Love this place, but it's closing soon! - Edit
This place is great for a quick Chinese style lunch. They can prepare food in the back or there's a buffet style out the front.
Read moreToo bad that it's closing in a month! I heard that the rents are up, and they have tried to sell it but no takers. So go visit now, before it's gone.

Best Laksa in Adelaide - Edit
Hands down, the search is over!
Read moreGreat if you love cheap asian style food but are vegan, they have some really amazing rice and noodle dishes with mock meats Reasonably priced and will fill you up.
I love this little arcade too, it is always not very busy when I go which I much prefer compared to pure vegan in china town foodcourt! Check it out, it may be hard to find if you have never been there before, but worth seeking out!
Pros: Cheap asian delights, BEST LAKSA
Cons: a little hard to find

Love the laksa - Edit
I've been to vege garden a bit over the years and while the menu has remained mostly the same, but the dishes have improved in quality. The laksa is especially good and I have trouble ordering something else besides it.

Simple and Tasty - Edit
Well there was so much hype from previous reviews on the laksa, I had to try it. It was nice. Simple and nice. Nothing I would rave about.
Read moreThe Bain maree was mostly empty which was disappointing but they only do the set meals for lunch, I came for a Friday night dinner.
It's a shame that the arcade is so dead, any other arcade is bustling when there are plenty of commercial giants like McDonalds, this little arcade needs more advertising.
Pros: Tasty, Cheap, Simple
Cons: Lacks atmosphere, Empty serving cabinets

So many options, in the heart of Adelaide! - Edit
As a visitor to Adelaide I was excited to see so many cafe options for veg*ns centrally located. This one is not far from Rundle Street.
Read moreI had a delightful meal at Vegetarian Garden, service was friendly and fast and it was cheap. I wish I had read all the reviews asI love a good laksa and I would have ordered that. But I was limited for time so I took a sample from the prepared display.
If you don't mind eating in a food court, and you can find the arcade, this is a pretty good option for lunch & very filling.
Pros: Inexpensive, Some prepared foods - so quick, Freshly made to order available
Cons: In a food court

I'm now a regular - Edit
This place is located inside a food court right near my uni, so I was happy to come across it on my way to class one day. There is a choice between ordering something from the menu (average price between $7.50 and $9) or you can order a combination of the already-made foods (about $7.50 for two choices plus noodles or rice). I always end up ordering the Malaysian Hainanese Rice off the menu because it's so damn good. My boyfriend gets the Fried Kuay Teow noodles which is good for me as that's my second favourite thing on the menu. The service is always friendly, and the counter area and surrounding tables are kept clean. Compared to what other vegetarian/vegan places around Adelaide charge for meals, this place is a steal.

LAKSA! - Edit
I have been to vegetarian garden 3-4 times. The first time to try this Laksa I had heard so much about and it was everything I had hoped for! Every time I go back I plan to try something different but CANNOT get past the laksa!
Read moreIt is very affordable, and offers quick service with a smile. The only downside is getting a park nearby when driving, but it's worth a bit of a walk!
Oh and they also sell bubble tea :-)
Pros: cheap, most if not all vegan, delicious

Fabulous Malaysian Laksa - Edit
My last day in Adelaide when I tried their Malaysian Laksa and my God ...... it was just divine! The curry was well balanced (not too thick or too runny). It was how a Malaysian Laksa meant to be. Inside, the hokkien noodles was al-dente, and the tofu, mock meat, and the vegetables are cooked to perfection. It was a good but also sad day for me, since I have to leave Adelaide that afternoon. Otherwise I could have come back for more.
Read moreThe owner was lovely, she helped me to find other vegetarian restaurant which opens dinner time. I have also tried their Malaysian Mee Goreng and hainanese chicken rice on another day, but was not too keen on them. Maybe just my taste, I am used to Indonesian mee goreng which is sweet and spicy. However their mee goreng was too sweet and sour, it feels like eating long strings of lollies! The hainanese chicken rice was also too greasy.
But definitely try the Malaysian Laksa ......... you'll know what I am talking about! At only $7.50, it is a fantastic value!
Pros: Great value, amazing laksa, good & quick service
Cons: greasy hainanese chicken rice, hidden location
