Living in Toronto as a vegan and searching for a vegan-friendly restaurant can be a little difficult if you do not know much about our food scene. After all these years, we still find customers shocked to hear about our "CHAY" menu, which consists of various plant-based and vegetarian alternatives to our classic Vietnamese dishes. Vietnam has a long history of vegetarian/vegan cuisine. Many of these dishes have actually been passed on through generations. Our recipes are so unique to us because our family collectively perfected them when we opened Toronto Pho. This is why it's even more rewarding when our customers rave about our food. It’s super personal to us. Thanks for all the love!
It's so lovely when we get new customers to the GTA or recently made the lifestyle change to veganism and can enjoy a meal at Toronto Pho. In case, you were not familiar with our CHAY menu we have compiled a list of some of the best vegan/ vegetarian dishes you can order at Toronto Pho to make things easier.
First on the list,
We like to keep things simple but comforting at Toronto Pho. There isn't a lot of oil, sodium, or unhealthy stuff added to our menu items. The spring roll vermicelli dish is an excellent example of precisely that.
It's the perfect vermicelli noodles topped with our house made vegetarian spring rolls pickled carrots and raddish. Fresh herbs and signature sauce. A simple, low-calorie dinner that combines all the delicious Vietnamese flavours and textures you are used to from our classic vermicelli dishes.
Another customer favorite (non vegans included),
Our Tofu Pad Thai is the talk of the town. No one makes tofu as crunchy and chunky cut as we do. And we promise you that we do not skimp out on the tofu in this dish at all! The crunchy tofu used in this dish replaces the traditional meats but even non-vegans constantly order this because it’s just that good! Our Pad Thai is the perfect addition to lunch or dinner, served with our special housemade tamarind sauce that's sweet, savory and comes packed with spice from our secret recipe ingredients. Our Pad Thai is also super saucy and not as dry as traditionally Pad Thai tends to be. This is the perfect starter dish for vegans who are still learning how to live without meat as this is an excellent protein replacement and extremely filling.
Stir-Fried Vegetables With Tofu And Steamed Rice
Here’s another lower calorie options. If you’re looking for something with large portions but not too high on the calorie count, try these stir-fried vegetables with tofu and steamed rice. It is a tasty mix of vegan ingredients that will be an absolute treat for your taste buds.
The rich, vibrant taste of the veggies mixed in with our signature sauce, paired with white rice makes this a flavorful meal for any time of day.
Rice Noodle Soup With Vegetables And Tofu
There may be no healthier comfort food than soup. Low-calorie, filling, and warm, with vegetables and tofu laced in this rice noodle soup dish, it's a great winter meal but works year-round and is an ideal addition to the dinner plan of any fitness fanatic looking to stay strong and lean.
This isn't the only vegan soup on the Toronto Pho menu, either, so don't be afraid to ask for additional options or alternatives if you have particular taste preferences.
Vegetarian Mango Salad With Tofu
A vegetarian mango salad with tofu is a somewhat unexpected salad choice for many Canadians, but it's a real treat. You get some spicy tofu in there with red peppers, carrots, and mango, all mixed together in one delicious Thai-inspired dish.
This is a great snack or lunch if you're looking to stay light on your feet. It's filling but not past the point of feeling like it's too much.
Vegetarian Salad Roll With Tofu
Toronto Pho also has a few vegan snacks done Toronto-style with this vegetarian salad roll with tofu and a vegetarian deep-fried spring roll. Both are healthy, low-calorie finger foods you can snack on or add on top of what you're already getting.
