A treat! - Edit
So many wonderful looking options on the menu, it was hard to narrow it down.
Read moreIt's easy to tell what isn't vegan and that still leaves tons of dishes.
Service is great and the food is lovely. I think the cooking style is More Cantonese than Sichuan.
Already looking forward to a return visit.
Pros: Pages of vegan option, Service is outstanding, Good food and plenty of it

Super tasty and great service - Edit
My veggie husband finally got to have dim sum. Top tip, if you are going at a weekend for lunch, book. This is a very popular restaurant. The dim sum are excellent, fave for us was the eggplant, but you won’t be disappointed whatever you order. The staff are fabulous and the service attentive even when they are slammed. The staff are also very helpful with allergies and will recommend options to ensure that everyone gets something tasty. A must for any veggie to put on their restaurant list.

Love love LOVE - Edit
I’ve gone here a few times over the last couple years and have never been disappointed The sweet and sour tofu is a MUST. So many options and everything is always delicious. I love that it shows you what *isn’t* vegan, rather than what is vegan on the in-person menu. Portions are great. 10/10

Super friendly & super tasty - Edit
Huge menu and lots of choice.
Read moreJust ask if there’s egg or diary in the dish before because there’s no label but the servers are very friendly and attentive.
Food came out super fast 💨
We got the vegetables dumplings, colourful vegetable chop suey, tofu chili hot pot, and bo kong fried rice.
Everything was great! FYI hot pot is not like Korean hot pot so don’t expect soup unless it’s explicitly written.
Would go back to try more options ☺️ #Veganuary

Never disappoints - Edit
Sun Bo Kong is one of our favorites to visit as a family - vegans and non-vegans. Their menu is huge and includes both dim sum and regular take-out size dishes. Our go-to dishes include, mushroom calamari, bean curd skin in black bean sauce, bbq pork buns, and sticky fried rice.
Read morePros: Huge vegan menu, Friendly service

We preferred the non-dim sum dishes more - Edit
Delighted to find this vegan authentic Chinese restaurant serving dim sum from 11am-2pm. Came for dim sum and found most of the other diners speaking Cantonese as well as way staff speaking Cantonese and mandarin as well as English (a good sign). Would recommend getting the soy sauce chow mein noodles, the lotus leaf wrapped sticky rice, fried taro puffs, steamed fun rolls. We also saw some taro cake and turnip cake that looked amazing. Friendly staff and authentic Cantonese dining experience. Would like to come back and try non-dim sum dishes as we did not like the shrimp dumpling, siumai, or soup dumplings (xiao long bao).
Read morePros: Soy sauce noodles, Cantonese speaking staff (pro for me) , Taro puffs
Cons: 3 most popular dim sum dishes were just ok

Solid veggie dim sum - Edit
It was definitely nice to find a veggie dim sum place. The dishes were a little on the bland side though but still good. My favorites were the turnip cake and bean curd rolls.
Read moreJust a warning though, the waitresses don't really speak much English, we had to get by with a mix of Cantonese and Mandarin.

Such good vegan Chinese options! - Edit
I find vegan Chinese food one of the hardest things to find & this did not disappoint! It was so good!! Everything pictured is vegan. We ended up massively over-ordering (table of😄and we all took a full plate of leftovers. It was still less than $40 pp. Great value & great food!

Just astoundingly good - Edit
My family came in at 7:30 for dinner and the place was bustling, mostly with Chinese clientele. The waitstaff were very friendly and well informed and we found just what we wanted for my soy-intolerant husband and gluten-free me. The mushrooms in the mixed vegetables were diverse and flavorful. The congee was soothing and the “seafood,” gluten meats, and tofu varieties were all cooked to perfection. The staff were charmed by my son’s skill with chopsticks and they gave us extra vegan cookies with our cheque!

Easily a favourite Veg Chinese Spot - Edit
It’s a great feeling knowing you can sit down and choose from a menu of Chinese food that’s almost entirely vegan! May it be from
Read moredim sums, chowmeins to deep fried dishes etc..they got it! My go to dish here is definitely the salt and pepper deep fried oyster mushrooms and the sweet and sour pineapple delight!
Pros: Very friendly servers, Many variety of dishes, Salt and Pepper Oyster Mushroom

Vegan Dim Sum - Edit
We stopped for an early lunch and the waitress was so helpful. The menu is huge so she made some suggestions and confirmed that our choices were vegan. We originally intended to have dim sum but she recommended we also try the deep fried oyster mushrooms which she said was their best seller. The food was delicious. I think my favourite was the stuffed eggplant. We will definitely stop again the next time we are in Vancouver.

Authentic Chinese - Edit
Wow! What a selection. You can ask for all food to be vegan. Loved the steamed vegetable dumplings and hot and sour soup. All tofu dishes were spiced nicely and more on the hot side. Very welcoming staff and very clean place. Jasmine tea as much as you can drink.

Delicious & Extensive Veg Chinese Menu - Edit
We way over ordered for two people because we got so excited at the menu. So many options, it was hard to choose, but everything we got was delicious and we took home the extras. We had C6 Spicy Green Beans, G27 pan Fried shredded vegetables with broad rice noodle, E13 vegetarian cutlet with Peking sauce, C48 braised soft tofu with chili sauce, a pumpkin hot pot recommended by our server, and F13 small Steamed Rice x2. We would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. Our server was also super friendly and helpful.

One of my favourite restaurants in the world - Edit
The food is incredible, the selection enormous, and lovely vibe (cute animal videos often playing on the TV screen!). My favourite dish is the vegetable on bean curd skin, but there are so many highlights.

Did not dissapoint - Edit
Our very discerning "Indian Rock vegan" friends hyped this place up, and it did not let me down.
Read moreThey had knowledge of the menu which was a relief, as the menu was EXTENSIVE - we had the spicy green beans, bean curd skins in black bean sauce, fried turnip cakes, fried oyster mushrooms, chefs fried rice, BBQ steamed buns, and dessert.
It was all excellent.
The server was also very attentive and efficient.

Consistently good. - Edit
I've been here dozens of times. Usually great. Huge menu, with smaller menu with visuals of their "greatest hits." Best to go with larger group in order to have several dishes. Dim sum served earlier in the day.
