Eclectic, unique menu with clean ingredients! - Edit
What's better than driving to Canada for the day, I'll tell you .. driving to Canada to eat vegan food. Ok ok, what's better than driving to Canada to eat vegan food, I'll tell you .. driving to Canada to eat vegan food while meeting new vegan friends! 🙌
Read moreWe decided to meet up at Mila Plant-Based, 100% vegan restaurant in the downtown area sort of right in-between Downtown Eastside, Science World, and Gastown. The restaurant has a lovely, quaint ambiance, feels very welcoming upon entering. The bathroom was .. well, posh! I don't normally make a point to comment on bathroom decor, while average in size, I felt like I was being upgraded to First Class lol. Ok, moving right along .. lol
They have two menus, a Weekend Brunch Menu and, for all other hours, a Lunch/Dinner Menu, ..we ordered from the Weekend Brunch Menu. I had the Bibimbap Bowl - rice bowl with Yo Egg, mushroom bacon, kimchi, tempura yam, cucumber, carrot, gochujang sauce. This bowl had many layers of unique flavors all married perfectly in every exquisite bite, I say this very sincerely! My wife ordered the Pina Colada Pancakes - pancakes, toasted coconut syrup, cashews, cocktail cherries, rum-candied pineapple, mint. Each bite easily lived up to the the decadence displayed in the included image.
We absolutely have to find our way back to Mila to try their Lunch/Dinner menu as it includes some amazing sounding options such as, Feta Stuffed Date - date, feta, pistachio, olive oil, maldon salt, ABURI LOX OSHI - carrot lox, aburi sauce, shiso, serrano, 6 pieces, Tuna Crispy Rice - watermelon akami tuna, sushi rice, lime kewpie mayo, green onion, sesame seeds, 3 pieces, and much more.
Our servers were super friendly and very attentive. We're planning a trip in the coming "days" and our server happened to be from the same area that we're ultimately heading at that time and was able to provide us with some tips and IG influencers to follow, very cool!
We had quite a few options to choose from regarding where to meet for brunch, with every option sounding wonderful in their own way. Ultimately, we decided on Mila because of their unique, fresh and inspiring sounding dishes and yeah, they did not disappoint.
Thanks so much for dropping by and reading this review. Do yourself a favor and extend the same courtesy to Mila by ... dropping by .. and enjoying some amazing tasty food. 🙌
Pros: eclectic menu, food has amazing flavor, food has clean ingredients

Fun little place! - Edit
I was really excited to try this place out. The menu looked spectacular and it delivered.
Read moreArrived late afternoon in time for happy hour during a weekday. The place was not busy and service was quick. Ordered the Akami Tuna Tostada, Yakitori Chicken, Aburi Lox Oshi, and Tuna Crispy Rice along with some zero proof drinks.
Overall presentation was delightful. Small plates that deliver on taste that actually fill you up. My favorite was the Aburi Lox Oshi; it was quite rich and decadent.
Nice vibe to the place with some booth seating, tables/chairs, and high table/chairs with lots of light.

Nice, friendly, but the directions given by Happy Cow are incorrect! - Edit
Interesting appetizer plates. One was way too salty for me. Nice upscale atmosphere. Be sure to go to Keefer STREET, and not Keefer PLACE, which the Happy Cow directions incorrectly sent us to.

Plant-based fusion delight - Edit
We had katsu bao & okomomiyaki roll with interesting ingredients & creative fusion concept. Both tasted amazing! 🤩 Having said that, please be prepared to pay high prices for a tiny portion of food. This reminds me of Japan, where you feel you seem to always wish to have more food to satisfy your hunger!

Delicious, friendly, and upscale - Edit
We visited during Happy Hour and were blown away by the service and flavours. We had the Katsu Bao, Aburi Lox Oshi (my favourite — just so good), Crab Onigiri, Tuna Crispy Rice (my partner’s favourite), and Yakitori Chicken. It’s a bit on the pricier end but you will not be disappointed. Not only was the food outstanding, the service was incredible. We were given a free drink and our server was charming, noting down other vegan restaurants in Vancouver we should check out during our stay.
Read morePros: Friendly, knowledgable service, Aburi Lox Oshi, a must try dish

Just fine - Edit
We got dan dan noodles, baos, and the peanut butter chocolate cake. Baos were excellent but the other two items were just OK. Looking forward to trying something new next time maybe I didn’t order the right things.

Super good vegan fusion food - Edit
Cosy place with very friendly staff. 100% vegan. The menu is small but innovative, with inspiration from a number of different directions, with a focus on Asian kitchens. A little pricey, but once you taste the food, you won’t have any regrets.

Exceptional flavors! - Edit
Everything tasted amazing, service was fast and the portion sizes were spot on.
Read moreWe got the Mila Roll and Tuna Nigiri, both sushi rolls were amazing. The Dan Dan Noddles was just perfect, thick flavorful sauce, and yet dry enough to make it easy to eat. Gai Lan went perfectly in this. The crepe was again exceptionally good, cake-like almost, paired off perfectly with the coconut cream

THE best vegan restaurant in Vancouver, hands down - Edit
If you haven't been to MILA yet, drop everything and go! They take vegan dining to a whole new level with an incredible menu made with love and an incredible understanding of how different flavours pair together. Along with their ever evolving menu, it's a place you'll be happy to return to many times. I think I'm on my sixth visit already!

Best spot in Vancouver - Edit
Spent a few days in Vancouver and MILA was our favorite! The space was cute and inviting and the food was spectacular. We split the MILA roll as an appetizer, then had an order of the kebab pita and the mushroom and sausage tagliatelle. They were both superb! We topped things off with a slice of the peanut butter cup pie and eton mess. Great service and overall wonderful experience.
