Ambrosia Veggie House is a volunteer-run establishment that truly shines with its commitment to quality food and service. Which pose the question, “where have you bean my whole life”?
The staff at Ambrosia were incredibly kind and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Their passion for food really showed in every dish they served. The house-made tea from Golden Mountain was a refreshing addition and complemented the meal beautifully.
The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the pho. It was the best I’ve had in a long time—rich, flavorful, and perfectly crafted. The Malaysian curry was another standout dish; it was aromatic and packed with delightful spices that transported my taste buds to Southeast Asia.
I also loved the fried enoki mushrooms—they were crispy, light, and a fantastic twist on traditional fried snacks. The papaya salad served on faux shrimp chips was a delightful surprise, bursting with freshness and flavor.
Everything I tasted was not only delicious but clearly made with heart. It’s evident that the team at Ambrosia is dedicated to providing a warm, welcoming atmosphere alongside their outstanding cuisine. I highly recommend Ambrosia Veggie House to anyone looking for a meal filled with love!

Had their Vegan dinner buffet. Their buffet is small, not much for selections but for $20 I was still full. I quite enjoyed their peanut satay skewers and Thai curry. They had mango pudding as well for dessert and fruit salad. The soup was like Russian Borscht but Hong Kong style but milder. They do change up the dishes as what sells out. Their lunch is $18. Dinner buffet seems to open only Friday from 5-7pm, very short operation hours. Seating is 1 hr. For the buffet. They will charge for food waste. They accept CASH only. All wait staff and cooks are run by volunteers only. Their is a tip jar but I'm not sure if it's donated to the temple or the staff? They serve all types of hot tea pots and they serve vegan hot pots on regular hours. So, no hot pots are served during buffet time. It's a quiet establishment and they have many complimentary Buddhist books and vegetarian/vegan cook books for free or donations. Some is in Chinese. But quite a few in English. A good place to check out but remember the selections are very limited
Wheelchair accessibility: Their is a ramp and handicap washroom
Very decent vegetarian buffet for a very reasonable price point. Good ?

Wonderful dining experience in Ambrosia, I love the buffet here, very authentic Chinese/Taiwanese food and super flavourful yet healthy, I love the blueberry ginseng tea and roselle tea the most. They have free parking at the rear! Surprisingly it runs by volunteers, highly recommended for vegan and non-vegan to try!!!
