Great variety

This place was good but I’d heard so much hype about it that I may be marking it a little hard as it wasn’t as flavourful as I’d hoped.

Pros: Lots of dishes not seen elsewhere , Singapore noodles , Combination plates

Great vegan food!!!

We tried lots of options. Pan fried dumplings, chicken balls, curry vermicelli, sushi platter, BBQ buns, and side of purple rice. All of it was superb! Even our meat eating friend LOVED the food here and was very impressed. We spent $60 for three people and we are all satisfied with our nice Sunday dinner. We're excited to try other items on the menu.

Pros: 99% vegan, All Chinese and other Asian style food, Cheap!

My favorite Chinese restaurant in London

Zen Garden is my favorite vegetarian restaurant in London, and I have visited it many times. I highly recommend the main entrees, such as the Vegetable Curry with Mushrooms. Additionally, the Crispy Soy Fritters are a great appetizer, incredibly crispy and perfect with the plum sauce. The Sticky Rice wrap is also delicious, with plenty of filling. However, I personally do not recommend the sushi, especially the Wunagi Sushi, as the filling is dry and the rice lacks the flavor of sushi vinegar.

Pros: Lots of Chinese Vegan options , Food tasty, Inexpensive

Cons: Sushi taste in general

Lots of options!

We tried dim sum for the first time and it was good, but not great. The inside was cold on some of them, and others needed more sauce. I would try them again, but I wasn't wowed.

Pros: Mostly vegan, clearly marked., Clean, nice atmosphere

Best Spot for Asian Food 🥡

Highly recommend this place for some of the best vegan Chinese food, south of the GTA. Always my lunch spot when I’m in London. The staff is always friendly and the food is always consistent. Definitely worth a stop.

Great food and generous portions

Close to downtown, friendly staff and great vegan meals. Most of the menu is vegan with vegetarian clearly identified. Bit run down from the outside (I wasn’t sure it was open!) but popular for takeaways and there is a constant stream of customers. Quality of food was great and portions are big!

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Portion size, Friendly atmosphere

Cons: Looks run down/closed from outside!

One of My Favourites!

I always order enough to have leftovers for a few days. Their assorted seitan platter is so good. Also, the spring rolls, crystal rolls, wonton soup and dumplings are the best. A couple items on the menu have dairy, but 90% or more is vegan. Love, love, love this place!

Great!

I've been to Zen Gardens many times and it's always a great experience! The staff is friendly, the venue is nice and there are so many vegan options! My favourites are drumsticks, dumplings, and soy chicken avocado rice. I tried the "fish" once, it tasted fairly realstic but I wouldn't order it again.

Pros: Delicious, Many vegan options, Nice atmosphere

Great spot for on-the-go healthy, feel good, food!

This place is a hidden gem of London, it is a great place to stop if you are looking for a healthy alternative to a "fast food" fix. Many vegan options are available and they also allow call ahead & pick up for orders. Great staff as well. All around lovely place.

Filling and a good price

Relatively inexpensive and filling meal. I love that nearly all the food is vegan, with limited (and clearly marked) exceptions. Even has a light vegan dessert. Good customer service, quick preparation time. Always a place that is favourite for a night out.
