New favourite restaurant! I can't believe I'd not eaten here till now. I had the macro dragon bowl and the oyster mushroom calamari. Both blew my mind!
I’m down from Sydney visiting my daughter who’s vegan which means lots of eating out at vegan places. She said Yong is supposed to be the best, it was her first time there and after dinner we agreed, it is the best.

In between lock downs, we were lucky enough to head out to a good old favourite. Yong Green’s has been serving up delicious vegetarian cuisine for years, and is still going strong – despite all. With an Asian flare and everything meat-free. We were in for a treat. Cauliflower florets were battered with rice-flour, crumbed and fried, served with a chilli soy mayo. These delectable bites were crisp and more-ish with the tangy sauce.
Yong green foods dishes were all very good. I came for my boyfriends birthday, and we booked the day before on zomato for 6 people. However, when we arrived they said we did not book, even though we had the confirmation email from zomato to show we had for that time and date. Luckly, they had room, as it wasn't too busy. The service wasn't great. It took at least 15mins for a server to come over and get our order. They also didn't explain how big the servings were. For 6 of us, we ordered 4 entrees and a main each. When in fact, the 4 entrees could've been enough feeding us all, with the addition of one main. It was a shame to see so much food wasted. It was good that we were able to take home some of the dishes in containers. The mock-beef did not have much seasoning or flavour, however, the tofu was very nice for protein substitutes. I would come back to see if the service was having an off day just because all the food was fantastic aside from the mock-beef, and it's very affordable now knowing how big the portions are.

Isolated at a hipster corner of Fitzroy along with a few other popular vegan eateries, this whimsical, modern and green ambience matches a secret hangout for vegan hunters as the layout of seats are casual and fun to have company with. The food on the menu are mostly Asian fusion with a twist of Korean style. Our favourite dish would be the oyster mushroom calamari with fresh tomato and aioli sauce. Coated with chickpea, rice batter and chia seeds, the resembling calamari was creamy, starchy, dense, a perfect delight companying with some spirit :)
Came here with a few non-vegan friends and we all left full and happy from the delicious food. There were lots of options to choose from for any type of eater. I would recommend the Lime Crush drink or Watermelon Crush drink and the Udon noodles (although my friend's lentil curry looked so good too!)
✨Pros: Food came out quickly, delicious drinks
✨ Cons: Not really anything. The waitress did get out table confused with the one next to us a few times but we didn't care.
Fast friendly service, great quality food and a cosy ambience. I always leave happy and full from this vegan gem. I’m also a big fan of their tempeh.
Tried this place for the first time and it was amazing! Personally not a vegan but enjoy good vegan finds! Wanted to order everything on the menu but obviously couldn’t so will definitely be back to try others on the menu. Everything we ordered tasted amazing and was not one drop of disappointment. Even the drinks were amazing, got the espresso martini and it is one of the best I’ve ever had!! 😍 Highly recommend!

Yong Green has got to be one of my favourite places to eat in Melbourne. I’ve tried pretty much everything on the menu and it’s all really good.
I’ve never been a huge fan of mock meat until I have it a try at Yong Green. The Teriyaki ‘Chicken’ is amazing! I’ve taken quite a few friends and family here when they come to visit Melbourne and they always rate the food highly too.
Staff are so accommodating and friendly, I haven’t been able to fault the place yet. If you’re really wanting to dine here I highly recommend making a reservation so you don’t miss out.
Really enjoyed the oyster mushroom ‘ calamari ‘ and the kelp noodle pad Thai which were both really inventive and delicious . Although the pancake platter was really stodgy, bland and was the only poor note . Overall I still really enjoyed my experience .
Regularly eat at yongs!
It's always so hard to choose because everything is delicious but i usually end up with the classic dragon bowl!
The service is amazing and everything comes out so fast.
Ordered take away lunch
Was a great healthy option when on a specific diet for food intolerances
Heard about it from a friend so wanted to check it out
Took a while for my food but was happy once I ate it
Had the most wonderful experience at Yong Green last night. My friend and I were served by Kashew (hope that's how you spell it) and it was the most attentive and friendly service we have has in a long long time. The lovely server took us through the menu so patiently (everything looked so good it was overwhelming) and gave us the best suggestions. The food was clean, fresh, healthy and huuuuge and we will definitely be back. Also - whatever you're paying this amazing man, it's not enough!!! 10/10 service :)
