vina vegan restaurant

no faults by vina. i went here last night with a friend of mine not expecting much however i was pleasantly surprised. very calm and quiet atmosphere as you enter therestaurantwith friendly waitstaff eager to help.

the menu is all interesting and very reasonably priced. we tried the mock chicken nuggets and they were delicious! . we took our time and were not feeling we had to leave quickly.


definitely will be back !

okay. i think vina’s has taken the no. 1 spot for my fav veganrestaurantin sydney! my favourite is the combination fried rice. its delicious. the vegan nuggets and crispy wantons are unreal. would have vinas over golden lotus any day

really nice and fresh food. peking not duck roles were great! the samosas are quite smaller than average (very cute none the less) but service was quick.
service was friendly and kind, although a bit disjointed at times. therestaurantwasn’t packed and also had outdoor seating, so a good option seeing most places on king street were packed.
will definitely return soon to try some more options!

food was decent but considering the 50 minute wait for the entree, one entree never appearing and the rice following our main dish 10 minutes later the experience could have some decent improvements. the main focus for therestaurantseemed to be on the ubereats orders leaving rather than the customers in store. in the time that we had waited for our entree to come (which was was rice paper rolls and didn't require cooking) another customer had arrived, eaten an entree and a main, had left and had her table cleared.

first time at vina veganrestaurantand i was not disappointed, as i am a vegetarian i usually only get 3 or 4 options on a menu but here everything is vegan!

delicious flavours, fresh ingredients + fast service.

vina has a relaxed atmosphere - somewhere you can let you hair down and bring a bottle of wine (byow 🍷).

highly recommend their speciality pancake, recommended by staff.

we tried:-
-fresh rice paper rolls (gf)
-savoury pancake (gf)
-fried rice with seaweed

this is therestauranti’ve probably been to around 50 times! after their revamp and new menu.. i only want to come back more!! the staff are friendly, service is quite and everything is very well priced and portioned! the atmosphere is great and honestly not too crazy.

honestly all the food menu items are amazing (especially the noodle soups and fried rice!!); stir-fries are average for me. my favourites have got to be the curry noodle soup, duck noodle soup, claypot/seaweed/beetroot fried rice.. and counting haha oh and the cocomint crushie is amazing.
everything is really well flavoured and not over flavoured or over oily etc. it’s perfect 👌

just go and try for yourself!! worth the short walk down from golden lotus!! 🤫😁 now they just have to introduce a rewards system for going to theirrestaurantso many times haha 🤫

we decided to duck into vina, having crossed by thisrestauranton 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 great place to eat!!!

if you're looking for delicious vegetarian food, then this vietnamese family runrestaurantis the place to 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 this place and will definitely come back!!

nice vietnameserestaurantfor vegans. with the whole menu being vegan it is quite impressive. the crispy mock fish nuggets were filling and delicious and the vermicelli w/ spring rolls and mock chicken nuggets was also quite delicious despite having no central sauce or soup. however the traditional vina pho bo was an absolute miss for me. when it was placed on the table the off smell was apparent to me. the soup had a weird pineapple taste to it with coriander? was not able to eat it at all but luckily my partner was able to eat it. if you want a traditional beef pho taste do not order the traditional vina pho bo.

great restaurant!. vina is a greatrestaurantwhich is vegetarian, specialising in a while variety of mock meats (some of the reviewers here seem to think it is real meat - this is not the case!)
the owners are always warm and friendly and i would strongly recommend vina for a relaxing night out in a laid back environment. (also - the curry buns are great!)

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 thatrestaurantbut in my mind i was hoping to discover some interesting vietnamese dishes with vegetables only. what therestaurantoffers 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 a place to 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 thisrestaurantwhen it was a regular vietnameserestaurantwith 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 vegetarianrestaurantopening in it's place and i am so angry i moved out because this is honestly my favouriterestaurantin 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! :)

vina is one of my favorite places in newtown that i feel comfortable bringing both fellow vegetarians and carnivores. my friends and i have never been disappointed. i am not a big fan of mock meats but vina uses them to great effect. i have used some of their ideas in my own cooking! the food is always fresh, and the family feel service is always a shelter. highly recommended. make a reservation for a big group, because this quiet littlerestaurantis getting busier by the week- for good reason!

...i headed to vina vegetarianrestauranton wednesday last week. things can be quite busy at this time of year, so we were keen to have the night off from kitchen duties mid-week. newtown was absolutely bustling for a wednesday night! the ambience at vina is not the drawcard at this family run business however the the food is. i was keen to go to vina for dinner in part because i had a hankering for some vegetarian sweet & sour 'pork'and i was sure that vina would offer something similar on
