Wu Tai Vegetarian Restaurant

Food was good. A lot of the dim sum looks exactly like the meat counter part. Place was clean, service was good and it wasn’t expensive at all. Good variety in their menu too.

Tons of great vegetarian dim sum options here but most noteworthy is the congee. The meat congee here is the best vegetarian congee in the GTA.

Visited Wutai with the wife as she is vegetarian and she wanted to explore the vegetarian Chinese food (not Hakka). The décor was very good and it was very spacious but still busy. We went around 5 – 6 PM on Sunday evening. Plenty of parking at the back.
Hot and Sour Wood Fungus and Tofu soup — Good.
Thai Style Flavoured Mushroom hotpot — Good
Osmanthus Flower Cake — Very different than anything we had tried and very pretty good.
Noodles with shredded cucumber — Good
This is a nice place if you’re looking for a nice dining experience and you’re willing to give vegetarian food a chance.

We seemed to be the only Americans there but the staff was friendly and helpful. There were many unique food choices and the food was good. They gave us free tea and dessert! The portions looked small so we got 4 items to share, so much food! Two would’ve been plenty

Came to this place a few times after purchasing a couple of Groupons for $ 30 worth of food for $ 17. This place doesn’t look like much from the outside but when you step in, the restaurant is surprisingly quite clean and fairly elegant.
Thanks to the reviews of fellow Unilocalers, we ordered some pretty tasty food items including mushroom tarts which were served in cute little wooden boxes. We also ordered the braised eggplant e-​fu noodles. This was by far my favourite dish, as the noodles were slightly chewy, flavourful and served with just enough mildly spicy sauce such that the dish was not dry. We also tried the fried milk and king mushrooms, both of which were nothing to write home about in my opinion.
For dessert, we ordered the sweetened pancake with walnuts and cashews. This was surprisingly satisfying, both in texture and sweetness.
I’m pretty sure I couldn’t give up meat permanently but eating some of the dishes here opened my eyes to some delicious vegetarian options that I would happily eat during those times when I’m looking for meatless alternatives. Definitely recommended for vegetarians and meat eaters to give this place a try!

A great place for vegetarian food. I am a regular meat eater and I did not imagine vegetarian food can taste this good.
The interior is well maintained and looks very decent and the service was excellent.
There is a lot of detail in the use of utensils to even the napkins with beautiful napkin.
One of the few Chinese restaurants I’d highly recommend.

Service: if you are Asian, and if you bought their groupon voucher, most likely you will have no service. 1 the front desk lost our reservation. 2 before we sit down, the manager asked us to get out within 1.5 hour (WTF! In all-​you-​can eat restaurant you can sit for 2hours at least) 3 we waited for more than 20mims for a soup dish… (not to mention the time limit thing they forced on us) 4 when my friend still ate the soup & there are still some food on table, the server came by to wrap up everything
As a nice person, I still tip the server 10% on full price (before the voucher reduction) But I usually tip 15% for dinner in other restaurant.
Food: Good for a three star, although a little bit salty
I would highly recommend my Caucasian friends to visit this restaurant. Also remember to pay full price, no groupon thing welcomed here!

We like coming to Wu Tai because the veggie food is different from your typical vegetarian Chinese restaurant. The décor is much more extravagant and the food is nicely plated. We especially like the appetizer of 3 types of tofu, fried milk with a variety of mushrooms, and the sticky rice wrapped in little triangular tofu sheets. Those are pretty much our staples and then we try something else each time.
Today we weren’t impressed with the service. Lisa is amazing, but we aren’t sure if she’s still there? The rice lady came out and served it with her whole hand cupping the top of the rice so that was pretty gross. I basically just took the top layer off before eating it. There was a nice plate of eggplant with a «nest» looking thing, but she just threw it onto the table rather than placing it and turning the plate around so that the presentation would be nicer. Oh well… At least the food tasted good.

I’m not a vegetarian, in fact I’m more of a meat-​etarian… But I would recommend this place to those who like to dine vegetarian.
Mom told me a few of her friends recommended this place, so I guess she wanted to go.
Made a RSVP for Friday night, parking was full and place was packed, so we waited 15 minutes.
Sat down and ordered a few dishes which we accustomed to and also ordered some unfamiliar dishes recommend by Unilocal users.
Overall the food was very good. Although I’m not into this type of food, I could tell it was pretty well cooked, props to the kitchen!
Only complaint is the food came pretty slow considering we came later in the evening and by the time we got seated, the place was half empty.
I personally wouldn’t come back here for dinner unless if someone wanted to go or if I had to accommodate vegetarian friends — just because I prefer meat and seafood.
But I would come back to try their dim sum dishes, as they look delicious and I have faith in the kitchen.
Even though it’s not my cup of tea, I believe this place deserves 4 stars

There is nothing bad I can say about this place. Period. Staff are courteous, food is absolutely gorgeous and it is refined dining. Some days, they have a live service on the TV from the Temple.
1. Pumpkin and gingko-​nut congee smooth — tasty — delectable;
2. Wolfberry and spicy yam «floss» dumplings was an experience where I wanted to close my eyes and say more — oh my …
3. The stuffed tofu skin with the vegetable filling and vegetarian floss on top was the b.e.s.t.
4. The glutens were fresh — no question, but in comparison to everything else (which was 100% divine), they did not shine through. BUT freshness guaranteed.
5. Order the juhua (chrysanthemum) tea — it really goes well with the vegetarian food.
I love this place.

Greatest vegetarian restaurant in GTA.
I usually go to have lunch and supper with my friends and family. The food quality and price are value. However, don’t think it is similar as ‘Congee Queen’ kind of restaurant, the quality are more up higher.

I’ve been here for dinner previously and wanted to try their dimsum as I’ve heard many good things. There aren’t many chinese vegetarian restaurants around but this is as good as it gets. My favorite dish would be the pumpkin and red bean coated with almonds.

We bought the coupon from webook
Food: the menu is nice but the food are not look the picture on the menu; taste is ³⁄₅
Price: vegetarian places cost more than regular places; other vegetarian restaurants serve fake meat made of bean curd, however, this place is all about vegetables, mushroom and tofu. The price is too much for a plate of vegetables.
Service: service is slow but friendly

We went there on Saturday night. Wow this place is full. We found the staff to be courteous. We had a reservation and they were prompt in assigning a table.
The best part is this place is pure vegetarian. They don’t even use onions and garlic. So we did not have to go thru our routine of explaining the staff of what is vegetarian and what is not.
Food was delicious and portions were large. It definitely worth a shot for all those vegetarian people out there. Will come back again for sure.

Got here around 10:30 am for a table of 4 people and we were excited to try this vegetarian dim sum restaurant! We noticed the place was half full. Seemed like it was not a good sign, but then after 11:30am, a huge line was forming! Kind of odd since this place has a $ 2.88 (S, M, L) special if you place your order before 12:00pm. Also, the $ 2.88 special is cash only.
We ordered 8 dimsum dishes and 1 chef special item. The food was tasty, and steadily reached our table in a timely manner. At the beginning of our meal servers were attentive and refilled out teapots with hot water. However when it got closer to noon, we couldn‘t find anyone who could get our bill, or some take away boxes. The place seemed a bit understaffed when it was a full house.
I really liked the fried taro dumplings, the pumpkin fried rice balls, and the soft cake layered with mango sauce. The lohan vegetarian fried noodles ($ 16 — yikes!!!) never made it to our table until we asked one of the passing by servers. It was totally forgotten. It got to our table eventually, but I really wanted to try that dish earlier in my meal, in the end we had to pack it to go for takeout. Even though we had not eaten the lohan noodles during our meal, we were so stuffed from the 8 dimsum items that we ordered.

Have been wanting to try more vegetarian food lately so I found a deal on Buytopia. I bought the voucher and tried it with some friends and it turned out quite good. The price is a bit higher than usual vegetarian food used to at Chinatown in Toronto, but the food was better presented, fresher, and much less greasy.
My friends and I ordered:
— sticky rice with mushroom (triangle looking thing), that was likely my favourite
— mixed vegetable noodles (chow mein) — yummy
— crushed tofu fried balls (wasn’t as good as it looked, but tasted better when dipped in soya sauce and/​or hot sauce
— grilled eggplant
— snow pea leafs w mushrooms
Photos are posted in the gallery.
The bill came up to $ 95.00, our coupon allowed up $ 60 worth of food for $ 30. We paid a different of $ 45.00 with tip. Not too bad. The portion is a decent size.

I always come here for dinner with the fam!
First of all, the service is quite nice because the lady that was serving us was super smiley and friendly! She was also quick and efficient!~
I love how this restaurant makes very unique vegetarian dishes that are innovative and yummy! My personal favourite is the lotus root glutinous rice wrapped in bean curd! SO. GOOD. Definitely a must try for everyone!
Everything else was pretty good, I really like the fried milk as well however, I noticed that they use a lot of oil in all their dishes, so for people who can’t eat greasy foods, BEWARE!
The soup was just a-​ok, the purple sweet potato soup didn’t taste like sweet potato at all, just tasted salty :$ Would not order again.
Other than that I actually really like this restaurant and I’ll be coming again during lunch time to try their dim sum!~

Good place to host vegetarian friends.
I hosted a friend who is vegetarian and knows good Chinese vegetarian. They enjoyed it very much and took their business card so they can head back again & host their friends.
The snow pea sprouts (I’m guessing was poached in broth) was so tasty, not oily at all… compared to typical Chinese restaurants that stir-​fry them. Seems healthy & tasty.
The noodle soup is our favourite. They claim to make the ramen-​like noodles In-​house, has a great bite to it. Can have it with greens and mushroom or seaweed and fried tofu. Simple dish but so tasty/​great texture.
Had an eggplant dish that was sliced to look like the Chinese black bean eel dish. It was served on steamed white tofu. A bit salty with the black bean sauce so accompanying with rice will tone it down.
The fried wonton was a bit of a miss,…it came as big pieces of fried wonton skin but no filling/​stuffing, just big pieces of nacho looking chip with sweet & sour dipping sauce on the side. Although very tasty, it was not quite what we expected.
We did not order much this time, so will return to try other dishes.

We came here for dimsum on a Saturday morning surprised to see that it was empty. Turns out they open at 10:30am and the early bird dimsum special is until noon… $ 2.80 per item.
There was a wide variety of your classic dimsum choices in vegetarian versions. Very interesting! The presentation of all the food was appealing.
My only problem is that I found it to be quite greasy and filling as it is mostly carbs/​bean curd to substitute for many meat options.

Finding a good Chinese vegetarian restaurant is hard. But this one I gotta say, is a keeper.
A bit more on the expensive side, but also much more quality. I came for dinner with my family and we got:
Eggplant e-​fu Noodles/​Mix Vegetables with Crispy Noodles: Actually done really well. The crunchy noodles were actually crunchy!
Wintermelon and Taro Pot: My favourite. If you love your root veggies, then this is for you. The taro is on point, it’s cooked enough where it still holds it shape when you pick it up with your chopsticks. But it’s soft enough that it absorbs the sauces. SO. GOOD.
The service when you’re at the restaurant is great. They’re really attentive and they’re pretty quick with the food. The only bump in my experience was booking a reservation with a groupon during Chinese New Year. Just a note, even if the voucher might not say there are restricted dates, double check with this restaurant. There are days they don’t take it; which is kind of misleading. But in the end, the manager apologized and offered us a special dessert for when we do visit the restaurant. It was actually nice that the manager tried to resolve our discontent! Not a lot of Chinese restaurants accommodate (as I’m sure many of you know), so this was a really nice gesture.
Now I’m curious about their dimsum.
