We went to this Vietnamese Vegan Restaurant tucked away unobtrusively in the "sleepy "Crest Strip Mall in Burnaby /New Westminister area today for lunch . The Restaurant is owned & run by a Vietnamese Family & reportedly been around for past 21 years. We ordered the Mixed Fried Rice, Veg Noodle, Eggplant Coconut Curry in Claypot & Spring Rolls. All the dishes were tasty & nice -though the Eggplant curry lacked more spice & seasoning. However the Restaurant had all kinds of Chilli, Sriracha, Sweet , Plum sauces & these added to the flavour. All dishes were freshly made & served piping hot -specially the Spring Rolls (we had 2 helpings of this dish). Prices were reasonable & service was good, pleasing & efficient. The Restaurant is very Spartan but homely & the Toilet was kept in immaculate condition . The only negative point I like to add is that the Rice used in the Fried Rice was a coarse variety with large grains instead of the usual Jasmine Rice. ( Indian Basmati Rice would have enhanced the flavour further).
We will return to this Restaurant again in the near future. (Restaurant closes on Sun, Mon, Tue -every week).

I wish I lived closer to Nam Vegan Express because it’s such a great spot! Service is so kind and the food has always been so good! They have a great selection of menu items and the shop is cozy and not too big. Would highly this establishment to anyone (vegan and non vegan) looking for a comforting and healthy meal.
The vanilla strawberry cake is the best :)

It’s a bit out in the edge of Burnaby. But this tiny eatery gets filled very quickly as soon as it opens. I had combo #2 eggless spring rolls and vegan pho. The soup is so good ( i did request to have my food prepared with less salt) worth trying! I especially like they made with daikon (my fav veg soup ingredient) based soup! Will return to try the rest of the menu.

If you’re on the hunt for a meal that’s like a cozy hug from the inside out, look no further! This place serves vegan food that’s so delicious, it’ll make you forget sharing is an option. Tonight, we devoured some fried eggless rolls, the Vegan Pho and the V-Chicken Curry with vermicelli, and let me tell you, they were all off-the-charts amazing—definitely a solid 11/10. It’s comfort food at its finest, packed with personality and was served in a bag with a cute personal message that will surely make you smile. Treat yourself and your taste buds—you won’t regret it!
