The best vegetarian food I've ever tasted! All the dishes are exquisite and there's food for every kind of taste, even for those who are not vegetarians. Very good restaurant.
I come here on a weekly basis I cannot get enough. My goal is to eventually order everything on the menu! To top it off the staff are lovely!
Delicious food with fantastic service. Fresh ingredients used and cooked with lots of love. Highly recommended for vegetarian food lovers. 2 thumbs up.

Perfect hidden jewel . Easy to find opposite elsternwick railway station.
The staff are very helpful, attentive and helpful. Always there to help.
The food is defiantly 5 star . Lion head, tofu hotpot, char Siew is top quality.
Must try for anyone and must go place for vegetarian .
Staff were polite and attentive. The Roast Duck was excellent . We also shared spring rolls which were nice too . I would recommend it . I will be back .
I am absolutely obsessed with Ren Dao!!!! I don’t think I go a week without coming here. My family and I never leave without their coconut butter chicken!! The mock chicken is amazing. Definitely recommend this for all of vegetarians, vegans and even for those meat eaters that my fellow vegos are trying to show how amazing being vegetarian is. We also love the katsu curry, the sweet and sour chicken and basically everything else. AMAZING. And the service is always great.
Beautiful meals, with some of the ‘chicken’ pieces able to fool even a staunch carnivore! Entrees were delicious, but don’t eat too much, because the main meals were huge servings. With prices averaging $20, it’s certainly great value for money.
Would recommend to any vegetarian, and that friend you want to show amazing vegetarian food to.
Food was great too but more amazing was the customer service..!! Excellent..!! My inlaws are too picky about food but they loved it too..!!!!!
I loooove this place! Their food is absolutely delish and their staff are super sweet. Service is always quick and we never have to wait long for our meals. Definitely recommend it :)
Cute little place, nice employees and nice food.
The mee goreng is really nice, it'd be perfect with vermicelli noodles instead of thick noodles, and maybe some sweet soy sauce. But that's personal preference. They aren't stingy with the veggie meats which is nice.
The nasi lamak is okay but it's nothing like nasi lamak I've had elsewhere. More like curry (which I don't love) and rice on the side.
The roti is nice but I'd try a diff sauce instead of the spicy one, I think it was the same curry as the nasi lamak.
I would return to try different dishes.
We love Ren Dao! Lovely staff, amazing food, very nice place to eat 10/10. Personal favorites are the curry laksa & mee goreng. Great value money
We dropped in because we have a vegetarian guest we wished to shout a nice meal.
I like vegetarian dishes (especially in Indian restaurants) but I'm no expert. The menu items were largely unfamiliar, and when I began to order an interesting looking dish, the lady taking the order kindly suggested I might not like that particular dish, and suggested another one I would mostly likely enjoy. And she was right. I think that care and consideration alone is worth a better rating.
We went away happy.
Nervously walked in for the first time to get take away for a really big order. The waitress was very sweet and accommodating. She insisted I sat inside to wait, ensuring I felt comfortable. Really positive and welcoming energy and would definitely consider dining in one day.
One of the best vegan restaurant in Melbourne for friends gathering or a treat to yourself. The owners are super humble and lovely people and have been working on this restaurant for over 11 years. You can really tell they put effort and love in the food. Highly recommend!
Tasty food and nice ambience. Probably one of the best Vegetarian restaurant in Melbourne. Tamarind Fish which is chef's special comes highly recommended. Can be a bit pricy for some dishes though.
Food's good, don't get me wrong, just the Japanese one's are sub-par different in flavour in my opinion, I'd personally steer from Japanese. You can visibly see the difference from the poster too!
Other than that, I'd come back for other dishes as the Ma Po Tofu and Roast Duck was promising.
Delicious food! That's was first experience in Vegetarian restaurant in Melbourne and I was so surprised when everything was so delicious and tasty. Also, the staff is so nice and helpful too. I recommend that place to enjoy at least ones of time.
Food is above average.
They do vegetarian food but taste like meat.
🐠🐠We ordered chef special fried fish which is stunning! Fish is crispy and tender while sauce really makes the dish stands out. If you like sweet and sour, definitely go for this one!
2nd dish, lion head. It’s an traditional Chinese dish made from veggies. Doesn’t really taste like the original lion head but sauce again is amazing! Like the soft mushroom full of flavor!
🍜 Last dish, fried noodle (last on in the noodle section), bit oily. Average noodle taste. Nothing speacialb
Overall, a nice vegetarian restaurant worth trying. Above average
really great food here. the japanese katsu curry is to die for, and they have a wide range to choose from on the menu. i have brought many non vegetarian and vegan friends and they have loved this place! service could be a little faster but i understand it is hard with such a small number of people working and they are always super apologetic when you have been waiting for a while. food may seem pricey but it is great value for money as the servings are massive! this is definitely one of my go to local restaurants. pictured is the char mee and japanese curry.
