Premium to luxury vegetarian Chinese food that tastes delicious. Ask the waiters for recommendations and keep an open mind about the flavours.
Price range is $20-$35 per dish which is worth it. Great place for a treat or special celebrations.
Limited parking around. Walking distance (55m) from the nearest MRT.

Recommended by my vegetarian friend. Nice ambient vegetarian restaurant and definitely come with a slightly high price tag. But The food are special and delicious and good service too. Definitely recommended.

Quite cool to have local flavours with vegan food. Tried teriyaki mushroom, fried beancurd (with great filling) and salt and pepper eggplant. Portion is large too. Was not able to finish 3 dishes with two of us.

Believe it or not, the XO fried rice was the best!
Overall the food was pretty decent.
Assam curry was off....
HK Noodles was way too salty...

If you are vegan, make sure u ask them. Some dishes are with eggs and diary. We ordered the yam ring as we are a fan! Really tasty and fresh! Size is also just nice for 2. The crispy golden oats is fried to perfection and the oats fried to perfection with curry leaves and chilli padi. Best with white rice! We also tried the crispy mango tamarind tofu roll. So lovely with the Thai tamarind sauce! We ended up ordering 2 portions! The meesua is fried to perfection! We also had a mala dish but can't remember the name. All the dishes we have ordered were all pleasing to our pallets! You know where to go for your next vegatarian meet up!

Feeling peckish for Vegetarian food, decided to visit Whole Earth at Peck Seah Street to see if they were any good, given that they were awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand Singapore Award 2021.
From the onset, the ambiance, service and layout of the restaurant plus the food layout at other tables looked really good. Alas, there was where the good stuff ended and the nightmare of a meal came about.
The Olive Brown Rice had little to no flavour to it. The Sweet and Sour Delight had such a tough dough that someone could have lost some teeth. The Enchanted Forrest, with its Monkeyhead Mushrooms, had a weird texture to it that to a first time eater of this type of mushroom definitely did not feel like a Mushroom but more of a scaly-powdery substance. The 2 types of Soup ordered tasted bland.
Having had vegetarian food at other places, perhaps such new style vegetarian restaurant is not for everyone, definitely not this party of 4 at least.
General Verdict: Poor and weird quality vegetarian food that may not be suitable for all
Opening Hours: Daily 11:30am-3pm and 5:30pm-10pm
Queue Situation: Weirdly, given the dining experience, this place is always full so a reservation is required if one wishes to partake in a meal here
Price: SG$50++ per person
Payment Mode: Cash and all Major Credit Cards (Physical and Paywave)

There is a reason that this is a Michelin Starred restaurant even if it is a vegetarian restaurant. We ordered the olive fried rice, monkey head mushroom, oat tofu. The seasoning were impeccably right. While the food gives you a burst of flavour for every bites taken, it does not weight down on your taste buds. The great flavour lingers shortly in your mouth while gently fades away.
This place will convince non vegetarian that vegetarian foods are very good as well.

Our 1st time here to try out the vegetarian food. A bit pricey though.
The food quality is not bad. Good to visit and ask them for recommendations

Food was delicious, but that is a given considering how pricey everything was. Went there for the for the first time and went straight for a set meal for 8pax. Main issue was with the charge for water. Dude, you charge more than $50/pax for a set meal, I'm pretty sure you can afford not to earn 50 cents per person for serving water.

Meat dominates almost all my meals. The food I had at Whole Earth was delicious enough that I did not find myself missing meat at all. Mushrooms were juicy, greens were crunchy, sauces were flavourful and the rice was fragrant. Service staff were generally polite and helpful.
My main gripe (like that of many other reviewers) is the price. Actually, the portion is arguably reasonable for what you're paying but most of the dishes only come in a single standard size. If you're eating alone or with one other person, you may find yourself having to compromise on variety if you don't want to waste food and money. It'd be perfect if they have smaller portions at a lower price for small parties to enjoy their food without feeling the pinch.

Amongst the favourite restaurants around for my family. Delicious, wholesome food that always astounds me can faithfully fulfill Buddhist dietary restrictions and still boast such exquisite flavours. As many have said, it is a little pricey - and we miss the membership discount that was offered before the renovations! Hint-Hint! 😄
Alvin Koh
The food tastes amazing! The sweet and sour delight, enchanted forest, rendang and olive oil rice are my favorites. Price is on the high side, but the quality of the food makes up for it. Only problems were the olive oil rice, which we ordered the big plate at $15, was quite little and water costs $0.50. As a personal rule, I don't visit restaurants that don't give free water a second time. Too bad.
Tom Moester
Delicious tasty food; vegetarian variations on classic Asian dishes, but done better!
Leelian Tan
Brought my overseas friends here for their first dinner in Singapore and we had a good time. The servers are very helpful on making recommendations when we are unsure what to have. Most importantly, the food tastes good! I seldom go for vegetarian food because I was bound by stereotype, but this place totally changed my view! Kudos!
Vis F Bacalian
The food is very flavourful and my friends who eat meat loved it too. Good for special occasions but not for everyday because it's kinda pricey (but it's worth it!).
Chng Hoon Hoon
Overpriced and food is above average. The soup, very simple with a piece of white fungus, 2 red dates and mushrooms I think cost $15. The money head mushrooms with broccoli was dry. The braised toufu was nice .
Hoh Weng Fai
one of the best vegetarian food i had, but price on the high side. highly recommended vegetarian restaurant.
Karen Lee
the food there is nice, it made u feel like going back for it again but 1 thing is the $price$ is a bit too costly..
Ian Johnston
I love this place and so does everyone I have ever been with. Prices are good when compared with other places where the food is not up to this standard.
Wish they were open already!!
Li Kuo Yen Rosa
The food is presentable. Serving is fast. Overall the food simple and nice.
Raymond Lam
The food is awesome! We had the sambal petai absolutely wonderful! Will be back again!

U hv good vegetarian food and it s not first time for us here. However, yesterday was and would be the last visit. The entire service team sucks. From the Filipino cashier, the Chinese waitress to the female who acknowledged herself as the store manager. Especially the Filipino cashier, the ever rude person we come across so far. As for the store manager, we dont know why she is there bcos she is just useless, cant handle both her staff and customers even we personally feedback to her. She just simply replied she doesnt know what s happening, so why is she there for? She doesnt know what s going on on the floor even her Filipino staff talked so loud and all customers presented there looking at our group. Just remember, you are good but there will be someone better than you and you are serving food to vegetarians!
Jessica Lai
Too expensive, than a restaurant in a mall yet when try the food really not worth...
Jasen Kang
