    The meals are surprisingly more expensive than I thought for a place that does not serve meat. I was not expecting many of the dishes to cost at the $15-$20 range. Food items I enjoyed are the tofu-seitan and the BBQ vegan meat. What was disappointing was the Vegan Butter Chicken ($17). The dish contained a lot of potatoes. I would have preferred it to hold a lot more tofu or whatever meat substitute. Even then, all that the dish was was a typical butter chicken dish replacing the actual meal. The curry was nothing special. A service interaction that left a sour taste in my mouth was when I requested a spoon and fork to use for my Vegan Butter Chicken meal. The waitress just motioned that there is already a spoon included in the dish and that there are chopsticks available. I, personally, would have wanted to eat my dish using a spoon and fork compared to eating it with chopsticks. The restaurant should have different utensils available and ready to provide to customers having their personal preferences.

    Awesome vegan Vietnamese food. I was craving ultra healthy food and they were very accommodating. I went with a plate of steamed mixed vegetables and a side of steamed tofu. They also made the summer rolls with steamed instead of fried tofu at our request. The bbq banh mi that my husband ordered was also delicious!

    Great food!!!! Even my parents liked it and they're super grouchy Vietnamese people! Waitresses are also very nice and super attentive as well!

    Lab lunch with a vegetarian in the group so this resto came up as an option. It is a very long restaurant with limited aisle space. Regardless there is ample seating. The decor is really cool with a blue sky ceiling a Buddha in the middle surrounded by some lotus flower, very zen. When viet food is so cantered around meat, it's hard to wrap my head around vegan viet, but I think they did it pretty well! Combo 1 with sweet and sour crispy tofu, caramel tofu-seitan and bbq vegan meat. They all had familiar flavours, but the proteins did make it feel it bit off. Sweet and sour tofu - very different from the traditional Asian sweet and sour sauce. this one is much more vinegary less sweet. The fried tofu was a bit soggy than I would have liked. Would not recommend. Carmel tofu-seitan was good with different textures and flavours, yum! Would recommend a try! BBQ vegan meat was absolutely delicious. Similar texture to meat and it had all the right flavours, very similar to BBQ pork charged well. Would get again!

    This is for their NEW Bloor Yonge location SO HAPPY to have a vegan restaurant in the neighbourhood. Great options, fast service, friendly manager/owner/host, and yummy tasting food. Ambiance is nice with plenty seating.

    Came here yesterday with some friends and got their small egg noodle soup with vegan crab and BBQ meat for $15 before tax and tips. It was so so tasty and flavourful, perfect even on a pretty warm summer day. Service was quite fast.

    Great choice for a healthy vegan dinner- they don't use MSG so no headache for me! Food was very filling but also didn't make me feel heavy or bloated. Everything tasted so fresh- the sauce on the pad thai was amazing and the vegan butter chicken was so hearty and thick. There were potatoes in there and I think I tasted pumpkin in the sauce. The naan bread was super good to dip in the butter chicken. The dining area is fun to look at- lots of decoration. The servers were super nice and they were also able to split our check in half. I would come here again!

    Gf yam tempura salad roll

    Stumbled upon this place looking for lunch before a show at CAA theatre. Lots of gf options and all is vegan. The yam tempura (corn starch coating) salad rolls were delicious. The pad Thai was tasty with 3 different types of tofu and lots of veggies. Hubby thought his combo with eggplant was bland. He found his bubble tea grainy. Service was very good, friendly and quick. Neil took time to check on us frequently and was lovely to chat with. There were a few fruit flies close to the poinsettias so we moved them. Casual place, decent food and great service.

    I tried the Fresh Salad Rolls ($3.75) and the Spicy Lemon Grass Tofu, Seitan, BBQ Vegan Meat, and Spring Roll Vermicelli Bowl ($16) and was pleasantly surprised! The rolls were fresh and didn't have the funky aftertaste that a lot of these rolls have with rice paper. The vermicelli bowl was a surprisingly large portion (the picture doesn't do it justice), and the meats were well-seasoned but not overly salty. The noodles were fresh, did not clump together, and the "fish sauce" provided was really good--not overly briny or fishy like real fish sauce! The price is pretty good as well!

    As Scooby doo would say, Dee-ricious I usually get the banh mi sandwiches but today I just stopped in for some fresh rolls. Had my favourite the spicy Jicama Service is always kind and friendly and restaurant has a lovely atmosphere

    A lovely vegan Vietnamese restaurant! Location is definitely more hole-in-the-wall feel, and decent service. Prices are also reasonable considering inflation. I got the Golden Curry pho, Combo 1 and Vietnamese coffee. The pho had lots of toppings and was tasty with a more subtle flavour profile. Combo 1 is great for those who like to sample - I especially liked their sweet and sour tofu dish. I highly recommend trying the coffee! It's a sugary drink topped with a more bitter dalgona foam on top. If you want affordable vegan options around Toronto, definitely check this place out!

    Vermicelli Bowl. Deeeeelicious!

    Trying new items on our second time back at Saigon Lotus, Vegan Vietnamese Cuisine in Kensington Market. This is what my pal Derek had... Pad Thai with BBQ Vegan Meat: Pan-fried rice noodles with BBQ vegan meat, spicy tamarind, tomato sauce, and sprout. Served with fresh cabbage, crushed peanut, and coriander. Vegan. I've been needing more veggies in my daily diet so I ordered a dish with lots of green... Spicy Green Curry Tofu-Grilled Eggplant: Tofu, eggplant, broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, bamboo, green bean, mushroom, and bok choy in spicy green curry sauce. Served on your choice of rice. Vegan. Very delicious though this wasn't as flavourful as other dishes I've had. The grilled eggplant though was excellent! All the meals look so beautiful and delicious! The vegan meat tasted just like real meat and the colourful combinations of ingredients made this so enjoyable to eat and look at. As a meat lover I was very impressed. The ambiance was better this second time because it was so hot and humid outside and the air conditioning inside was blissful! Plus the friendly staff and service was outstanding once again. Highly recommend!

    Unfriendly treatment from staff, slow and mix up orders. Food too salty but the spring roll was refreshing that's why 2 stars.

    The vegan pho and butter chicken is really good. The pandan flavoured water is refreshing.
