Little Beans Gourmet — Restaurant in Western Australia

The new Bean on the block! Vegetarian heaven!

I have not been to many vegetarian restaurants in Perth and I am glad that there is an Asian restaurant now that I can recommend to my friends and family who are. The whole menu is vegetarian!

Now that alone cannot be the only thing that one will give a review for. For me personally, it all boils down to the experience from the moment you walk in and even down to how they treat you when you walk out.

I decided to review this restaurant yesterday and brought a whole gang so we could try quite a few dishes. The Nasi Lemak KFC was good but lacked sambal, the fried rice was very bland, Curry Mee was good, Mee Goreng was flavourful, Wonton Mee was surprisingly very oily and vegetarian Sui Mai was quite spongy.

The name Little Bean i would say is definitely pointing to their speciality of soy bean so i would think it would be good to review that as well. The fresh soya bean drink was quite refreshing and you can control the sweetness that you prefer. The soya pudding however was a let down. Asked for a hot one and it was served neither hot or cold.

The service by the staff members I would say need some work. Some of them looked uninviting. I understand that you can get busy at times but maybe look at rostering extra people at busier shifts as that might help.

Some of the food selection on the menu is also quite pricey for what is served on the plate.

Still recommend that you give Little Beans...

This is a late review. As a busy working mum, I didn’t get to write this earlier. My family didn’t have a good experience at LBG in 2021. We had booked in for lunch. Our friends are vegans and we thought, let’s take them for a yummy meal. We heard good things about LBG. We had a then young bubba, only 5 months old. We were running just slightly late by a few minutes (as parents with babies do) and we were being pestered through phone calls by the lady owner. She was quite rude on our arrival, she spoke in a rude tone and repeatedly said she was trying to call us. Which we were quite aware of as both hubby and I were trying to get our fussy baby (who had a tough night with teething) into the stroller from the car park. Our friends had to come from a distance away, they were right behind us on arrival and also greeted rudely by the lady owner. After I explained why we were running late and apologised, I did not get any response from the lady owner.

We definitely won’t be coming back and the other family that were with us that day won’t be visiting again either. We have all not visited since we were treated that way in 2021.

Also, LBG did not have a fair Eftpos minimum limit back in 2021, charging an exorbitant amount of fees for each transaction under their high minimum eftpos limit. I hope this has improved since then, to be fair to customers. I’m sure negotiating with their chosen financial...

Ordered a takeaway today and had a bad experience with this place - we were halfway home when they called and advised that they had given us the wrong order. My husband agreed to go back and change the order after dropping my baby and me home although we live about half an hour away and had an upset baby in the car. When he returned with the food they put the the blame on me for picking up the incorrect food items and not checking claiming that they had double checked with me that I was the right person and exactly what the order was. Why would I purposely identify to be a person who I was not and agree to pick up food that I didn’t order and pay more for that food to drive half an hour back to return it? Apologised only when I called to rectify the situation and just the way they handled the whole thing was quite awful. Not taking ownership of any fault at all. Apparently they don’t do refunds as well so when you order a takeaway please make sure you check before you walk away. They also claimed that they will need to throw away the incorrect food order but made very sure they checked that my husband brought every single incorrect food item back so that they could throw it away? So far we have trusted most restaurants to provide the right order without checking but I suppose we can’t always be too trusting. Won’t go back for sure based on...
