Tinh Tam Trai Asian Vegetarian Healthy Meal

Great spot for some vegan/vegetarian pho or bun Bo hue. I’m a big meat lover but honestly loved the broth and imitation meats/tofu and couldn’t tell a huge difference. Also definitely recommend getting their imitation tuna banh mi sandwich.Service was slightly slow to come check on our table, but besides that staff was very polite and got our food out in a timely manner.

Vegetarian Vietnamese food with imitation meats for every type of meat available out there. While the food itself was yum, having most of the ingredients (such as the imitation meats) available for purchase is very useful.
The menu is extensive (though some items were unavailable). Soups are large, so be prepared to share if not take away.
Good stuff!

Various options for vegetarian meals. Customer service was good, however took long time waiting for the foods arrived.

“Bun rieu chay” was great but the portion is kind of small with the high price, the noodle and vegies, meats were not much, because of the big bowl and a lot of soup made it look like huge.

“Tien Vua salad” was ok, nothing special.

I liked the “Hu tieu xao thap cam”, which I would be coming back for this again.

Loved this little no-nonsense spot in Vaughan! A great place to go after a day at Wonderland.

The food was so delicious and the menu is so large, you could go back dozens of times and try a new dish each time! I recommend the S1 (beef noodle soup) and the A01 (crispy fried chicken with sticky rice). The A01 was incredibly unique and so delicious! The portions of everything are genuinely huge as well.

The only thing is that the S1 came with a much thicker noodle, despite the menu stating vermicelli. I mention this for those who have their hearts set on vermicelli, but I personally didn’t mind at all.

All in all, will definitely be returning!

One of the best Vietnamese vegan / vegetarian restaurants. Always drop by here.

Lots of Banh Mi selection.
Lots of Noodle Soup selection.

Trascendental.

After a long day at Wonderland, I stumbled upon this hidden gem in Vaughan.

Where do I start? I like vegetarian restaurants but couldn’t fathom how pho could be recreated with no meat. But to say I’ve changed my mind is an understatement to how delicious everything was.

Starting with the Bahn Mi, they were fresh, crunchy and tasted better than their meat counter parts.

The pho was just on another level. The broth was an experience in itself, but the textures (including bamboo, carrot and tofu) added to replace the beef actually made it so much better. I think this pho has become my new favourite.

On top of all this, the service was outstanding. the restaurant was clean and vibrant and we felt right at home.

10/10 *chef kiss emoji*

Hope to come back soon.

💯% vegetarians go to place. We loved it and will be back again. If you are vegan or vegetarian, feel confident to order anything. Small and cozy place. ✨️ I loved it.

There are apparently days when some who follow Buddhist faith restrict to vegetarian meals. And lucky for our guest, Tinh Tam Trai happened to be a vegetarian restaurant serving Asian noodle soups conveniently located right by Vaughan Mills. There's not many such places around which probably helps to explain their positive reviews. Best way I can characterize this place is QUIRKY!

Located in a busy plaza, it's hard to miss their bright yellow signage. Upon entering, the first thing that I noticed was the decor, or the surprising lack thereof... still the place was quite packed at lunchtime. Staff was slow to offer us the highchair so we helped ourselves to it. Their affordable menu included a variety of dishes and drinks similar to other Vietnamese restaurants but with a vegetarian twist.

The house-special Imitation Duck Egg Noodle Soup was topped with a heaping portion of soy-based mock meat w/ mushroom filling. Smooth herbal taste and soft egg noodles. Similarly Imitation Wonton Egg Noodle Soup hit the mark except the gluten fishcakes & side of fried soy wonton balls were a bit much to finish. Bun Hue Chay, their version of the hot & spicy Hue-style noodle soup, was well-seasoned too. We also tried sticky rice filled with mung beans which tasted like salty mochi balls. Fine for vegetarian, but if you're a carnivore, it's quite a glutton for punishment. How we missed savoury meat after just one meal!

Back to the quirkiness: a bit strange that the owner initially claimed there was no sticky rice on the menu when serving our noodles. He later prepared it after reviewing our order, by which time we were nearly full. More weird was at checkout I paid with a $100 bill, and was given change including the same bill which I informed the inattentive cashier.
