What We Do:

Hello! We’re a family-owned business bringing delicious vegan Asian food to Ottawa. While we’re not a full sit-down restaurant, we offer takeaway from our kitchen and also take part in local events where we serve hot, freshly made dishes. We try to host these events regularly, so be sure to check back often or follow us on social media for updates!

Our kitchen is located in the basement of Congregation Machzikei Hadas, a synagogue, meaning all the food we make on-site is certified Kosher.

Our Story:

Our journey began with my parents, who owned and operated a Chinese take-out and buffet restaurant for many years before retiring. After they retired, my wife and I made the transition to veganism, and it quickly became important for us to share the flavors we love, but in a way that aligns with our values.

That’s when we decided to create Yugirolls. We wanted to offer something that reminded people of the eggrolls they knew and loved, but without the egg or meat. After a lot of testing and perfecting, we came up with a plant-based version of the classic eggroll that tastes just as good, if not better! To avoid any confusion, we decided to call them "Yugirolls" instead of eggrolls, and it’s now the signature item we’re known for.

Since launching Yugirolls, we’ve expanded our menu to include other plant-based versions of our family’s favorite recipes from the restaurant. This business has become a passion project for both of us, as we continue to recreate the comforting dishes we grew up with, but in a vegan-friendly way. It’s a big part of our mission to offer tasty, plant-based options and contribute to improving what’s available in Ottawa’s vegan food scene.
