Best vegan Asian food - Edit
Except for one soup everything is vegan at this restaurant. On the menu they call their plates ‘chicken’, ‘lamb’ or ‘shrimp’, but it is all vegan replacements. I love the Sate and ‘lamb’ in peppersauce. They deliver as well …

Amazing wide variety of options - Edit
This is my go-to take out restaurant. All my non veg friends love it. The service is fast (I call them to order and usually I can come to pick it up in like 20 minutes) and the portions are huge. Between the two of us we usually share a main course noodles/rice and a starter and it’s plenty.
Read moreThere are so many different options!! My favourites are the Malaysian curry with paratha, the duck crêpes and the soy ribs. Some may say it’s a bit oily but I still love it.
Pros: Cheap, Huge portions , Super tasty

Great experience from food to service to ambiance - Edit
We ordered a variety of dishes for 5 persons - appetizers, mains etc. everything was good, well made, tasty, fresh. Above all, the after effect of the food was also very peaceful and good. This is a rare achievement. Service was friendly and efficient, nice ambiance, location. Highly recommend.

Big menu, big taste! - Edit
This place is called vegetarian but all except 3 dishes (1 main + 2 ice cream) are vegan.
Read moreThe menu is huge with many different kind of dishes, there's many meat and fish substitutes but also vegetable dishes. Choosing is difficult because everything seems so yummy! We've tried the Malaysian Chicken satay with peanut sauce and the soyaribs in Beijing sauce and they were amazing! I personally didn't like the Indonesian pangsit (no filling, just fried dough). The restaurant is a bit dark, nor really cozy, but the staff is very nice and welcoming.
I'll go back for sure!
Pros: All except 3 dishes are vegan, Huge menu with interesting choices, Fair praice
Cons: A bit dark

Why didn't I come here before - Edit
I have no idea why I didn't try this place befote. It is lovely and very affordable. The dishes don't come with rice, which is something I actually find a plus! This way you don't have heaps of rice with a little food but instead you get full dishes. All but 3 options are vegan. The waiting staff is young but so friendly. I will definitely come again.

Leaf is by far my favourite restaurant in Rotterdam! My mum has visited me here in the city 4 times and we went there every single time even though she is not a vegetarian.

One of my favorites - Edit
Although this restaurant is not located in my city, I never mind traveling the distance to be able to eat at their place. I've always been a Chinese dim sum lover, but since I went vegan many options fell away, until I found this place. I finally can have my favorite prawn toast again! Other menu options that I can't get enough of are the Vietnamese pancake with prawns and woked veggies, Indonesian pangsit, shiitake with tofu, mock products, and veggies, and the sweet sesame balls (fried sticky rice filled with sweet paste). I RECOMMEND!

Aan alle kanten top! - Edit
Kaart is voor 98% vegan. Heel veel keuze waarbij heel goed aan is gegeven wanneer iets niet vegan is (wat dus maar bij een enkel gerecht voorkomt). Super lekkere, verse, met zorg klaargemaakte gerechten. Personeel is erg vriendelijk en je zit er relaxt en gezellig. Doggybags geen probleem en ik kan beamen dat het eten de volgende dag nog steeds erg lekker is. :)

Great! - Edit
Great restaurant with a wide variety of dishes!
Read moreThe first time we've eaten there the restaurant was half full and the service slow, but the food was great and will definetely return.
The second time we've eaten there the service was just as slow; they'd have to work on that! Waited almost 2 hours for our food to be ready, both times. Hence the reason I gave 3 stars only.

superb vegan restaurant! - Edit
This Asian style restaurant as a lot of vegan options, nearly all are.
Read moreI come here almost every week or I order online and I must say it’s one of my favorite vegan restaurants in town. The veggies are really fresh and they have things like vegan shrimp, etc. The staff is very friendly as well.
The delivery is also really well packed and tasty.
Definitely give this restaurant a go if you’re in the area
Pros: fresh veggies , friendly staff , great location (near Oostplein, metro)
Cons: don’t serve rice included with the dish

Delicious and great variety - Edit
This is from a visit in June.
Read moreHard to choose from the menu. So many options! Nearly all vegan.
Lots of faux meat, so seeing those 'animal' names on the menu does feel strange.
Some more dessert options would be nice (now felt like many variations of the same).
Very friendly and good service.
Nice decor, although the dead plants inside were a sad sight.

Beautiful calming restaurant - Edit
I came here to eat alone and it was just what I needed. A very quiet and calm energy. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant and felt really at peace with just being. Mostly vegan and the food was, although somewhat oily, really delicious. I don't normally go for substitute meats but this was really something - questioned my-self whether it was really not meat. I had a chrysanthemum tea, which was new to me. I would definitely go back and if while I'm still here find the opportunity probably will.
