Pizza!!! For the…read morelove of pizza. But also bread. But it was all a ok. Better late than never to finish this review! Came in between shift changes. They had no coffee. Or at least they didn't have any. Waited for 30 minutes for drip. No refills. Pizza were loaded. Not traditional or anywhere close. Kitchen sink/ was literal kitchen sink. Only thing missing was kitchen sink. Loaded fries were loaded. It was better than the pizza. The itself was casual. Came here during a heavy rain so no patio. It wasn't busy but not empty. Bread / bakery part looks good though. Server : first one was super nice: she had siblings and love babies. Second one was older, almost could by a grandma that doesn't like children. Her vibe was just off. Over all, A OK!!

IRating 4.5. had heard of this place from a friend. We were…read morein the neighbourhood so we stopped in for lunch. It is bright, clean and they have a wonderful menu of ALL vegan and gf food. Everything is made in house and nothing is deep fried and no refined sugar used.....so no guilt happy eating. They have an extensive dessert display and I had the peach crumble bar which was yummy! I shared the cauliflower wings with spicy sauce and arancini with cashew "blue" cheeze. Both were tasty and satisfying. I wanted the potato soup with coconut bacon but found it slightly bland and it just tasted like coconut chunks in the soup vs "bacon" flavour(likely seasoning dissolved off in the soup). I had the warrior "taco" which was basically a lettuce wrap. It was very tasty but difficult to eat snd messy. The sun dried tomato flavour was so good. I love lettuce wraps but need to find a clever way of eating it more neatly. Hubby and friend had the chickpea burger with baked sweet potato and regular fries. We all left satisfied and happy

My favourite vegan/vegetarian restaurant so far…read more I appreciate that they use real ingredients and abstain from refined sugars... I ordered the: 1. Falafel bowl: The tzatziki sauce tasted exactly like tzatziki sauce using yogurt etc. The falafels are baked and not deep fried. Con for me was the price - $16 is steep. 2. Pumpkin cheezcake: Absolute must get. I prefer this to regular cheesecake - sweetened with maple syrup. The crust is made from dates and maybe something else. The coconut whip cream is a nice substitute for the regular whip cream. GET THIS. 3. Oat cranberry walnut cookie: Get this - end of story 4. Double chocolate sweet potatoe cookie: This was a bit odd; It was not as satisfying as the oat cranberry walnut cookie. However, I still devoured it. Service: The ladies behind the counter were very helpful, and patient with me. The kitchen seemed a bit slow, given the restaurant was only 20% full. If I'm in Hamilton, I will definitely visit again.

It's bright, airy, and modern. We ordered 3 dishes to share: cauliflower wings, broccoli Mac n cheese, and the seitan chick'n sandwich. We also got 2 kombuchas and with tax and tip, the order came to $60. The food was yummy. I can't say it's the best vegan place I have ever been to, but it's definitely quite tasty. My favourite was the cauliflower wings followed by the seitan chick'n sandwich. I'm not crazy about nutritional yeast, so I didn't love the Mac n cheese. Overall, the menu has many options to choose from, which is a big plus in my opinion. Would recommend to both vegan and non-vegan eaters to try :)

3.5 Stars I'm torn…read more I really want to jump on the bandwagon and say that the smoothies here are out of this world, but I can't. Yes, this was refreshing after a day of hiking the falls of Hamilton. Yes, it was very healthy. Yes, service was amazingly friendly and cheerful. Yes, the atmosphere was relaxing and trendy. No, the smoothies were not amazing. Don't get me wrong, they were good, but they didn't exactly taste like what they were supposed to taste like. I think they just need to reformulate the amounts of the ingredients that go into the smoothies. All of their smoothies have a spinach and kale base. I ordered the Sobi-Smoothie "Strawberries and Cream", which had strawberries, bananas, coconut milk, almonds, and cranberries. My cousin ordered the Mumbai Mango, which had mangoes, bananas, and coconut milk. Our other cousin ordered the Chocolate Cherry. While I enjoyed tasting all the smoothies, I felt that they mostly tasted the same; the only smoothie where I could taste all the flavors was the Chocolate Cherry. The use of coconut milk in the other two smoothies was extremely heavy-handed because that was the dominant flavor in both of them. You couldn't even taste the bananas, which are usually a very strong flavor profile. It felt like we were mostly drinking the coconut milk smoothies with a hint of strawberries or a hint of mangoes, not the other way around. That said, you definitely feel good about yourself when you eat here because you know exactly what you're putting into your body. The GSB has a menu of foods, smoothies, and snacks that are all 100% organic and vegan; they are also an extremely green business (no pun intended) and compost all their waste -- even their cups, straws, and food containers are compost friendly. All in all, I'd check this place out again if I ever go back to Hamilton; I'd probably ask for less coconut milk though.

The food is authentic and full of flavour. My favourite 'go-to' dishes are Penang Curry Chicken, Drunken Noodle Stir Fry, and Traditional Authentic Pad Thai. I'm starting to try other dishes as well, and have not been disappointed. Service has been good, as there is usually only one server and the restaurant is not as busy as it could be. Decor is ok, and ambiance could be better. If they invested a bit more into the decor, they might attract larger functions and more clientele.

I can't remember the first time I came here or where the recommendation came from in my social circle, but I absolutely love everything about the hearty hooligan. the staff are so great, welcoming and inviting in all of the years I've been coming here. each one of them will absolutely go out of their way to make recommendations, talk about specials, or just be social. the food is the most important part for me, I've been going through some wicked health issues which have lead me down the path to rely on more veggie and vegan options for my food intake. thankfully after trying about 50% of the items on the menu, my health issues have not reared its ugly head. If you didn't pick up on this from my glowing review, i will absolutely drive to this place when and around the Hamilton area, its that damn good on all levels with zero faults The pizza pockets are to die for, I grab a half dozen each time i come here because I do not live close to here at all/not in the area often my highest recommendation possible 5+++++/5

The new additions of banh mi and bao round out the menu by offering slightly smaller meals at lower prices. We've tried lots more over our many visit, and have yet to find a dish we haven't enjoyed. The Vietnamese coffee is a treat, with a deliciously sweet mix of sweetened condensed milk and coffee. In terms of ambiance and service - the restaurant is spacious and the seats are nicely spread out. The noise isn't overly loud and you can actually have a conversation while you eat. The servers are attentive and check in often. The only disappointment we've ever had is the day we went to get a meal only to find out it was fully booked out for a holiday party. Now we know to call ahead of time in the holiday season - it sees others love this place just as much as we do!

For appetizer we ordered their spring rolls and bo la lot and both dishes tasted fantastic and savory. The peanuts on top of the bo la lot was a great addition and spring rolls were nice and crispy, both are great options to start your meal. For my main I ordered the bun bo hue and my family all ordered their bowl of pho. The pho broth was nice and light but still had great flavours from all the pho spices. My bun bo hue was also delicious and flavourful. A great bowl of soup to warm up the soul during the cold fall weather. The pieces of meat that comes with the bowl was also cooked well and was tender. We will definitely return whenever we come visit Hamilton area.

Environment: standard for an Indian restaurant. It is a relatively small restaurant. Service: food came out within 15 minutes. Staff were friendly and allowed us to change our order without any trounle after we changed our mind about an item 5 minutes after we ordered it. They also provided a small complimentary appetizer at the beginning. Food: we ordered off the menu (not buffet) and the food overall was quite good. Good portion sizes as well. Two of the meat dishes were more than enough for 4 individuals. See pictures. The food also isn't as oily as in other restaurants. Overall I would recommend items off the menu at this restaurant and would likely come back with my family.
