Absolutely delicious food. Still have all of the old favorites, with some new delicious additions. Personally still enjoy their old vegetarian dishes more, but their new dishes are great as well. I have it in my rotation to have. They clearly mark the gluten free options, and the food are all flavored delicately, good for people who prefer a healthier, lighter twist of Vietnamese food. Their banhmi was delicious, definitely one of the best ive had. Not sure about authenticity but the meat was seasoned and cooked perfectly, and the bread was great. I probably won't order it too often though because I found it to be a bit too expensive for the price - but I'll order it as a treat every once in awhile.
I tried both the Vegan Pizza Special and the Hawaiian and I can't wait to try other flavors. I prefer the regular crust, but had a friend who was allergic to gluten so the chickpea gluten free crust is a great option as well.
The owner is such a lovely man as well who took care in answering all our questions.
This was the best vegan pizza I've ever had!
Sun Bo Kong is hands-down my favorite vegetarian restaurant in Vancouver. I bring all my friends and family here, it’s the kind of place that impresses everyone, whether they’re vegan or not.
The food is consistently delicious, and the menu is packed with variety. Some of my absolute go-to dishes are the pea tips with enoki mushrooms (so fresh and flavorful), the three kinds of mushroom in seaweed soup (deeply comforting), the vegetable deluxe (a colorful medley done perfectly), and the eggplant and tofu hot pot (a warm, savory favorite). Honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of their bean curd dishes either, they know exactly how to make tofu shine.
On top of that, the staff are always warm and welcoming, and the owner is an absolute legend, he can do a two-thumb push-up! You can feel the love and pride in every part of this place.
The portion sizes are generous, and they have tons of vegan options as well as many gluten-free choices, which makes it easy to bring groups with different dietary needs. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Vancouver, Sun Bo Kong is a must-try.
Officially my new favourite Vietnamese restaurant in Vancouver (and I’m not even vegan/vegetarian).
Just visited here for the first time through the “Plant Curious” discount vegan membership.
This restaurant really blew us away! The food and vibe were absolutely amazing. I will be recommending this place to everyone 😛💕👀
A large majority of the menu is entirely gluten-free as well!
My partner and I got:
1. Monsoon rolls
2. Coconut rice cakes
3. Crystal dumplings
4. Hahn Xeo Crepe
Everything was SO DELICIOUS!
Loved this place. Super friendly atmosphere, amazing breakfast options, and the coffee just kept coming. Gluten free and veggie options. Definitely coming back.
The vegetarian folk in our family suggested eating at Po Kong. Before then, I hadn't set foot in this place for eons, after being zapped by extreme MSG years ago. Naturally, I was more than a bit reluctant to repeat the MSG experience. We were there for dinner. There was five of us and we ordered 6 dishes – we each wanted to select our favourite dish: deep fried spring rolls, Bean Curd Skin Roll with Black Beans, Sticky Fried Rice, Braised Tofu, Fresh Vegetables on Deep Fried Noodles, Sweet & Sour Delight. We didn't finish everything, and they were all very enjoyable. I was surprised that I could request no MSG for all the items on our order. Now that I've adopted a vegan diet, we've been going back every other week. I read another Google review complaining about the fried noodles being egg noodles – interesting – because now that I discovered my egg allergy, the fried noodles explained why I had a reaction to a simple tofu and mixed vegetable dish. I am guessing that there could be cross contamination from other tables ordering fried noodles around the same time our tofu dish was made. This restaurant is not gluten-free as they use gluten as meat substitutes. Their solution for gluten-free is not to use soy sauce – as they don't even bother to carry wheat-free soy. They also use the same deep frying oil for everything, which is how cross contamination can happen with egg noodles. A lot of the dishes has some form of gluten 'meat'. For example the D9 tofu hot put contains gluten balls. The Colourful Vegetarian Chop Suey in Bird Nest contains gluten ham. G7 Pan-fried Sticky Rice contains gluren BBQ pork. A good way to enjoy the best of Po Kong is really to treat your friends to a meal. With a table of 5, we can order my favourite Bean Curd Skin Roll in Black Bean Sauce, D9 Tofu Hotpot, and even some sticky rice. We've been noticing that after eating at Po Kong, our stomachs feel good even though we might over ate. We no longer experience the usual I've-just-eaten at-a-Chinese-restaurant discomfort.
Tried out Just Pizza on a weekday evening. Snagged one of four available tables. 14 options (12") plus a monthly special, prices are $18.00 to $23.00. They offer gluten friendly crust ($4.00) and cashew cheese ($1.50).
- Cumin lamb ($23.00) - lamb was tender. Slices were soggy in the middle
- The hottie ($23.00) - much oilier. Tried a slice, didn't leave much of an impression
Don't be deceived, White Spot menu and atmosphere competes very well with top 5 star Michelin restaurants, and at half to one third the price ! This is one of the best deals , great food inclusive of healthy options, gluten free, stuff you see at much pricier restaurants. Service is also very good and one can't make a mistake to come here.
We came here on a Friday night. The place was clean and welcoming.
Foods pricing and portions were on par, plus we noticed the meats in our wraps were very moist and juicy. The sauces were very fresh too.
We ordered gluten free pouting on the side and didn't notice any surpluses oiliness or grease that some other reviewers complained about with the fried food.
Overall, the food was excellent and we would come back. We also recently ate at zam zam grill and Sher Donair's offerings are better in every way.
As someone who has celiac disease I am SO IMPRESSED! We walked in after a hockey game with our jerseys on and were greeting with 2 complimentary dishes. Most of their menu is gluten free and they are extremely attentive to food allergies. The dosas here are the BEST in the city and we come here all the time! Everything was delicious, fresh and amazingly South Indian!
Thank you so much George (the owner) for the best hospitality!!!
I love this place. I go there weekly. The staff are friendly and professional. The food is very healthy too, and the pastries are so delicious. Alas they just have a few gluten-free items.
Really good food. Awesome experience. Manager is outstanding and great customer service understanding. I request him for bread crunches for my tomato soup. But manager told me that we don't do bread crunches due to gluten issues. But manager sweet gesture suprise me when he arranged specially for me gluten free bread. Thanks krsma team. Great work. Keep it up.
