Prepare to be Full - Edit
I’ve had food delivered from Yuan several times and it’s decent. But nothing beats the all you can eat at the restaurant. They have a huge vegan sushi menu including vegan fish and shrimp. They also have many warm options, tempura, soups, noodles, tofu dishes and faux meat dishes. My favourite is the crispy “beef” in a sweet and tangy sesame sauce.

Great value - Edit
I love yuan, especially the all you can eat service that is a super great value. The take out/delivery is also cheap and the portions are generous. My all time favourite is the eggplant tao!!!

Tried eel nigiri and imperial roll — pretty good flavours and a metric f tonne of choice for vegans. Inexpensive for what u get as well good portion sizes for sushi!!!!!
Read morePros: Tonnes of option, Nice price , EEL NIGIRI
Cons: Imperial roll was a bit OTT with the fried batter, ^^^ for my liking. Maybe it’s your thing

Plenty of plant-based choices - Edit
We took the all you can eat menu, I was surprised by their options of plant-based "chicken", "beef", "see-food". We tried a lot of things. Also, most of their menu is vegan and they specify which dishes contain milk or eggs.
Read moreGreat textures, great flavors, it was nice.
I wanted to have some dessert but the only vegan option they had was a brownie and I do not like these. The other desserts they offered had dairy products in them.
They could offer more vegan desserts.
over all, we had a good meal.
Pros: variaty, tasty food, good price
Cons: just one vegan dessert

Decent Chinese food - Edit
I had been craving Chinese takeout and was delighted to discover this place. The vegetables were fresh but I found the sauce watery and lacking flavour for the Bouddha’s delight and really greasy and lacking flavour for the Teppanyaki Shiitake. Probably wouldn’t order from them again.

Extensive menu and huge portions - Edit
There are too much things on the menu...so hard to choose! Everything we took turned out to be really good. It is not too expensive. You can choose between a la Carte menu or buffet for $22.

Not great for those with gluten intolerance - Edit
NOT GOING BACK - terrible service
Read moreMy experience was not reallly great. The food was nice and what I expected for a 10$ lunch menu, but one of the waitresses just could not get her head wrapped around the idea that I needed my food to be both gluten and dairy free. The first waitress, the shorter one (I was there yesterday for lunch), took the time to ask the cook for information and offered me stir-fried vegetables without sauce as my only option outside sushi. When she brought my plate, she put a sauce on the side that she claimed was tamari, but it was red and did not taste like tamari at all. It was actually flavourless and very oily, so I was glad it was on the side. I ordered the crispy shitake mushrooms and am praying that she was honest about it being gluten and dairy free.
When it came time to ask about the dessert included in the lunch menu, I spoke with the other waitress who said the day's choice was a brownie or ice cream. I mentioned my intolerances, so she asked the cook then came back and said the brownie had gluten, so I could have the ice cream. I repeated about the dairy intolerance, so she said I could have the brownie. I just told her to stop and never mind, which seemed to have highly disappointed her.
When it came time to pay, the short waitress made it to the cash first and charged me the price for the dinner menu! When I asked to correct that, she said it was basically the same thing, but I was there at lunch time! The debit machine took a long time to work. Needless to say, I did not leave a tip and I'm not going back.
Pros: Food was fine, Spacious and bright
Cons: Not good for those with gluten/dairy intolerance, Damp smell, Staff might need French lessons

Arrive hungry! - Edit
Everything here is good and quick, the food is good, some can be pretty salty but it’s never bad. You must try the peanut raviolis!

Chinese comfort food (but vegan!) - Edit
Yuan is an excellent vegan option for those craving Chinese food, especially items not normally vegan. Their tasting menu is sure to have something to please everyone. Reasonably priced.

great with a group - Edit
I love going here with a group. You can try so many things when there are many people, which is a good thing since their menu is extensive. It is a "buffet-style," but ordered off a menu so nothing is wasted. The food is yummy, a lot of faux-meats, so fun to have every now and then!
Read morePros: big menu

Buffet is a fun option! - Edit
We decided to try the all you can eat buffet for or first time at Yuan. Rather than a buffet that you walk up to and dish your own food, the server brings a two-page packer and you mark what you’d like and the quantity with a pencil. The dishes are very small, our server actually advised us to order more than we originally had. You can order as many times as you like. It was a fun option especially to try lots of things, but a little expensive. I’d recommend trying it once but ordering off the regular menu after that!

Meh - Edit
The first time we attempted to come here for their lunch buffet, we came at 2pm (their hours are listed until 3pm), and they told us they closed early “at 2:30” because they didn’t have customers. So we left and came back the next day, this time at 1:30pm and they told us “we close the buffet at 2pm so you can only order a la cart,” both times giving us false hours (half hour later than current time, weird) and different policies. This second time there were other customers eating at the buffet, so I’m not sure what the time discrepancy was other than they just didn’t want us to stay too long so they could close?? Even though their hours are until 3pm. The food we did order was bland.

Not really a buffet, but really good! - Edit
I would call this more an all you can eat tasting menu than a buffet- you order from a sheet and adorable tiny portions are delivered.
Read moreThat said, the food was amazing, so diverse and almost all vegan! The service was really friendly and casual, not super obsequious like you get in some asian restaurants. English spoken well, price very good, nice decoration inside and atmosphere!
Pros: Amazing food, Friendly staff, Great atmosphere
Cons: Seated next to other guests when almost empty

Food was pretty good but out of three sushi rolls we ordered, two were wrong - and the server wasn’t very nice about replacing them.

Super endroit! - Edit
J’y suis allée avec 8 amis omnivores et même les plus sceptiques ont aimé. Le service était agréable, la nourriture était délicieuse et la facture était elle aussi toute douce. La qualité est bien meilleure que dans les buffets asiatiques réguliers, pour environ le même prix. Seul bémol: il n’y a aucun alcool sur place et ce n’est pas un apportez votre vin non plus.
Read morePros: Nourriture délicieuse, Service efficace, Pas cher pour la quantité et la qualité
Cons: Aucune possibilité d’y consommer de l’alcool

Best vegetarian in Montreal - Edit
This is my very favourite veggie restaurant in Montreal. I have been eating here for over 12 years, the food is always delicious. The owners are sweet and kind and always remember me, even when it’s been a while. It is a perfect place if you like Asian vegetarian cuisine

Veggie/vegan "All you can eat" !!! 😱 - Edit
Ça fait plaisir de trouver un restaurant asiatique vegan/végé avec un buffet à volonté !
Read moreLe choix se fait en cochant ce que l'on souhaite sur un menu, donc les plats arrivent chaud et n'ont pas cet aspect de réchauffé comme dans les restaurants à volonté "classiques" !
Si vous passez sur Montréal et que vous aimez avoir du choix (beaucoup) et découvrir différentes saveurs en un repas je vous recommande vivement ce restaurant !
Ps: Il y a une petite épicerie de surgelés à l'entrée du resto où vous pouvez trouver des choses vegan/asiatique très intéressantes
Pros: Quasiment 100% vegan

over all good - Edit
Very good and wide selection for vegans. Everyone was pleased everytime. Some options have dairy which can be tricky at first. Vegan deserts (especially ice cream) would be a game changer !
Read morePros: lots of options , cheap on weekdays and lunch
Cons: slooooow service , a bit expensive on weekends , no vegan desserts
