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.

Mrs. Hitter, who has never been big on meat has been coming here for many years. The more carnivorous Mr. Hitter now enjoys it just as much. They serve Chinese style vegan food with a huge menu. We don't recall ever having a bad dish and have tried a good chunk of the menu. The menu is far more interesting then your average take out Chinese place. What impresses us the the fact every dish is absolutely bursting with flavour. Many dishes use "fake" meat but they manage to do it very well, with great flavour and texture. Even the "fake" shrimp can almost cure the shrimp void in Mrs. hitter's life (she's allergic). They also have a lunch menu with specials all under $10. We tried this for the first time the other day and had mushroom, tofu and broccoli on chow mein noodles with a spring roll. We got the vegetable soup to start which was surprisingly very hearty. It is fantastic deal and was very filling. Of course we had to order our favourite a la carte with it just for later, the schezuan sauce covered veg filet.
We have taken both sets of our parents here, some of who are staunchly carnivores and were practically afraid of what vegan food might taste like. They were shocked they enjoyed it so much and there wasn't even leftovers! That says a lot about the quality of this place. Vegan or not - you got to try it!
Last night I tried out this restaurant and left quite satisfied! It's a small, basic space with a GIANT menu fully of yummy vegetarian food. I had never tried veggie chinese food so it was a bit overwhelming to pick, but more reason to return to try out more dishes. We ended up trying the spring rolls, veggie panfried dumplings, tofu with peanut sauce and noodles with satay sauce and veggie beef. I'm not really one to have "fake meat" when I eat vegetarian food but I was shocked at how delicious it was. It really resembles the texture and flavour of meat.
The tofu with peanut sauce was a favourite as were the spring rolls. Actually, so were the dumplings.
The good food was complimented with a very friendly waitress and the owner who came over to check on us several times.
I'm happy to support and return to this restaurant.
This is a great place for vegetarians to enjoy a nice meal at a restaurant. The cuisine is basically vegetarian Chinese food, or very similar. The restaurant was small and clean, and the food service was prompt. The server was able to answer any questions we had. The flavours here are mediocre, nothing amazing. The dishes labelled spicy were not spicy at all in my opinion. Our favorite of the dishes we ordered was the Tofu in Peanut Sauce. When it was time to pay, there were issues with the credit machine, but it finally did work. Note they only accept visa or cash.
Awesome...awesome...awesome food!!!
I've never left hungry or had a bad meal!!!
Large portions and fast service!!!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ' s in my books!
My boyfriend and I are only in Winnipeg for the night, and we decided to stop here for a late dinner. The plate sizes were large enough to share between two people, especially if you add rice or noodles to your meal. Overall the food was incredibly tasty and enjoyable, and the service was exceptional as well! This restaurant is seemingly underrated as had the place to ourselves, but we couldn't be happier that we stopped by this hidden gem. Still so amazed everything on the menu was vegan! Would highly recommend!
A nice restaurant and an overall positive experience. Excellent service, and the owner is very friendly. The only negative point was that a few of the dishes were a little small for the price. However, some of the other items were absolutely massive portions for the price. I would recommend going to this restaurant with someone who has been before and knows the menu, because it is large and can be intimidating. I would recommend the deluxe chow mein. I look forward to returning.
Every single sauce is absolutely delicious. I love the schezwan sauce and tofu filets. They could probably put that sauce on a piece of cardboard and it would be delicious. No, there is no meat. But you won't notice. My husband loved the eight treasures and the gluten balls. He said the deep frying gives the tofu/gluten substitutes the same texture as meat in Chinese food in other places he's eaten. And even though it is deep fried the food doesn't feel too heavy. It's a far drive for me but if I am craving Chinese this is the place. Service is great, restaurant is tidy and quiet. Just remember before you go they take visa and cash only.
I have been to this restaurant umpteen number of times. And the food here has always lived up to its name, DELICIOUS! The service is also great.
We usually have the lunch special which includes a soup (choices are Hot & Sour Soup/Wonton Soup/Consumme Soup/Vegetable Soup), a vegan dish (with option of having Steamed Rice/Fried Rice/Chow Mein) and a spring roll.
...OCCASIONAL LOCAL DINE-OUT ALTERNATIVE: THANKS TO HUMBLE, DIFFERENT SOCIAL 'DINING CIRCLES' AM ABLE TO RE-VISIT DELICIOUS VEGETARIAN, ESPECIALLY WHEN IN 'MEATLESS-MODE' (HINT: SEE POSTED PIC'S). LOCAL LONGER-TERM VENUE THAT'S BEEN WELL-KEPT, REASONABLE $$; BEST WISHES TO STAFF & MGMT MOVING FORWARD!
Huge portions, very tasty food. Don't miss the meat at all!

I missed chinese food, and at the same time I am trying to practice consuming more vegetables than meat. I came across this restaurant through random browsing and I am glad to find out the location is easily accessible via bus, especially for those who stays around UoM area. I went in for the first time and placed my takeaway orders with the man named Terry. He recommended the tofu black beans, and I added the deep fried mushrooms, rice, and hot and sour soup. Terry was extremely friendly and humble, and I felt so welcoming despite the restaurant earlier was empty. I am extremely impressed with how fast they cooked and prepared the food just as I arrived and ordered about 5 minutes ago. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY FRESH AND SMELL INCREDIBLE!!! Terry even asked me to try a mushroom first before I left. I was so glad to try it because it was absolutely flavourful and freshest thing I ate in a while!! I immediately speeded off home via the bus and couldn’t bother to take off my coat and all. I dived right into the meal and bless, it was delicious and healthy!!!!! I would love to come here often with my friends and family, everything was delicious, nice and welcoming!!!

Delicious is a great vegan option.
They say vegetarian but all the dishes are vegan.
Deep Fried mushrooms - 5 🌟 wonderful flavor on them. Texture was a bit thicker and chewier than I would like, but some might enjoy it
"Beef" with ginger and green onions 4 🌟 - when I brought the leftovers to my friend he questioned if it was actual beef. This was my least favorite dish however out of what we tried
Hot and sour soup 4 🌟 - it was very good, but I didn't prefer how sweet it was. If the added sweetness wasn't there I would have done a 5
Tofu with peanut sauce 5 🌟 - I was but expecting to like this as much as I did.
They had a decaf tea that was roasted rice and ginger which was very pleasant. It is a hint of ginger flavoring.
Service was excellent 5 🌟 with the server on top of the leftovers and the bill.
The interior is much slicker looking then what I remember. It is modern and does not resemble your typical Chinese restaurant.
It is located right on pembina, near the Stella's. Parking is available on the street and side streets.

Had lunch specials for 2, which came with 1 selection of soup (wonton soup and veggie soup in the picture), 1 selection of main dish (C2 and C5 with chowmein in the picture) and a spring roll for each. Price, portion, and taste were all great. Happy to have all the tasty Chinese food as vegetarian dishes. Looking forward to try other menus in the future.
This is one of the only all vegan restaurants in Winnipeg and it has been an institution in the city for 30+ years. It is one of very few restaurants committed that doesn't add MSG and allows you to taste the true flavours of the food. Love the hot and sour soup, szechuan eggplant and silken tofu dishes. It's a great restaurant for vegans and meat eaters alike.
Amazing! I have been to this resturant before and it has been consistent with flavour. We order alot and everything came out fresh and hot. I would recommend the deep fried mushrooms, the seaweed and mushroom soup, Hong Kong style noodles, deep fried eel (shitake mushrooms) and deep fried tofu in peanut sauce. The waitresses were super helpful in helping us pick some dishes.
