vina vegan restaurant

thisplaceis very horrible. don't go there. don't waste your money. i ordered a beef soup pho. but i only saw one piece of beef inside my soup. thisplaceis overrated . please don't go there. i had a really bad experience.

really smallplaceto dine but i think they've renovated since i last dined here. the food came out pretty fast and the staff were nice. i got some noodles, but i wasn't the biggest fan of the dish. but it's a goodplaceto come for vegan food, just not my cup of tea.

we decided to duck into vina, having crossed by this restaurant on our way to lentils multiple times. when we entered, we were one of the first diners. my wife was craving some steamed curry dumplings as the entree, so we ordered that. for the mains dish, i stuck to my tried, tested and favourite vietnamese dish, the vermicelli noodles. my wife ordered a fried rice. additionally, i decided to order a vietnamese lime soda. all dishes were very enjoyable. i must admit i'm not a big fan of the mock meats, however my wife completely loved it. the curry dumplings was also extremely tasty. the service was great and i loved the suggestions made by the staff too. all in all, a greatplaceto eat!!!

amazing and affordable vegetarian vietnamese. the vermicelli bun was probably one of the best vermicelli i have had in sydney, meat or no meat. the pho was great and so was the spicy pho. thisplacehas done a very good job at replicating vietnamese dishes using imitation meat. i prefer vina over many of the other vietnamese restaurants in sydney.

if you're looking for delicious vegetarian food, then this vietnamese family run restaurant is theplaceto go to! the portions were large, the staff are so so lovely, they give you a great amount of everything in the dish, the food isn't oily, and the food was so yummy and such good value!
we had the bamboo rice noodle soup with the mock chicken (n5), and the vermicelli with spring rolls with mock chicken nuggets (m6). each dish was only $12. the n5 broth was fantastic- so homely and delicious. both dishes were great. we were savouring literally every mouthful. it tasted even better than it looks.
i am in love with thisplaceand will definitely come back!!

wonderfulplacemuch improved over the years! friendly staff. lots veges, sounds odd but other places focus too much on faux meats. we much prefer vina to golden lotus! try lemon chicken, beef pho, sweet sour pork. all can be gluten free!

it was okay.. went with a group of 4 last night. we made the reservation quite early and it was nice to be served rapidly. waiter was knowledgeable and nice.
being vegetarian myself it felt great to be able to explore mock meat integrated in a multitude of asian dishes.

one negative aspect was around the fact that everything revolves around dishes with mock meat. i understand that it is the gimmick of that restaurant but in my mind i was hoping to discover some interesting vietnamese dishes with vegetables only. what the restaurant offers is the same kind of dishes you would have in any local asian take away but with mock meat. no imagination when it comes to experimenting with vegetarian food unlike places like yulli's in surry hills.
definitely aplaceto take meat eaters to show them what can be done with mock meat but that's it.
i will go back there but not in a hurry...to many other places to check out first.

much love for vina!. i use to live above this restaurant when it was a regular vietnamese restaurant with mock meat options and i remember the manager telling me they were moving and i was devo then he told me there was a full vegetarian restaurant opening in it'splaceand i am so angry i moved out because this is honestly my favourite restaurant in the whole world. so much love for vina!

everything on the menu is a+! my personal favourite entrée is the mock fish nuggets which is e5 and main is the mock soy potato and pepper pork which is m15b. they are both a must have if you visit! :)

i'm a mock meat addict, and thisplacedistinguishes itself by being vietnamese rather than chinese or thai. really great, unusual flavours - particularly impressive was the mock chicken curry. so delicious! will be back, for sure.

i'd personally recommend that one doesn't dine here thinking that thisplacewill serve vegetarian versions of meat or fish, but rather as aplacethat serves tasty and varied vietnamese vegetarian fare. none of us tried any on the night, but you can also

great food & service. my partner is a die-hard meat-eater, but accomodates my vegetarianism by coming to all-veg restaurants occasionally. he loves the food at vina, and so do i - especially the 'chicken' rice paper roll platter for two. almost everything on the menu is vegan, and truly delicious.

the atmosphere is classic 'neighbourhood asian' - clean, cheap & cheerful. the staff are incredibly friendly, and have a family feel. i imagine this would be a goodplaceto veg families to come with kids - it's very relaxed, and the food is cheap & tasty.

a vegetarian's heaven. an oasis in newtown: quiet, clean, pleasant and the food is delicious. both meet-style-veggie dishes and more vegetarian looking ones.

the service is not professional, more like attentive home hospitality. you get a complimentary cup of tea while waiting for a take-away.

hope to see thisplacetake off and become a permanent institution in newtown.
