Top notch on flavour and texture. Loved it! - Edit
Hands down the best “fish” I’ve tried and the “calamari” and were super delicious. I’ve been craving this since trying it for the first time last week

The best... - Edit
I’ve been a massive fan of Kuan Yin since 2007. The food is next level and the owner Michael is a really nice man. My favourites are the Salt and Pepper ‘Fish’ meal, the Tako Yaki, the ‘prawns’ meal, the ‘calamari’ meal the Snow ‘Fish” meal, and pretty much every thing!

Fabulous! - Edit
The owner Michael is fantastic. Vegetarian but very vegan-friendly, most dishes are vegan. Excellent Taiwanese fried faux-chicken! The food is still as great as when they had a little cafe, if not better. Lots of healthy vegetable based options as well as fun fried food! Great to have an amazing independent delivery service like this.

Awesome Foods! - Edit
My husband and I have always enjoyed coming here, nice yummy foods, comfortable place, friendly owners and staffs. Many of our non-vegetarian friends enjoyed the foods here too, they were very surprised that vegetarian foods can be that delicious and have lots of varieties! Come and try it out if you have never come here before, I guarantee you will not regret it and be prepared to become addicted to it!!

Great food and good location - Edit
This is one of my favourite vegan places in Brisbane. The staff is always super friendly and I like their selection of pearl teas. They have a large variety on their menu ranging from mock-meat dishes to dumpling soup. It's a cosy atmosphere and you get a lot for your money.

Generally OK - Edit
I took a non-veg friend here and for some of the food, he thought he was eating meat.

Not open in the evening, unfortunately. Prices are reasonable.
Pros: Mostly vegan, Tastes quite good, not very expensive
Cons: a bit oily, not open for dinner

Probably my favourite veg restaraunt ever. - Edit
Every time I visit Brisbane I eat here once per day. The owner is friendly, the service is great, the food is cheap and the quality is the most consistent I've ever encountered.
Read moreThe mock dishes are simple soy, gluten or seitan substitutes.
For entrees, the Taiwanese fried chicken is maybe the best fast-food style vegan snack I've ever had, the vege pepper and salt oyster is also great. For mains, I recommend the Three Combo, which comes in a bento box and allows you to sample the main mock dishes, the Zhi-Shu is also great. The best drink is the taro bubble tea (with pearl) on soy.
Say hi to the owner Tony. Top guy and very friendly.
Pros: Good., Cheap., Consistent.

Amazing food & price! - Edit
We are newly vegan so were a little nervous about trying mock meats. We were extremely impressed with the chicken and beef, and the sweet potato wedges were absolutely delicious!! We ordered an entrée, 2 mains and 2 drinks (iced tea and frappé) which cost just over $30 total. Great value & great food!

My favourite - I love it! - Edit
Going there is like a little holiday trip for me, brining back memories from my trips to Asian countries. I love their food, especially the mock meats, the soothing decoration and friendly service.

Passable, but not exciting - Edit
Our first experience of Kuan Yin was a late lunch on a Wednesday. The place was full and we thought that to be a good sign. However, when we got down to business, we realised that this venue is not special at all.
Read moreOur waiter was friendly, but had very little English and seemed flustered by the numbers he had to deal with. Our two entrees - deep fried calamari and some other seaweed/fishy dish that we just couldn't get the waiter to explain properly to us - were tasty and reasonably priced, but the mains - two different lunch sets - were very basic and rather bland, as well as not filling enough.
Kuan Yin's interior looked tired, and the lino floor has seen better days. Perhaps this venue can impress people who are new to mock meat restaurants, but for those of us who are used to this sort of thing, there is certainly better food and service in Brisbane. After all, if you really do crave a vegan chicken drumstick, you can always just get your own, frozen from Inala!
This restaurant would benefit from more experienced wait staff, an interior overhaul, and a far more detailed menu. It's really not enough to get a picture of a meal if you still can't work out what the ingredients are!
Pros: Entrees, Medium Price, Friendly staff
Cons: Staff lacking English, Tired decor, Boring mains

Not bad - Edit
A fun place with good service. When I sat down they immediately asked whether I was vegan and went through the specials accordingly. I've been here a few times and it's getting a bit decrepit and run down now -- could use a refurb. The food is a mix of Beijing type Chinese yum cha food, Japanese street food, and bubble tea.
Read moreThe last time I ate here (May 2012) I had "phantom chips" (sweet potato chips encased in taro and deep fried for added hairiness), Peking duck pancake (a lot of iceberg lettuce, not a lot of fake duck), and a yuzu / kumquat tea (very nice, not overly sweet as you often get with bubble tea).
Pros: Vegan info clearly marked, Service
Cons: Decor

really good - Edit
I really miss this place and considered moving back to Brisbane just so I could eat here all the time. Great lunch box type meals suitable for one person to eat by themselves. The bubble milk tea is good too even the peanut one. Good value and variety. Good people. Yum yum yum
Read morePros: good value, yummy, no onion or garlic, good location
Cons: too good, want more, and more

About the only good thing about Fortitude valley - Edit
I was quite disappointed with Chinatown till I found this place. Very good food and good price.
Read moreDoes a good selection of teas (including bubble tea).
Nice and cosy and not at all threatening, so it's a good place for a first date.
Minor criticism: needs better signage.
Pros: Food, Price, Atmosphere
Cons: Location, Visibility

One of the best in Brisbane - Edit
This is a restaurant you can keep going back to.
Read moreThe decor is plain, even a little kitsch, but the staff are friendly and the food and teas are great.
My favourites are the Veggie Pork dish and the sticky rice. A dish such as veggie pork comes with rice and an interesting smatter of vegetables around it.
If you've never had a bubble tea you've missed out on an asian phenomenon. Ask for a soy bubble tea with taro in it, it's purple, unusual, and highly addictive.
Pros: Cheap, Nice people, Bubble Tea
Cons: Kitschy

Awesome food - Edit
Kuan Yin's food is consistently good. The bubble teas are great & the main dishes are very good.
Read moreMy favourites: Taiwanese Fried Chicken, Wonton Noodle, Fried Dumplings.
Beware: The restaurant fills very quickly on weekends - I'd advise getting there before 12 if you want a table. Michael (the owner) is able to reserve for large groups.

A great little place - Edit
One of two (remaining) vegetarian places on Brunswick St alongside the Tea Master, which I narrowly prefer. Still, this is a wonderful place to have a meal. The combo hot pots are served in a metal bowl kept hot by these little flammable blue rocks underneath. Dont ask me how, but its cool. Prices are as cheap as you would find anywhere. Why eat prefabricated muffins and overpriced coffee in some sterile city cafe when you can walk ten minutes and get great food here?
