One of my new favorite spots!! They have some of the best food I’ve ever tried, everything we had was 5/5. We had assorted fried vegan chicken which came with the best kimchi, generous fresh spring rolls, Thai milk tea!!!, crème brûlée, mango sticky rice, and another dessert drink with noodles in it. Have been waiting to go back just to get another Thai milk tea. Their kimchi has my heart, I hope they sell it as retail because I would definitely buy a few jars at once. The service was great, we loved the ambiance. I really enjoyed the warm tea they served us instead of water, honestly nursed my cold away.

BEST VEGAN PHO I’VE EVER HAD. I’ve been going here for years and cannot get enough of it. The flavours are extremely rich and even my non-vegetarian/non-vegan friends love this place. You gotta add it to your list

Beautiful interior, delicious food, kind and welcoming staff, I'd definitely recommend coming here! They had great options for dietary restrictions and their washroom was clean too. I wish more places were like this

I’m not vegan and this food is really good! The portions are huge and you get great value for money. You get charged extra for using card though, so I recommend bringing debit or cash. I loved the golden curry vermicelli soup, it’s $17 for a large and $15 for a “small”.

★★★

Good food but not great. The golden curry vermicelli was really nice. Pan fried pho not so much. It seemed sloppy and not well seasoned. Fresh rolls were good. Momo filling just ok and passable.

Saigon Lotus is my favorite comfort food. When the fall/winter weather starts, soup is always my comfort food, and the Saigon Lotus ones ALWAYS hit the spot. The spot is completely vegan so it's a good option for people who eat halal. The crispy chicken sandwich tastes like actual chicken and the soup portions are so generous. I love this place. One of Toronto's hidden gems.

Officially my favourite vegan restaurant in the city! Not only does their vegan meat taste AMAZING, the portion for each item is huge as well. I got a BBQ bahn mi and it was bigger than I thought. Sauce was delicious and everything was just perfect about it. For only $8 this was an incredible meal. Many seats inside but it does get packed in busy hours. Service is slow because only one person was in charge of everything. Please be patient to him when waiting to be served! Will definitely come back again to try all other items!

Saigon Lotus has a chill, laid-back vibe with lots of plants adding to the cozy atmosphere. We had the Golden Curry Vermicelli Soup and a Vermicelli Bowl with spicy lemongrass tofu seitan, BBQ vegan meat, and spring rolls. Both dishes were super tasty and came in generous portions. The filter coffee with condensed milk was amazing—definitely a favorite! For dessert, we tried the mango sticky rice, which they recommended. It was their best seller, but we found it pretty simple. The staff were really friendly and attentive, making our visit even better. We went on a Saturday afternoon, and it wasn’t too busy. Just a heads-up, they prefer debit or cash.

There are plenty of options for everyone from bahn mi, pho, bun, rice dishes, noodle dishes, etc. We also had the fresh rolls, dumplings, and green curry vegetables with brown rice. Everything was delicious. The staff are so friendly. I will definitely be back to try other things on the menu. The seating arrangement is also quite spacious and comfortable.

Super tasty food with lots of options that are gluten-friendly if you are ok with them using the same fryer. Service was quick and friendly. The servers were unsure of a few things but were happy to go to the kitchen and find out. Not much to say about the atmosphere, but Id definitely go again for the food. The fried breadfruit, Banh mi and Golden Curry vermicelli are all super tasty!

We came here for a late lunch/early dinner and the food was amazing. It wasnt too busy, we were seated immediately. It took a couple of minutes to get our order and it was hot and fresh. I ordered pho which was great on a chilly November day and warmed me right up. There was a lot of food for the price and we were very full for the rest of the day. They do accept card payments, which I think is rare in the area for many of the Asian restaurants. There is a bathroom downstairs as well. Great place!

The food at Saigon Lotus is absolutely amazing! Not only are there plenty of fake meat options for those who enjoy the taste of meat, but the vegan protein sources such as mushrooms and tofu are cooked to perfection! I always order a pho which is served with ample bean sprouts, mint, basil, and chillies. Service is impeccable and the staff are always kind and welcoming. This place serves such perfect comfort food and I look forward to coming here more often!

October 22, 2024

This is my new favourite restaurant. I never post reviews, but I had to post one for this place. The food exceeds all expectations. I just had the bahn mi. Everything about it was perfect. The price does not reflect the quality. When you first walk in there decor can seem a little cheesy/messy, but becomes comforting and fun to look at very quickly. Selfishly, I want them to continue as they are for many years to come, so that I can continue to eat the best food Ive had for a steal of a price. For their sake I hope they build their dream restaurant and become exceptionally wealthy from it. The quality of experience I just had and have had in the past impels me to write with the utmost fondness for this gem of a restaurant. Thank you to the owners and the workers.

This used to be one of my favorite restaurants. However, recently I ordered the Golden Curry Soup (22), and was quite disappointed. Not only were several ingredients missing, the broth tasted different from before (sharper lemongrass and ginger taste rather than a sweeter, curry taste). Though I appreciated that the service was very good, the waitress was very kind, brought the soup back to the kitchen to add the missing ingredients. I hope Saigon Lotus goes back to its old recipe for the curry - it was much better!

I had the Banh Mi BBQ Vegan Meat Sandwich and it was incredible. The BBQ Meat had a great texture and the sauce for the vegan meat had a nice sweet and tangy bbq flavour. The Banh Mi also had some nice fresh vegetables as well as being on a nice piece of fresh bread. Id definitely get this sandwich again, but seeing how good it was, I kind of want to try everything on the menu because Im sure that there are many other delicious things to try!

MY FAVOURITE VEGAN RESTAURANT!! Make sure you try their taro pudding omgggg I always have a couple. The mango sticky rice is a hit and miss depending if the mangoes are sweet and in season or not. The food is just yummmm!!! And you will always end up feeling nice and clean after you eat their food. The vegan combo is a safe bet, but so is most of the menu. The pho is incredible. I was sick once and had the tom yum. Omg made me feel better instantly. Brought my omnivore siblings here and they loved everything!! Just come here and eat. Seriously. I have many pics but I switched phones so I cant access them right now.

First time ordering and most likely the last. The portion size for the price is absurd! $20 with tax for something the size of my hand. I genuinely can t believe how tiny this portion is. Indian food places would double this size for less cost. What a shame! The flavour profile is somewhat there, but this is SO heavily salted I couldn t eat more than a couple of bites. Had to toss it out :(. There was also no potato as advertised. Waste of my money! Not shown: the left container is 1 inch high and right container is 2 inches high, to illustrate just how small the portion is. Ordered butter chicken.

I love the food from this restaurant but their packaging for togo is so bad, especially when there are soup dishes . I got one of the soup dishes for to go and after I walked 5 my soup was went down through the paper bag spilled on the ground. I believed it was not the fault of the staff that they did not close it probably. It is the container itself. The lid for the soup is not tight at all which causes the leaking and soaking in the bag. Hopefully the owner will find a better green togo container for soup dishes or at least try the tape!

We visited this popular vegan vietnamese restaurant on Saturday evening. It was jam packed. Make sure to call on their number and get the reservation done. We ordered: 1. Fresh Salad Rolls (Tofu-Avocado and Peanut ones): 8/10 => Though it s mentioned spicy but it s not spicy 2. Pho Dac Biet: 8/10 => Classic Pho 3. Bun Bo Hue: 9/10 => Bit spicy though 4. Sweet and Sour crispy tofu with brown rice: 5/10 => Won t recommend 5. Exotic fried rice: 8/10 6. Mango sticky rice: 8/10 The food was neither too great nor too bad.

Vegan vietnamese food that looks amazing and tastes delicious!! I got the Pad Thai Lemongrass Tofu-Seitan & BBQ Vegan Meat, and was honestly so surprised that the vegan meat tasted exactly like real meat! The pad thai tasted a bit sweet and tomato-y which I found quite enjoyable, but the vegan meat really stole the show for me ^_^ The portion size was perfect for its price, and service was pretty quick at bringing out our food (although we went at a relatively quiet time). The only minor con was that it was a bit hard to get the waitress attention. Lastly, the interiors were stunning! I loved how the ceiling had a painted sky and how there were many decorations on the walls.

I recently visited Saigon Lotus, a fantastic vegan restaurant, and had an incredible dining experience. The spicy lemongrass tofu seitan, BBQ vegan meat, spring rolls, and golden curry vermicelli soup were all absolutely delicious. The portions were generous, and we enjoyed every bite, finishing everything on our plates. The restaurant s interior, adorned with fresh green plants, added a refreshing and calming ambiance. We visited during the afternoon when it wasn t very busy, and the service was prompt and attentive. A highlight of our meal was the Vietnamese filter coffee it was so flavorful and a perfect end to a fantastic meal. I highly recommend Saigon Lotus for anyone looking to enjoy authentic and delicious vegan Vietnamese cuisine in a pleasant atmosphere. Don t miss out on their Vietnamese filter coffee!

I was a little hesitant with writing a review at first. A few months ago, I would have given 2 stars. Food would come out at drastically different times; my partner would get and finish their dish and I would still be waiting for mine. They even forgot about my dish not once, but TWICE!!!! I swore off this place until just recently. Now, it s a complete 180; all the food comes out sort of together and I haven t been forgotten yet (I hope never again). The food is always consistently delicious - I haven t had anything that I didn t like. My go-tos are the banh mi meal with Thai iced coffee and the vermicelli bowl! The only downside is that they seem short-staffed on the weekends and at night. So expect to be there longer during those times.

We tried their Vegan Noodle soups and the food was 10/10. One of the best Vegan broths I ve ever had. Though the setting is very simple and gets noisy without any sort of music. But Would recommend for a low key date night or to go with a large group of friends. Food

Vegan Banh Mi is to to die for!! 10/10 if youre a vegan/vegetarian the Banh mi sandwich is a must try! From the texture, to the flavour, to the portion size, to the price, I cannot say enough good things. This was my first time and I will definitely be back - believe all the good reviews because this place is worth the hype!!

I got their vermicelli bowl for takeout for lunch. The flavour was OK but on the salty side. Ive had their noodle soup with mixed vegetables before, and it was very tasty. Im not sure I would go back though - halfway through, I found three metal pieces while chewing (only photographed two). Hopefully I didnt swallow a piece before I noticed it.

This place is really cute and the food was both beautiful and delicious. We had bon bo hue, spring rolls and mango sticky rice. I basically ordered the pho with spicy broth to have thinner noodles and more veggies. I omitted the seitan. I would skip the drinks next time and just sip on the tea. The soup was so good! I am craving it and looking up recipes on line to try and satisfy my soup craving. Loved it and would definitely go back if in Toronto.

I thought service was terrible. Waitress seemed annoyed or like we were an inconvenience to them somehow. Another waitress then came up to us saying their machine for payment was going to be out of service soon, and made us pay while we were eating. I thought that was very strange and unusual because i didn t see them do that to other customers or the new customers walking in. Food was not spectacular either. But service really was a miss, so I will not be returning or recommending.

Considered the best Asian restaurant in GTA, we just scratched the surface of the extensive menu, ordering a number of the dishes off the Chefs specials (No.33 was a personal favorite) - all amazing! The items we ordered were so delicious that we got a couple other dishes to go (from the regular menu)! We can t wait to visit again!!! A true gem !!

This is a vegan Vietnamese restaurant located in Kensington market. The food is pretty good for vegan food, we got the bun bo hue, vermicelli bowl, and banh cuon. All dishes were flavourful and the textures of the fake meat was pretty chewy (although clearly not the same as real meat) Service is pretty friendly too. This is a casual family style spot, affordable and they have a good amount of seating. Washrooms downstairs.

Its always nice to come across a restaurant with a fully vegan menu that is not identical to other places serving vegan food. The staff are sweet and nice and trying to accommodate everyone who has not made a reservation. The food is good. The pad thai is unique with nice flavor and packed with proteins. Sadly, the service is poor and disorganized. We had our order brought over but asked to wait until they confirmed with the kitchen if that was the right order. They forgot about our drink inquiry. It took a long time until someone noticed us waving and asking for our bill. Id like to give this place another try and perhaps dine in when its quieter.

5 star food. We enjoyed everything we ordered! The reason for 4 stars is that my husband witnessed a male employee use the bathroom without washing his hands after. When he left, he headed back towards the kitchen. We dont know if he was handling food directly or not, but he worked there. Either way, ALL employees (and everyone else) should be washing their hands after using the restroom. Its unhygienic and gross not to.

Always prejudiced against Vegan food and it was confounded today at Saigon Lotus. Absolutely brilliant food. We had the 20 and the 28 and didn t leave a speck of food particle behind.

Happy to have all vegan menu. Giving 3 stars for food because 1) temperature of the soup of the noodles was only lukewarm. Why wasn t it hot?! I see another customer also complained about this in their review. 2) Coffee only lukewarm and small, not worth $6. Overall food felt just ok . Strengths: 1) Thai cocktail very good. 2) fresh rolls with avocado and tofu very good.

Been back several and food is always consistently delicious. Love the cozy dining space infused with Buddhism influence. Place was bustling with patrons. There are enough tables to seat ~50-60 ppl (yes it doesn t look that big but trust me). Digital menu! Food was delicious! Highly recommend the Bún Bò Hu noodle soup (#20) and the Spicy Lemongrass Tofu & BBQ Vegan Meat and Vegetarian Spring Roll vermicelli (#24) and the Spicy Jicama Peanut fresh rolls (#3). Prices were vegan-ly priced (mid range). 2 service alerts: (1) place is very busy so hard to wave down a staff to order (but once you do, they are very attentive), (2) facility requires stairs and does not have handicap ramp.

Delicious plant based menu, went here forgetting that it was all vegan (I m not vegan), but the summer rolls were so fresh and tasty that I would come here again! Thai tea was tasty too (considering that there s no dairy in it). The crispy chicken Banh Mi is a little dry and underseasoned, I wouldn t reorder.
