Delicious vegan Asian food

Wonderful place for vegan Asian food and dim sum. According to the (very attentive, friendly, and chatty) owner, everything on the menu is vegan, although the restaurant is listed as "vegetarian". All the dishes we ordered were fresh and flavorful. Reasonable prices. Lots of vegan freezer items for sale. I'll definitely be coming back often!

Just okay

Not sure if it was just what we ordered (BBQ Buns, Shanghai Noodles, and Kung Pao Chicken with Purple Rice), but it was just okay to me. I feel like Padmanadi does the same thing, but does it a lot better. I am willing to give them another chance though.

One positive is that they do have a great selection of frozen mock meats that you wouldn’t be able to find at a normal grocery store.

The impossible is real

We loved being able to have such tasty vegan dim sum. The Siu mai, Bao, and drumsticks were the stars of our order. I missed dim sum so much, so glad to have some again and such good quality.

Pros: Dim sum!!

Amazing eats!

I LOVE Loma House. Everything is delicious and made with love and care. The Bao buns, spicy beef bento box and the sizzling platters as well as the churros are amongst my most favourite items. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Pros: Delicious , Beautiful presentation , Made with love and care

Cons: Not many gluten free options

So many options

I love this place because they have so many options and i believe all of their food is now vegan. Their must try item is the Roti Canai, so delicious and flaky. I recently tired some of their noodle dishes (chow mein and ramen) and the dishes were about 80% noodles and the rest veggie or protein, I wouldn't order them again.

Always a great experience

I highly recommend this hidden gem in South Edmonton. The owner is always there and so kind and attentive. They offer bento boxes to sample many different menu items that come with delicious ices lychee. You can eat in, take out, or purchased frozen vegetarian foods from their large freezers located in the restaurant.

Great for vegans

The fam and I loved it (hubby, daughter and myself are vegans) but also went with a non-vegan and loved it too. Service was fast and awesome. The seitan is the best we ever had. Is a small place but very cozy! We spend around $20 a person ( desserts included).We will come back for sure!

Pros: food, fast service, chill place

Cons: no alcohol drinks

Great food. Almost all vegan. Meat eaters would love it too.

I am fortunate to live nearby. Even if I didnt live close I would make a definite point of going to Loma House.

Some of my favourites include the Spicy beef and the satay kabob. If you get a bento box you will be treated to an excellent assortment including calamari rings and spring rolls.

All Yummy!

Pros: Large menu. Quick service. Almost all vegan. Meat

Cons: Not open on Tuesdays.

Great food but slow service.

-It would be vegan but they have diary ice cream for dessert. That could easily be changed to non dairy and it disappoints me that they haven't done so.
-Food is good - hit and miss. The meat dishes come with a fair amount of veggies so don't bother ordering the veggie plate.
-Only 2 or sometimes 3 employees so service is very slow. You have to ask for water or you will get none, and be clear you want multiple waters of waters or else you will get just one ("can we get 3 waters please?")
-They have frozen vegan dishes in freezers ready to buy and we stock up whenever we go.
-Don't get the combined dinners ("Dinner for 4 - $35" or something like that), it is cheaper to order everything individually!!

Pros: Good food

Cons: Not vegan, Slow service

New favorite place

Really good food. We ordered the daily special each having the hot and sour soup, for mains we had the curry veg with tofu and the spicy beef, then for desserts we had the fruit and the pudding. We started with a "side" enoki mushroom rolls. Everything was amazing and I have to say the pudding was incredible. We also ordered a pot of tea, even that was delicious! There is a whole page of teas to choose from.

I then purchased the beef the spicy beef dish was made of from their incredible selection of freezer foods. They have a whole wall of freezers full of amazing looking veg faux meats, buns, and premade meals.

Service was great. Place was really cute, clean and pleasant.

Can't wait to go back.

Pros: Great food, Good prices, Good service

Cons: Small

An all Veg restaurant and store!

While this place deserves and automatic good rating for being a 100% vegetarian restaurant it wouldn't be fair to the Happy Cow readers to not make an objective review. The staff was friendly, but very quiet and didn't explain the menu or the faux meat products that are in almost every dish. The restaurant is very small. Maybe ten tables, don't sit next to the door, on a cold winter night every time the door opens you get a cold breeze.

There are a wall of stand up freezers featuring a boggling array of mostly imported Asian faux meats, I did see some Canadian made foodstuff there also. Many of the mock meats had eggs and or dairy so read carefully. To be honest in over ten years of being veg/vegan I have never seen products like these. The bacon looks eerily like real bacon... We didn't opt to take any if these frozen products home. But they look like fun to try. Also they were quite pricey.

Now, to the meal. The soy nuggets appetizer was delicious, yet small, get two orders if you are hungry. The satay appetizer was not that great, both came out within five minutes of ordering, which is great if you are in a rush. However neither came with dipping sauce which would have made them so much better. We then ordered the Teriyaki "chicken" , fried noodles and mixed veggies. Within ten min that was all brought out. Again, great if you are in a hurry, however I am a bit of a food snob who prefers freshly made food. This came out just far too quickly to be freshly made. I realize that considering most of the menu is made up of frozen soy products that they only need to be heated before serving, I still felt the meal seemed like it was thrown together too quickly. BUT. It tasted great, the noodles were yummy with bits of soy protein thrown in. The teriyaki chicken was very good, faux meats can weird me out but it was very tasty. The mixed veg should have been called a giant plate of bok choy, however it was pretty good too.

All in all a good experience. Good food, and supporting what appears to be a family run business that is all vegetarian! While the menu and style of food they serve is very similar to another very popular veg restaurant in Edmonton Loma House was much cheaper and the food didn't appear to be as heavy, we felt light and clean when we got home.

We will be back, many more times I imagine. Go check it out!

YUM!!!

Really delicious vegetarian fare, and the prices are quite low. We had the combo meals and were really pleased with the quality and the portion size. The smoothies are to die for! I also really liked how they have freezers full of take home items, some of which are made in store while others are imported.

Pros: great value, tasty food, helpful staff

Cons: Really far on the south side

Interesting but great

I am always suprised by the prices here. Everything is insanely cheap. Not a bad thing though. It means I can order a better variety of things. We always get stuff to share as a family and are always suckered into dessert and juices.

Pros: Super cheap, Interesting choices, Flowering tea!

Cons: Very weird location, Close at 8, Menu a little confusing

Great Little Eatery!

I have eaten here numerous times and it is one of my go to stops when I am on the South Side! I remember when this place was just a couple freezers, unpainted walls,veggie sushi and smoothies. It impressed me then and still impresses me now. The owner is great. He is friendly and knowledgeable about all his products and if you need any help with ingredients just ask! They stock a couple of vegetarian things that I have not found anywhere else, like the vegetarian tom yum soup paste/bouillon. Pre-made vegetarian dinners are another thing on hand which are great to stock in your freezer for those nights when you don't feel like cooking. In the freezers they also have veggie meat products such as bacon, ham, chicken and shrimp to name a few. As an avid tea lover and drinker, I love that they have teas sets for sale! The food is great and they have a few options which you won't find at other vegetarian restaurants in town, like veggie bbq or curry buns!

Pros: friendly staff, great environment, excellent food

Best vegetarian restaurant in Edmonton

Check out Loma House! Great value and excellent tasting dishes that blow away other restaurants. Not too much salt or sauce, everything was just perfect. The bubble teas are also excellent, I can't wait to try the desserts!

It's absolutely delicious, and if you like anything you can also purchase it from the wall of refrigerators carrying a diverse range of vegan/veggie frozen foods. Yum!

Pros: Taste, Price, Healthy

Cons: ?

vegan respite - tasty vegan fare

Smart enough decor, very pleasant service, and nicely presented food.
What else could you ask for?
Good size potions and reasonable pricing.
I recommend the Lima House wholeheartedly.

Support these lovely people so that this 'oasis' remains open to those who need it.

Pros: nice setting, good food, friendly service

Hi Christine Bean, thanks for the review of this place. I just spent the summer in Edmonton and it is nice to see some new places opening there.
