Veggie chicken, ham, fish. The list is never ending. Quick service, too. The food is delicious, so is the price. The decor in this resto may say bland, but the food most defiantly does not. Everything i have had on the menu has been overwhelmingly satisfying. I am a big fan of the rice paper rolls, they come with a peanut sauce that is delectable. Their pad thai is amazing too. I've never been accompanied to the restaurant with someone eating off the non veg menu, but there is quite a selection.
This place is a gem hidden within the university plaza -

Vegetarian Fastfood Restaurant's name is a misnomer as there are many meat dishes on the menu, as well the expected vegetarian fare. The food seems to have mostly a Thai/Asian theme, but to be honest I didn't go over the menu too carefully. I was here with a vegetarian friend who counts this among her favourite restaurants in KW, so I was ready to be impressed.
I'm not a vegetarian, but when in Rome... they have an unbelievable (to me) number of vegetarian "meats". As another review pointed out they have vegetarian ham, chicken, fish, and more. I had the vegetarian Pad Thai and my companion had the vegetarian ham, which is a slice of heaven for her. My Pad Thai was quite good, I honestly didn't miss the meat... OK maybe the shrimp a little. I managed to sneak a piece of ham off my friend's plate, and I was really impressed; tasted just like ham.
The restaurant itself was not very impressive. The interior is very basic, and a bit shabby. The table we sat at looked clean, but was sticky. The utensils were dirty too, and I had to get another set brought to our table. Just because a restaurant is located in a student neighbourhood doesn't mean it can't be clean. I'd recommend take out, unless you're killing time in the area. -

I came here twice. Both times I had their lunch combos. Both times were really mediocre, but still the cheapest option on the plaza. I would recommend getting take out since they serve a little more food that way. However, I have yet to try their pad thai. I suppose their regular dishes are tastier.

I love this place. Great for eating in or taking out. Lunch is a great price and a good variety, but empties out fast.
What keeps me coming back? Best pad thai I've ever had, hands down. They'll spice it up or down depending on your tolerance. I've only ever gone up to three scoops, but have known other to push to six. -

The pad thai here was once a staple of mine, getting it at least a couple times a month. Now that I live in Seattle it's a must-go on every trip to the area.
The have a great lunch buffet for combos during weekdays for $5-6, but the prices are always pretty good.
The decor is plain but you don't go here for ambiance, you go for the 200 options on the menu, the awesome fake meats and the great price. -

I say to those who doubt that Vegetarian food can be tasty! Try the Vegetarian Fastfood Restaurant if you don't like it, well you ordered the wrong meal.
The Pad Thai is superb! -

Colloquially, this place is referred to as "Sketch Veg".
I've visited about twice and was completely confused both times. The food seems to be missing _something_: a spice, love, freshness - I'm not sure what it is but I know that the plaza is in dire need of a flavourful vegetarian spot. -

Having both eaten in this restaurant and ordered takeout from it, I have to say that I am so far impressed with the quality of food and service.
This restaurant doesn't serve only vegetarian food - some dishes come with meat in them, and some can have it added. I personally found that my food was fresh and well prepared.
The service was also very friendly and the prices were reasonable for the amount of food that you get. If you order your food by phone, you won't have to wait long to pick it up. It can be ready in as little as 10 to 15 minutes
