Vegan Buffet is a speciality vegan restaurant serving healthy meals to eat in or takeaway. Having moved over from Taiwan in 1998, Shine Liang and Joe Hsueh took over what was formerly Chinese Healthy Vegetarian Food in 2007, turning it into a strictly vegan restaurant. Due to its huge success, they have since opened a sister branch in Te Rapa.

Passionate about healthy eating, they use only the freshest, natural ingredients in their their pay-by-weight Asian inspired buffet meals which include pumpkin steak, soya bean rolls, rice dumplings and some delicious vegan cheesecakes.

These guys go one step further and serve up only vegan dishes for those who prefer to go that extra mile when it comes to avoiding meat products. Their rice dumplings and soya bean rolls are the absolute bomb - i could actually eat a whole plate of those and keep wanting more. Hamilton has done well to secure Vegan Buffet as its host.

Hamilton’s Vegan Buffet is such an awesome find! The food is super tasty - and the added bonus of course is that it’s healthy too. The pricing model is good too - as I get to pay by weight, and not being a big eater, it turns out to be pretty cost effective. I know when I’m eating there that I’m getting fresh food - yummy fresh veggies, and some divine stir-fry sauces.

Now, to be clear, I am by no means a vegan. But, that doesn't mean I'm not into vegan food. I first heard about Vegan Buffet in Hamilton Central through some uni mates of mine (who are vegan FYI). Vegan coconut curry wins hands down wen it comes to the vegan food I have adventurously tried out. So yum, and creamy and so much coconut flavour. Vegan Buffet has created such a cool niche for themselves - inexpensive, good, home cook style food and great service.

A really awesome pay per weight restaurant right in central Hamilton. Delicious Asian style vegan food, light for a summer snack or lunch. The restaurant itself is very basic, quite small with limited tables, although I’ve always managed to find a seat. The atmosphere is really laid-back and the staff are lovely. Great value, quick and convenient.

I love vegan food, and what’s more it’s usually quite healthy! Without any animal fats, most of the food is fresh and light. This is an Asian style buffet and you pay per weight, so you can get just the portion to suit how hungry you’re feeling (which is much better than feeling you have to stuff yourself to finish your plate, or feel hungry and snacking unhealthily later). A simple restaurant.
