Delicious is one of my favourite Winnipeg restaurants, even though I am not a vegetarian. The food is all very well-prepared and flavourful, and it's very consistent. I particularly love the tofu in peanut sauce, the eggplant in black bean sauce, and the deep fried mushrooms (mmmmmm). Their soups are also very impressive, as they make very tasty stocks without any meat. The restaurant is nicely decorated with black and white photos of Winnipeg, and the staff (owners?) are very friendly. Strongly recommend!
Went on a Friday. Pretty quite inside and very clean. The sever was friendly and gave us a pitcher of water when we asked (we drink a lot of water when eating 😅)
The menu is all vegetarian. I’m not a fan of fake meats so we ordered more traditional options. A spicy sweet and sour soup, spicy yellow tofu curry, some type of spicy dim sum and steamed rice. Everything was delicious! I was amazed vegetarian food could taste so good. The spicy ness was on point. We didn’t even say what level we wanted. The soup was full of good stuff and not just an appetizer soup. My only complaint is that I wish the portions were larger.
Will definitely go back again!
This is NOT your typical Chinese resturant. If you are looking for your standard chinese food, this is NOT the place to go to. This is a vegan/vegetarian restaurant first, Chinese second.
There are no animal products used in this resturant. The Chicken, pork, beef, fish and seafood are all mock/fake/substitute meats.
That is why there are so many polarizing reviews; either people are expecting meats or are not happy with the substitutes. However, if you know what tempeh and seitan are and like tofu, the offerings here will better than you expect.
I regularly like to eat meats and find this place great. You have to go in expecting things to not be perfect substitutes.
I find typically the beef dishes to be better than the chicken/pork dishes, but I have not had any fish dishes. I had a shrimp dish once and while I found the texture to be alright, the flavour and look of it to not be what I enjoy.
Mock meat preferences is very personal, so if you do not like one type of meat dish, I would suggest trying another.
The deep fried mushrooms is a must order if you go here; even the smaller portiins a sizable is large enough share, while the large is sharable among 4 people.
My other favourite dishes is the vegetarian beef with black bean sauce on chow mein noodles, as well the noodle soup with spicy peanut sauce.
The price is reasonable for the portion sizes, and the restaurant is much cleaner than a lot of my other favorite Chinese restaurants. The only reason this does not get full 5 stars is that they only take Visa or Cash (why not mastercard or debit?) And they do not seem to offer delivery.
