Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 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.

What customers say

Vegetarian Express Cafe offers a variety of vegetarian dishes, with popular items including Butter Sauce Oyster Mushroom, Fresh Vegetables Bibimbap, Hawaiian Wholemeal Burger, and their unique fried yam cake.

While many customers praise the food's taste and the friendliness of some staff, recurring issues include disproportionately high pricing relative to portion sizes, additional transaction fees for card payments, and inconsistent staff service, with one specific instance of a staff member named "little sister" being cited for impatience and poor attitude.

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

Had lunch with my friend at Heartland Mall today. Found a nice vegetarian restaurant there. Food was tasty and service was fast.

The food pricing is disproportionately high relative to the portion size. This poor value is highlighted by the rice serving: the takeaway container ($0.40 fee) was noticeably underfilled, even after…
