Gourmet Vegetarian Restaurant 知味齋

Great place for vegetarian dim sums at fair price and decent portion in today's inflationary environment.

Nice vegetarian food, especially the vegetarian mixed food 齋老味， tasteful and price is better than most vegetarian restaurants and T&T.

Cantonese style Chinese food, staff was soooo friendly and quick! Super tasty! Go with large groups as it’s family sharing portion!

Very interesting variety of food. Several good choices of soups and appetizers in 2 sizes very comprehensive menu.

A nice little place serves wonderful and delicious vegetarian food. The combo platter is a must try. Reasonable price. Offers take out.

Due to pandemic, we have only one hour window to consume our food which is a little rush. Other than that, the food was delicious!

Cheat in meat, without regret.their vegan options are remarkable!

DONE.

This place was so awesome! Gourmet is definitely the right term. My son is vegetarian, I'm good either way, but this place? Just delicious, everyone will enjoy!

BE CAREFUL WHEN ORDERING VEGAN FOOD FROM HERE YOU MIGHT END UP WITH RICE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND SUCH A MISTAKE BECAUSE I STILL HAVE TO WAIT. WHICH I AM OK WITH WAITING HOWEVER LONG IT MIGHT TAKE.
IMAGINE SOME HAVE A REACTION TO THIS. I HAVE SEEN KIDS HAVE BAD REACTION TO THINGS THEY NEVER HAD.
I HAVE BEEN GOING HERE A LONG TIME. BUT DEEP DISAPPOINTED.

We've been going here for years, and we love it. It's tasty and inexpensive, and really nice to have such a great vegetarian selection.

Loved the Black Pepper BBQ Beef Steak! The deep fried squid (the texture was very realistic!), sweet and sour chicken was good and the deep fried taro roll was good not too oily. The almond paste drink dessert was very bitter sadly.

But overall I really loved this place and will come back!

I can never have enough of their $10 bean curds box. I'd honestly order it every other day if I lived nearby

It's not a vegeterian restaurant. They serve meat and fish. Please change your name so vegeterian customers don't get confused

They don’t speak English so they always mess up your order. Plus they’re extremely rude and don’t care for the customers

Great value, delicious vegetarian food and generous portions. Highly recommend the sweet and sour “chicken”, from a long time vegetarian: it tastes like the real thing!

DONT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT. THE FOOD QUALITY IS VERY BAD. I WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS RESTAURANT

Great selections of Chinese vegan mock dishes to choose from, the food is tasty & fresh, friendly staff & the price is right, fully recommended.

Very disappointed about this place! They mixed up my order they take cash only and they make you wait. I don't recommend this place

MY FIRST TIME HERE, THE MENU WAS VERY OVERWHELMING.

WE ORDERED A DISH CALLED "CRISPY TOFU" (THE ONLY DESCRIPTION) AND IT WAS BASICALLY THE VEGETARIAN VERSION OF THE CHINESE CRISPY SKIN ROASTED PORK WITH (VEGETARIAN) JELLYFISH. ***DO NOT ORDER THIS DISH! *** 0/5! IT HAD A FUNKY STALE TASTE AND WAS DRY AND HARD. TASTED LIKE CRUNCHY CARDBOARD.

WE ALSO HAD OTHER ASSORTED TOFU AND MOCK MEATS.

"BBQ PORK" 5/5
"SWEET N SOUR CHICKEN" 5/5
"FLAT RICE NOODLE W. BEEF W. SOYA SAUCE" 5/5
"W. SLICED BEEF W. SATAY SAUCE AND VEGETABLES" 5/5

EVERYTHING ELSE TASTED FANTASTIC! JUST LIKE THE REAL MEAT DISH EXCEPT ITS TOFU AND SOY PROTEINS. WOULD LOVE TO COME BACK AND TRY OTHER DISHES!

Hong Kong style service. Favours customers they know. Rude. Food was so so. My partner was in the washroom and witnessed the male staff not washing their hands after using the washroom! That is disgusting. Let alone during covid pandemic when people are trying to keep themselves and those around them safe!
Floors were sticky, carpet was filthy, menus were sticky. The only covid measure they took was ensuring guests kept their masks on. Don’t go.

Been coming here for over a decade and never disappointed. Hundreds of menu items and everything is worth trying!

Someday there will be nicer names to represent the mock chicken, mock fish etc.
Great flavors and presentations. The dessert is a must have as well.

Great vegetarian place with lots of vegan options. Yummy food and good service. The sweet and sour chicken is to die for! Have already been here twice in 2 weeks.
Recently went for my 3 year old's birthday, and they were very accommodating, and helped us with a cake we brought with us.

Yummies: D highly recommended the black pepper bbq veggie steak, sweet and sour veggie ball and trio veggie platter app

Best VG place in town! Delicious food, authentic Chinese atmosphere, and incredibly friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Delicious food, don’t have to be vegetarian to enjoy it. Menu IS extremely overwhelming, if owners are reading this review I highly recommend changing the menu to make it more simple. We ordered 4 dishes and spring rolls. Our favourites were the Thai fried eggplant and the green beans.

My first time being a customer and my order was screwed up. I should have checked before I left the restaurant. They don't seem like they know how to organize takeout orders. They must have given me the wrong one by mistake. They weren't even that busy, yet they couldn't be bothered to double check my order which cost $16. The dish I did receive was good but I'm really mad. I can't be bothered to go.complain cause it's a 15 minute drive there and back. I'm so hungry and I'm full but not satisfied because I wanted mushrooms with mixed vegetables and not some mushy fried fake shrimp dish covered in nasty mayo sauce.

Good food, but don't lie about using eggs.
I have been a loyal customer for over a decade. The food is delicious here, but I recently found out that they have lied about using eggs in one of their dishes -the lemon chicken. I'm vegan and am allergic to eggs. I always request that all dishes be made vegan (or I don't order dishes that can't be made vegan) and have trusted that they are honest. My cousin, who is also a loyal customer, told me that one of the wait staff told her that there is always a little bit of egg in the lemon chicken (contrary to what they told me a hundred times). I had no idea what was making me so sick each time I dined there - it was the egg in the lemon chicken. Even if someone isn't allergic, it's imprtant to respect vegans and be honest about what's in your food.

Best vegetarian restaurant in GTA North. My favourite dish is the veggie sweet and sour 'pork' - it's C31 on the menu. All my non vegetarian friends and family members love this dish too! Also they have good portions, huge menu, and low prices. Tip: If you're getting takeout be sure to check they got your order right before you leave

CASH ONLY! NO ATM OR DEBIT ON SITE!
Yummy yummy food. Amazing deserts! Bring your appetite.

One of the best vegetarian restaurants I've been to. They have so many options with many mock meats or vegetable dishes that you can choose from. The quality of food is good and the service is fast. The atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing

CASH ONLY. Some of the food is not fresh but the owner refunded the money. Overall this is a nice veggie place with nice people.

Very nice staff and delicious food. Amazing what they're able to make. Many of their ingredients are imported from asain and not available in stores.

Food was delicious and had plenty of options on the menu such as vegetarian beef, vegetarian pork etc.

As a vegetarian for 7 years, this is one of the best vegetarian restaurants I have been to. The price is pretty good too for its food portion.

Loved this place! Delicious food and I was pleasantly surprised by the meat/seafood alternatives

Great vegetarian place with many vegan options that I as a meat eater really enjoyed. The service was exceptional as well. Will definitely come back:)

Great food, and even better service. Prices good, too.
Restart is clean, with basic appearance.
