Greens Vegetarian Restaurant on Dundas West

Breaking news, another veg restaurant in the Kensington area is finally open. I was sad to see Ken and his family move out from the old Full Moon location but very thrilled to see another veg place taking over.

I have been anticipating this for weeks - carefully observing the renovations going on. Due to the cleanse I had the # C1 - mixed veggies and D5 - rice noodles with mushrooms and veggies...simple but delish!

They have many choices on the menu - from the usual gluten, spring rolls, taro rolls, both veggie and mushroom dumplings, soups, noodles in soups....pad thai, and some szechuan dishes - kung pao "chicken" , fried rice dishes, brown rice and couple of intriguing dishes  - Shanghai Style Fried Rice Cakes and get this - "Monk Kidney in Black Bean Sauce" - I'm not sure if that's a typo or something lost in translation.  There is also a rice combo special with either : mixed vegetables, Szechuan bean curd or assorted gluten - and includes a spring roll hot and sour soup, rice and coffee or Hong Kong Style tea for $8.99!!

I don't believe they are strictly vegan as there are egg noodles listed on the menu and a tofu and egg dish - I guess you need to ask to be sure. Oh, and there is also Bubble Tea - hopefully this is made with soy milk...

All in all an exciting development - they are open Tuesday through Sunday 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. closed Mondays.
