Yummy lunch - Edit
We walked here from Newtown station, looking for something quick for lunch.
Read moreThe restaurant has a Bain Marie style for serving @lunchtime, with quite a few various selections to choose from.
We had Hoiken noodles - I had roasted veggie duck/my partner had the veggie ribs with lemongrass.
We were served our meals by a friendly lady, who filled our plates up with delicious food.
We both really enjoyed them, as we sat at the table next to the front window, watching everyone passing by.
It’s not a five star restaurant however it’s really nice food, with welcoming staff, and felt nice being there.
Pros: Tasty, inexpensive & good sized portions, 100% Vegan & open all day , Friendly & lots of choices

Hits a very specific craving - Edit
If you are in Newtown for one meal, this is not what you want. You will get a room temperature serving of several contrasting flavours with mismatching cutlery.
Read moreI have visited this place several times at 10am while hungover and found god. It is so unashamedly what it is.
The crispy soy is probably the highlight for me.
Pros: Crispy soy, Cheap for the serving size, A lot of condiments

Massive serve of goodness - Edit
We tried a bunch of the options from the bain marie here and they were all delicious. I was really surprised at how big the serving size was, especially for the price! The people here were friendly and the vibe was good, relaxed and welcoming, very casual. Open between lunch and dinner hours as well, which was super convenient for us looking for a late lunch at around 3pm.

I live this place. It reminds you that you can get great food in Sydney/Newtown without having to fork out a heap of money.

A classic - Edit
Used to frequent this shop when it was further up King St and in a larger spot. Food quality seem to dip ever so slightly when the moved here. Sadly, I think they changed the salt and pepper soy slices (which are the bomb). Great for a cheap, quick meal. Some dishes are oily- but in a good way.
Read morePros: cheap, the buffet allows you to try up to three dishes, great flavor
Cons: crispy soy not as good as it used to be

Deliciouse vegan Thai food - Edit
I really like this place because every dish I've tried so far has been delicious. Some dishes may be spicy.
Read moreThe prices are also reasonable and the portions are quite large.
Maybe the service is not super professional, but the food makes up for it :P

Cheap Eats, lots of options - Edit
Don't come here expecting fine dining, but this is a perfect place if you are after cheap, quick food with lots of options. Great for takeaway or a quick feed. Dessert options as well, must try the Strudel's

Delicious eggplant tomato and mushroom dish - Edit
I've come here so many times now, but I always order the same thing, the eggplant tomato and mushroom dish. It's crispy, in a savoury, slightly tangy sauce.
Read moreAlso tried the curry puff, and that was very good.
I should branch out to their other dishes, the made to order noodles dishes look good.
Pros: eggplant tomato mushroom dish, Quick service

Focus on the food, ignore the ambiance - Edit
Everything's vegan, according to the lady that took my order, so the listing probably needs an update. Great food, great price, super generous serving, a bit oily depending on what dish you choose. Definitely try the duck, a super smooth melt-in-your-mouth type of feeling, bursting with flavor. And the cherry strudels!!! Never had cherry strudels before, but probably better than most of the apple strudels I've had. They probably use sour cherry and vanilla bean cream as the filing, so not too sweet, not too sour, just right.
Read morePros: Great taste, good variety, Cheap, Great sweet options
Cons: Ambiance needs some work, Some dishes can be oily

Some average dishes, some delicious! - Edit
I ordered the 3 dishes with rice option for lunch and one for takeaway also. I also bought a box of the bbq steam buns.
Read moreI didn’t really enjoy the options I chose for the eat in lunch. I had the creamy tofu, pumpkin and eggplant/mushroom. I had to add chilli to make it less bland.
The take away however, was really good! I have massaman curry, vegan crispy duck and a different eggplant dish. The bbq bins were tasteless but a bit better when I warmed them.
The staff member wasn’t overly friendly or engaging. She didn’t smile or have much to say. The space itself was pretty nice.
I have to give it 3 stars for the overall experience, even thought the takeaway options were worth 4 stars. I’ll try a different place next time I’m in Newtown.
Pros: Some tasty dishes
Cons: Some average dishes, Not very friendly staff member. Just ok.

The choice is yours - Edit
It’s simple: you can pair rice/noodle with the option to choose 1/2/3 dishes. I went with 3 choices along with a Hufflepuff. Oh, curry puff. 14 1 AUD.
Read moreI went with noodles, gluten duck, eggplant tomato & mushroom, and red curry. The final product looks a bit messy, not exactly what I had imagined.
I like the texture of gluten duck. eggplant tomato & mushroom was a little cold and soggy along with curry. And curry don’t generally go well with noodles. So there you have it, I’m a bad example in answering multiple choices questions.
The curry puff tastes very nice, a little bit like samosa, but lighter, more airy, and more flaky.
It’s 14 bucks for a stuffing meal. Eating here is no brainer. To make a choice on the three dishes? Don’t be like me.

Blossoming Lotus is a small and simple eatery, (reminds me of being in South East Asia), but the food is delicious, its well priced and all vegan, including the dessert cabinet.

Save your pennies - Edit
I used to come here every time I was in Sydney before I got a bit too fancy. We came in for lunch because a place down the road was closed for the public holiday. I was reminded how good this place was: three dishes and rice for $13, plus a couple of (albeit chewy and not particularly fresh) spring rolls for a dollar each. All the buffet dishes were good, from the crispy soy bits to the red curry to the chili eggplant. I had to try the deep fried ice cream because it had been years. While I really enjoyed it, I realised that it was a refrozen deep fried scoop with a fairly thick batter. Delicious all the same. I should just save my money and eat here more often when I’m in Sydney.
