  • This place has been around for decades now and is still going strong. It was my first time sitting down to eat here. In the past I've only packed up from their to go bar. Being a Buddhist kitchen, all the dishes served are vegetarian. Their menu has a lot of items that you'd see at any other Chinese restaurant but the meat is replaced with various bean curds and Buddhas delight or "jai". To test out the authenticity and to satisfy a recent vegetarian convert's cravings, we ordered sweet and sour "pork" and "beef" chow fun. Just by sight, you 100% can't tell the difference between the meatless dishes and the real thing. The sweet and sour pork was actually beautiful. The sauce had the right sheen and each piece of meat and vegetable was perfectly shaped. Biting into the pork, it had that iconic lightly fried crunch to it and the bean curd did a wicked impression of pork. In some ways it was better than the real thing - there were no "gotcha!" bites of a piece only of bone or one that's all fat. The flavour of the sauce was also super authentic and delicious. The beef in the chow fun dish was more on the medium end of matching beef. It didn't quite soak up as much flavour as I would have liked and the texture is quite different from beef. The noodles and the bean sprouts were great though and they subbed in slivers of snow peas instead of the green onions which I actually liked more. If you're fiending for those classic Chinese favourites but shying away from meat, I absolutely recommend coming here. If you're not looking for dinner, the jai bar lets you pick and choose. I also saw them preparing big party plate orders while I was there, so there are bigger take home options as well.
