Best in the world - Edit
This is one of my favourite Chinese vegetarian restaurants in the whole world. I have been frequenting this place for the last 28 years. The quality remains high all these years. Mother Chu used to sit the corner and smiles at all the customers, sadly she passed away about 5 years back, she was in her mid-90s. Her daughter is fantastic and has been running this place efficiently all these years. Service is great. The best part of the food is they don't overdo the mushrooms or mock meat. They actually use vegetables and churn out brilliant dishes. Try their sizzling stuffed lotus root. One of the best spring rolls. I love their crispy tofu as well. I always visit this place whenever I come to Sydney.

Great Chinese in Sydney - Edit
Wonderful food. It was not meat dishes with fake meat replacement, but unique dishes. Mother Chu was also a great hostess and friendly.

Amazing! - Edit
Great food, friendly staff and fast service. Food is delicious and the portion size makes it well worth the money. The sweet and sour gluten was fantastic! I usually don’t like capsicum, but it was cooked in a way where it tasted great. I will be back.

Good Asian food - Edit
Sechuan soup is amazing, but I think I should have picked something else instead of deep fried tofu. But overall, every was good.

Allium-Free Taiwanese Food - Edit
Conveniently located a few minutes' walk from Town Hall Station and Museum Station. One of the few veg*n F&Bs opened at night and pretty crowded each time I visited. Chinese (specifically Taiwanese) allium-free, alchohol-free, and MSG-free vegetarian restaurant; almost all vegan except for a few dishes with honey. Hope they can convert to becoming fully vegan! The entrees were a bit of a hit or miss for me, but the main dishes I tried were great (not oily either). The menu was huge, some of which contained soy or seitan mock meats, and some of which featured tofu and tempeh. Gluten-free options were also labelled.

Amazing - Edit
On my partner and I's day trip to Sydney we stumbled upon this restaurant after searching thoroughly for a good vegan lunch. We weren't disappointed. My partner had sweet and sour pork, whilst I had a fried seaweed dish (forgot the name). We both thoroughly enjoyed our food. Staff were very friendly. We wish we could bring this place back to Melbourne. We will definitely be back when visiting Sydney in the future.

Amazing - Edit
The food here is epic. I've had a lot of vegan Chinese food - this is possibly the best. We ordered wonton noodle soup, spring rolls, curry puffs, vegetable stir fried noodles and fried rice with ham and pineapple. Wowwwwww! I knew it was going to be good, judging by how busy it was for a Thursday night. Friendly staff and delicious food - what can go wrong!! I highly recommend taking time to come here if you're anywhere near here. I'd travel up to 30 mins to come back here. It was seriously that good! Pictured are our left overs

Great vegan food - Edit
Always on the lookout for purely vegetarian or vegan restaurants we were happy to find Mother Chu’s. The restaurant was quite full so service was a bit slow but the food compensated for our wait. The menu is extensive so we asked our waitress for help in deciding and were happy with the choices

Top quality Asian food, unusual dishes - Edit
All vegan except for honey. Very hard to choose between so many options! We had the stir fried crispy Seitan and sizzling lotus root. The Seitan was sweet and sour and crispy, just as it should be. The lotus root had a sweet stuffing (maybe Pumpkin?) and a basil sauce. It was a really interesting flavour combination that I haven't seen before and very much enjoyed it. They also brought out a complimentary appetiser of a fruity, nutty bar which had a bit of a kick and was a great start to the meal.

Comfort food - Edit
Service was friendly but expect to wait more than 30-40 mins for food to arrive (during rush dinner hours). The wanton noodle soup, miso tofu and crispy soya bean roll were delicious but the char siu (pork) bun was just average.

Lovely little kitchen! - Edit
I was accommodated with a table in this little restaurant even though it was packed with people. I had an entree, soup and rice for $20 and I was very satisfied. The hope would be that they remove honey as an ingredient to make it fully vegan.
