They now serve animals. Have a couple vegan items from what I saw on door menu. Skipped it as I don’t eat at former vegan restaurants.

Friendly staff, great ambiance inside — despite the lacklustre outside entry — and delicious food.
It was hard to decide what to eat given the variety on the menu - it all sounded great! I ended up having the vegetable rolls and the red curry ramen. Everything that was served at neighbouring tables smelled delicious as well.
I was also excited that they make their own Campari in house so I could have a vegan negroni!
Sadly, they told me that soon they will be reopening under a new name. And while they will have plentiful vegan options, it won’t be an exclusively vegan restaurant.

Chi switched owners. The food is a little different but just as tasty and I have to say, easier on your wallet because the portions are larger. They are changing their menu again to include meat but will be keeping vegan options available.

Chi/Glasshouse is one of the best plant-based restaurants in Vancouver. We ordered all of the entrees and everything was incredible. Great atmosphere and very sustainable. Highly recommend!

Oh my gosh, where do I even start?! The food is here is MIND BLOWING! I'm still dreaming about the crispy Brussels sprouts—they were like little golden crisps of joy, perfectly crunchy with that zesty kiss of lemon and the prettiest shred of red cabbage. A flavour explosion in every bite! Then came the main event: the vegan lemongrass pho. The broth wasn't just broth; it was a fragrant love letter to my taste buds. So aromatic, so light yet complex, it warmed me right down to my soul. Every slurp was pure bliss, and the fresh ingredients just sang together in perfect harmony.
Honestly, this place? It’s a culinary romance. Run, don't walk, to experience this magic! ✨️ PS. Neleah our server--BEST EVER.

Glasshouse iis so much more than just a place to eat; it genuinely has a dear place in my heart. When I'm feeling under the weather, I swing by for their incredible Red Curry Ramen and it's a guaranteed cure-all for my body and my spirit! (You can see it in the second photo)
When I got promoted at work, I decided to celebrate the milestone at Glasshouse! They brought out this dreamy, rich vegan chocolate mousse, perfectly balanced with a bright compote, and even stuck a little candle in it. It was such a sweet, thoughtful gesture that just made my celebratory moment feel completely perfect. If your not eating at Glasshouse what are you doing!!! 😫💗

Absolutely loved this place. The ambiance is so nice and peaceful. Service was great! The food was amazing 🤩! They gave me a free dessert for my birthday 🎂 ❤️! I will definitely go back again 👍
This restaurant recently got a new owner and the vibes have changed in the best way. It’s the best date spot and a great place to grab some drinks w friends. We ordered a bunch of items on happy hour and everything was next level, fav being the oyster mushrooms. Our server Emma was so lovely and helped us pick the best items and drinks. Will definitely be back!

The food is pretty mind-bendingly amazing. Had the wontons and the lemongrass soup, which was much more savory and hearty than you'd think. Off the charts good. Our server, Emily?, was so sweet and helpful. Seriously my new favorite place.

The Banh Mi and Kat'zu fried rice were delicious. We had excellent service and Michael the chef (and owner) explained the dishes brilliantly - all locally sourced and almost everything is made fresh in-house, including the mayo and hot sauce!

Delicious place for date night, so much flavour and left very full :) Great place to take your non vegan friends to show them how great vegan food can be. Michael was really helpful with explaining dishes and makes the seitan fresh every morning. Only wish we knew about this place sooner! Will defo be returning.

Delicious food, I had a banh mi and my partner had katsu fried rice. The seitan is made fresh each morning and Michael the owner and chef is super helpful and friendly. Can’t wait to return!
