Lotus Pond Vegetarian Restaurant, located in downtown, is a well-known vegan establishment, offering a pay-by-weight buffet and full menu, all in Chinese style. The restaurant avoids using onion and garlic in their cooking, in line with Buddhist principles. The menu features various dishes, including the popular Szechuan eggplant, turnip cakes, chow mein, and stir-fries. The restaurant is owned by a person of color and has received recognition as one of the best vegan establishments on Vancouver Island. Known for its care in takeout packaging, the restaurant offers a variety of options, such as the Buddha's Feast, Mapo Tofu, and Ginger B, all of which are highly recommended. While the restaurant no longer offers dine-in services, the combo option remains a popular and affordable choice for customers.
