sai plant deli by Vegan Pudding & Co.

Absolutely delicious! Tried four flavours of their Oyaki with a friend, so we got 8x in total. Super fresh and fried to order. It’s literally a hole in the wall so you either had to takeaway or stand around a barrel Japanese sake bar styles. But super worth a visit. Highly recommend for plant-based eaters or anyone who likes good food! Japanese really do it best 💪🏼

Delicious! We got combo B and two coconut puddings. We really enjoyed the stir-fry garlic greens and the eggplant miso oyaki and the earl grey coconut pudding. The sauce packets have enough sauce for several dumplings.

These oyaki are tremendous. I’ve tried most of the flavours now and liked them all, but the cheesy keema is a standout. I braved a 20 minute walk in the hail and snow yesterday to get two of them, which I then ate sheltered under an awning a couple of blocks up because I couldn’t wait until I got back to the office. My clothes were wet for the rest of the day but given the chance, I’d do it all over again.

Great food! Oyaki is a bit expensive but tastes great, the puddings are delicious and a great treat year round.

Tried 4 different flavours of oyaki and they were all so unique and delicious that it's impossible to choose a favourite! Surprisingly filling as well. Their vegan pudding is of course tasty also!

August 2025 - Had some of their newer oyaki (plant-based dumplings). Regular price is $5.50 each, 2 for $10, or 4 for $18. I ordered 4 different flavours - Sweet Pumpkin & Butter Bliss (strong pumpkin flavour, sweet, very creamy & a good sweet/savoury balance), Cheesy Vegan Keema (reminded me of a samosa filling, the tomato curry had a light spice), Stir-Fried Garlic Green (garlicky and salty, comforting and reminiscent of Asian dumpling filling), and Classic Eggplant Miso (earthy, light miso flavour). If I had to pick favourites, I'd return for the garlic green and eggplant miso, but they were all tasty. While not huge in size, 3 would make an adequate meal. While the premade dumplings are in the window, they fry it fresh so it's hot and crispy (small wait time). Also picked up one of my favourite vegan puddings, and it's still as delicious as ever - had the soy milk base Black Sesame this time, which is less sweet than the coconut milk base, but also excellent. Friendly service as always. May 2023 - Had walked past this counter previously but hadn't stopped by until I purchased a Plant Curious Plant-Based Deals Book this month. Their puddings and crème brûlée are delicious! I love that they have coconut milk options. I had the Earl Grey Tea Pudding and the earl grey flavour was potent. The coconut milk base has a sweetness and slight nuttiness to it, and the lemon caramel sauce was a good buttery, citrus accompaniment. The Matcha Green Tea Pudding was also tasty, and the Vanilla Crème Brûlée. The lady at the counter was so kind and friendly! Would highly recommend! I'd love to return for more puddings in the future. At $6 (coconut milk base), it's not the cheapest dessert, but you can taste the high quality! The soy milk puddings are $4.50 each.

I tried the Cheesy Vegan Keema and Spicy Potato & Pepper Oyaki. So good!!! You've got to try this. Oh and I used the deal by Plant Curious. Worth it!

Wow wow wow. I’m so happy I came across this place! Perfect little to-go counter with super friendly staff. I tried one of each of their new Oyakis and they were all so delicious! Each flavour is very distinct and you can tell they mastered their recipes. Very well balanced and delicious! It’s hard to pick a favourite because they are all so different, in terms of taste but also texture, which makes for a really enjoyable experience ☺️ I just left and I’m already thinking of going back!

The name tells you everything you need to know -- it's a 100% vegan pudding shop. The shop a little storefront window, there is nowhere to sit, but you can always take your pudding over the the nearby park. They offer a bunch of creative flavors. I got a sundae which involved their pudding, a scoop of ice cream, and whipped cream. It was tasty! I was expected it to be a little creamier but that can happen with vegan desserts.

After walking the loop in Stanley park we wanted to sit and have a snack. We took the bus to this location after getting excited about vegan pudding and vegan creme brûlée. To our disappointment this was just a window where you order your pudding and go. There is no cafe or seating at all. The pudding were in plastic cups half full and the sauce was in plastic pouches....not fresh. The creme brûlée was also very small but had the torched crunchy sugar on top. The flavour of both was mediocre at best. Not sure if this was a Covid solution of service but it could be significantly better if the items were fresh. Quick easy snack if you are in the area but don't make a special trip.

While walking around downtown, my mom and I were craving a small sweet afternoon pick-me-up (as one usually does) and Vegan Pudding fit the bill! We actually walked right by it the first time because of how subtle its window is! It is just a window with a small menu - no sitting or walk-in shop. As someone who is dairy-sensitive, I'm always appreciative of the dairy-free dessert spots. They offer an interesting array of puddings and will add vegan whipped cream for free by request. I got the Earl Grey Tea pudding and it was really delicious. My only qualm with this spot is that the portions are crazy small. You'll be done in just a few spoonfuls. I think it'd be great if they could offer a larger size. They sell them at various local shops too.

It's the #Vibe. Very friendly & quick service. We got the crème brûlée w/ coconut whip cream and it was superb. Didn't taste like normal crème brûlée but was still very good. Everything here is vegan and gluten free, hard to find this with amazing quality. Highly recommend if you want a quick sweet treat.

This place caught my eye as I was stopping by to pick up something from Ca Phe. I got the black sesame pudding with black sesame sauce and it was the perfect balance of flavors. Will definitely be back to try some of their other flavors!

The pudding texture was surprisingly sublime without using egg and cream. With my Asian blood, my favourites are definitely the sesame and hojicha flavours.

Decent vegan pudding. I think I wasn't too big of a fan of the earl gray and liked the creme brûlée much better. All the desserts that we got (3 in total) were really really sweet. I liked the coconut flavor but it was a little too sweet for my palate. But I am glad that they had so many vegan options for a delicious treat such as pudding.

The owner was really nice and cheerful. We got a soy pudding and a coconut one. They weren't bad they were just very heavy, which perhaps is the point. So rich you couldn't finish and not very sweet. Interesting flavors. Unsure if I would go back.

I heard about this place via Yelp and I made it my mission to try it. Being that there is no Uber in Vancouver, I made the long walk to find this place. I walked past it because I didn't realize it was just a stand. Honestly, all I needs to be is stand. I was promptly greeted and given the opportunity to try many flavors. There are soy and soy free options. I settled with the matcha tea. Since I was walking back to the hotel, I was given an ice pack which is nice. Overall, the pudding was flavorful and unique. I was I had bought some additional flavors, but oh well. I'm happy I gave it a try. I'm hoping something like this opens by me soon!

If I was vegan I'd be giving this place a 5 for sure but because I'm not, I still prefer the more unhealthy non-vegan version of a pudding :-P I had the earl grey pudding and chocolate pudding, both with the coconut whipped cream. The whipped cream was legit and super tasty. I was impressed. Really curious about the creme brûlée. Also stoked to show this place to all my vegan friends.

Another one of those hidden gems where you probably would miss it if you weren't actively looking for it. It is pretty much a stand. I tried the matcha pudding with coconut whipped cream. It was so delicious and creamy. Loved the texture. The only reason why I gave this four stars was because i had wanted to get some the other day (yesterday) but no one was present to take my order. I noticed there were other customers wanting to order too. We waited 10 or so minutes but to no avail. Anyway, I am glad I came back and gave it a chance. The food and service is good (when someone is actually there to take your order). ;) Will definitely be coming back!

Amazing pudding! Truly one of a kind. Never had something that was so delicious and vegan! Earl grey is my fav flavour. Customer service is great and it feels good to support local.

Really inventive and enjoyable take on pudding. I just wish their creme brûlée was a larger size for the price.

Cute little gem that offers vegan and several gluten free desserts! I tried the small ($4.00) earl grey pudding. It's a perfect size and very flavourful. The texture was not my fave (I prefer Amai Vegan Treats) but I enjoyed the option! The server was really happy and sweet! She was very passionate about the products and helped me settle on a flavour! Nicely done!

A little window in downtown is where I was taken to as someone thought it would be a good idea to have a treat before an upcoming bad movie, so being a little lost as to where this location is, we eventually found it nicely tucked into a building, no walking space.. this is a window.. that is all it is with two friendly Japanese, and a display case showing 3 flavours! Hard choices, so much to choose... oh.. hmmm what should we have, well on this day all that was there was a double chocolate (nope...), Earl Grey with lemon sauce (maybe...) and Matcha with black sesame sauce (maybe as well.... ), decisions, decisions... we eventually went with the green, I think it's the Asian in us that went to that default, and the pleasant gentleman (which was probably the owner) took it out of the display case and helped us by opening it up, and instead of just opening the sauce, he went for the tube that fills the little sauce portions up, and poured it for us, to limit waste (kudos to you!). The size of these little morsels of sweeteness are about the size of a JELL-O pudding cup (now don't go thinking of Bill Cosby's sweet voice now) these will not haunt you too much, but they may torment you on coming back like the ghost of Christmas past. What was my experience, while practically standing in the cold in front of a filming crew wanting to know what it tasted like.... it was surprisingly smooth, and I had to wonder if I was lucky with the first bite as usually something that is sweet, you would get some sugar type residue, if not some crystalization, but my tongue was pressing along the walls of my mouth, and nothing but pure bliss, disappearing like air after having each little bite. I really wasn't expecting this, no lingering heavy over-sweet effects, just a light treat where I was thinking... maybe I should have another, yet why mess with diminishing returns... and just remember, how odd as this may sound, they are gluten free, and organic... somehow you can hashtag each of these words and the flock of people who are going healthy should be shacked up right in front of here. Whatever sweets they are using... it must be laced with something that resembles a drug, cause I have to say this is good... so now when to have the next flavours?? There's a board that says buy 4 get 1 free.. bring your friends and stand along the curb with your pudding in hand, cause maybe if you don't leave far enough you may order another. I thought they were pounding their own chest when I saw the sandwich board say "Truly Incredible Pudding"... I'm willing to vouch for that!

Found out about this vegan pudding place from a vlog and added it to my list for when/if I ever made it to Vancouver. I walked a bit out of my way to check this place out. The pudding was much better than expected, the chocolate flavor is the one you want to get if you're worried about texture etc. The small was a perfect and rich dessert - it looks small until you start eating it and realizing how dense it is. I went walking by the water a few blocks away while enjoying the pudding, which is my top recommendation if you're visiting from out of town like me. The pudding was a bit expensive for the size but really well made and delicious!

Delicious pudding! Sweet owner! Vegan vegan vegan! What else do you need to know? Ok, it is a tiny window walk up place, so you cannot sit down, but you can eat and walk or you can buy the powders to make pudding at home.

As a somewhat recent convert to the dairy free, gluten free, refined sugar free lifestyle (funny how the declining frequency of my Yelp reviews has coincided with this lifestyle change), I find it hard to find treats that I can eat. I was skeptical, but Vegan Pudding Company has won me over - so much so that I find myself looking for excuses to meet people downtown so I can stop by and have a treat here! The pudding is made from kombucha squash and coconut milk, so most of the flavours (with the exception of the strawberry) have a sort of dark yellowy colour to them that some will find off-putting. It's also white-sugar free. There are a variety of base flavours, from earl grey and chocolate to vanilla, matcha and black sesame. The pudding itself is almost custard like, smooth, and a teeny bit gelatinous. If you order a medium-and-up, the puddings come with paired sauces. This is a mistake I made the first time: I ordered a small coffee pudding, assuming it came with the double-chocolate sauce - it didn't. While the pudding was OK on its own, the sauce makes it reaalllly decadent, so order up: get the medium! My favourite flavour combinations so far are the coffee with double chocolate sauce and the early grey with a lemon-caramel sauce. So, so, yummy. This place is just a little hole in the wall that you can walk up to on Richards Street. I was delighted to find out that you can also buy their products at Greens in Kits, and also at Pomme, in the West End, so not to worry if you can't get to their stand, or if you want to stock up to have some treats on hand at home. A nice environmental note: the containers the puddings come in are fully compostable. So really, what's to feel guilty about?! Healthy (ish), OK for the environment (ish)...yup, I'm a fan.

An entire establishment committed to making the best vegan pudding!!! Right next door to indigo cafe, this little gem has a variety of flavors, we tried the black sesame and matcha. Don't forget to add the coconut whip cream, this little dessert is indulgent and creamy without using dairy (hooray)! It's a pick up counter and there are rotating flavors daily. I wish I ordered all of the flavors, they even have pint vegan ice creams available. Everyone needs to try this now, it is absolutely worth the trip!

Grabbed a vanilla pudding on my way to the skytrain. It was good. A bit on the sweet side but the coconut whipped cream balanced it out. A little pricey but nice treat for vegans! I love how there are more options for dairy free desserts in downtown Vancouver! It's tricky when you have a dairy allergy in most restaurants to find a good dessert that isn't juice a piece of fruit.

Pretty darned tasty and good quality, but wow, the portion is insultingly small for the price. We think our server actually had a guilty look on her face. It was worth trying once,... or more if you are rich. Interesting flavours and I do like the little window i a rather unique location. I wonder how long they will last though.

Such a cute little window shop! Never expected the little pudding cups to be such flavour bombs. Highly recommend trying their desserts

I'm so happy I found their products at Whole Foods. I tried the matcha and black sesame pudding and it was perfectly balanced, subtly sweet and quite creamy! It's what I expected from a vegan pudding!

I'm a sucker for anything that is vegan but the pudding i got was not good. I like coconut and matcha but there was something weird about the flavor. Really tiny cup of weird tasting stuff for 5 bucks.

This store is amazing. Very friendly people and great products that are Vegan! They also deliver for free if you order atleast $10. So recommend them!

I'm not a huge sweets person, but I love their mango soy pudding!! Perfect any time of day pick me up!

I went with the creme brulee with whipped topping and it was divine. I wish I could handle more than a cup because all the flavors sounded so freaking good. Service is fast and the price is perfect for me. Not really much to say here, it's a perfect level of sweet with great consistency.

I'm really sad because I really wanted to like this. Whenever I see anything that's vegan I'm intrigued and I always want to try it, especially when it comes to dessert, and this was no exception. I got the chocolate flavour, which may have been a mistake because it tasted quite strange. There wasn't any chocolate flavour to it at all, and the texture was kind of off. I'm usually a fan of pudding, but maybe trying a vegan chocolate pudding when I've never even had chocolate pudding before was a case of bad judgement on my behalf. Being vegan, it's expected that it's going to be pricier, but for me it wasn't worth it, as I didn't enjoy the pudding. To each their own though !

Upgraded to 5 stars. Today I tried black sesame pudding and it was very good. I don't like 90% of the desserts in North America, but this is perfect for my Japanese standards. Love! Thanks to the owner for recommending me the matcha and black sesame as a less sweet option- it is perfect, please don't change it.

Well... it was... ok. Not the best vegan Pudding I've ever had but it was ok. Not feeling how you pay $5 and you don't even get a full cup of pudding, they might wanna fix that. But hey if it works for them, then good for them.

I can't eat dairy, so was pretty happy to discover this yummy pudding at the Make It Show (PNE). I loved the creme brûlée but wasn't crazy about the matcha flavour. I came by here today and tried some other flavours-they give free samples! My family decided the chocolate with double chocolate sauce was the best. I also liked the sesame. It's not cheap, but the people are lovely and the ingredients high quality and organic, so its totally worth it. We bought a few so got a 5 for the price of 4 deal.

I went back two days in a row!! I love this place and highlight recommend. They had various flavors and all homemade on the spot. Don't forget to ask for the coconut whip cream. Yummy.

We haven't made it into the shop just yet but discovered them Donald's Market on Commercial. We tried the chocolate w chocolate sauce and the vanilla w caramel sauce. The chocolate was ok but the vanilla was really delicious with a lovely texture - I'll be keeping them in mind next time I'm hormonal and need a bit of sweet. *Bonus points for the biodegradable cups!

Amazing ! Amazing ! Amazing ! This is so far the best vegan dessert I've tried in my life ! So good that I will come back over and over. Creamy Smooth Flavourful and delicious ! also they are selling at wholefoods now witch it's a really good sign!

Neat little hole in the wall, literally! Sidewalk window service. No service or seating indoors as it's about 50 sq ft in total. We enjoyed it so much we went back for another an hour later. Delicious treat!

We found this place when we visited Vancouver from Los Angeles a few years ago and now that we're going back, I looked it up because we want to visit it again. Everything about it is special!

Wait?!? What? Vegan pudding? YES! Y E S! YES! Go for the combo- chocolate pudding topped with rum raisin ice cream! I did and I'm going back tomorrow for more!

Vegan Pudding is a cute little shop to get cute little cups of pudding. You just walk right up and order at the window. I had the original vanilla caramel and my husband had the chocolate. There is no place to sit and eat, but that was okay.

OMG! I was skeptical, but I had to get dessert for people with differing diet restrictions. It was a difficult needle to thread, but Vegan Pudding knocked it out of the park! Everyone loved the crème brulée! Highly recommended.

Switched it up from the usual afternoon donut from Cartem Donut to this little vegan pudding joint. I was excited to try something different. I got the earl grey pudding with lemon caramel sauce in medium. (The small size doesn't come with sauce) the pudding itself wasn't bad. I didn't really like the lemony taste in the lemon caramel sauce too much. And when I was 3/4 into it, the colour of the pudding actually reminded me of something that's not food..... So it wasn't that appetizing. Im interested to try the other flavours though.

I tried the chocolate with chocolate sauce and it was different but good. Price was $4.75 with sauce. Love that it's made with organic kabocha squash. The owner/chef was pleasant. If in the neighborhood again I would probably stop by and get another.

I know this is a pudding place, but their squash crackers are the best of their kind: dehydrated, vegan and gluten-free. They have a multitude of seeds and a refreshingly unusual flavour that ends with a kick of heat. At only $2.85 a pop they are well worth trying and make for a tasty, nutritious, and deceptively filling snack that would be a perfect base for all sorts of creamy delights. Although, I enjoyed them just on their own. It's convenient that they're available in a snack pack rather than buying a larger pack of the dryer, less tasty options for upwards of $11 at places like Whole Foods/raw restaurants. As for the puddings, they're all good: 3.75-4/5. The base is made from coconut and squash and sweetened with coconut sugar and maple syrup. They're perfectly packaged with the sauce on top in a separate container insert so you can dip/pour in as much or little as you like to sweeten to taste. I sampled each flavour: Chocolate, Earl Grey, Vanilla, Strawberry, Matcha Green Tea, and Black Sesame. Original (Vanilla) with Caramel Sauce (tastes a bit like a much lighter Butterscotch Pudding) and Chocolate are my favorites. I highly recommend trying them with the accompanying sauces. I tried without and the taste wasn't right. So I agree with a previous review that the pricing model should change to include the sauces rather than offering them without. These need to be enjoyed as they were conceived.

I initially saw reviews for this cute place on Yelp. It's a very small, walk up location, but that works. I got the chocolate vegan pudding with chocolate sauce and whipped cream. This is very good. The actual pudding is not too sweet, so if you want additional sweetness I suggest the sauce and whipped cream. All of the condiments are made with some part of coconut. No milk, or gluten just vegan goodness. There are a few flavours to choose from; chocolate, coconut, strawberry, green tea matcha, earl grey and vanilla. Why only 4 stars and not 5 is because I don't agree with the upward price difference in terms of pudding with no sauce, compared to sauce editions, and whipped cream. It's over $1 more for each addition. But the coolest thing about this place is that their containers are biodegradable. I do recommend visiting and supporting home made business like this I know I'm going back. I bought a vanilla caramel for me too, that's for after dinner.

I was SO HAPPY to find this gem on the street I was staying during my trip to Vancouver! The pudding was delicious and I loved the variety of flavors. Since going vegan I do miss some of the treats like Japanese purin so I loved indulging in this treat. I felt like I was back in Kyoto!

Cute stand in Vancouver that is convenient for a quick take-and-go snack. I got the Earl Grey creme brulee and my husband got the vanilla creme brulee, though I honestly didn't want to choose just one pudding! I'm not vegan myself, but I love vegan treats, so I'm familiar with the general taste and textures of sweets that are made sans dairy. This, I think, gives me a better idea of what to expect. The puddings have a nice flavour and are a lot less sweet than normal creme brulees. The caramelised maple sugar (or is it syrup?) is a little twist, but probably doesn't compare to the decadence of caramelised sugar! But it definitely tastes healthier. The texture is a bit more grainy, but the flavour is good. Only complaint is the aftertaste, which left a strange sensation in the mouth. That said, if you're looking for a light snack that is refreshing and can satisfy your sweet tooth, check this stand out!

WHAT A LOVELY TREAT! We stumbled upon the vegan pudding shop about 15 mins before closing time. The shop could easily be missed since it's just a take-out window. We were so happy we stopped by. The owner was so nice and kind and the pudding was divine. He offered us some free samples and we ended up with two large puddings- vanilla and earl grey. The large puddings come with special sauce and whip cream which is all highly recommended! It was great to find a vegan treat while walking the streets of Vancouver, but especially nice to find a really delicious one. Recommended for vegans and non-vegans alike!

Just happened to walk by this tiny take-out shop recently and ended up talking to the very pleasant owner (who told us his wife makes all of the product). Bought 3 different kinds of pudding: Vanilla, Chocolate and Matcha (green tea) to go, and I am happy to report they were all absolutely delicious! Since they last a week refrigerated, we were able to enjoy the 5 containers we bought over time, and also share them with some friends who came over for dinner. Our friends were equally impressed with how creamy, flavorful and yet not too heavy these handmade desserts were. And the fact the puddings are vegan & organic makes them a guilt-free dessert for people with all sorts of allergies and food intolerances. I highly recommend trying Vegan Pudding & Co out. The puddings are a little bit expensive, at $5 each, but worth every bite. And as a bonus you get to support small, local, ethical businesses!

First impression by vegan and non-vegan friends alike was "OMG this is AMAZING". Enough said. Now go get yourself some!

Go there!! Totally worth the $5. I wish I would have had more days in Vancouver to try more flavors. The ladies working were very friendly and helpful. The location is easy to find with the window right on the street there is a really good raw vegan restaurant a few doors down. Check out both you won't be disappointed.
