Always Amazing - Edit
My non-vegetarian friend turned me on to this place a few years ago. They have the best gluten-free noodle dishes and vegan rice balls. Most recently I popped in to treat myself to a birthday lunch and was pleased to try their beetroot and rose petal latte. I wish they opened for dinner and on more days of the week. (But I understand the importance of work-life balance.)

Great Bowls and Sandwiches - Edit
Enjoyed a late lunch in this cozy cafe. A bit loud on this rainy day which can happen when people are trying to talk over music. Really tasty Spicey Yan Tan Ramen and miso glazed eggplant sandwich. Grab and go available too.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE - Edit
Came here for lunch because I was really craving more authentic ramen and this place did not disappoint! We had smoothies, the spicy ramen, and an almond croissant (super random). The flavors were incredible and I loved the space. They also had a small market area where you could buy prepared/frozen meals. I will absolutely be back, such a great find! Also they were okay with me bringing my pup inside😄

Pretty good vegan Asian restaurant - Edit
Ramen and other noodle dishes. Joyous vegan baked goods. Take-out and frozen goods as well. A higher price point than what is warranted, perhaps, but still a yummy spot to have lunch.

Very tasty! - Edit
Many vegan items on the menu and in the grocery section. My first visit I had the spicy ramen salad bowl, very tasty and completely satisfying. I took away a cinnamon roll (good and sticky, warmed up next morning) and a day-old savoury micro-mini-pizza, which was very good warmed up the next day. Soft-serve vegan ice cream is here! Grocery items are available, some chilled and frozen, including three kinds of gyoza, pizza dough and more. This would certainly be a regular stop for me, if I lived in the area.
Read moreOnly 4.5 stars, in my books, since it’s not fully vegan.

Delicious and beautiful! - Edit
All vegetarian and vegan with lots of gluten free options too. My Spicy Tan Tan Ramen (w gluten free rice noodle sub) was a work of art and delicious! The broth is made with Butternut squash and is nice and creamy with no dairy. I'm impressed!

Ramen and sweet treats - Edit
I can't decide which was better, the spicy tan tan ramen or the Kyoto udon. They were both superb. A little pricey for two bowls of soup, but well worth it.
Read moreAlso a great location for coffee and treats -- the croissants are fantastic, some of the best vegan ones I've had. Delicious cinnamon rolls as well.
We're lucky to have this place in the area.

I tried the Spicy Ramen, the Cashew Sauce Veggie Bowl and the house-made Udon Noodle. All three dishes had different flavors and cost about 14-15 dollar.

Will definitely come back!
Pros: Vegan food - only optional add on vegetarian, Decent price, good quality, Bar full of vegan baked goodies

Fantasic ramen! - Edit
We had the avocado toast, both types of ramen, and a cinnamon roll. Fantastic food! The ramen broth is the best I've ever had (shoyu especially) and the noodles are incredible. Avo toast was a little salty but still nice and refreshing. Can't recommend enough! I go back every month or so, it's my favourite restaurant in the world.

Perfect. - Edit
The Workshop is a dream! North Van is blessed to have it, especially considering the lack of veggie places here. The shop is run with precision and calmness. The staff make excellent food and there is a ton of natural light. Some cute accessories and ingredients are also for sale. 100% recommend you go RIGHT NOW.

Best Ramen! - Edit
What a surprise! Had the Organic "Nama" Shoyu Ramen and I melted a little inside. The mushroom stock was delicious...I would drink that stuff by itself. Highly recommend you take the bus or walk to this little hideaway because it's worth it.

Delicious hand made noodles! - Edit
I have visited Workshop three times and received consistently wonderful service and amazing ramen each time. The ingredients are fresh and high quality, the noodles are made by hand, and the broth is very good. They also make vegan cinnamon buns with a daiya cream cheese icing. They have a little shop where they sell frozen noodles and frozen batches of the aforementioned cinnamon buns :)
Read morePros: delicious food, friendly staff, fast service
Cons: not much seating for larger parties
