My favourite vegan Tze char place! - Edit
My favourite place to have vegan Tze char and Chinese dishes with family and friends! They serve both vegetarian and vegan options that are clearly stated on the menu. Their marmite pork ribs is very delicious and serves traditional Chinese desserts.

Not very clearly labeled - Edit
The menu just denotes if something contains dairy. So I’m not sure what about egg - do they not use it at all? The waitress told me that everything none-dairy is vegan, but then I spotted honey in other things...so I was a bit hesistant.
Read moreI ordered the bamboo pith with bean curd, mostly because I had no idea what bamboo pith was (it’s a mushroom). It was pretty good. I also got two desserts; A date jelly one and taro with coconut milk. Really enjoyed those. Would definitely recommend getting a dessert here.
Luckily I wasn’t charged for any hand towels, still - it is not that cheap here compared to other places in the area.

Just OK. - Edit
Had the Avocado wrap with very little Avocado and the “sausage” bun with very little sausage.
Read moreThe vegan portions are clearly marked on the menu and there is a lot of them.
The opening hours stated here are not true. The place was open even though it was marked closed.

Are you sure you meant to review this restaurant and not Well Dressed Salad? They’re in the same place, but different restaurants, with a different menu and different opening times.

Amazing meal, weird service - Edit
Everything we ordered tasted amazing. The menu is a little confusing, there are several pieces for each dish, you can order larger sizes for later parties.
Read moreServers weren't great at answering questions about the food, took forever to get the bill and they always charge you for the towels at the table whether or not you use them.
But the food was good enough I'd go back to try more of the menu when I get the chance.
Pros: Great flavors, Lots of vegan options
Cons: Charged for disposable hand towels, Not cheap

Mostly vegan menu. Awesome coffee here and amazing desserts including waffles loaded with incredible home made ice cream. The staff made us feel so welcome and gave us tips for other places to go though we've had to keep coming back here because it's so lovely!!

Maybe that day was a full moon, they remain open all day.

Tasty Chinese Dishes - Edit
This restaurant is located near the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Chinatown. It serves an extensive menu of Chinese dishes. Having visited the restuarant multiple times, the standard of the food there is consistently good. However, the portions of the dishes might be quite small and the price is slightly on the higher side. If you are coming in a group, you can order smaller portions and enjoy more variety of the dishes. Overall, it is a very good Chinese vegetarian restaurant.
Read morePros: Excellent chinese vegetarian dishes, Consistent in quality
Cons: Small portions

So much choice-and clearly labelled - Edit
Came here for dinner with a friend after the place was recommended to me. Booking a table was a bit of a challenge but we managed and it was worth it. We found an extensive menu with many items that were new to us like fake mutton, goose, shark fin soup etc. It was difficult to choose but the waitress was patient and helped us out. This would be a good place to come as a group - to share a try a little of many different dishes.
Read moreNot all dishes are vegan, all are vegetarian and clearly marked.

One of the best Chinese restaurants! - Edit
I love coming here with my friends, and more so with my family, because then I can prove to them that vegan food is also really really delicious! A must buy when you visit is, for mains, ee fu noodles. In fact, it is my friends' "tradition" to purchase this dish first before considering anything else on the menu. At the same time, the marmite chicken is must-buy for those dining out with their non-veg friends. It is super fibrous and flavourful, and in fact my brother did not even figure out it wasn't actual meat! The satay sticks were also super amazing, being just the right level of saltiness and sweetness, and matched perfectly with the sauce which was nutty and slightly spicy at the same time. My friends ate the sauce by the spoonful when I bought them this dish for my birthday dinner.
Read morePros: Great food, Great service, Flavourful

mock meat haven - Edit
Huge menu and the food arrived within minutes which makes one question the freshness. The dishes left us unimpressed - bland, heavy on mock meat and with a burned aftertaste. The monkey head mushroom was particularly disappointing - chewy and tasteless.
Read moreI am happy to pay for quality but here I found the prices high for what you get, with extra charges for napkins and tea refill we tried to avoid.
This place is probably good if you are after mock meat. If not - stay away.
Pros: big variety
Cons: pricey, strange extra charges , unhealthy

Too much mock meat - Edit
I came here with the hopes to find varieties of real, healthy, unprocessed food. But I was disappointed to find most of the menu offered has mock meat in it. I ordered the pork honey out of curiosity and pair it with the spinach soup.
Read moreThe pork tastes quite nice actually, not too salty. I'm just curious how healthy these mock meat are for us vegetarians?
The soup, on the other hand was really nice. Huge for a person's portion so I'm very happy about it. The taste itself is humble & simple which is rare for a chinese food.
All in all, I'm giving it thumbsuo for providing us with lots of menu option, but would love to see real ingredients included!
Pros: Wide variety of menu
Cons: Too much mock meat, Quite pricey

CNY Reunion Dinner - Edit
Went for Chinese Lunar New Year Reunion Dinner on 26 Jan 2017. Ordered their CNY Reunion Dishes. Food is generally nice, not too oily, not too salty. Serving is small even though we ordered d medium serving. Pricey as it's happens to be festive seasons. A bill of $600 for 14 people. Charged for Napkins used. We had left a few unopened Napkins packs so we reminded d staff to take d unused Napkins price off d tag. They have large tables that can accommodate up to 13 people. It's a 3 storey restaurant situated beside Buddha Relics Temple.

Two visits - Edit
HD lunch today and was close to give star. I will come back again in the evening to try again.
Read morehad sweet and sour pork, 8 treasure veg and a small portion of satay. all he dishes were great, one of the first times i have left somewhere in Singapore without the taste of oily food.
the menu has no egg and dishes containing dairy are clearly.marked, the vast majority of dishes are vegan.
After our food lunch we went back a couple of evenings later. Expecting an even better experience we left very disappointed. Vermicelli and mock ham noodles were bland and nearly all noodles. Seer and sour was food. Monkey head todu was again bland and very little match to the description on the menu. Mapo.tofu was like none I have ever tasted, it was chopped tofu with chopped veg, really bland and really poor.
Overall this was out most expensive meal in Singapore (50% more expensive); we got the bill and had been charged for the pickled veg and nuts, even the hand towels. Really felt ripped off and one out of two experiences was good, but there is better food close to here, at less than half the price.

The Eighth Wonder - Edit
Eight Treasures was by far the best restaurant we experienced during our stay and was so good we decided to visit twice. The food was stunning and beautifully presented with great use of mock meats and tofu and I would say 90% of the dishes available are vegan. We were lucky enough to sample a lot of the menu over our two visits and my personal recommendations would be the crispy lotus root, kung bao monkeyhead mushrooms, sweet and sour fish, seitan satay skewers, sze chuan ma po beancurd and the crispy bee hoon. We also tried the bitter gourd with black bean sauce and although the sauce was amazing, I cannot say I am a fan of bitter gourd. You'll either like it or you won't. Glad I tried it though. Dishes range from $8-12 and I would suggest ordering 5-6 dishes to share. We spent about $75 in total on each visit including drinks. I cannot recommend this place enough, you won't be disappointed.

one of the best veg rest in SG - Edit
I really like this place. Slightly old. Old waiter as well. But nice place and nice people. Food is good, really good, with large amount of choices for reasonable prices (small portion – which in fact is big in size – is $8 to $10). Had 3 dishes at $8. Too much in fact for one person. So far one of the best veg restaurant I’ve been in Singapore. This is a place I will definitely come back to either with friends or alone.

Too much focus on fake meat - Edit
I think the cuisine at Eight Treasures is not the best, but the service is very attentive. The waiter was very friendly. What I didn't like at all was the huge choice of fake meat on the menu. I don't need to eat fake meat to be satisfied, and I prefer fresh food. We didn't see a lot of fresh vegetables on the menu and this to me doesn't sound very healthy, but we might have missed something. We had many courses as recommended by the waiter, but can't remember the name of anything. Everything had a strong salty taste. Nothing was very memorable. They have a very simple dining room, nice enough but the best thing is the view of the nearby Buddha Temple. This is not an expensive restaurant for this city. But surely there are many other good vegetarian restaurants for the same price that I missed. Anyway I have to note again the friendliness of the waiter but I'm sorry, I'd probably never return and will try some other places.

Cons: too much fake meat, few fresh vegetables, very salty flavours

Gourmet delight - Edit
Visited around Chinese New Year, so was presented with a limited menu, however, upon asking if they could do other dishes regularly available but now only appearing on the set menu, they were very accomodating. Should you visit January/February be sure to try the Lucky Yu Sheng, a shredded vegetable, crispy cracker, plum sauce and myriad other ingredient concoction, which was simply delectable.From the regularly available dishes we were particularly impressed with the black pepper fragrant potato basket, the bamboo pith sharks fin soup and the abalone mushrooms with seasonal greens. The regular menu is wide and varied, the restuarant very comfortable and the food simply sublime. It was on e of the best meals I have ever had. The only problem is the price- our bill came to S$90, so I wouldn't classify the price range as moderate. Open 11am-10pm daily. Treat yourself!

Buddha Jump Over the Wall & 8 Treasures Herbal Sou - Edit
Buddha Jump Over the Wall @ ($15/$25/$25)+
Read moreWhen I last dined at Eight Treasures Vegetarian Restaurant, something caught my eye - Buddha Jump Over the Wall, which is a Chinese Cuisine delicacy dish! So, on our next visit, we ordered this specialty dish - Vegetarian Version Buddha Jump Over the Wall. The dish looks presentable and the pricing for this dish is reasonable ($15/$25/$25). We ordered the $15 Buddha Jump Over the Wall which is more than enough for 2 pax.
It consists of broccoli, mock abalone, mock shark's fin, wolfberries, mushroom, mock sea cucumber, angelica root (I think). What I loooove most was the mock sea cucumber, the chewy texture was just right and it tastes so delectable after soaking up the rich broth. It paired beautifully with their special brown rice - which consist of barely too and very delicious.
8 Treasures Herbal Soup @ S$18.80+
Herbal soups served in Vegetarian Restaurants are not losing any goodness. There are 2 types of herbal soups to choose from - 8 Treasures Herbal Soup and Ginseng Mock Chicken Soup.
As I am not a big fan of mock meat, I picked the 8 Treasures Herbal Soup that uses many different types of herbs and mushrooms This is a big pot for a small eater and both of us just could not finish it. The waitress was so proactive that she suggested packing it up for us to take back home.
Black Pepper Mock Chicken Chop @ S$7+
They has quite an extensive menu with 120 dishes - which include a well planed small section on Western Menu that consists of Crispy Green Salad, Fruit Cocktail Salad, Black Pepper Mock Chicken Chop and Fish and Chips which taking into the needs of local and tourist (vegetarian) who likes western food.
On the whole, the food is more toward Traditional Chinese Cuisine (Vegetarian) and is delectable. Prices, in the range of any causal dinning non-vegetarian restaurants/eateries but if with their privilege card that entitle to 12% off, it offset away the 10% service charge. Ambience - a Chic and Stylish Chinese Vegetarian Restaurant with a lively and cool ambiance.
My non-vegetarian friend who has a lovely dinner at this restaurant decided to bring her Catholic Friend to this restaurant and they really enjoy and like the food even it is vegetarian.
Must Tries: Mini Pot Vegetarian Shark's Fin, Buddha Jump Over the Wall & 8 Treasures Herbal Soup, 8 Treasures Tea, 8 Treasures Tofu
Pros: Good Ambience , Friendly Staff
