Almost perfect, depends on the dish. - Edit
This place is great. Undoubtedly one of the best vegan restaurants I’ve been to. The service was great and the Gan lau mee with char Sui and Wonton was amazing.
Read moreHowever, the Laksa and Tofu satay weren’t brilliant. The satay sauce was great but the tofu itself wasn’t particularly well cooked. I would prefer something a bit crispier. The laksa was a mix of fake meat, noodles and crispy gyoza (I think), but there was a distinct lack of vegetables, and the noodles were quite tasteless.
Don’t get me wrong, this place is still amazing, but I really think it depends on the dish you order. I think details of the food on the menu would help with picking the right choice.

We will return! - Edit
Very tasty food. Attentive service (from the owner, I assume). It’s a tiny little restaurant, a short walk from the busiest parts of the city. Fully recommend!

pretty good - Edit
good flavours, generous portion sizes... the description of the dishes was not selling it to me but the reality of them was very good with more variety than it seems by reading the menu
Read morethey kept the tap water topped up without us asking which is nice
small nit picking, a bit of a tendency towards carb heavy dishes and the desserts options were only warm, which I don't like at all
I still left the restaurant satisfied, and happy, great evening
Pros: portion size, flavours, good service
Cons: the text description of the dishes, carb heavy, only warm desserts

Belle découverte - Edit
Très belle découverte, accueil charmant, très souriant, service rapide 😁 La cuisine malaisienne est très parfumée et très savoureuse. Nous avons adoré les chips sel et poivre, ils étaient imbibés d’une sauce vinaigrée sucrée étonnante et vraiment très bonne. 😋 Nous validons la spécialité de la maison, le deep fried tofu. Le Green curry tofu était aussi très bon, mais un peu trop épicé 🥵 On y retournera, c’était vraiment très bon.

Amazing! So many good options! - Edit
The menu looks simple but I soon found myself in a crisis: I wanted almost everything on it! The food tastes as it sounds and all the reviews say. Friendly efficient service. Don't hesitate, just come here.
Read moreLaksa: I think a house specialty, delicious with rich yellow curry, mixed fake meat and tofu, veggies, and noodles. Incredible. Monk's vegetables: great mixed veggies, ginger, and tofu. Simpler taste. Tom Yam soup: excellent! Fried mushrooms: delicious, definitely fried so not a light dish.
Hoping I can make it back a 3rd and 4th time in order try all the dishes on my wanted list.

Wow. What amazing food. Everything was so tasty. I can’t wait to come back here next time I visit Edinburgh. I had the laksa noodles which were so tasty. Very small busy restaurant, definitely recommend booking a table. Lovely attentive staff also.

Amazing food - Edit
It is a must try in Edinburgh. The hype makes sense.
Read moreNor a single dish was bad
We ordered the gyoza, filling with mushrooms and soya - flawless
Fan Lau Mee - a noodles come with delicious seitan pieces, on a kind of sweet and sour sauce.
Souls Special deep fried tofu- I’ve never tasted a tofu like that. Comes with broccoli and rice
Sweet corn soup - very good, I would add a bit more salt.

My new favourite Edinburgh restaurant 🥹 - Edit
The food was INSANELY good!!! I was honestly blown away and will definitely come back over and over again. Located dangerously close to where I spend a lot of my time so I guess I’ll become a regular. Staff was great too atmosphere is lovely! Only point of improvement for me personally I would say is that I didn’t know all of the dishes by name and there’s no description of what’s in them on the menu. A short description and/or a photo would be great so I know what I am ordering😄(maybe everything just tastes so good though that it doesn’t matter what you order)
Read morePros: DELICIOUS, Friendly staff, Lovely atmosphere
Cons: Menu was lacking clarity / lack of descriptions

Fantastic - Edit
Really great restaurant with delicious menu. The best thing about this place was the service I don’t think as a solo diner with no reservation on a busy evening I have ever felt so welcome and attended to. Great recommendation from the waiters for the laksa which was delicious particularly the seitan which tasted like crispy beef without it being crispy beef. Just wonderful. I will need rolling home.

10/10 Noodles 😍 - Edit
Had the gan lau mee noodles with salt and chilli chips. Everything was delicious, tasted so fresh and healthy. Only tiny downside is the price, it felt a little too expensive, but the food was excellent and I will be back.

Sublime - Edit
Maybe the best sit-down meal I've ever had - incredible flavours and good value for money. Best replication of Asian meat dishes I've experienced and would easily recommend as one of the best vegan restaurants going!
Read morePros: Amazing fresh ingredients, Good range of options, Decent value for money
Cons: Slightly out of the city centre, Small-size interior (not necessarily a con), You'll want to try everything!

Incredible laksa - Edit
We had the laksa which was out of this world. Cannot wait to try everything on the menu including the desserts. The laksa was already so filling we sadly didn't have room for dessert. Staff was very friendly and helpful and the food arrived very fast. The fresh flower tea was also very good and complemented the food well. Nice atmosphere.
