Tian Ran Vegetarian Mermaid Beach

Went to this restaurant for dinner and it was absolutely amazing and flavoursome! Would highly recommend and love to visit again.

Let me be clear, this restaurant USED TO BE AMAZING! For many years I was a weekly regular and even featured it in a What Gold Coast Vegans Eat video on youtube, but sadly the quality has been much more miss than hit lately. It hurts to say that but it's true. The mock meats are very heavy on the gut and now quite bland. Even the saucy dishes aren't as good as they were before. Everything is very salty and oily. The steamed dim sims are just tasteless mush (they used to be amazing). They were a struggle to eat. My favourite dish of the night was the Roti with curry dip starter, however still very heavy on oil. The staff here have always been friendly and welcoming. The prices are okay, around the $10-$15 mark so it can be good for mid size groups. I preferred it when prices were lower a couple of years ago when prices sat around $10 per main. This place is generally a very casual restaurant, not really a place to impress. I think most new vegans would enjoy eating here because everything is vegan it's a cheap, casual starting point. After my most recent experience here I doubt I'll return. The reason is because there's just so many other great vegan options around these days and I don't think this place [with the quality of food it's serving] is worth eating anymore. I noticed that most of the kitchen staff are different now, younger, maybe that's the cause of the quality concerns I have. Fingers crossed for a 5 star comeback.

Everything I’ve had here has been excellent. Super lovely staff and delicious food, big portions!

Always hungry and leave more than satisfied. the owner is super beautiful. eating is nice and good price. this place has been running for over 20 years and the service and eating keep all back

Great eating, had the black bean cow with veg and fried rice. recommend def!
