A variety of dishes proving that a healthy vegan/vegetarian menu can be appetising and interesting.
Precious to have this place in CBD.

Wonderful food and such kind staff, they brought my partner a complimentary dessert and sang Happy Birthday, it was unexpected and so sweet, thank you!

Ordered from Gon De Lin on Doordash, after having eaten there in the city a few times. Food turned up and was made with real meat and egg.

After doing some investigation I found that the address the order came from was a local non-vegetarian restaurant. I called them and they confirmed that they process orders for Gon De Lin in my area, and that they mistakenly sent me meat dishes.

Very disappointing, won't be giving them my business again. Shouldn't happen when you are ordering from a restaurant that bills itself as vegan/vegetarian only.

Spent $60 and was disappointed. $14 for half a container of rice. The curry was gloopy and the tofu tasteless. Really wanted to like this place but will be steering clear.

Today my fiancé and I after picking up my engagement ring had a beautiful vegan lunch at Gong De Lin. We ordered spring rolls, rice, a roasted cauliflower dish, a spicy saucy tofu dish with coriander, sweet and sour pork and it was all absolutely delicious. We also had the ice cream and sweet dessert which were both oh soo good! We enjoyed our drinks too, a beer and moscato wine. As we arrived for an early lunch the restaurant was quiet and peaceful. I enjoyed hearing the soft music playing in the background and appreciated the helpful service from the young man that took care of us from start to finish. We also had a beautiful window seat overlooking the city skyline which was really lovely. A great experience and would love to visit again ️

One of my favourite vegan places. Great for a group and I love that it's kind of hidden upstairs.

I love the food here. If you think vegan food won't be good or filling enough, think again and go here. I was amazed. Delicious food, quick service, decent interior but I think they could do with a better space than the current venue.
The sweet and sour pork (vegan) and crispy vegetarian goose pancake were my favorites.

Hot and Fresh. So many vegetarian options. I am returning 5th time:). Sizzling Schezwan Chicken is must try.

Happened to see this place when going to the tea place next door. Had the sweet and sour vegetarian pork, was awesome. The hedgehog mushrooms was also good. Can't wait to go back and try something else

Fantastic vegan food but OMG I don't think they have clean the toilets in at least a year! (Level 1)

It was surprisingly good. The salt and pepper mushrooms were up there with any salt and pepper squid I've ever had. Would highly recommend.

A hidden gem!
Everything on the menu is 100% vegan and totally delicious.
(Not that I’ve tried everything.)
Very affordable and lovely staff. Perfect for looking for a inner city escape!

This is our go-to place in City! Whilst most restaurants in City are fully packed, loud, with very little privacy for conversations, this is a little tucked away oasis! It's open for both lunch and dinner, and usually not too full. Music is quiet and it's a nice place for nice conversations over dinner. Food is absolutely amazing! They are cooked in traditional Chinese style, full of flavours! Prices are also quite reasonable. Highly recommended!

Lovely! A hidden gem via elevator! I lovveeeee the hot and sour soup! The szechuan is legit! It's real because it gives that slightly numbing sensation in your mouth.

Great vegan restaurant, dishes are really good and with soy meat (vegetarian) so you can't even tell the difference. Dishes are a bit on pricey side but quality and taste is good. This restaurant is on 3rd floor, so have to take the lift right next to noodle kingdom. Wait times are normally few minutes (very short) but always good to call ahead and book. Staff is very good as well and service is fast and efficient. Not too loud and pleasant atmosphere. Will go again!

I love Gong De Lin! Always so packed and lively and for good reason.

They have a WIDE selection of vegan Asian cuisine. Whether you are after some fried mushrooms/tofu, some marinated eggplant, noodles, mock meat, soups or veg, there is something for everyone.  

It always smells amazing inside and tastes just as good. Definitely recommend to vegans and meat eaters alike!
