I think this place is one of the best vegetarian restaurants in Toronto. Great amount of foods compared to the price. I am not vegetarian but really enjoyed every single bite. Everything is flavorful and delicious! My favorite is fried noodle with mock duck(tofu skin I think)(menu 53) which my friend recommended. Fried spring roll is crispy and so good. It is family owned restaurant and staff are very attentive and friendly.

2024 September 3★ There's certainly a limited number of Asian vegetarian restaurants. Here, the flavors are ok, depends on the dish. Assorted Gluten & Bean Curd $13.50 Sweet, savory, curried and crispy along with other flavors. Gluten itself was a bit dense and chewy. Personally prefer the lighter versions. Would pass next time. Pan Fried Bean Curd Sheet $8.99 large Imitation duck. This was smoky crispy and pretty good. Thickness was decent. Would recommend. Street parking.

I hauled some Pan Fried Bean Curd Sheet Stuffed with Vegetables 腐皮卷 头盘 and Pan Fried Bean Curd Sheet 斋鸭 头盘 for dinner, pretty yummy and good flavor! If I ordered again, I'd skip the bean curd stuffed with veggies as it was way too oily and greasy, but nonetheless a good solid grub down for reasonable fare Support local businesses!

This is by far the most Deliciously tasting Chinese vegan food anywhere! Heck, I'd argue that the majority of their dishes taste significantly better than your standard Chinese food take-out joint! And their portions are incredibly generous compared to other places as well! I encourage you to try it out! You will love it! We normally order the noodles with mock duck(incredibly delicious) and the dish with green veggies and 5 different Mushrooms I believe (amazing!) 5/5 Apologies for the pics😅 we ate some before taking them.

The vegan fried noodle I ordered is completely uneatable as it’s so crispy and hard, smelled smoked. I ended up not eating the noodles at all but only the vegetables. The waiters were quite rude and only admitted to give a 10% reduction even though I barely ate nothing. Definitely not recommended and won’t go there again. Same price at other place like juicy dumplings are way better, don’t go…

Good food and huge portion sizes at a cheap price :) All the vegetable dishes I’ve tried have been very good. I really liked the crispy soya fritters, eggplant and tofu in black bean sauce and spicy eggplant with mock salted fish in chilli bean sauce. The Singapore fried rice and fried rice noodles with mock beef seemed to lack salt/seasoning, but everything else was good!

Love this vegetarian place!! Delicious food, generous portions, affordable, friendly and fast service. Menu standouts here include the deep-fried tofu with minced vegetables and mushrooms, the crispy noodles with mock duck and vegetables, and the fried rice noodles with mock beef. The stir-fried seasonal vegetables with mushrooms and the spicy fried mock chicken nugget with red chili were good.

Greens Vegetarian is FABULOUS. My friend and I are both vegetartians and we came here on a whim for lunch. We were so pleased with the assortment of food we ordered. The complimentary tea was delicious, the service and food was quick. At one point the server accidentally brought us a plate of deep fried king oyster mushroom. They gave it to us for free when we let them know we didn't order it. It ended up being our favourite meal of the entire visit! 10/10, would come here again. We left with a ton of leftovers and both had dinner and lunch for the next day (we over ordered knowing we'd do this haha).

We ate in for the first time last night and it was a great experience. Saturday night. A large party across from us. A family to one side and a few two tops filling the rest of the space. Not too loud despite this. I dont remember music playing but I am sure there was. A TV playing that news/weather/ads channel that rotates headlines while other news is playing with in a screen within the screen. Volume off of course. When we sat we were set up with plates, napkin, chopsticks and tea cups. Then a pot of tea followed. We ordered three dishes. A noodle dish (spicy noodles with mushrooms and mock meat. It also had small bits of tofu along with the mock beef). Large mock duck. Chinese broccoli and black mushroom. They confirmed if we wanted it spicy (we did). At the last minute we added a spring roll each. Everything was great! Portions have great value and match the price more than most restaurants. Taste was just right. Not too salty. Not too greasy. Perfect spice. Our tea pot lasted the entire meal. Perfect accompaniment to the meal. It was alot of food and we were able to pack it to go with ease and we will happily eat it over the next couple of days. I normally get a bit of a salt/grease hangover from eating out and even with less sleep than normal last night, I feel great this morning. I have a very sensitive stomach and I was able to sit through an over 2 hour movie afterwards. Service was attentive without being overly so. Only thing I could say on the room for improvement side (but wasnt overly bothersome in the end) was the lighting. Just a tad dimmer or warmer. Very small detail that was outshone by the rest of the experience. We will be returning and encouraging others to join us. Thank you so much!

Been here before but a long time ago. Came this time with my vegan friend. Main server was pretty friendly and even made some recommendations when he saw us struggling to order! Food is all vegetarian so no meat (even though the dishes look and taste like meat!) Everything was a bit different then what I am used to having. For exam0le the hot and sour soup was a bit darker in color and not as sour as I am used to. Same with the ma po tofu, usually I get it and the tofu is all minced up, here the tofu was in big chunks instead. Overall the food was pretty decent as Im not really a vegetarian. But the real star of the dinner was the dessert! Free!!! We got some sort of shaved coconut/milk with popping bobas and lychee jelly! It was sooooo good!! Overall I would definitely recommend this place to all vegetarians and I would probably return if my vegetarian buddy wanted to go again.

came here with a friend; we split the chicken fried rice, she ordered the mock lemon chicken, and I ordered the sweet and sour mock chicken. the fried rice was ok but nothing to write home about (I feel like its hard to mess up fried rice). on the other hand, the main dishes were borderline inedible. the lemon chicken was all flavourless dough with a teeny bit of mock chicken in the middle. the sauce was barely on the chicken and was all runny. the sweet and sour chicken felt like chewing on a rubber tire. unfortunately we did not finish our meals. when we asked to split the fried rice on the bill, the staff were a bit confused. overall, buddhas next door is way better. just go there instead

Friendly staff greeted us promptly and were happy to answer any questions about the menu. We had the sweet and sour mock chicken, the pan fried dumplings, and the spicy green beans with dried tofu. All of them were great but the spicy green beans with dried tofu stole the show.

So delicious! I was at a pot luck and one of the girls brought the sweet and sour chicken balls. I was skeptical as I was eating them thinking Im not sure they are really vegan, thats how good they were. I have been craving them ever since so decided it was time to order them. When the lady answered the phone I asked if I could please have everything vegan. She stated that everything in the restaurant was vegan. How amazing is that! Vegan Chinese food! In my glory I ordered a few sweet and sour chicken balls, lemon chicken balls, vegetable fried rice, pad thai. I think I had about 6 different dishes, the bill including tip was under $100 for ALL THIS AMAZING FOOD! There is no parking lot close by but lots of quick stop street parking for pick up. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful, a pleasure to deal with.

Greens has best vegan Chinese food in TO. I like how their food is generally less oily than their competitors, as well as offering more authentic-tasting Chinese food. I highly recommend their taro fish, salt and pepper tofu, fried rice, and green beans-so yummy. The portions are large; we always have leftovers, which is great. Lastly, in addition to the friendly staff, their restaurant is spacious and clean. I love how they are fragrance-free-even the washrooms!

I had the mock chicken mango in a taro nest, spring roll and small fried bean curd sheet. The dishes are always prepared fresh with great attention to detail. I dined in and when I took out the leftovers, they had to cut the fried taro nest to fit into the container. Unfortunately, when I got home I was expecting the full dish and got the veggies without the full size taro nest. It was a little disappointing, so I will arrange my leftovers myself in the future. Otherwise the dining experience is fine, and service is attentive.

My regular is the deep fried mock chicken with lemon sauce. It tastes like chicken with similar texture, the crispy deep fried is perfect, along with the generous proportion of lemon sauce for dipping(so the chicken doesnt get soggy). It is Perfect! If you get a side of rice it is tasty as well. I have never experienced such perfection of a crispy mock lemon chicken dish. And a very generous proportion as well to share!! *homer drools sound* lol Vegetarian options: EVERYTHING ^_^

The one time I had Greens was after my poor experience at Vegandale. I had just been unprepared, not from Toronto, first time attending this event, etc, that I had to leave and go somewhere else for food due to being overwhelmed, and lightheaded on the verge of passing out, due to the intense heat. So my boyfriend and I came here! It was actually really delicious food, and it was so nice that everything there is vegan friendly! I had never seen anything like this (living in Kitchener), and I was so excited to have discovered a fully mock meat restaurant that perfectly imitates the Chinese food I ve been craving for so long. The server was very friendly, attentive and helpful, she made sure that we were very satisfied with our first visit here. It was very nice to try something so different and the taste on all dishes were ABSOLUTELY incredible. I completely forgot to take a picture, but we tried some of the more popular items that the waitress had kindly suggested to us, and we were very impressed. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to make their tummy happy!

Ordered the steamed pumpkin and it was delivered moldy. I called the restaurant to explain and see if I can get a replacement. The staff started yelling the background regarding my call and the lady who got back on the phone with me told me it is normal. I was taken back! Normal for mold? Really? I tried calling back again after I recovered from my shock and they never picked my calls up again.

While I m not a vegetarian by any means, I sure do appreciate some tasty food, meat or no meat. After having this recommended to me, I had to give it a shot. We ordered the fried rice noodles with mock beef, mock chicken balls and the crispy soya fritters. The portions are ginormous!!! The rice noodles were just deliciously flavoured and tasted just as if it was beef. One of my all time fave dishes and I couldn t tell the difference if I m being transparent. Who doesn t love chicken balls? Super nostalgic, crispy and amazingly tasty with the pineapple sweet and sour sauce. The soya fritters were crispy, airy and well seasoned. I can t wait to go back and try other dishes all while lowering my carbon footprint. Service was quick and friendly as well. A must try!

UBER couldnt deliver but Michael, the owner, personally delivered the food to our door which was still warm.

My family and I have been going to this location for over a decade. It s cozy, friendly and good service. (The place is also quite eclectic with a variety of exquisite plants on display!). Decent menu choices, delicious food and reasonable prices (compared to the other restaurant half a block away). Never really have to wait for a seat (or wait too long) and food comes fast. My favourite dishes include rice noodle stir fried with black bean sauce and the squash dish filled with mushrooms and other mixed items (item 29). Note: You should plan for at least an extra 30 mins for the steamed squash dish but it is worth the wait, and quite filling! The hot and sour soup is also quite good but find it a bit of hot and miss depending on who is making them.

Sweet people, amazing vegetarian food. If you order take out, try not to arrive earlier than they say as the place is a bit small and its awkward standing around in front of the small counter at the back with all the Uber eats drivers.

This has been my number one go-to place for the most delicious (and reasonably priced), Chinese food in Toronto for over 10 years! Generous portions, lots of variety, and excellent flavours (without being too oily or salty) make this hands-down the best choice around. Add to that the excellent, friendly service (the owner is so incredibly sweet and always smiling), along with the bright decor and comfortable seating for a delicious experience! Do yourself a favour and check this place out as Im sure once you try it, youll love it too!

Excellent food, huge portions, welcoming staff, simple relaxing decor, low prices... Im in love with this place! The only problem is that you have to choose from a huge menu... I visited twice (so far) and had fried eggplants with tofu, crispy noodles with vegetables and mock duck, and fried banana with coconut ice cream. Vegetarian options: The menu is all vegan

A lovely little vegetarian restaurant! I came by for a mid-afternoon late lunch on a visit to Toronto. A very cozy, brightly lit space, with a lovely and personable staff, good food and generous portions - its great to find a vegetarian Chinese restaurant, where I dont have to skip half the menu that has meat in it =V I had their fried wonton and their chow mein (crispy noodles with vegetables). Fried tofu and a wonderful medley of mushrooms made for a very tasty lunch. (For reference, this order easily feeds two - for me alone, I had leftovers!) Vegetarian options: Fully vegetarian menu. Includes mock meat dishes and veggie/mushroom/tofu dishes.

Literally so good. By far one of the cheapest and best vegetarian restaurants in ALL of Toronto. Also, it s located in a perfect location just outside of Kensington market, meaning it s very close to many peoples go to areas. The food was extremely cheap, got mock sweat and sour chicken balls(large portion), 8 deep fried wontons and 8 delicious dumplings for only $32. With $40 you could easily feed 2-3 people without an issue. The mock meat was also great and didn t upset by stomach like fast food mock meats. Staff is extremely polite and the restaurant has a very quite, laid back atmosphere, perfect when trying to get a break from the bustle of Kensington and China town. Anyways, most definitely a go-to for me now, use to be Dim Sum King but this place just can t be beat price wise and food wise. 10/10, 5 stars, would most definitely recommend to vegetarians and meat eaters alike!!!

Had a wonderful time at the restaurant - food was very large in portions with affordable pricing, service was friendly and quick. Our favorite was the vegan bean curd platter, which came with a sweet and sour soup, one big spring roll and a small pickle radish mango salad. Deep fried tofu was huge! Would definitely recommend the restaurant for groups to come try out their food! Vibe is quiet and family friendly.

Good good and portions. I am not happy with customer service though. Wait time is longer even to get seated and to serve after you place an order. They should hire more staff if that is required but waiting for more than 20-25 minutes is longer with kids and seniors. Some other customers were complaining about the same when we were in the restaurant. Nuggets and Crispy noodles were very tasty. Pad Thai and Singapore style fried rice were very very bland

Tasteless food, threw everthing away. Singapore noodles - totally tasteless, zero flavour, no salt and you could taste raw spices as if they just added it and mixed it without spending time to cook the food. Even after adding soya sauce it still did not fix it. Bamboo Fungus King Mushroom and Tofu Soup - really horrible taste, no flavour Pan Fried Bean Curd Sheet Stuffed with Vegetables - no taste and bean curd was so thick that it was not even chewable. I threw everything away. It beats me how this restaurant has so many positive reviews.

A Chinese-Vietnamese restaurant near Kensington Market. Building looks old and rundown from outside, which may deter people from entering. But inside is clean and nice. Food prices are shockingly low, even when everywhere prices went up. They give huge quality and good quality food. I was not sure how they were able to keep prices low.

A fully Vegetarian/Vegan restaurant. Last time I lamented in not getting a bit of Vege/Vegan options in Asian food in Pacific Mall but after visiting this restaurant and going through the menu of Asian Vegetarian/Vegan dishes, I was overwhelmed. I am not a naturally East Asian and South-East Asian food lover but those who are and on top of that who are vegetarian/vegan, for them it is a heaven. Hope the restaurant keeps up the good work!! Vegetarian options: Loads of Asian Vegan options with plenty of Mock Meats made of Tofu and other vegan ingredients.

I visited Greens Vegetarian Restaurant. I got the Pad Thai which came with mock beef. The mock beef was almost indistinguishable from beef. It tasted almost exactly like gyro meat. The Pad Thai was absolutely amazing and fresh. The service was quite quick and excellent. The restaurant is a nice, small, intimate environment. My experience here has been great and I highly recommend ordering the Pad Thai here! Update: Recently, they have reduced the quantity of mock beef that they provide, so I personally will be asking for extra mock beef if I return and get the Pad Thai, however, overall, the food and the quality is great.

A very yummy option for vegetarian food. Me and my friend ordered Crispy Wontons w/ sweet n sour sauce and shanghai vegetable noodles. Both were so yummy but apparently our server gave us the wrong dish at first but it was still very good and we didn t have to pay for it. Amazing service, very helpful but food service was a bit slow. Either way portions are huge and must be split with a friend for the best experience. Ended up only having to pay 10.15 per person, so for that cheap, don t forget to tip your servers.

A great spot overall. The all-vegetarian take on some classic Cantonese restaurant dishes was a nice refresher for someone used to the meat versions of these dishes. Everything was flavoured nicely, and the texture of the mock meat was great. The portions are large for more than reasonable prices. The staff are pleasant and this corner lot location makes it a beautiful lunch spot on sunny days, with lots of light shining in through both window-covered walls.

It was our first time eating here and loved it. The menu is extensive with great vegan options. It does feel great to go to a place and knowing that all the dishes are are vegan. One surprise was that the dishes were much bigger than we thought, and we ended up over ordering, but had the luck that we could eat again at home. The staff were very friendly. The surrounding area (Kensington Market) is also a great area to explore. I highly recommend this restaurant and their friendly staff. Vegetarian options: The place is completely vegetarian. I think most dishes are vegan, but the noodles may contain eggs.
