The Buddhist Vegetarian Kitchen

What is The Buddhist Vegetarian Kitchen? The Buddhist Vegetarian Kitchen (佛海齋廚) is a long-standing traditional Chinese vegetarian and vegan kitchen located at 3290 Midland Avenue, Unit 9, inside Scarboro Village Mall in Scarborough. Operating for decades near Midland and Finch, it is revered by the Buddhist community and plant-based diners for its vast repertoire of authentic Cantonese vegetarian dishes, handcrafted wheat-gluten delicacies, and generous lunch combos.

The Buddhist Vegetarian Kitchen Menu & What to Order The kitchen specializes in plant-based adaptations of classic Chinese banqueting dishes. The Sweet and Sour Vegetarian Pork—crafted from wheat gluten and crisp bell peppers tossed in tangy pineapple sauce—is a signature staple. Diners also seek out the Braised Stuffed Bean Curd Skin Rolls filled with wood-ear mushrooms, crispy Vegetarian Roast Duck with sweet plum sauce, vegetarian dim sum platters, and stir-fried soy sauce chow mein noodles. Steaming bowls of hot and sour tofu soup warm diners through cold months.
