30 Best Vegan Restaurants in New Westminster

“Recently returned back to Wild Thyme for lunch in January 2026. I remember first coming across this place back in 2016 and I used to frequent this place for lunch when I worked in the area. But it's been about 7 years since we were last here.

We ordered the 1/2 Kafta 1/2 Chicken with Rice ($64.95) which is good enough for 2 people. I really like the kafta here. And even tho the chicken breast is thick, it's not overly dry.

We also ordered the 1/2 and 1/2 Flatbread ($36.95) which comes with a half order of Fattoush Salad. Love how bright and cheery the salad is with the pomegranate seeds. For the flatbread, we picked the Chicken Taouk and the Mananek and Kashkaval Cheese. This pizza is huge.

We were actually quite full from the bread and dips that came with our meal (one of the main reasons for coming here).

Some food takes a while to come out but the food's tasty. Depending on where you sit, temp can be either too hot or too cold.“

“Highly recommend! Food, services and the environment are PERFECT!!! Definitely will recommend to everyone around me!“

“My poutine, the La Montreal, is Montreal smoked meat atop with dill pickles and mustard, which meshed surprisingly well with the gravy and cheese curds. I would definitely get it again...“

“Amazing sandwiches and salad rolls!! so fresh and delicious. Highly recommend!“

“Tried your ice cream for the first time last night. Had the Double Chocolate Raspberry and I can honestly say that it was the best flavour I've had in my life!!!“

“I came here with my partner, and omg I wasn’t expecting the rolls to be this good, such a creative design with a fresh taste, 10/10 recommended specially if you are willing to spend a good amount or even save. The waiters were nice and had a nice a vibe“

“A Wedding Day Win Thanks to Columbia Street Sandwich Company!

I simply have to share our fantastic experience with the Columbia Street Sandwich Company in New Westminster! When my son Adam got married on July 5th, we had a large wedding party staying at the Inn at the Quai, and the morning-of fueling was a top priority. We needed a vendor who could not only prepare delicious breakfast and lunch but also deliver it precisely on time to our hotel. And let me tell you, Sam, the owner, and her incredible team absolutely knocked it out of the park!

Breakfast was a dream come true for ten hungry people getting ready for the big day: a perfect combination of delicious breakfast sandwiches, fresh baked goods, a vibrant fresh fruit plate, and a carafe of piping hot coffee. The best part? Sam herself delivered it right on schedule!

Lunch was equally impressive, featuring a delightful mix of mini croissant sandwiches, a hearty veggie plate, and a refreshing assortment of water and juices to wash it all down. And again, delivered on time by Sam!

Beyond the fantastic food, the value for dollars spent was truly exceptional. Sam was the epitome of professionalism, never once trying to upsell us or push for more than we needed. She genuinely cared that everything went smoothly, and it absolutely did.

If you're looking for top-notch catering with impeccable service, incredible value, and a personal touch, look no further than the Columbia Street Sandwich Company. They truly made a significant and positive impact on a very special day!“

“Wonderful owners, delicious food and the coffee was amazing! Such a treat and I highly recommend to everyone who ventures through New West! The only issue is how to choose which in house baked pastries to eat!“

“Food was delicious. Came in got seated right away. Got my food in less than 15 minutes which is insanely fast. Definitely coming back here more often“

“Came in and was immediately greeted by friendly woman at the front. She provided great details about food items and made recommendations about food.
I felt like she took the time to ensure I was making a choice that was suited for me. She gave me recommendations for future visits as well.

I received the AUTHENTIC Chai and Mango Chicken wrap. Both were absolutely delicious and filling. The Chai was seasoned well with appropriate spices, as a South Indian, this chai earned title as an Authentic Chai.

The wrap was filled with flavour and seasonings that blended well together. It’s a big sized wrap that I split into two. She served it grilled and provided reheating instructions as well.“

“Love this place! Strong sense of community, excellent little bookshop section and very delicious coffees and baked goods. We bought a pistachio croissant and a raspberry white chocolate scone, and both are phenomenal. Keep up the excellent baking and strong values!!“

“A hidden gem of New West!

I am a huge sushi lover and I’m always on a hunt 🙂 I work in the area and came across this place: what a luck!
Absolutely delicious rolls and my personal favourites are their Philadelphia and California (yes, a regular simple California tastes so very special, I can’t get enough!) My fav order is a three rolls combo: California - Philadelphia - Spicy tuna. Delicious!

Ordered there a takeout for Christmas Eve dinner and it was outstanding’“

“Highly recommend! Food, services and the environment are PERFECT!!! Definitely will recommend to everyone around me!“

“Lovely framed professional-looking photographs on the wall inside the restaurant. There were all these cute drawings too, including a happy mouse holding a little lantern with his tail! Pictured: tofu and veggie soup noodles, and various sauces provided.“

“Great customer service ,delicious cinnamon buns and coffee☕️“

“Good food.Fair Price.Great ambiance.“

“Exceptional quality food, friendly and efficient service.“

“Strong pungent smell of the cured/ dried fish in the air hits you the moment you enter.
Friendly staff, clean and well setup.
Well tried to show case Thai traditional aesthetic designs in the walls.tried crispy prawn wonton, pandanus chicken, pad Thai chicken, pla rad pag and jasmine rice.“

“With a few simple changes can be 5/5

1) Delivery Food Bags *please start sealing these. I know some restaurants staple the bag, perhaps try that. They go into delivery drivers cars opened and it’s not sanitary or food safe.

2) Please keep drinks in stock or refund the drinks if they’re not in stock. All my recent orders are the wrong drinks but I don’t want to refund it because you still gave a drink.

3) Pho quality - great pho, but lately it’s been only a sprinkle of veggies and 99% noodles. Previously there were way more veggies included making the $20 worth it.

Again, great family restaurant just needs to make a few changes.“

“This place slaps! hard! took me right back to Thailand! 11/10 recommend.“

“we were not very happy arriving 10 mins after opening and having to wait for a table for over 5 mins. no one in the restaurant. That was by the operational manager. Our Waiter (Bartender) was awesome!!!“

“My favourite hotpot restaurant :) I love the individual hot pot idea and all the ingredients are very fresh and tasty. Always have an amazing experience here“

“Great food, friendly staff, and boardgames. Perfect combo.“

“Overall best breakfast EVER! Don’t know what they do with their eggs?! 🍳 but AMAZING 💯!! Love love love. And convenient location !!“

“Love the decor and it’s amazing food“

“Delicious food and a great place for a quick bite! Thank you Thai new west!!!“

“Amazing value and super cozy! The wonton soup tastes like the one I usually get from Richmond public market, the chicken fried rice tasted like home, the veggies were crisp and perfectly cooked, the the sweet and sour pork wasn't hard!

On top of that, the food well priced compared to what you'll usually get for 40 bucks!“

“My daughter says this is her favourite pizza in the whole entire world and will only eat pizza here“

“Third time, shared pizza, not as spectacular as ice cream, dough was pale and undercooked, toppings were sparse. I see what people say about staff, this time they were pretty clueless and not really helpful. Again didn't get to try Pizza, maybe next time but Ice Creams just as good as remembered. Sweet tangy pink grapefruit felt like eating crushed frozen fruit and Chocolate like a melted frozen chocolate, Scrumptious! Staff couldn't have been more pleasant. They do not do tastings, probably to much trouble when busy but do other food places??? Of course not. Maybe could do an after you pay, try a couple? Anyway great Icecream
Couldn’t try the pizza but if its as fabulous as the ice cream…. Best Ice cream i’ve had here and I’ve tried a lot! This is tasty, luscious cold and soft. Service was fine, wish we could have had more, hopefully another time.“

“Hello guys,
The place which i have visited for pizza is very amazing . Mainly i want to talk about the custom service which is very amazing. “Kamal” who is very kind hearted and her customer service is uncountable also i want to mention that her employees behaviour for customers is very better than other shops. Apart from that the food is good and they are making it with in a minute the pizza, the food service is much faster as compared to other once.

Thank you,
Shivam“
