Chau Veggie Express - Vancouver, British Columbia

Love the taste, the speed of service and the price.. (all vegan food) The coconut shake is one of those you want to finish right away and buy another one… The food is very good and tasty !!

Had the signature coconut shake at this place on a friend's recommendation. They bottle up a few coconut shakes to sell at around $7 each, very tasty and unique . Would recommend this place for their coconut shakes if you're into this flavor.

Accidentally stumbled upon Chau Veggie Express, and so happy I did. With my husband being gluten free and vegan, it can sometimes be a challenge when travelling to find the right food to suit us both. We ordered different meals but both were delicious and flavourful. Service was quick, and ... the bustling atmosphere of the market place made it a fun place to eat lunch! Lots of meal options inside the market place and lovely artisanal shops dotted around the area. Read more

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! Read more

This was so good! I had the #8 Rice Fields Bowl and a Coconut Shake. Pictures and menu description do not do justice to how flavourful the bowl was. Besides the delicious sauce and noodles, I really liked what a wide variety of fresh vegetables the bowl contained. I'm not ... sure if the included cup of broth was meant to be added to the bowl or drank on its own, but I thought it was nice to sip on as a warm side. It was very fragrant. The coconut shake was also very tasty even though my personal preference would have been for it to be a little less sweet. It's still not as sweet as a lot of commercially available drinks, I just like things with minimal sugar. The shake is made with natural, minimally processed ingredients and it shows in the fresh coconut taste. It was cool that it contained big chunks of coconut meat even though some of them were hard to drink directly from the bottle - I had to use my chopsticks on some of them, but I was able to get everything out. The price is quite good for the value. The portions for the bowls are big (I finished the whole thing without feeling like I was stuffing myself, but was totally satisfied after), and the food is really fresh and high quality. I paid less for the bowl than I've paid for many smaller and less impressive meals at sit-down restaurants. The staff here were very pleasant as well. I notice a lot of vendors in the market will try to get me to order when I'm just browsing, even from a distance, but these people gave me space until I actually walked up to the register and made eye contact which I really appreciated.
