Chau Veggie Express - Vancouver

Chau Veggie Express is a vegan Vietnamese restaurant, which is quite popular with both vegan/non-vegan people. Avocado and I have been talking about visiting Chau Veggie Express for at least 2 years now.. and we finally went this month! Woo!. Chau Veggie Express is located on Victoria Drive, which you wouldn’t expect because it’s not really a hipster-fied area (yet). I ain’t complaining though, because parking is free and easy to find in this area.

Fast, healthy, and fresh. The golden temple soup is amazing and especially enjoyable with rice noodles. Loads of flavourful ingredients such as organic tofu, kale, broccoli, sweet potato, and taro. Generous portions and soup was a light, coconut broth with turmeric. The rice rolls are also wonderfully crunchy with flavours and textures that mix up well. I only wished I had room for dessert. Lovely decor and large tables with self-serve and counter service.<br/ <br/ What a hidden gem! Must visit again soon.

Great place, this is one of my favorite vegan joints in Vancouver. I'm in love with the golden temple and coconut shake my top two favorite dishes. Service is good, it can get busy during prime hours.

Staff is always friendly. Food comes in a timely manner and is consistently delicious! It gets busy but they run through the line fairly quickly.

I have to admit that I’m not a veggie lover, and most of the time, I think I’m “allergic” to vegetables! But I really like our second food crawl stop – CHAU Veggie Express. It is one of the most popular restaurants on Victoria Drive, which serves traditional Vietnamese vegetarian cuisine. Most of the dishes here are also gluten-free. They also have a location in Granville Island, but I personally think the new location is way more accessible.
