So unbelievably bland - Edit
I am baffled by all the stellar reviews this restaurant received. My co-worker and I ordered two different dishes (I had the rickety rickshaw bowl, I can’t remember what my co-worker had) and agreed it was a total let down.
Read moreI’m not sure if I just went on an off day when the employees forgot to add a single seasoning to any of the food, but it had no flavor whatsoever. It was so bad I don’t think I would go back to try it again even if the meal was free. This restaurant is the reason non-vegans are afraid to eat anything vegan- they should be ashamed to perpetuate that stereotype.
The only redeeming element was the drinks. Shockingly, my coconut shake was delicious, as was my co-worker’s juice.

I dream of their soup 🤤💭 - Edit
As of right now I only tried the golden temple soup. And I can't forget it. It's that good.

Uber Eats Fail - Edit
I ordered this on Uber Eats and was not impressed. I got "buy one get one free, coconut shakes," but they charged me for 2. The food was also cold and the spring rolls were soggy when I got my delivery.
Read moreEverything tasted good, so I would try again in person, but I won't order anymore from Uber Eats.
Cons: Uber Eats was slow and food was cold

So glad this is in the Market! - Edit
Tons of amazing options. We got the fresh tempeh roll, filled with mint and rice noodles and perfectly flavored tempeh. This came with a coconut lemon sauce, which went perfectly with this. The Taro chips also paired perfectly with the tofu dip. Eating this in the covered rooftop patio in the market, with amazing views was a great way to spend a nice summer day

So Disappointed - Edit
I was SO excited to finally try this place and it was a huge let down. After staring at the menu for 10 min I finally ordered the spicy lemongrass soup. It looked beautiful, but had absolutely zero flavor. Like none at all. Wasn't spicy, wasn't lemongrassy. Was barely even a veg broth flavor. Tofu was bland and giggly. I didn't even eat it. I went back into the market and got a falafel. Definitely disappointing (wasted $20!).

Generous portions - Edit
Really big generous portions, but a bit pricy. I had the Golden Temple Soup as I normally love tofu, but this was a bit bland. Taro chips and summer rolls were great though!

Power salad is heaven! - Edit
Aside from gorgeous fresh fruit and veg, there are limited vegan options at the market. But no matter. Just order the most fantastic salad two days in a row. Sapa Power Salad eaten on the beautiful outdoor deck. Heaven!

Awesome vegan food - Edit
Golden temple soup was great. Also ordered their bottled drinks, and they are good as well. I felt great to be able to eat at a vegan cafe at a tourist place.

A lovely find - Edit
I was wandering round the public market at Granville Island as part of a tour, not thinking I’d find anything to eat! Then I spotted those immortal words “Everything is plant based”! I had “Midnight Swim Bowl” - rice blend, spicy peanut garlic soy mushroom sauce, organic mushrooms, beancurd, seasonal veggies, kale, lettuce, mung beans, crispy shallots, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, roasted peanuts. It was fresh, delicious and a huge portion!

Great vegan option at popular destination - Edit
It's really nice to have a dedicated plant based place in the popular Granville Island Public Market. Yummy salads with rich dressings thankfully provided on the side. Vietnamese ice coffee (like a coconut cream Kahlua) and other bottled specialty beverages.

The tempeh roll I had was freshly made and the coconut sauce was also very good. The lemongrass inside the roll made it even more fresh. Friendly staff and quick order.

Underwhelming - Edit
The food from Chau’s came out quickly, the staff was friendly, and there were many options. However, the food was a bit underwhelming, and I have had much better vegan Vietnamese food. The pho was disappointing, as the broth tasted like regular veggie broth. The golden temple soup was significantly better, but it felt like something was missing. For the Granville market, it is a solid option, but I would not go out of my way to eat here.
