Recently discovered this place and OMG the food is to die for! We felt welcomed and the staff was very friendly and treated us like family. If youre vegan or vegetarian then this place should be on the top of your list!

Fresh, delicious vegan food of generous portions and wonderful flavours. We've eaten our way through the whole menu and every dish is a favourite. The family that runs this restaurant is super lovely and make all the food with love. Thank you guys! ❤️

Great place for vegans and vegetarians. Interesting and salivating burgers; delicious noodles and rice dishes. Recommendation: hot plate noodles👍. Curry laksa is spicy hot 🌶🌶, good for those who enjoy the strong kick.

Fantastic food and very friendly family service. The popcorn chicken great. Ended up getting a second Laksa Rice takeaway to have for lunch the next day. Couldn't recommend enough for omnivores, veggoes and vegans. I'll definitely be back again.

The fusion in these foods are insanely good, I was very impressed with the ratio of tastes in one bite of the ‘brekky burrito’ also the fusion between Korean food and chips was the bomb.

This is a very fine venue. What a little gem of a place - too good to miss if you live in Melbourne, are visiting Melbourne or just want to take your friends out for a very groovy time. I attended a private Birthday celebration at Little Oscar last night and truly had the best time. Food, drinks and staff were on point. Can't wait to go back again and again and again. Loved it -Thanks Little Oscar �

I celebrated my 40th birthday at Little Oscars hiring the whole venue. The staff could not have been more accommodating, making sure everything was perfect for my special night. I have been receiving messages all day complimenting the delicious food. Thank you again Mark & all staff for making the night absolutely perfect. Highly recommend this venue

The Origin Tales food is delicious! Had the sweet & sour dish today and it was jam packed with so much flavour. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu!

We went to Little Oscars for my daughter's 22nd birthday. The staff were very hands on and helpful. My two little nephews were with us and the staff were great with them too. The food was amazing and we would recommend it too everybody.

Absolutely the best chicken sandwich in Brunswick and in the top 5 in Melbourne!

Really enjoyed our dinner here. Venue is great and clean. Staff were amazing all night. Very welcoming from the get go and made sure to check up on us and the other tables throughout the night. Started off with the wings which were delicious and tender. Both the wagyu and sweet chilli chips were cooked perfectly. The sliders was an interesting way to go for those dining in, but I really liked it. Easy to eat, not to messy, doesn't fall apart. The only feedback is towards the soba noodles. Just missing a bit of flavour compared to the other dishes. Apparently they will be doing a brunch menu soon. So cafe in the morning, burger bar at night.

This is a fantastic little spot. Coffee was a bit slow, but really good. Food was yummy and interesting mix of flavours on the menu.
Neil Hargreaves
A totally pleasurable experience. Super current New York/ Korea low food done with care and attention to detail. Casual friendly but brisk and professional floor staff that make you feel relaxed and in good hands. Great fit out Even better (seasonal) cocktail list. Lucky to have this spot in downtown Brunswick, we'll be back.
Andrew Di Benedetto

Phone order, pickup. Very quick service.<br/><br/>Char kway teow, $14.90, nicely seasoned had good mix of veggies and tofu.<br/><br/>Popcorn chicken (vegan soy-meat), $11, so crispy and tasty. It really hits the spot for comfort food.<br/><br/>They use compostable biopacks.

If your tired of the dirty vegan burger craze and want something tasty but non greasy this is your place!! Staff are so friendly, food is always delish. I got the chicken zinger burger and it was amazing!!
Melissa McConnell
Have been here a few times and the food is always great and the service is also amazing. Great vegan option.

If you are in the Brunswick East area, please drop by to check out this restaurant. Great food, quiet place and friendly staff. The price is slightly higher than normal asian restaurant but it is definitely worth to try. They also offer lunch special at a cheaper rate. Highly recommend to try out the dishes below <br/>- Smokey fried rice<br/>- Pop corn chicken<br/>- Roasted duck<br/>- Zinger tower<br/>- Double decker<br/><br/>I really think this restaurant is a hidden gem and deserves more attention.

Knowing my love of mock meat, both Thirsty Vegan (who last appeared in my review of Maccaroni Osteria Italiana) and Sand Pirate Penguin (who last appeared in my review of Vegie Mum) had told me about new vegan place Origin Tales in Brunswick East. I tried it twice and wasn’t disappointed. The first time, I visited with Thirsty Vegan after attending a literary event in the city. Potato Vegan, who subsists on a plant-free diet of Lord of the Fries, and Accidental Vegan, who is always mistaken for a vegan despite her omnivorous diet, joined us but neither of them ate.

Went to this place through a recommendation. I am not a fan of vegan food but Origin Tales was successful in showing me how amazing vegan food can be! Amazing burgers and thai curry!

If you like vegan junk food, this is your heaven. The healthiest item on the menu is the small salad that comes with some dishes. Not a place to eat light. It is good though, as anything that's salty or fried is sure to be. I started with the tempura calamari on request of my partner. It was definitely not tempura but instead a much heavier and breadier fry, which was way too dense and oily for my liking. A light panko crumb would have been better. I did really like the mock squid though, which tasted "authentic". We also tried the stuffed roti, a bit small for the price but filled with a tasty curried protein of some sort (maybe tvp?) and served with a slightly redundant but also tasty curried sauce. For a main, we got the laksa fried rice, which was spicy but not too intense, and chock full of mock meat and faux prawn. The three dishes paired nicely, although I was left with a bit of a stomachache from a spice and oil overload. I would give this place a 3, but the staff are great and the fully vegan concept is one I want to support, hence the bump up to a 4.

Great food and great service. Glad the whole menu is vegan. Will definitely come back and try more things. The prices are also good. I got the poke bowl and my friend got the zinger burger. I'd love to see some more healthier options similar to the poke bowl but with a different set of vegetables and sauces yknow? More poke bowls! :D
Sammie Lim
Really enjoyed the food here. We had the hainanese chicken rice and the zinger burger - both were delicious. The sauces are homemade and very tasty. Service was warm and friendly. If you are vegan (or not) living in Brunswick & surrounds...this is a must try!

The best vegan cheeseburger I’ve had in Melbourne - it’s off the charts!!! Super friendly service,great value and that cheeseburger. Just go you won’t be disappointed - my new fave
Jennyabouttown
Great vegan Asian restaurant!<br/><br/>Ordered the Singapore Mee Goreng. Don’t missed the fact that it did not have chicken or egg but wished they had more vegetables in it. <br/><br/>Will come back to try other dishes. <br/><br/>
Olivia Bluett
Yum! This place is awesome. I ordered through Deliveroo. I got the zinger burger which was my favourite, reminded me so much of the kfc zinger burger which I used to love pre vegan. Also got the loaded fries and the mee goreng which were both delicious. Epic vegan food. Will definitely order again!
Jun Jie Ong
The zinger tower is so so so awesome. It's the best burger i had so far! Cant wait to try other dishes they have on the menu cause everything looks so delicious. Staff is cheerful and friendly. Highly recommended!
Caterina Fisher
First of all the staff were absolutely beautiful and so kind, it was the best vegan food I have had in a while, and man oh man those truffle fries!!! 😍
Jean Loren
This place just feels good when you walk in, the service is welcoming and the food is delicious. I had the poke bowl which was clean, fresh and light.
Julia
Such a lovely restaurant with delicious meals and really friendly staff. 10/10 Would recommend the Mee Goreng, Zinger Burger and loaded fries!
Mia
Delicious food with very friendly staff and run by a lovely family. Unfortunately the menu is a bit overpriced - $16.90 for a burger on its own without chips is too much. Will definitely be back though!
Veganaut
Amazing food! I would say one of the best Asian vegan restaurants in Melbourne. Delicious and authentic Singaporean food. The service is fabulous too. Whether you come in for coffee or for food you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend the popcorn “chicken”. Will be back again soon.
Nathan Kelly
Very friendly service. Tasty burgers. All vegan. Well worth a visit and always good to support a new business that is completely cruelty free
Jonti Ridley
Delicious vegan food, all very reasonably priced, service was excellent and did i mention the delicious food?? Absolutely recommend trying here (I’m not even vegan and loved it)
Li Li
The food here is really fresh & tasty. I loved the flat bread & the popcorn chicken. Everything on the menu is vegan & I believe there is a need for it in the area... great service & beautiful fit out.. this will be my go to local place for sure
Delicious Doris
Love love love this place. We had the (giantic) zinger burger, sweet and sour chicken, char kuay teow, stuffed roti and taro pie. Loved everything. Super friendly service too. Definitely coming back.
