When I first arrived I considered walking out as it wasn't the cleanest floor I had ever seen, which was a real shame because the food was amazing - like amazing. The food was so good and the people that work there are very nice. Unfortunately I wouldn't feel comfortable taking friends here due the lack of cleanliness in the dining room.
we need more vegan friendly places like this place!
the food was light & fresh! also great for people who have issues eating onion & garlic, meesu doesn't use them!
i had the boiled dumplings, veggies with rice noodles & "chicken" nuggets!
so damn good! everyone always raves about the dumplings, the noodles were so light and fresh & the nuggets were so flavoursome.. more than any other nuggets i've had!
the only bad thing is that it is a little bit pricey.
Lemon Chicken. The lemon gluten chicken box is sooo good~! Everything goes really well together.
Great owners too
My partner and I are regulars here because the food is tasty, generous and quirky. The owner/manager is really sweet, which contributes to the restaurant's happy and homely atmosphere. His children clear your plates (in between watching movies/eating their dinner at a corner table) and his wife occasionally appears from within the kitchen to help with serving. The vegan items on the menu are clearly marked. The food is delicious and varied, with a huge selection of imitation meats, some of which are eerily realistic while others are more of a slightly comical novelty (e.g. the prawns!) This place is comforting, low-key and cute and never fails to satisfy. The milky iced teas are worth trying, especially the taro!
Vegan heaven!! I've long been searching for somewhere that had dumpling noodle soup without using animal broth... Meesu was the only place I found and it did not disappoint. So many options - can't wait to go back for more. Small, family run place with great service.
Lovely crispy salt & pepper tofu and delicious dumpling noodle soup. Friendly service, only fault was the long wait but was def worth it. Will be back!!
Awesome delicious Asian food - and the man who runs this store is such a nice person. He always seems to remember that my partner and I are vegan - and he will point out if we accidentally order one of the few non-vegan items on the menu! Such good soul food and good prices. The green tea range is really nice too!
I love this place. As soon as you walk in the door, you feel so welcomed by this beautiful family. The food is delicious and even meat-eater friends love it. Fake meats aren't for everyone, but as a vegetarian of only a few years, I do miss eating meat from time to time, and this place nails it. The food is yummy (the ribs and salt & pepper 'chicken' are so good!), the price is right, and I love the idea that I'm supporting this lovely family.
Great little place for takeout. Cheap and yummy! My dad loves the food here.
It's a lovely family run restaurant with friendly and helpful service.
Great. The presentation of the dish I had was excellent and it tasted great. I found the mock meat vey convincing being a recently converted vegan. Will return again.
WOW!. The best vegetarian and vegan take out in Adelaide! Even the meat eating housemate couldn't believe how amazing the food tasted!
Quick and efficient service and very affordable.
Great Discovery. Meesu is situated in a fantastic location and unlike many other vegetarian restaurants with meat substitute, the meat substitute here tastes so similar to the real thing that you could hardly taste the difference. The family is lovely and the prices are reasonable.
Nice family run place. Great service. Tastey and interesting food.
Pretty good would go again to try some other things.
A regular favorite. My partner and I often eat at Meesu, sometimes a few times a week. The service, prices and variety are excellent, it is in my opinion the best entirely vegetarian restaurant in Adelaide, it has even impressed my more omnivorously inclined friends.
Our favourite must be the selection of noodle soups. all of which are fantastic, filling and very well priced. Meesu also has dishes comprised of Ho Tou mushrooms, which the store actually has to import from Taiwan; apparently no where else cooks or sells them, which is a shame because they are very tasty.
I definitely recommend giving meesu a try, even if you are a meat eater, and I hope you are pleasantly surprised.
Just what you need on a cold, wet night!. The food here is absolutley delicious. its clean, simple and of course... vegetarian. it's great to know that a small place like this is settled in Adelaide. I ordered the herbal soup and was quite impressed, my mum was equally impressed with her dumpling soup. Both broths couldn't have been any different. They had an amazing warming flavour and I was impressed with the textures and flavours of the soy meats (which were so intriguing!). Other options on the menu include various hot pots, stir-fry's and a plentiful range of bubble teas - which i am keen to try!
The staff are also friendly and welcoming.

A mate of mine was in town and working on Hutt St, we decided to go out for a quick bite to eat and wanted somewhere local. One block west of Hutt St is Meesu Vegetarian Kitchen - a 99% vegan Chinese/Asian fusion restaurant. It was a one man front of house band on a Wednesday night with one chef in the kitchen. The waiter (and maybe owner?) was friendly and super helpful when I asked about the menu.
The staff were absolutely wonderful, informative, friendly, and there was a huge menu to choose from!
There was quite a long wait as they were pretty busy when we went, but the drinks were lovely while we waited.
I love that a vegetarian can order without worries here, and all you need to do is ask for your order to be vegan, and they'll take care of the rest!
I can't say I recommend the chicken burger, it doesn't have a lot of flavour and the spongy bread-like texture of the patty was very off-putting. The crumbling was nice though.
The "mozzarella sticks" were creamy and tasty, but don't bite into them expecting stretchy cheese. They're quite soft.
Overall a lovely experience, I'm gonna try something else on the menu next time though!
Wow! We stumbled onto this but what an amazing find. Everything vegetarian with vegan options. And the Americana style dishes are just great.
Their drinks range of house made sodas are also worth trying
The location elevated above Adelaide Arcade with views over Rundle mall are lovely. And the interior a fun mix of 60’s furniture and older 1890s architecture of Adelaide Arcade
Food was fast and service was good.
A friend suggested we go here for lunch, was not aware it was a vego restaurant. Pleasantly surprised, ordered the cajun salad and it was delicious. The fried chicken was really tasty, once you got over the texture of it, kind of bread like. Tried the soda too, was nice and they had a variety of different flavours that you wouldn’t normally get from a softy. Service was friendly and food came out nice and fast
What a find. Ordered the onion rings and they were amazing. A must have if you are here. We also had the cheeseburger and the Baron burger and both were delicious. Highly recommend dropping in.
A lovely friendly restaurant, The staff were extremely efficient and offered suggestions to those who hadn't dined vegetarian before, The wait time was also quite quick,I had the onion ring burger and it was really good
Delicious food! My friend and I ordered 'The jailbird' and the 'Chilli Cheese Fries', along with a lime and choc milkshake. It was served promptly and the view from the balcony was wonderful, so peaceful and pretty. I would recommend this food to all, you couldn't tell there was no meat!!!
Wonderful little place, deserves more awareness! The sodas have a nice almost herbal taste, and the vegan Mac and cheese is fantastic.
The breaded tenders have a very unique approach of being sourdough-like pieces crumbed and fried, creating that chicken-like chewiness in a familiar way.
Great place to go with friends
