard to believe it is a vegan, not vegetarian, restaurant. For example dandan noodle, they achieved the complex flavours of dandan that usually require animal proteins and broth to get that level. Not even fish sauce !? Cocktail was amazing too. Only disappointment was the service by waiter...she was lovely but we were forgotten from time to time. read more

Have been 3 times and Milas food never disappoints! 1st time the kitchen loss power but no fault on them. The food was still great that we could get. 2nd was for our 11 year anniversary. I did make a note of that and didn't feel well taken care of but otherwise the food was still good. 3rd was a drop in and they were able to seat us for a short time which was perfect cause we only had 30 mins and we expressed that but felt like we were put on the back burner over a larger group and I had to remind them of my drink order as the food came and I still didn't have it... I'll still Keep going for the food but hospitality could get a tweek. read more

Where to begin with this hot mess? First of all, I've been a vegetarian for 30 yrs and have a mother who can cook and I love to cook. Point being, I'm not someone who doesn't know what theyre talking about. The menu is a disaster. Chinese, Sushi, Italian, Mexican, American... Pick ONE. Who wants to eat a hodge podge of cuisines? We had Fattoush -not even close -and a nasty mix of lots of dressing on some lettuce with unseasoned dry barley on the bottom. The karaage bao was good. Lasagne was lukewarm bc they brought ALL the food at once despite it being divided into apps and mains. Artichoke skillet was like sthting from the70s. Overpriced drinks and food. That salad was $21 and had no right to be. Service meh. Desserts worse than meh. A friend and I wish businesses good luck as we leave when we know they won't make it. GOOD LUCK MILA!, read more

So disappointed. All the food looked so good, but everything had such a weird taste. The Romesco pasta was ok, but the veggies accompanying it had a strong, stringent taste that made me gag. The bao buns also looked appetizing, but the tempeh was flavored in an odd way. I really can't describe what it is making these dishes off, but I was surprised it was as bad as it was. Even the peanut butter cup pie wasn't anything to rave about. Looked nice, but was just meh. read more

Cute restaurant, pretty good and varied all vegan menu, though drinks are a bit pricey. Definitely recommend the peanut butter cup dessert, would love to go back to try more items as I'm sure they would be delicious as well. Service was pretty good - except they did not make any attempt to check our vaccine card at the door... Just interesting considering it is a public health order for all restaurants to do so. read more

Came in tonight and what a treat!!! My husband is plant based and we struggle to find a place we both like but this place has something for everyone!!! Alicia the manager came over and she knew the menu inside out. I highly recommend the "Tuna Crispy Rice". read more
