3.5 stars: good options but not labelled

It's nice to have an alternative to Huong Viet which I wont go to anymore, but HappyCow, strangely, wont let me say why.
Was REALLY excited when I heard that Veggie Inn is owned by the same people that own Vegie mum, which I LOVE.
Sadly, I didn't LOVE my visit, the main problem is NOTHING is labelled vegan, you have to ask about everything individually to make sure. The young waitress we asked didn't leave us with much confidence, as when asked if our choices were vegan, assured us they don't have garlic or onion. I felt much more at ease after checking with the older man (manager vibes).
The salt and pepper tofu, although crunchy, was missing any salt and pepper.
The char kway teoh looked so appetising, but wasn't as flavourful as I would like, and there were lots of char siu pieces in it (my least favourite fake meat).
The dumplings were delicious and served with my favourite vinegar dipping sauce.
The food came out pretty quickly, which was impressive, as it was a full house.
Their decor is really lovely, with beautiful wallpaper.

Pros: Delicious dumplings

Cons: Vegan and vegetarian options not differentiated

In answer to your first point:

1. Read the happy cow rules

2. Probably isn’t wise for happy cow to publish potentially defamatory remarks

3. If you have concerns, report them to whatever authorities are appropriate in Victoria rather than putting them in a review..

Reviews are meant to be about our experience at restaurants, good and bad, not just an edited version, otherwise what's the point.

Not defamatory though.

You’ve written about your experiences at a lot of places and you have said what you wanted about places you didn’t like, I’ve seen a lot of your negative reviews. What you wrote was different.

Well make a complaint with the relevant authorities then. Read the rules of happy cow.

Yeah I should have made a complaint.
And I did read the rules, just saying it doesn't allow us to give our full unedited experience.

Great place, delicious food, wide variety

Well decorated with calming atmosphere. Extensive menu and delicious dishes. Had lunch and done some takeaways. On another occasion we had dinner there. Like the noodles dishes, tried the assam veg. fish and Shanghai ribs. Just great. Will be back for more.

Pros: excellent food, friendly staff, calming vibe
