Golden Lotus Vegan Newtown

Unclaimed

My absolute favourite place to go to, every year on my birthday and every other opportunity in between. The absolute best food (vegan or otherwise) that you can get at this price point. Thank you for being reliable and wonderful.

I came on a Friday night to get takeout that I used to get many years ago in Sydney- vegan duck in plum sauce. The menu you didn’t have any pictures in the three dishes that had duck on the menu were a bit hard to distinguish. I settled on a duck with plum sauce. Although I ordered it take away I opened it almost as soon as I got it to try it given the wait time for the takeaway to get ready was not insignificant. And having tried the duck guy was unfortunately pretty disappointed. It didn’t have a lot of flavour. It was too crispy outside and too soggy in the middle versus something that would actually be chewy like a roasted duck. In the plum sauce was too sweet and it feels like it was too much of it. The staff were nice atmosphere was okay but a lot of people coming and going all the time but ultimately for me it’s about the quality of food and the taste so I don’t think I’ll come back.

Very tasty vegan food. Good portions. Nicely presented. Polite staff. Very near the station

Delicious vegan Asian style dishes. The laksa was wonderful with plenty of vegetables. I’m not a big fan of fake meats so I opted for more tofu instead. Good service and open late night which is helpful.
