03/11/2017 - Tonight's dinner (and drinks) - Lychee drink, Icy Chocolate with Ice Cream, Tom Yum mushroom soup, Stir Fry Flat Rice Noodle and Soysage Veggy Rice. Fantastic vegetarian food. 😋
Extensive selections (approximately 140 dishes) and delicious vegetarian (vegan) menu (see online for menu). They serve quality vegetarian food and is well priced from $9 to $18 per main while the drinks and desserts only cost between $1.50 to $5.50.
I came here with my daughter to try something different. Rather than having meats tonight, we have decided to try vegetarian cuisine. I found this place via Google Map and decided to give it a try. When we arrived, there were only three occupied tables. We sat down and looked at the menu. We were a slightly overwhelmed when we first saw the menu as this is the first time we came here and not sure what to expect. We took awhile to decide what we want to eat after extensively going through the menu!
We decided to order: 9 steam dumplings, single [serving] tom yum mushroom soup, regular size stir fry flat rice noodle and regular size soysage veggy rice (see the photos, except the dumplings as we ate it too quickly). By the way, the main dishes come in two sizes; regular or large portion.
The tom yum mushroom soup (entrée) was very tasty, and the dumplings are flavoursome and we enjoyed it very much. The sliced vegan sausages do taste like real meat sausages. The stir fry flat noodle is slightly bland with my daughter needing to add some tomato sauce to improve the flavour.
The place is slightly dated but cosy atmosphere. Comfy seating. Friendly staff.
My daughter is a very slow eater and took her awhile to finish, and we never feel rushed to finish our meals.
After we finish our dinner, it was time for the bill. It all came to $43.30. After I paid and gone, I rechecked the amount at home (based on the online menu), and found that I was slightly overcharged by $3.70. Not going to break the bank any time soon but would be good if the owner can double check with me and/ or calculate the invoice twice.

Would I go back? Maybe.
Would I recommend this? Yes, the food is definitely a hit but do check the bill before paying.

Simply the best vegetarian food in christchurch and the greatest staff! My favorite are the claypots and the red roast. We often take groups of non vegetarians here and the only complaint I've heard is they want to try more of the 140+ dishes, but are too full to eat any more!

Restaurant quality food at $13-$20 per main. Drinks and desserts only $2-$5. Large portions, heaps of flavor, many choices most of which are vegan (see online for menu). Never feel rushed to finish, owner very good at coming out exactly when people are ready for plates to clear etc. Tables easily moved around so good for big groups.

140 dishes to get indecisive about, of which the overwhelming majority are vegan too. Mushrooms feature heavily, with a few western dishes to enjoy, but for the most part it's Chinese style (as the name suggests). Well priced, but does get quite crowded and a bit noisy, surely a sign of a much loved institution.

Delicious vegetarian Chinese restaurant. Cheap prices, fantastic selection, good flavours. Even frequent meat eaters such as myself love the food at Welcome. They do takeaway and reservations. Try a hotplate or a 3 course menu for a great experience.
