| - My family and I go here for both lunch and dinner regularly since my mom is vegetarian. We've been to all the vegetarian restaurants around town (Graceful, Lotus Pond, and even King's Cafe downtown) but Gourmet Vegetarian Restaurant remains our favourite go-to one.
The lunch dim sum selection is great, with a variety of spring rolls, dumplings, and congee, in addition to any of the rice and noodles offered on the regular menu. For dinner, some yummy options include pan-fried "oysters" which come on a sizzling plate, as well as the sweet and sour "pork". Another family favourite is the salty "fish" and "chicken" fried rice (tastes just like the real thing!).
I do agree with other reviewers that the food is towards the greasier side, but this is the case with all the other vegetarian restaurants as well. Gourmet, IMO, has the best selection and best tasting food of all the chinese vegetarian joints! The friendly service is a plus as well.
