A great place for vegan and vegetarian food!

Best Vegetarian restaurant in GTA

Everyone has different experiences here. You try and you judge for yourself..

In love with the food and the service here

While the food was good, I order 2 for 1 and only got half a regular portion. They said they would fix it but never did. Another time my beef stew came with just broth, no veggies. Wont order here again

Have ordered from here many times on DoorDash over the last couple of years and their food has always been consistent, very tasty and good value with portion sizes. We finally dined in today and the food was very good, and they even stayed late to let us finish our meals without any pressure. The staff were incredibly kind and eager to make sure our meals were satisfactory.

My first time ordered here on Ubereats and was surprised with the quality and quantity of food. I can tell the broth is made very freshly from all the vegetables not msg base:

My family loves visiting Flower Lantern whenever we are in town, the food is wonderful, great prices, the owner is so lovely. Highly recommended

I highly recommend Flower Lantern. As a vegetarian who is interested in Vietnamese cuisine, this restaurant was amazing in combining the two. The food was phenomenal, the ambiance was incredible and the service was impeccable.

Nice taste of broth and healthy

One of the best Vietnamese restaurants I ever been to! (Better than the meat ones) I highly recommend and the staff are so friendly! 5 Stars

The food was great! The service was great too!

Great food yummy tasty Friendly service It s a vegetarian restaurant and almost everything can be made vegan which is perfect. Hope they go fully vegan Food : 4/5

One of the best vegetarian restaurant I have tried in so many years in Toronto. Food is excellent and reasonable price. Especially, the owner is very nice and cheerful

Great food!

Wonderful hiden gem! Absolutely amazing food and staff. Love their hot table and soups. Great place for a weekend meal and to take lots of food home with you for the week. We frequently visit or order on uber eats.

I love this place so much. Food is always amazing and the worker there is the best!!! She is so sweet I love her! Vegetarian options: Food is just 1000000/10! And customer service is amazing! Dietary restrictions: This place is perfect!! It s all vegetarian! Incase if there s any dietary restrictions that you may have you can let her know and she ll keep a note of that! Parking: A lot of parking!!! Kid-friendliness: Of course! Wheelchair accessibility: This place is big and very clean so it is wheelchair accessible!

The dishes are very delicious above my expectations. There are alot of choice for vegetarians. There are still some minor issue with customer Service but at the end the taste of foods is the best. Recommended!!!

Great food

Absolutely loved the food here. We had the Tom Yum hot pot, the Shanghai fried rice and mango salad. The Tom Yum soup was the highlight for me.

AMAZING Vietnamese vegetarian restaurant! Owner is extremely hard working and friendly. Would recommend!

The food is amazinggg, I ordered on uber eats I loved the pad thai and vegetarian rolls. Very fresh and good portions! Also the owner is super nice can t wait to go back!

Vegetarian options: I chose a Vegetarian soup with noodles and vegetables with fried tofu on the side. It was really delicious!

The server was very polite I will say that. But the food was terrible, I hardly ever waste food but I was unable to finish it and had to throw it out. I ordered pad Thai and rice noodles with stir fry vegetables, everything was undercooked, drowned in way too much oil, and the taste was very off putting. The vegetables looked very cheap and everything looked thrown together very sloppily.

Excellent vegetarian Vietnamese restaurant! They also sell frozen mock meats. Highly recommended.

I m in love with the concept of this place! I ordered the beef stew (bò kho chay bánh mi) which was quite tasty, although I was disappointed at the lack of substance it was mostly just broth. But I m definitely going to order from here again and try something else! Their spring rolls were very delicious as well!

I love this place. Ive been ordering from them for about a year now through Uber eats. I used to live at Albion/Kipling for a while and it was a quick delivery + delicious food always. I love their Vegan theme and I also love their Vegan Banh Mis. I went in for the first time I few weeks ago to pick up my order and I saw they had like vegan stuff for sale like grocery stuff, and Im gonna go back and buy that next time I pick up an order. Thanks for being such a good Vegan restaurant, a reliable one with good food.

Great all vegan Vietnamese restaurant. They also have vegan products. Highly recommend

Good

Nice foods and customer service.

Delicious food Must try Food

Delicious

I cant say enough about this place. Ive recently had some dietary restrictions where I have to cut down on certain meats. Ive always struggled finding places that followed those restrictions and still tasted amazing and authentic. I always crave Vietnamese food, but am usually stuck ordering some basic chicken dish. I was so happy to find this authentic vegetarian Vietnamese place. I couldnt be happier. First time I came, I walked in as they were cleaning. I had no idea I walked in 10 minutes after close. The owner was so nice to ask what I wanted. And I tried to order something that wouldnt take too long or be too troublesome to make. I ordered the vegan banh mi and boy was I not disappointed. My only regret was not ordering more. This place is now my wife and Is go to place whenever we are around the area. Definitely check it out because you will not be disappointed. Support this wonderful and hard working family restaurant. They deserve it.

Simply delicious, fresh tasting and generous portions, will be back!

Food was very good. Staff was kind as well. Definitely I will go back to enjoy food there.

Hidden gem for vegetarians and vegans. Although Toronto has many vegan restaurants, most of them serve western or pub fare. It can get boring. I m so glad I found this place near my home. I ve ordered takeout from here many times and was never disappointed. It has the most authentic mock beef and pork I ve ever tasted. It s also very VERY affordable compared go veg places downtown. I recommend their dry rice noodle dishes, spring rolls, beef side dish, or duck soup.

Very very delicious food. Can t wait to dine in here.

Excellent menu, delicious food, and a friendly owner.

Tasty and fresh food , good option for vegetarians and vegans but timing is not certain

One of my favourite vegan restaurants in the whole city. The Bo Lui Nuong Chay is absolutely delicious and the Bun Bo Hue Chay is one of my favourite comfort foods.

Unreal food! Everything tasted so delicious we even bought products to take home. Plus the owner is extremely helpful. Highly recommend!!

Oil drips with , into and from the food. Server remade the dishes for me but l threw it in trash as it tasted worse. Better avoid this place or get a heart attack with all the oil the food swims in. $60 wasted

Delicious food, amazing bun thit nuong but the bun bo hue was too spicy for me Will be back soon

I drove here after work to order banh mi, never tried this restaurant so I wanted to give it a try. I called the restaurant to place an order for a vietnamese sub. Their website states that the subs are 4.50 each, when I arrived there the lady told me 5 bucks for the sub then she told me because the order is under $25 there is a .50 cent charge. I told her thats fine, she charged me .60 cent instead of .50 cent as she said.. lol. I gave a dollar tip as well so that brought it up to 6.59. I took a bite and spat it out as it was dry and cold. Unfortunately the other vietnamese sub restaurant in the same plaza are closed on Wednesday otherwise I would have just went there. First and last time.

closed at 7:30 even though if says 8 too good to go at least they refunded me sad as i wanted to try and drove here

This place is awesome! I came with my friend for lunch, were both vegan and very into Asian cuisine. This place delivered on both fronts! Such a sweet and attentive waitress, delicious food, and some of the most unique options Ive ever seen! Ill definetly be coming back and recommending to my vegetarian and vegan friends.

Nice Vegan food. Very good service

Delicious food! Amazing service! It was my first time trying Vietnamese, and I wasn t disappointed at all. The server greeted us with tea (on the house) and told us about the food. The taste was amazing and fully vegetarian. They even give you onion-garlic free options to try and even sell vegetarian fish oil. Would definitely recommend.

I got takeout last night. The woman who gave me my food was super nice and friendly. There is a wide array of vegan options to choose from. My partner got item 63, which was so so tasty, especially the skewer. I got item 21, the pho, and it was also super tasty. The broth was delicious and the flavours were very warming (had traditional pho spices that you don t typically get with vegetarian pho at other places so tasty), the noodles were perfect, and I loved that were were so many different mock meats (3 different ones!) and tofu (crispy tofu and tofu skin) included. I would absolutely come back and try out the other menu item. I recommend this spot to anyone!

The food speaks for itself, the waitress is very sweet. The food is also served really fast and delicious. Ive been to alot of pho places, and this one has to be by far the best restaurant in the city!

It was our first time here with family and food was great. It could have been more flavourful and presentable. Food arrived quickly and the server was really friendly and lovely.

First time trying the restaurant and bought two take out dishes: fried rice and pad thai. 1/3 of each dish was burned. Don t know if they did it purposely out of a style or just can t control the heat.

Bought the food through Uber eat. Good food and reasonable prices

One of the worst meals Ive ever had. Everything was so oily, salty and no flavor. I usually never waste food but I lost my appetite and threw it. It was soaked in oil. Felt like cholesteral on a plate. They also charged me $4 for egg and didnt even put it in. Nothing was right. Will never order from here again.

Delicious food and friendly staffs

Best pad thai Ive ever had and they didnt skimp on the peanuts! If Im in the area again Im coming back for sure<3

Gave me food poisoning.

Amazing place and the food is so yummy. Not greasy at all.

Ordered takeout from this place. Spring rolls were really good as was the mango salad. The vegetable hot pot was awesome as well with really fresh salad leaves and many types of tasty tofu.

Amazing food with an equally amazing price point.

The food is magical - full of flavour and every bite is truly enjoyable!

Delicious vegan vietnamese food. You have to check this place out.

This place is truly a hidden gem for conscious food lovers. The wonton soup is so delicious, better than any meat filled wontons I ve ever had. The Vegetarian Mock Grilled Beef and Spring Roll Vermicelli had so much flavour that I almost thought it was real meat. I m glad it was vegan though. The mock shrimp on sugar cane was so good. I ve had a number of dishes and like to try new items from their menu and they nail it every time. They also sell vegetarian frozen foods and mock meat which is delicious! The owner has such great customer service too. You just can t go wrong with this place. So much flavour in one cozy place. I highly recommend checking it out!

Tasty & fresh! Great value. They also sell some vegan grocery items.

The spring rolls were dry, but the rest of our food was delicious. Our order came out quick, and the server was very sweet.

One of my favourite spots, not even a vegetarian myself, however their food always hits the spot and is fresh and made with care!

Had the vegetarian hotpot the typical ingredients although a tad stingy on the mock meats and idk if the vegetables were washed properly the time I went but it ta Ted dusty

Absolutely fabulous. I love Vietnamese food and am trying to eat less meat, so this is a great place for indulging in cravings!

If you love, and I mean LOVE Vietnamese food and are vegan or vegetarian, this spot is for you. This is an establishment I would bring my family and friends to. Flower Lantern offers all the traditional fare, including; Bún Riêu, Bún Bò Hu , vermicelli and Ch giò (spring rolls). Mock meats are well prepared and are a perfect meat substitute in every dish, whether it be replacing pork, chicken or beef. You can just tell the meat substitutes are well seasoned. My boyfriend ordered the BÚN TH T N NG with the shredded pork and pork skewers, and we both agree the dish tasted BETTER than it does with real pork. The atmosphere is bright and inviting, yet calming from the Buddhist peace music. I also appreciated the ambiance. Weve been here twice now in the last few weeks and would love to try all the dishes on the menu. Overall amazing quality and super satisfying for a meatless diet.

The worst restaurant experience ever! My family went to celebrate my birthday after the pandemic when sit in is allowed. During the weekday there were only 2 tables with customers. My friends and I have bought takeout here before the pandemic, so I decided to have a family birthday dinner there. I was shocked! The food was bland and mediocre, the restaurant might have changed ownership or cook during the pandemic. The service was the most appalling I have ever had in a sit down restaurant. We had to asked for napkins three times, the tea wasnt refilled. When we cut my birthday cake they didnt even let us borrow a knife saying there is only 1 knife in the kitchen and they didnt want to wash it. Didnt provide forks or plates for our cake but gave us half cut styrofoam take out containers and plastic spoons to eat my birthday cake with it, citing they didnt want to wash the dishes. Whats the point of having a sit down restaurant if they didnt want to do anything? Might as well open a fast food joint with no tables???!!!

Friendly staff and quick service. The food was ok on overall.

Delicious food and friendly staff. The BBQ beef was one of the greatest mock meats Ive had. Two thumbs up. Will definitely return. Update: returned again and had the same experience. Very friendly, humble staff and the food was great. This place is consistent :)

This very authentic Vietnamese vegetarian restaurant!

Fresh stuff! I d say the appetizers had more of an appeal to me than did the mains, but that s just me. I m not the biggest vegan connoisseur, so I m not sure how much weight by review carries.

Great food for a great price.

Amazing food, very friendly and fast service, and at a great price. Ive eaten in a couple of times but mostly do takeout. Im not even a vegetarian, but this is still my go-to.

I tried this place on Uber Eats and I m so glad I did!! The vegetarian pho was so tasty I don t think I m going to order my usual beef pho any more! Definitely try out this place!

I ordered Mock chicken with blk beans and fried rice ,i got plane rice instead

Delicious and authentic Vietnamese food. Very attentive service. Would definitely go back!

Love Vegan dishes...very tasty

Been going here for 4-5 years really good vegetarian Vietnamese food, taste like the real thing.

The food wasnt great. Flavours were off, vegetables were overcooked, food was bland. We didnt bother eating our leftovers, so that gives you an idea.

The spicy noodle soup (#29) is amazing

The food here is SO delicious and memorable! We get delivery and takeout from here a lot and my omnivorous family absolutely loves it. Our top takeout spot! They never cheap out on portions, everything is always fresh and tasty, consistent, and the value is great overall for the cost! Please support this amazing vegetarian and vegan restaurant during COVID!

As a non vegetarian Vietnamese, this place is absolutely amazing! Must try and finally a vegetarian place nearby where I can take my gf to try some of our traditional food. Would highly recommend

10/10. Definitely recommend for veggie Vietnamese food. My first time here and it was absolutely delicious.

I knew about this restaurant through Discovery around on Google Map. It is nice that they all get good reviews. We planned to come to the restaurant to know more about the service and the restaurant but then we didnt. Hopefully we will come to try dine-in experience at Flower Lantern Vegetarian Restaurant. We ordered a dish with rice, egg cake, shredded pork and grill pork chop; and a vermicelli with spring roll, grilled beef, shrimp with sugar cane and something like pork skewer. I did ask for exrra fish sauce and they all prepared the take-out so carefully. The portion is good and worth the price. we all turned out so full after this. I would love to come here one day. Would recommend this for someone vegetarian and also non-vegetarian around North York.

Awesome food, had the veggie pad thai delivered & it was amazing! The mock beef even tastes like real beef (it kinda had me questioning if it was real haha). Will definitely be ordering from here again!

Very good vegan meals at a family owned restaurant. The assorted meat pad thai was delicious. Also, the mock beef on screwers... that was superb! Service was fast and the lady that served us (I assume she is the owner) was very nice. Would definitely be back for more vegan food!

The food is delicious with generous servings at a reasonable price. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Food it s delicious, flavours are majestic and generous serving. Excellent service. Good music. I really recommend this place

AMAZING!!! I came across this restaurant by fluke on Skip the Dishes, and although I didnt order from it that night, I went to it a few days later and I couldnt have been more thrilled. My partner and I both ordered #63, the mock grilled pork, spring roll, and shredded mock meat vermicelli. It was incredible. Having made the switch to being vegetarian over 8 years ago, I havent been able to enjoy Vietnamese food since given that its mostly meat based. However, this place is better than any regular Vietnamese restaurant Ive ever been to, even back when I was eating meat...and Vietnamese food used to be a staple food in my diet. We also ordered #3, the mock beef sausage and I couldnt tell it wasnt real meat. It was SOOOO tender and so tasty. Melted in my mouth. The next time I went, I ordered the same dish as the first time and it was just as delicious. My friend ordered #23, the Nam Vang style rice noodle soup and she loved it! Tonight we went again and I tried #23 this time and I couldnt believe how tasty it was. And so filling. The portions are so generous. The lady who served me all three times Ive been is so nice and caring, wanting to provide the best customer service experience. I forget her name unfortunately, but shes so gracious. I will absolutely be a regular customer. I cant wait to try the rest of their dishes as Im sure Ill just continue to be amazed. Ill be back soon. I HIGHLY recommend this place, vegetarian or meat eater, I guarantee you that you wont be disappointed!!!

Let me be honest - Ive avoided this place for a long time. You see, two doors down is Pho Dau Bo, another Vietnamese restaurant. Its always busy there. Meanwhile, this restaurant is comparatively empty. So, I always went to Pho Da Bo instead. That said, my wife turned full vegetarian recently. Rather than figure out vegetarian options at Pho Da Bo, I came here instead. I am SO glad I did. The food here is phenomenal. Additionally, they have many mock-meat options, which are incredibly tasty. No joke. Give this place your business. You wont regret it. Great service, too.

Amazing

I found this place on skip the dishes and placed an order... The food was amazing. I had spring rolls, mock bbq pork roll and mix fried rice with mock pork and bbq chicken... I couldnt believe there was no meat. I will absolutely be eating here again!

Very good, amazing soup

Best vegetarian pho in Toronto period

Very tasty

Exceeded expectations! Will definitely go there again to try more menu items.

Where ever dine out for the veggie, this is the place fabulous of Flower Lantern Vegetarian with reasonable prices.

Delicious, great price, and good customer service. My family and I will definitely go back.

The preparation of this place is excellent but one drawback on discipline issues. Two days back to back we went there at 10 am, the opening time on Google, and waited till 10.20 am and no one was there. Means it was not open. I got my time wasted because I reached office late precisely because of liking their preparation. Thanks

Ive visited this place on several occasions when Im in the area. Theyre super friendly and give very good recommendations if youre stuck about what to order. I like to bring my carnivorous friends over to try the mock bbq beef (#3) because its the best and you wont believe its not meat!! My go to dish is the #65, its very light and the flavours are subtle, texture is crisp. Everything about it is fresh. I hope this restaurant stays around for a very long time. I love it! Photos to come soon!

The vegetarian pho is so bomb! The broth tastes exactly like its meat counterpart. It genuinely had me surprised! It had plenty of toppings, some of which the soup could have went without, but overall, Ive tasted plenty of vegetarian/vegan pho but this one takes the cake!

Such an amazing vietnamese place with all vegetarian and loads of vegan options. Service is top notch and the food is so yummy that we never get enough of it. A must-try for anyone. For pho, we usually get #23 (if you dont like spicy food) and #29 (for spicy option).

Best mock beef I have had to date! This meal was great!

Amazing veggie resto, great portions!

I have now visited this restaurant a second time and the food and friendly service is consistent!! I definitely enjoy the BBQ skewers! Tastes just like BBQ beef, so delicious! It is definitely a big plus when you can eat food and and not have the bloated feeling after your meal, with no animal fat or cholesterol and no animal hormones too! This place is a must try!

Will be back for sure! Great food and great service. Good luck!

The owner is extremely nice and welcoming. We tried the BBQ mock beef and it tasted like premium beef so delicious. We also had two different soup noodle bowls that were very good. I would recommend trying BBQ beef skewers to everyone and mock duck noodle soup.

Very good food and friendly atmosphere, will come back

One of the best vegetarian restaurants I ve ever been to. The customer service is excellent and the menu is great. 100% recommend you try this place.

This Vegetarian restaurants meals are almost all Vegan, the exception being a few containing egg which can easily be left out. The food can also be made without onion or garlic, ideal for those of the Jain faith.This is the perfect place for people who are transitioning to a vegetarian diet as there is a plethora of mock meat dishes that taste true to their beautiful form, even looking like meat! We saw several tables walk in at once and sat in amazement at how quickly the food was served. Our meals were so tasty we ordered another meal to share for desert! We wish Flower Lantern the very best in business!
