YES !! i couldnt believe it when i found out there is a Chinese Vegetarian Buffet here !!
The new address is 6611 Buswell St in Richmond a few blocks from its old place ( i never knew it so i dont know how that place was)
The first time i went there to find its Cash only (not unexpected in richmond) good for us Its almost right behind Richmiond centre , so ATMs are nearby.
Lunch buffet costs 10.99 while Dinner costs 12.99
Its non-pretentious, simple nothing fancy interior. You come in find a place, put your jacket on the chair and head to the buffet table.
Now comes the Good things.... the food is mind blowing. ITs vegetarian, its healthy. not oily or spicy, its just the right amount of everything. There are alot of choices from steam buns (momos) to soup to fake fish fillet to honey teriyaki wings to fake chicken nuggets to vermicelli noodles to fried rice.
Each and everything I tasted i loved it (except the bitter gourd hehe)
and to top it off there is free dessert included also. Red bean soup was fresh and tasty and not to forget the ICE CREAM.
If you're Vegan i guess you would have to skip that part. But its included and is ALL YOU CAN EAT.
The owner is a quiet guy who makes sure all the dishes are full and they cook stuff in small quantities keep them fresh.
really loved it and we will be there at every oppurtunity available, -

My buffet binging companion and I hit up Veggie Bunch for some all-you-can-eat action on our way to the airport...because nothing says "goodbye, Vancouver" more than eating massive quantities of food at a hole-in-the-wall Chinese spot. The ambiance was definitely nothing to write home about, and service is fairly non-existent if you don't know how to "nee hao". That's not to say that it was rude, just that it was very quiet and unassuming. You walk in, pick a table, drop off your things, are served up tea, then go hit the buffet to gather your own food and utensils.
We arrived about an hour or so before they closed their lunch buffet, and there were only a couple of other patrons in the restaurant, so the pickings were very slim. Offsetting this disappointment, I had that moment of excitement at the buffet where I narrowed my eyes and poked at a suspiciously meaty looking item, only to remember that everything was vegetarian! Yippee! For some items, there was only one piece left, or a very small portion. Regardless, we scavenged what we could and made our way back to our table to eat.
With Chinese food, I feel like likes and dislikes are so subjective that it wouldn't be very helpful for me to list what I liked and disliked. Suffice it to say, there were certain menu items I liked better than others. I also found the food to be slightly heavy and oily, albeit not as heavy and oily as other Chinese places can be. It also wasn't as spicy as I would have liked! Selection was refreshed as we worked our way through our first plates, which was nice, although tea was never refilled. It's nice to have the option of going to a vegetarian Chinese buffet, but I don't think that I'll be running back anytime soon...at least until the craving for Chinese food hits again.
Lunch buffet still stands at $10.99, and dinner is still $12.99. Cash only.Listed in: Noontime Nomming, Vancouver Vegetarian, Cheap and Cheerful

A vegetarian all you can eat?! You don't say! Walked into Veggie Bunch at 6pm and it was bare. Was promptly greeted by the owner and served us tea. He courteously invited us to go ahead to the buffet.
One look and I was amazed, I thought I went to a dinner spread in Nirvana! They didn't have too many dishes put out because there weren't any customers, but once we were there, the chef got up and prepared fresh dishes for us.
Everything from panfried daikon cake to "fish" cake veggie stir-fry to beef ball soup. The RICE!!! You have to have the fried rice. All I can see in it is green peas and speckles of seaweed, but the flavour is so wonderful. There's something else in it, but we couldn't figure it out.
It was nice to see that they do get busy but closer to 7pm.
Hopefully it was just that night, but the food was really really oily. Will go again and hope its just a one off. Otherwise, definitely worth 4 stars. -

I'm not a vegetarian, but if I was, I'd eat here religiously. Veggie Bunch does vegetarian food that appeals to the meat eater. Instead of using tofu, lentils, chick peas, etc. as their protein base, this Taiwanese restaurant uses soy-based meat replacements that come pretty darned close to the real thing. I've introduced this place to a few "anti-vegetarians" including my father who doesn't believe it's a meal unless it's got meat in it, with positive reviews all around.
I personally like the unpretentious atmosphere of Veggie Bunch, though some may find it a tad stark. It is clean and white with a few Buddhist paraphernalia for decor. Almost every time I go, I see the shaved heads and robes of some of the Buddhist monks who frequent the place and none of the pretentious wankiness that I have come to expect from Kits-y vegetarian restaurants like the Naam. Because of its simplicity, it comes with a very affordable price, around $10 plus tax & tip.
Their food is all-you-can-eat, so when you arrive, park yourself at a table, grab a plate and serve yourself. You'll get everything from soups & appetizers to desserts, though you might want to stay away from the ice cream if you're vegan. -

I'm actually giving 3.5 stars here. I have only ever been here for lunch, which is $9.95 all-you-can-eat buffet (the dinner buffet is $10.95). I normally don't enjoy buffets, but this one is good and I don't feel the common "ughh" afterward. Do I just have more restraint here or does the all-veg menu just sit better? And the people who work here just seem so kind.
Last time I went the turnip cakes were yummy, freshly made, and new batches were brought out often. The sweet and sour tofu was great, and I really enjoyed the glass noodle dish. Even the sesame balls weren't too oily. The only thing is - I suggest to skip the ice cream that they offer for dessert...just not worth it.
By the way, they usually have fliers at the till about tempting meditation retreats. 30 days without speaking? Maybe I should start with 1.
