Last updated 30 May 2026
Our take: Vegetarian Express Cafe offers a range of vegetarian dishes, with some standout options like the Butter Sauce Oyster Mushroom and the Fresh Vegetables Bibimbap.
We note positive comments on the taste of items like the Herbal Kuey Teow Soup and the Hawaiian Wholemeal Burger.
However, there are consistent concerns regarding portion sizes relative to pricing, with one reviewer highlighting an underfilled takeaway rice container and a $0.50 premium for brown rice, on top of a $0.40 takeaway fee.
Transaction fees for NETS or credit card payments are also a point of contention.
Service quality appears inconsistent, with one customer reporting a particularly negative interaction with a staff member.
While some dishes are praised for their taste, the overall value proposition and service experience seem to vary.
We'd recommend focusing on specific, well-reviewed dishes like the Butter Sauce Oyster Mushroom, but be prepared for potentially higher prices and variable service.

Some customers also noted issues like excessive thirst after certain dishes and loud music.
