Paradise Vegetarian Noodle House / Nam Vegan Express

This is a 5/5 stars %! If it’s this good next time…cos I DEFINITELY returning, then I give it a 6/5! It’s that flippen goood!
I had the vegan pho and the crispy Chow Mein. It’s epic in every way!
Honestly, i don’t want to post more because it will get to busy and I’ll have to wait!
A fellow dinner, even asked me if I wanted to try one they’re Sautéed Garlic Beef balls! Geez it was just incredible (let alone the fact that this dude offered me to taste it!) that’s the kind of place this is! CREATIVELY BRILLANT!
Love this place and love the vibe it creates! The Essence of vegan is here!

The best food we have ever had! The veggies are cooked perfectly and the sauce has so much flavour. No animal products, no onions and no garlic. Just perfection!

Delicious food, really great prices and huge portions. I order the Bao Buns and the vegan Fried Shrimp for myself with plenty leftover. Amazing service, such a kind gentleman in the front. Will definitely travel from Surrey again.

I cannot say enough good things about this place, absolutely an amazing experience, and now one of my favourite restaurants in the lower mainland. Very impressed, thanks again for a wonderful experience.

Told us we ordered too much food after we wanted to order 2nd time and said we were NOT ALLOWED to order more. Did not advise us, TOLD US NOT TO.

RESPONSE TO OWNER:
Its pretty ignorant of you to say we have the wrong restaurant. My sister and I both remember this exact place because of how we planned to eat there and our actual experience there? You even talked about yourself and how your female partner works in the kitchen. We went there a long time before closing and the restaurant was not full. You told us we ordered too much food to our face. You are making life harder on yourself by judging how much people eat. People rarely forget how you make them feel

Solid option for vegan food! Every item we tried was really good. Reasonable prices, friendly service.

Truly an amazing experience, thank you to the kind staff and the wonderful options that this place provides. Such good food, I cannot stop talking about this place.

This place is the cuuutest and the best! Their wonton soup is great, the broth is SO GOOD! Plus, they are adorable. We just picked up 2 wonton soups and salad rolls and we received the cutest cat drawing, a sticker AND 2 extra salad rolls. Please go whether you’re vegan or not! ️

It was about hour each way via skytrain/bus and we are already planning our second trip! The food is delicious and they went the extra mile. Great stuff. If you are vegan, have food restrictions or just want very healthy food? Nam Vegan Express is as good as it gets.

Lovely vegan spot for a quick lunch. Service was fast, food was tasty, and they had a refined menu that covered all the typical dishes you'd expect without complicating things. Easy to find parking, with a clean interior aesthetic. Love how environmentally conscious they are too!

Great size portions, very tasty food, good service! Was very pleased when we found this place. Will be definitely coming back!

Hidden Gem! Reasonably priced vegan Vietnamese. Good portions, with lots of veggies. Large menu with lots of well known favorites, just all meatless.

Amazing food! So tasty and great portions.
Staff was very nice as well.

I would highly recommend it.

Some of the best vegan food and best Vietnamese food I've ever had. Plus it's inexpensive!

This place is great! The broth for the soup is so flavorful and the ingredients are fresh and delicious. Can’t wait to try more of the menu!

The place is owned by 2 sisters that are serving vegan meals to this community for many years. The son now helps to run the place and it is looking really great. Service and food are delicious

Food was ok but we ordered a gluten-free entree, being sure to confirm with them (twice) that they knew it had to be gluten-free.
When our order arrived, it was clear that the entree had not been made gluten-free.

Ordered takeout from here for the first time tonight and all I can say is WOW! Amazing food! Great service, even though it was just take out. My partner, who isn't vegan, was so impressed. Will definitely be ordering from here again.:)

Amazing food and service. We have found ourself becoming regulars very quickly and have been sharing with our friends!

The food and customer service were absolutely amazing! Thank you for making a creative and delicious meal for me and my family, complete with hand-written notes on the packaging. I highly recommend Paradise Vegetarian Noodle House.

While it is great to have vegetarian/vegan options, it doesn't meet the taste expectations even for a vegetarian. If you have no other option, then this is okay. Not so great.

My family and I love eating here. The owner is so friendly and pleasant to interact with. All the food is delicious. Our favourite is the chicken and broccoli with black bean sauce. We normally make it our Saturday night routine to order from paradise noodle. We have never been disappointed with our meals

The most delicious plant-based Vietnamese cuisine. Unique menu items with mock meats made in house that will please vegans and omnis alike. Warm and attentive service to help you navigate their many delicious menu options. Entrees in the $11 range so add value to the many reasons to eat at Paradise Vegetarian Noodle House.

Tried quite a few dishes, all consistently YUM! Can easily be overlooked from the road, but worth it! All vegan

I’ll tell you why this is a mix review for me normally I love mom and pa stores that are small and friendly and above all else tasty. This is place is all of that and more. Now the reason that is not a 5 is because of the decor and vibe. Everything I like however the environment is a bit dull and unimaginative. I can forgive when the owner gives no thoughts into the decor but clearly this isn’t the case here. Is just not well done and needs a bit of a do over.

Great service with even greater food! Highly recommend to everyone, even if your not vegan/vegetarian.

This tiny nook is a fully-vegan restaurant offering Vietnamese dishes. We ordered a multitude of dishes from eggless fried rolls to DIY wraps. All the dishes tasted amazing and we had a great experience. The seating is COVID-friendly and the service is good.

AMAZING. We got the beef noodle soup, garlic veggie beef, and the seafood soup.

The veggie beef was my absolute favourite and a must have, as well as the beef noodle soup! The soup broth was very flavourful.

I wish on the online menu there was a section for popular dishes as I had a difficult time deciding on what I wanted. Pictures would be nice too!

First, BEST Vegetarian food I’ve ever had. Second, the most amazing women who run this spot, they are beyond compassionate and kind. We had gotten some sad news after placing a food order with them, I forgot and when they called I let them know the situation. I went to go get the food and I was blown away by the kindness I received. I will continue to support this restaurant and share it with friends and family ️

Is there any other vegan place better than this? Great menu, great price and family friendly. 10/10

Everything here is vegan, I had the vegan chicken curry and omg flavor was fantastic. Great service always smiling and happy. This place made me feel cozy! Definitely will be back to try other things here.

Great noodles! The vegan meat a tad bit salty for my liking but was loaded with flavour and texture. I was sad that I couldn't sit inside but looked like there was some kind of structural damage. Next time I will enjoy one of their noodle soups!

The food was okay but the owner/waitress ruined the whole experience.
My two friends and I are trying to eat healthier so we decided to try this place. We tried to ask the waitress about some of the dishes as we were not familiar with the menu. She looked upset and just gave us snap answers, some we could not understand because of her accent. Not going back.

Tried their vegan beef pho. Their pho was super tasty and I love their tofu. I recommend to get the medium spice vegab beef pho for those who aren't vegan and still want to have the same taste as a non vegan pho. I also had their eggless rolls and it hit the spot. The only downside is that their restaurant is small but they work very quick.

Great vegan Vietnamese food and friendly owner. This place is an oasis in a relative food desert in that part of town.

My dish looked really great when I got it. A nice mix of flavors. Not as filling as I had hoped for as it was mostly some veg (bean sprouts, cucumber, and vermicelli) with some vegan BBQ. Had good hot sauce. Quick service, mind you I was nearly alone near lunch time.

The food tastes great, even for a true meat eater like me! Try the cheesecake, truly delicious!

5 StarZ for me! Amazing place, no msg Vegan vietnamese food. Never thought I could eat chow mein again, lemon chicken, salad wrap. Delicious. Food came quick. Definitely coming back!

Absolutely loveeeee this place Delicious every meal is abs delicious.
Two sisters running bussines are amazing
Thank you Great place to stop for vegan, vegetarian meal

Visit here 3 days in a row because of the deliciousness! Their dishes are so tasty, huge amount, and in very cheap price. The curry fried rice was really good, the spices were cooked well into the rice, so it became so fragrant!

I Loved the food. The service is very nice. The ladies are so lovely and kind. You feel very good vibrations there

The sweet and sour chickn was a real treat, with lots of pineapple, tomatoes and cucumber. Also get the crispy noodles! Yum!

Excellent place for large selection of vegan meals. Small and cosy. Cute first date place. Lots of parking. Handicapped parking as well. Bathrooms clean. Debit, credit or cash.

Since becoming vegan I have really missed eating pho. I ordered the vegan beef noodle soup, and it was SO GOOD. I was so happy to be eating pho on a cold day, just like the good old days, but vegan! Also the customer service was perfect and the food very fairly priced.

Great place for vegetarians and vegans alike. But even meat eaters can enjoy it.:) A lot of the dishes are similar, though (vermicelli bowls for example). Prices are also reasonable and the staff is friendly.

Great food at a great price. The "pork" rolls were an excellent appetizer. We also enjoyed the veggie pho and wonton soup. Some of the veggies on the chow mein were a little too soft, but still good! I look forward to coming back and trying other dishes.

Been coming here for about 15 years and have always had a great meal. Their fresh salad rolls are excellent and can be made gluten free upon request. The peanut sauce is to die for. I also thoroughly enjoy the Wonton Soup and Veggie chicken. I don't vary too far off my usual items and often choose take out instead during the popular times to avoid the table wait.

One of my favourite places in Burnaby. There are so many great dishes that it is best to go with a group so you can all order something different and get to know the menu.

Mediocre service and poor atmosphere. The only good thing about the food is that it's vegetarian.

The service is really poor which is why the low rating. They don't clean the tables, give you tea, and when they are busy your food might take 45 mins to come. With that said the food is tasty so if you are ok with poor service then that's fine!

Best cheapest coziest vegan viet food you'll ever eat
if you've been to edmonton it's like padmanadi but better and half the price
