Greasy Overabundance of Cheap Lunch - Edit
This place is my favourite place for lunch, 2 sides rice is already very fulfilling. Try their mock meats, super delicious!
Read moreBeware of the greasiness though... choose 1 stir fry and 1 soupy/curry side to balance it out. Portion is humongous, bring lunchbox to bring back half for takeaway dinner. (That 12$ goes a looooong way).
Dont forget to drink water :>
Pros: Cheap, fulfilling, delicious
Cons: Greasy

Blooming Good - Edit
Had a takeaway eggplant tomato courgette with stir fied noodles. $10:00. It was very nice. Got the Happy Cow sticker.
Read moreWide variety of food to pick from have either rice or noodles.
I revisited Blooming Good food yesterday with a fellow vegan, we both enjoyed the fare on offer. I had noodles with tempeh and aubergines. Lovely, my friend had fried rice and lemon grass and fresh brocolli and pumpkin. Both dishes $12.00 each. Got the Happy Cow sticker. Please vegans support these vegan places.
Revisited this great eatery at its newest address. Just moved up King Street towards Erko.
We had a plate of noodles with fried tempeh and veggies, stir fried veggies and tofu and curry sauce. The other plate had stir fried rice and lemon grass and rice. Both dishes were delicious.
Got HC sticker.

Note that the Newtown branch of Blossoming Lotus has closed. Not sure when that happened but walked past today (31/05/20) to see the shut down.

The buffet style is very cheep. You choose between different styles of meat alternatives and sides. Although it is very greasy and doesn’t have too much taste.

I highly recommend it. - Edit
I haven't been there in a while because I no longer live in Sydney, but I love this restaurant. Not only is the food cheap and delicious, but it has such a good vibe. My favourite dishes are the mock duck, the crispy soy, the eggplant and the spring rolls.

Lots of vegan choices, buffet - Edit
Food is a 7/10, price is reasonable. Some doubts about food hygiene but otherwise a fairly good choice. If it was a bit cheaper I’d likely eat here quite often.

Great buffet deals.
Read moreA La Carte options available.
The crispy soy strips and spring rolls would have to be the most popular from the buffet.
Remember to take cash!

Ok, but there are tastier options out there - Edit
Ordered the duck curry at this place and whilst the meal was OK, I felt it to be somewhat lacking. It may have something to do with their motto of not adding onions or garlic to any of their food. I also tried to mock sugarcane prawn, which was almost cold when i received it.

Cons: I have tasted better

good vegan fare - Edit
I ordered a jungle curry from the menu with steamed rice. Tasted good. Niki had the crispy soy and pumpkin with rice from the ready made stuff you'll see as you walk in.
Read moreOrdering from the menu seems a little more expensive but they are making it for you fresh. Judging by other peoples plates they seem to be very generous with the portions you receive from the ready made stuff which is cheaper too. If you're not into the mock meats and fried stuff then definitely go for something on the menu and order some steamed rice to go with it.
Good place to come to every now and again. Check out my video review on my youtube (see my profile).
Pros: good food, good price

friendly, yummy and cheap - Edit
I really like this little place, it's friendly, fast, cheap and tasty. They have a bunch of curries and stir-fries all ready to go, with white or brown rice or noodles. As well as lots of dumplings - sweet and savoury. Recommended!

Make sure you get the satay! - Edit
I used to eat here when it was still "Green Palace, Thai"... The name has changed, but the food has not.

OK for a quick and easy meal - Edit
As far as Thai food goes, this place isn't very good... It's rather bland in terms of spiciness... and when I eat Thai I want something that excites the palate. That said, I put this place in a category of it's own, it's quick, cheapish, and filling and of course vegan!
Read moreThere is an a la carte menu here but most of their business is via the bain-marie, which features around 8 dishes, all of which come with fried rice, noodles or plain rice.
Pros: Value
Cons: lacks spicy flavour

Not bad - Edit
I've been here a good few times. In a way, I don't know why! I think because I wanted a break from my usual Green Gourmet or Burgerfuel or Iku meals. It's a bit of a mixed bag. I've had some pretty forgettable dishes here, but the good ones are damned good. The ones I'd put in that category are the fake duck with choy sum, the five-spice bean curd, that fake beef dish with the pepper glaze, and the pumpkin with tofu and basil. These choices are all really good and have never disappointed me, but what has disappointed me is getting to the end of my takeaway box and there being a huge puddle of oil. That's not a good sign! Still, order the right dishes here and you'll be impressed. This is a restaurant I'd go to if I wanted a meal to takeaway for myself to eat in my apartment (I've eaten in a few times, but I just felt kinda awkward what with the music and everything...I don't know), but if I wanted to take someone to a meal that I think they'd be really impressed by, I'd probably take them to Green Gourmet.
Read morePros: Takeaway is economical, Some great dishes, Unusual decor
Cons: Feels pretty unhealthy, Some bad dishes, Very strange music on loop

My Favorite - Edit
I've spent a great deal of my life at this place eating rice paper rolls and their raw burdock salad. Also love their sesame balls that I get during their weekend yum cha. Good food, good price, good service. Also they have one nice big round take with a lazy susan on it which is great for larger parties who want to share meals

Comfort food - Edit
I'm not sure why I like this place, but I do. The menu is a kind of comfort food take on Thai standards. It's the sort of place where you go for a big bowl of soup if you have a hangover.
Read moreThe atmosphere is a bit fast foody but you can still sit down and enjoy a meal. The a la carte food is much better than the stuff from the takeaway counter.
Pros: Friendly, Good variety

A trusty favourite =) - Edit
I have dined at Green Palace at least a dozen times.. I can safely say it has the tastiest mock meat style dishes I have found. My favourite is the lemongrass rib. They have a menu or a small but quality buffet for under $11. It's quite a casual cafe style place, very simple but with a few strange thai style decorations around. I can definitely recommend it.

Cons: Bit oily

Reliable vegan fare - Edit
Green Palace is good for a quick lunch to fill the tummy, when you know exactly what you want. Good mock meats (the pepper beef is especially good), and veges and tofu for those who aren't into the mock meat thing. The foods are in a bain marie, and are a bit greasy (this is not haut cuisine, but with those prices we shouldn't expect it to be). The offers don't change, as far as I can tell, and so it's reliable, but I have to space out my visits there. They also offer thai salads, for those who want to avoid grease altogether (some of which also use the mock meats).
Read more***A revelation has been, since writing the above review, finding the menu. Much nicer, not greasy. Happy, happy. The noodle dishes are especially good, and the pad thai is a dream come true.

Pros: good value, great service, ORDER FROM MENU
Cons: Bain marie food too predictable, Bain marie food greasy
