Chau Veggie Express

A friend brought me to Chau Veggie Express for my first taste of this 100% vegan restaurant on Granville Island. It's well worth the trek there!I was recommended the Golden Temple Soup and it was delicious. The broth is delightfully creamy and comforting, yet light and so flavorful with veggies that were done just right. It had a few too many tofu chunks for my personal preference, but so good overall. Very filling and feels fresh with a spectrum of colorful veggies.Also tried the spring rolls which were delightful tasty, and not thickly rolled or hard at all. The taro chips were also quite good; crispy, great flavor and came with a great dipping sauce.Next time, I look forward to exploring the menu for a new dish and trying one of their lattes!

Got a midnight bowl for lunch today. Absolutely disgusting and stale food. And so pricey at 16$ before tax. The bowl consisted of a pile of massive raw chunks of broccoli, hard little pellets of rice drenched in a sickeningly sweet peanut sauce, and rubbery bean curd sheets that smelled stale and smelled like they were just taken out of the fridge (you know that smell food takes on when it’s been sitting in a freezer or fridge for ages). Absolutely waste of money and genuinely disgusting tasting food. Don’t be fooled by reviews, stay away from this place. Service was so poor too. The young Korean looking lady serving made zero attempt to be pleasant or nice. Zero manners or any real social skills by Chau’s staff.

Overall I wasn't too impressed. I normally like the one on Victoria but this was one of the fewer vegan/ vegetarian places on Granville Island. I mean it wasn't bad, but I just wasn't too impressed with my noodle soup. It did have a lot of vegetables which is great! But it also seems like something I can make at home by myself very easily. The noodles were clumpy as well.

Ate the rickety rickshaw salad. It comes with 3 small very oily pieces of spring role. Overall, it lack flavour. We went back to request an extra fish sauce to try to augment the flavour and express our disappointment with the dish. They insisted on charging us an extra $1 for the fish sauce.

Shared the rice fields bowl! Amazing and enough to share. The counter lady was very helpfu. The Vietnamese coffee was perfect with coconut milk
