    I ordered Signature fried noodle with carrots, Chinese cabbage, oyster mushrooms, long cabbage, vege prawn meat, vegetarian bbq meat. This tasted very familiar to the Chinese American lo mein I grew up eating. The to-go container was large and full. I also ordered the dumplings under “Snacks”. They are friend crispy and filled with fake chicken meat. Unfortunately it did not come with sauce and was very dry. I threw them away. The sea coconut dessert is light & refreshing.

    Quite a happy outcome after a nice lunch selection from a mixed varieties of delicious vegetarian dishes. Like their fried yellow noodles in dark soya sauce. For those who love the traditional Hakka "Lui Char", this is a great place to savour its fresh condiments, especially the fried peanuts which are free of oily effect and very nutty. The menthol leaves grounded to perfection is just great. Pricing is very reasonable 👍👍

    Absolutely terrible place. The people running this would be slapped if it weren't for their advanced age. They are such scoundrels. They ignore you even after you complained to them that your order was placed like 1 hr ago and they have not even started on it when you show up to collect it. They must be banned from Grab and FoodPanda. Being slow is one thing but being smugly nonchalant about it simply is unpardonable pathetic behavior no matter their age.

    Honestly was looking for a veggie shop while passing by and stumbled across this. The place is well located at the corner but parking is difficult. The food was delicious and the service fast.( When asked they said less customer) I ordered nyonya curry mee and some tofu dish. Tbh do worth it.

    Nice, clean and decent vege restaurant at Setapak. Tried some individual dishes like vege tofu rice and lui cha..Tastes are good. Also tried a few of the desserts like green bean soup, sea coconut with longan..Really good. Reasonable price too ! This is the place if you feel like eating vege diet.

    It's last minute decision to google this vegetarian restaurant near by our parents place, and it's definitely a rare place to have dinner. Beside the varieties offered, they're great place to have 🍽 @ this hours. There's a lot of people who come by, but SOPs strictly adherence definitely a plus for us to want to dine @ not overly crowded place. Highly recommend as tried the dishes marked recommend by chef and we are agreeing to the marking except a few dishes need to highlight to them less salty plus less oily if possible. Best of all tbey have a Muslim staff who man the cashier which ease our dining for sure. We will definitely returning with my parents in the future.

    I’ve always come back for their Cantonese Yin Yong, it’s the best and portions are huge. Some others that i occasionally go for is their curry mee, fish head noodles - worth a try! They sell frozen and dry food too, I’m always spending more than I planned to.

  • 2/5 chieumei t. 7 months ago on Google • 19 reviews
    I personally don’t like the service there, 1. I went there at 230 and been told I only can take away or eat within half an hour cause they want to close the restaurant sharp at 3. 😞. 2. Finally able to dine in there, my kid’s spoon dropped on floor and asked them to change a new one, but they just rinsed it and passed it back to me. 3. Food served slow, hence I took the cracker from shelf and opened for my kids cause they were hungry, however, later on I’d been warned by the waitress that we cannot simply open the food from shelf without permission, hmm, I felt offended as I’m not intending to eat the cracker without paying. Overall, food taste so so for dishes but I like their kampung fried rice. If their service can improve then I will definitely go back to the restaurant again. *ps: parking is an issue during lunch time.

    Food is okay, price isn't too bad. It's nicely decorated and played soft acoustic music (at least the time I visited). Large menu with a lot of mock meat dishes, although it is a bit more oily than I like. On a brighter note, food came to the table very fast! It's very easy to find because the outside is very visible and parking is no trouble. Although, the chairs are a bit worn at the seams, they are very comfortable to sit on. However, tissues aren't a very easy access item and I hope this issue gets resolve soon. Otherwise, very nice restaurant. I recommend coming with family and/or friends. If you are a student, this place is a good place for studying as it's quiet and has an assortment of calming beverages. (photo attatched is the Chinese Tea) edit: I came back 3 weeks later and had the sweet and sour mushrooms with ginger tea again, and the place hasn't changed at all. Still quite cozy!

    Disaster. Order their vegetarian asam laksa and it taste horrible. Presentation and taste wise totally failed. Price is towards the high side.

  • 4/5 Vincent L. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was good and great selection from single portion menu to family portion. Price is reasonable. Taste for me is a little bit too flavour for my taste

  • 1/5 Joyful F. 5 months ago on Google
    if you are one person - do not go in unless you plan to eat ay least 2 person's food. They are bias and rude, if your bill is small. They have a variety of food. What is edible are the ala carte and more pricey ones. If you don't believe me, just try getting their Rm11 (about) curry noodles. And they serve the most unhealthy vegan ingredients - a whole pot of artificial meat. If you don't mind eating artificially, chemically processed meat.

  • 1/5 Cuki Y. 1 year ago on Google
    If lunch hour during working days better dont come. Order 2 leiCha and Wait for 1 hour still not yet come. Asking them to cancel the order but they keep saying will check the kitchen(eventhough ask for many times also give same answer). 1 plate LeiCha cost RM13 too, such a high price but end up so bad service. Feel really unworth to try.

    Small shop and not sufficient place to sit. Big tables are reserved for 10 people and above only. If you are with 9 people also ...u wil be seated at a four persins table. Very congested. Not happy.

  • 1/5 Rachel G. 1 year ago on Google
    Been going to this place for the past 3-4 years. The service is only getting worse. The last visit was horrible-food was meh..and far more worse is the service. 1. They will never come to your table even if you call, they pretend like they don’t see you. 2. One of the girl staff even made an annoyed face when I called her to ask for my order which by the way took more than 30min. 2 families who came before me were served earlier than me. This is a classic example of how you will continue loosing business from people who frequent your place.

  • 4/5 Ruha 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place for vegetarian food. I like their curry Mee. One of my favorite place to eat curry Mee. A bit spicy but it's a good dish for people who loves spicy curry mee. There are plenty of other vegetarian dishes as well.

  • 5/5 bryan c. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered thunder tea rice, and sea coconut for dessert (i pour some soup into the dish, that’s why it’s green) You can order, through their manual menu book, or scan the QR code on the table. They do sell some vegetarian food supply, and some vegetarian buns as well. Check out the shelf for other stuffs.

    1st tie visit for me and family. Place kept clean. Location is good with help of geole map. Arki g space available around the shop. Food variety is good. Price reasonable. Taste average. They followed the SOP set during MCO period. Recommended for a good Chinese vegetarian meal for self or with family or friends.

    Have a simple meal and ordered Lui Cha surprising taste good. Because this dish is prepared and it speed up the serving. Yes is going to be a long wait on 1st and 15th of Chinese calender. They have changed their menu again and more varieties to try out.

  • 4/5 Klein C. 3 years ago on Google
    The lei cha is good, not heavy taste. I prefer heavier taste i tried before in JB. All food taste are lighter so i believe they are healthier meals. So, if you want healthy please come and try. They have just introduced new set lunch RM9.90 few weeks ago. Food portion is reasonable, at least I'm feeling full. Price for ala carte is also reasonable. So, all good here. Please come!

  • 2/5 Laura A. 5 years ago on Google
    Ordered lei cha and the green soup was so bad, it was so watery (picture below) and made the lei cha taste worse. The lei cha itself had a good portion tho. Ordered the vege soup as well, it was just OK. The waitress was slightly cringy, she looked at us and acted abit weird.

  • 4/5 Jonson C. 4 years ago on Google
    Good vegetarian food. Wide choices. Tried the Bak Kut Teh and Lei Cha. Both good. Overall decent service but one staff needs to be a little friendlier.

  • 3/5 Chon Onn Eric K. 5 years ago on Google
    Food and price is reasonably good. Only one thing , they need to maintain their washroom better

  • 3/5 Ganeson G. 4 years ago on Google
    Reached the shop at 9pm, and the staff couldn’t be bothered to serve us. Then came a staff at 9.10 and told us that the shop will close at 9.30. (Despite google states 11pm and their own website states 10pm). We ordered the food then 9.20pm the staff reminded us again that they will close. Another staff literally couldn’t be wait to pass us the bill and asked for the payment. Overall the food was nice but the staff made sure we couldn’t eat the food properly but was the staff made sure they got us out before 9.30.

  • 2/5 Kok wei S. 4 years ago on Google
    The fish head noodles dish that was served was prepared to look nice but no attempt was made to ensure the favours were incorporated. On eating the dish I found tht the seasoning was just piled in the middle, resulting in me nearly gagging on the sour taste. I immediately mixed the entire bowl up to make it palatable.

  • 1/5 JNT J. 3 years ago on Google
    rice is cold, food is too simple for the expensive price, drinks is tasteless, no different from plain water with sugar.. better go RU YI.

    All vegetarians should try their dishes. Not only the food delicious, but the price also very fair. People who eat vegetarian but often don’t know where to eat should have a try.

    Prices Are Reasonable But Service Is Slow

  • 1/5 JC 4 years ago on Google
    Extremely bad service - service is very slow and cannot take order properly. Was supposed to get a lunch set but ended up going for ala carte only, even when reminded that it was a set. Way too overpriced as well. Sweet and sour mushroom rice was of very small portion, less than 5 pieces of king oysters mushroom for RM9.50. Food doesn't taste good too, vegetables were very raw although the fried mushroom is ok. Weird taste in the rice too and found a hair halfway through. Concerned about the hygiene...

  • 4/5 Kaelvin G. 4 years ago on Google
    Can be very quiet during off peak and very busy with peak vegetarian day. They have posted outside the shop stating that they are times with low manpower so be prepared for a slow service during peak times. Food price is averagely priced with the non vegetarian food outside of the shop. However, the taste are good and have been consistent.

    There is this annoying uncle rushing to greet you by tapping frantically at the "Use The Front Door" sign. Hello, WE CAN READ!! If the so call "side door" cannot be use, locked it or demolish it!! What is the purpose of having one and made customers walk all the way the entrance with no reception nor registration are needed? So annoying. The restaurant is cramp and worst, the food are oily, the sea coconut drinks is made from canned longan syrup add with water. Will never ever go there again. NEVER!!
