Absolutely flawless experience eating in at this restaurant! We ordered a few entrees and mains and enjoyed them so much we even treated ourselves to desserts! We enjoyed our experience here so much that we even ordered takeaway to eat at the hotel the night after. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL SERVICE, incredible mock meats and super chill atmosphere. 5 stars all the way ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

A large variety menu from entrees to desserts. Great quality, great prices and fast friendly service. Many gluten free options. I particularly enjoyed the special brown rice to mix with my other meals.
Our first visit today and we look forward to returning.

Highly recommend - hardest part is choosing what to get! Friendly staff, affordable and yummy vegan food (we enjoyed the mapo tofu, ‘honey’ chicken, Thai salad, and sago dessert this time), and quick service even when busy. 👍

All time fave. Best service, warm atmosphere, beautiful humans!
Although quality has changed of late, still great value. My fave the wonton soup is still the bomb!

Supported one of my fav local businesses that’s close to our home in Mermaid Beach - Tian Ran Vegetarian restaurant tonight.
They’re a beautiful hard working family, always are so welcoming & provide the most… freshest delicious vegetarian | vegan cooked food. Much appreciated, thank you for my meal😌🙏🏼
Through lockdown tough times like these it’s important we get behind and support our local businesses 💛

I am actually a regular customer of Tian Ran, it was the first time I sat inside the restaurant though (usually get my order via Uber Eats). This dish, Braised Tofu and Shiitake Mushrooms, is my favourite! It's so flavoursome! The vegan chicken drumsticks are really good too, it was my first time trying them. Staff were really lovely too. Reasonably priced. Highly recommend 🤗😊

Not a vegan. Review is based on a meat lover. I wanted to try the vegan food. I order coconut rice and found it too sweet. This is likely to effect my judgement. Their fried chicken drumsticks was great. There crispy beef and vegetable was good. The rest were okay.

Visited Tian Ran last night for the first time. Was greeted by the lovely owner of this genuine family run business. We shared a few appetisers (wanton soup, steamed dumplings and satay skewers), a Nasi Goreng rice dish and some yummy desserts. Every dish was delightful and the service was fast and friendly. Hope to return soon!

Lovely restaurant with a family atmosphere. Lemon chicken used to be my jam before going plant-based. Their version was delightful and brought back many fond childhood memories. Food is simple but well done and very reasonably priced. Service was wonderful. Very much recommend.

Absolutely delicious food and excellent service. It was so hard to choose (so we ordered plenty!), and every dish was heavenly. Went with a few of the recommendations and they did not disappoint. We will definitely be back whenever we're on the coast to make our way through the menu. Feels great to know that whatever we choose is vegan too, and there's no risk of cross contamination. Photo is about half of what we ordered!
