Delicious and nourishing

The good people of Lotus Seed clearly care deeply about their business. They are also just wonderful human beings. During the height of the pandemic, they were preparing and delivering free meals to healthcare workers at the hospital nearby.
I recommend the sunny patewich, the poke bowl, and the eggs benedict. Just really delicious and nourishing food.

Pros: Good vibe, Delicious food, Wonderful staff

Cons: Pricey, Bathroom is awkward

Cozy, friendly place.

Pretty good pho and other vegan dishes. Not the greatest Vietnamese vegan dining available in Vancouver - but yummy, comforting, and convenient nonetheless.

So colourful!

We ordered the organic scrambled tofu, the satay platter and the South American burrito between the two of us thinking that the portions might be small....we were wrong, all the portions are big, vibrant and delicious. The yams were perfectly soft and naturally sweet, the tofu were tasty, loved the dip which I believe is probably a salad dressing dip, the salad complimented all the dishes well. The satay were great, pertically enjoyed the juicy pineapples. The brown rice was exactly the consistency that I love in a rice dish, it had that sticky sushi rice texture, like it doesn't easily break apart when you pick it up with a pair of chopsticks.The burrito was okay, very heavy and at first tasted very floral because of the purple vegetable in there (purple cabbage perhaps), the burrito had rice and beans in there and cheese, very stuffed. Only thing is, there's no knife, we were just given a spoon and a fork for everything, it made cutting the burrito difficult and messy. The price was fair and we came at pretty much the peak lunch time hour so had to wait a bit but totally understandable. It's a nice little place! I would also like to mention that the gentleman that took our order was delightful, he's the guy that's a bit older and was cleaning up tables, turns out he took orders too. Anyways he was very nice and looked a bit like the main ninja sushi guy from John Wick 3....just sayin'.

Pros: Nice staff, Delicious food

Cons: No knives?

Sehr lecker und angenehme Atmosphäre

Very delicious and fast in serving. Free water and various tasty tees. For me, the music was a bit too loud, that's why it's "only" four stars. Would always go there again!

Pros: Everything is vegan

Cons: Music a bit too loud

Bahn mi style pate sandwich goodness

I had the pate (tuna-like) sandwich here the other day and I was amazed. So fresh and delicious. I came with a few non vegans and everyone really enjoyed their meals (Pineapple Express burrito, yam soup, spring rolls, etc.). Low prices, good food, friendly service. Will return

Pros: Excellent for gf eaters

Lots of options. Yummy food

This place was in Burnaby then moved to Broadway near Willow last year so not as close for me now. Everything I have tried so far here has been delicious. Food comes out fast but can be slow to take your order when busy.

Pros: All vegan cafe, many choices, Friendly owners/staff

Cons: pay parking , small restaurant , Washroom is downstairs and only one.

Lots of good stuff

Friendly and fast service... the food came so quick. Everything was good and there were nice serving sizes - I had a nice big bowl of Hanoi soup... I also tried their spring rolls which were good too. They have a full on coffee service so you can get cappuccino, latte etc with almond, coconut or soy.
The atmosphere was decent considering that is right on Broadway. The Decor was nice too.

Pros: Fast and friendly service, Lots of options to try & BIG portions, All Vegan

Cons: A little pricey but not ridiculous

Yummy

Wonderful and welcoming staff. Nice ambiance and great food. We will definately be back to try more off the menu. We shared an order of baked spring rolls. They were crispy and tasty. I had the Pho, which was a very large portion with a great tasting base (better than most non vegan pho I've tried) with lots of fresh vegetables and a generous portion of tofu. My husband had the lemongrass coconut curry with rice noodle (he will prob order it with brown rice next time) but he said it was great and would order it again. Looking forward to our next adventure there.

A more welcoming staff maybe?!

I've been there a month ago or 2 for lunch time by myself. I had a hot chocolate and lunch. Food was ok and the chocolate delicious. I was having a too high expectation I think and got a bit disappointed. And wasn't feeling really welcome even thought the restaurant was far from being full, I was feeling pressured to order and as fast as I can. Questions were answered "kind of" without a smile and so I wasn't feeling very comfortable...

Pros: Good food and filling

Really good!

The food is fresh and delicious (we had the tofu bennys lemongrass curry) and the coffee was alright too, I suggest the coconut latte over the almond. The owners are super friendly and our order was served quickly. I recommend you check it out!

Great Vegan Spot in Vancouver

I had the baked spring rolls, grilled satay platter, and the the cheesecake. All were flavorful and a must try! The baked spring roll have way less fat than fried which I loved and were not heavy. The satay plate was filling and full of flavor. The cheesecake was one of the best I ever had. You have to come here. Wow!

Pros: Lots of flavorful veg options
