Flower Lantern Vegetarian Restaurant - Nhà Hàng Chay Hoa Đăng — Restaurant in Toronto

AMAZING!!! I came across this restaurant by fluke on Skip the Dishes, and although I didn't order from it that night, I went to it a few days later and I couldn't have been more thrilled. My partner and I both ordered #63, the mock grilled pork, spring roll, and shredded mock meat vermicelli. It was incredible. Having made the switch to being vegetarian over 8 years ago, I haven't been able to enjoy Vietnamese food since given that it's mostly meat based. However, this place is better than any regular Vietnamese restaurant I've ever been to, even back when I was eating meat...and Vietnamese food used to be a staple food in my diet. We also ordered #3, the mock beef sausage and I couldn't tell it wasn't real meat. It was SOOOO tender and so tasty. Melted in my mouth. The next time I went, I ordered the same dish as the first time and it was just as delicious. My friend ordered #23, the Nam Vang style rice noodle soup and she loved it! Tonight we went again and I tried #23 this time and I couldn't believe how tasty it was. And so filling. The portions are so generous. The lady who served me all three times I've been is so nice and caring, wanting to provide the best customer service experience. I forget her name unfortunately, but she's so gracious. I will absolutely be a regular customer. I can't wait to try the rest of their dishes as I'm sure I'll just continue to be amazed. I'll be back soon. I HIGHLY recommend this place, vegetarian or meat eater, I guarantee you that you won't be...

The worst restaurant experience ever! My family went to celebrate my birthday after the pandemic when sit in is allowed. During the weekday there were only 2 tables with customers. My friends and I have bought takeout here before the pandemic, so I decided to have a family birthday dinner there. I was shocked! The food was bland and mediocre, the restaurant might have changed ownership or cook during the pandemic. The service was the most appalling I have ever had in a sit down restaurant. We had to asked for napkins three times, the tea wasn't refilled. When we cut my birthday cake they didn't even let us borrow a knife saying there is only 1 knife in the kitchen and they didn't want to wash it. Didn't provide forks or plates for our cake but gave us half cut styrofoam take out containers and plastic spoons to eat my birthday cake with it, citing they didn't want to wash the dishes. What's the point of having a sit down restaurant if they didn't want to do anything? Might as well open a fast food joint with no...

I can't say enough about this place. I've recently had some dietary restrictions where I have to cut down on certain meats. I've always struggled finding places that followed those restrictions and still tasted amazing and authentic.

I always crave Vietnamese food, but am usually stuck ordering some basic chicken dish. I was so happy to find this authentic vegetarian Vietnamese place. I couldn't be happier.

First time I came, I walked in as they were cleaning. I had no idea I walked in 10 minutes after close. The owner was so nice to ask what I wanted. And I tried to order something that wouldn't take too long or be too troublesome to make. I ordered the vegan banh mi and boy was I not disappointed. My only regret was not ordering more.

This place is now my wife and I's go to place whenever we are around the area. Definitely check it out because you will not be disappointed. Support this wonderful and hard working family restaurant....
