I love curry & have looked forward to Foo Dog opening their doors. The owner also owns 13 Gypsies (in the same block), so you know flavors are going to be on point. For my first visit, I started with ginger-basil wings. Fried to a golden brown with a hint of ginger and basil - nice opener! For the main course, I ordered The Buddha's Korma. I opted for the vegetarian version, loaded with potatoes, carrots and zucchini. The curry was delicious and the veggies were cooked perfectly - al dente. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal and the interesting assortment of international sodas they had to accompany. The restaurant is geared more for carry out to serve the local community, but they do have tables - mostly 2 tops, so be careful going with a large group. Decorations are a mix of southeast Asian (two-headed Gator that they called a Dragon) and Riverside brick. Very enjoyable & I look forward to working my way through the menu! read more

I must admit, I may have only given 4.5 stars if I had the chance but I am also ok with rounding up. First off, these wings are like the best chicken wings I have had in recent memory. I'm not kidding. So good and they stand up to a little travel. I got them to go which made me wary but even in a closed container when I got to eatin' about 15 minutes after leaving Foo Dog, they were still super crispy. Pretty amazing. Great subtle flavor, I could eat these for days (and then dream about them from the comfort of my hospital bed after the necessary triple bypass from clogged arteries and too many fried chicken wings... but I digress). I also got the chicken laksa which was also super tasty, though I want to try other items on the menu to compare and contrast. Mind you, every visit with include wings! Weird aside - the Thai tea is in a can! Yes, you read that right. I have never seen Thai tea come in a can but you know what... pour that into a glass with some ice and it tastes the same. So there. Definitely recommended and did I mention the wings were good?? read more

Prepare to walk in and have no clue what to do...... You're ok because I'm here to guide you! Check in at the middle area to order you food and drinks. Hopefully you weren't looking for any beer, wine or liquor because they don't serve it... They say that you are more than welcome to eat on the back patio and get alcoholic beverages from the other restaurant in the strip. We ordered two appetizers: the calamari and zucchini fritters. For our entrées we ordered the house special chicken curry and the Buddhas korma. For our drinks we ordered rare cola(Inca Kola) The food came out in a timely manner fresh and hot. The presentation was amazing(Gordon Ramsay style) It is a little bit on the pricey side but what would you expect for something so new and in the trendiest part of town! All in all if you're looking for a great date night spot that is chill then you should totally set your taste buds free and your wallet a little lighter read more

Really enjoy Foo Dog for the convenience factor - dishes are all freshly made from scratch and prepared in less than 15 mins. All different styles of curries and other authentic meals from all over Malaysia. The only down fall is they are a bit pricey esp if you add protein. For $14 you would hope to have more than enough leftovers. But if you are hungry that won't be the case. The walls are adorned with really cool masks too! Favorites for me are the masala and cod green curry read more

Foo Dog Curry Traders - Mushroom noodles with chicken - Vegan Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

See all

I wanted to love Foo Dog but it just didnt hit the spot for me. We ordered the zucchini fritters to start. They were tasty, if a little salty, but awkward to dip in the sauce container so they crumbled quite a bit. We ordered the house curry noodles which had a very strong curry taste and the noodles seemed slightly overcooked and stuck together. We also had the ginger mushroom noodles which were on the other side of the spectrum and slightly bland. The location is walk up and order which is usually a selling point for me, unfortunately in this instance it was not. The place is very small and we were the only ones there. We sat less than 10 ft from the counter where three people were working. We ordered an app and two entrees that came out at different times, which was fine, but instead of walking the few feet to deliver the food, they had us get up three times. We even left a tip when we ordered expecting the food would at least be brought to the table. Kind of a pet peeve but to each their own. Overall not a great experience, perhaps I will give it another try when it has been open a while. read more

I agree with Cassie P! Awesome place. Five of us went for a work lunch and no one could finish their entire meal. And that's saying something about our group. Wonderful flavor. I'll be back for sure. read more

Foo Dog Curry Traders - Crispy Cod. Delicious!!! - Vegan Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Tried Foo Dog Curry Traders for first time tonight, being locals it's nice to have this in the neighborhood. Called in an order of Chips and Curry, Crispy Cod with Green Curry and Chicken Laksa for pick up. Very pleasant service experience when taking order. Entrees were great, very flavorful. The Crispy Cod with Green Curry could've done with more sauce. The sauce was very reduced, nearly dry, but the cod was perfect. The Laksa is not traditional, but an interesting take on the dish. Laksa's are usually a soup/broth noodle dish though this version is more like a Pad Thai. Again great flavors, but could've done with more sauce and protein. Portions are not your standard large sizes, which was a nice change. The Chips and Curry appetizer, at $6 the portion was very small, only enough for a couple of bites for two, a decent attempt on a U.K. Curry Chip. The curry sauce was good but unfortunately very salty, the curry sauce should be the hero not the salt. I would suggest eliminating the salt and let the curry sauce stand on its own. With a few adjustments this place could be a keeper, keeping in mind they have only been open a couple of weeks. Will definitely give this place a shot again, when they get all their ducks in a row. read more

Foo Dog Curry Traders - Chips and Curry - Vegan Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Been here a few times. Always get the same thing (crispy cod with green curry) because I'm a creature of habit when it comes to food I like! I'm here now actually and just remembered I didn't put in a review. Portions are good! I'm stuffed and I can take the rest to go. My husband always gets the japchae and said it's better than my mom's. My mom is Korean and makes the best japchae so that's up for debate lol! But this place has great food, like the atmosphere and the "exposed brick" (yeah I know how HGTV of me) lol! It's eclectic menu deserves a try! read more

We live very close by so we visit Foo Dog often. Everything we have gotten has been excellent. I didn't really know how much I enjoy curry until I tried Foo Dog! We make sure to get their vegan popcorn nuggets every time we go. They're excellent, especially the sauce they come with. Will continue to support this unique and delicious spot! read more

So originally I wanted the sushi place down the road but they were closed so I looked up what was near me because I was too hungry to go anywhere else. I found this place and when I went in on a Sunday around 3pm the place wasn't that busy. Which it's on the outskirts of the main places in Riverside so it wasn't shocking. Place was very clean, professional, and guiding if it was your first time. Rice A Rollies were really good, I especially liked the sauce. It's almost like a sweet and sour sauce but matched the rice balls greatly. The curry entree, I wish it came with more rice. That's definitely something I'll be ordering the next time I go is an extra side of rice because what rice is already underneath the curry is soaked and it really wasn't much. The curry spice had a kick but not an overpowering flavor. I ordered without meats so just the veggies. Overall eating experience was 8.5/9 , dining in by myself was 10/10 I was left alone/checked on occasionally, restaurant's cleanliness 9.5/10 (i don't know about bathrooms being I didn't use them). Would recommend this place if you've never had curry or if you do like it!! read more

Very unique menu with the best vegetarian options I've ever had! Try out the vegan popcorn chicken, you won't be disappointed!

This place is AMAZING. Gluten free and vegan AND amazingly tasty is not always an easy combination, but this place pulls it off. Try the tofu "butter" chicken. Amazing!!! read more

Love the interior design, the food is awesome and if you are just looking for a clean fulfilling decent meal this is the place.

As a vegetarian this restaurant is a solid four stars. It's a little, teeny corner store where you walk up and place your order. We went on an especially cold night with no heating. Luckily, that meant no wait! There's a huge variety of Asian Fusion type dishes that can all be customized per the eater's diet. I can always appreciate somewhere that gives us veg's an option. My order was the Buddha Korma - a coconut green curry with tofu over rice. It didn't list potatoes as a ingredient (pretty sure), but did come with them. Not my favorite as I think potatoes are a cheap, bland filler ingredient. It was warm and had a lot of flavor. The appetizers were also a win for us. Again all were vegetarian. We had the zucchini fritters (basically fried, grated zucchini) - crispy and delicious. The Jackfruit Nuggets - definitely the hit of the party. Fried with a curry batter, none of my friends had ever tried jackfruit and were amazed at how similar the texture was to chicken. And finally, the vegetarian spring rolls with tofu, rice paper wrapped around tofu and glass noodles. Hard to mess these up. My non-veg friends probably wouldn't give this place a four star (two threes and a two, I asked), but all said they would give it another try. One got a Pork Vindaloo - too much rice and very spicy. A pork fried rice - fried rice, nothing special. And the Lion City LiLi - too much ginger. I can't taste too confirm. None finished their meals if that says anything. I didn't love the flimsy containers, but get how easy it is too clean and pack up if you want to take them home. While there was a huge variety of Asian beverages and regular sodas, a beer would have been great with the flavors. The biggest con was the price. All of the apps were $7-8 and the dinners were $12-13. I don't feel the portion sizes or taste really warranted that price. I think with some tweaks it could be a great place. read more

The food is delicious! I can't believe everything is gluten free. Started with the veggie samosas which were lovely. But the Vindaloo curry with crispy cod was amazing. I could not stop myself from finishing the whole meal. I look forward to ordering from Foo Dog again soon! read more

The food is still very good; however, they have reduced their food quantity considerably. The price for lunch is still a bit high. Not a recipe for success in my opinion. I hope it doesn't come down to one noodle and one piece of meat . read more

Literally my favorite restaurant possibly ever. I lived in Chicago (one of the best places for food) for a year & still never found anything that rivals this place. Every time i would come visit town, I came here. Thankfully I am back and can come all the time again. The Kanpai noodles are absolutely the best noodles I've ever tasted; I could honestly eat them every meal! Also try their Chips and Curry (potatoes with their amazing curry sauce), I like mine with their homemade chili oil. Yes, the prices are a bit higher for a counter service place, but the amazing flavor in every recipe and made-to-order meals make it worth the price. I also love love love that everything is vegan but meat can be added. As a veg, it's nice to be able to bring my carnivore friends here and have options for us both. read more

Fantastic food! The prices are high and menu is somewhat limited as well as not much place to sit. But this a great spot to stop by for yummy dishes (big portions) while you are strolling about the beautiful riverside area. read more

As a celiac with a corn allergy, I was super happy to find this amazing little place. If you're traveling, it's totally worth the trip off the interstate, s d if you're local, you're lucky!!! We tried a little bit of everything. The crab balls and rice-a-Rollie's were a hit. The kimchee was extra spicy but good, and everything was seasoned and flavorful. The veggies were fresh and cooked perfectly. Absolutely recommend as celiac-safe AND delicious! read more

After a long road trip we were happy to find somewhere in Jacksonville that was completely gluten free! Came in just before closing and they were happy to pump out some fresh piping hot curry dishes that did not disappoint. Autumn spring rolls with vegan chicken were well balanced and refreshing , and both our curry dishes were spiced well and warmed our bellies to help us drive 3 more hours to our destination. We will be back!! read more

We stopped here to grab a quick snack for our road trip. The vibe of the restaurant is very nice and they have some interesting art pieces all over. We appreciated all the vegan options on the menu. We got the Samosas and Popcorn Imitation Chicken. The popcorn chicken was good but slightly dry. The sauce helped but it could have used some more filling. The samosas were bland. The sauces were not the best paired. Would have been nice to get a mint chutney with them. read more

Foo Dog Curry Traders - Vegan Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

This place has a real identity crisis. The recipes are tasty and interesting, but for the prices charged ($36 for two of us), I expect more than eating small portions out of boxes with plastic forks and canned drinks or water without ice. The atmosphere could use some work as well. The guy at the counter was laughing it up with his buddies while cranking up tunes on the stereo. Not a terrible experience, but certainly not worth the cash spent. read more

I tried to give them another chance today, but it seemed like the portion size was even less. I'm disappointed, it's just not the same anymore:( read more

Fun stop for some quick great flavors and textures. Everything can be made vegan which we did and were not disappointed. Yum on that Jackfruit starter, crispy, peppery, chunky with a great sauce to dip. Rice a Rollers like a nice Asian arancini. We had three different entrees, including curry and noodle dishes and all did not disappoint. Small and only a few tables, but mighty. All served in takeout boxes, but that adds to fun and casual vibe. Service was very friendly. Place is super clean and tidy. Important in my book. read more

I liked the decor, lots of Indonesian masks on the wall! We tried the green curry with cod and the lime curry with tofu. The green curry had a little kick, but the cod was a little too salty. The lime curry was better flavor, and the tofu was delicious! Wish we got more tofu for $2 extra though. We also got the green tea which was just a tea bag, not loose leaf. read more

If you are driving up and down I-95, its super easy to get lots of yummy food here. They JUST changed their menu so check out their website for the newest offerings. We didn't know what we wanted but talked through our favorite flavors on the phone and gobbled up the rice and noodle dishes we were recommended. The crispy cod is where it's at. They have lots of interesting drinks on the menu for about $2 each, so give them a try. read more

Bad choice. Was looking for something a little more authentic, and got a box of noodles with very little curry coloring and taste (extra $2 for extra curry was beyond worthless). Vegetables were sparse and undercooked. Popcorn chicken added to the top was little better than a hurried unboxing of Morningstar popcorn chicken bites heated up and thrown on. Completely dissatisfied. read more

I got takeout from here and I was very pleased with the food and the service! I ordered through the YELP app and asked for my food to be very mild and it was. The woman at the counter said she wrote "spicy" on one of the containers for me so I'd know it was spicy. She went out of her way to help me understand the sauces and explain that they cooked everything mild for me. The food was delicious! I tried the Buddha's something and the samosas. I'll definitely be back and I highly recommend! read more

Worst "samosas" I've ever had! Just a split pea mush in a fried ball. And $8 for 3 tiny balls. No resemblance to what I used to get in London. read more

I was browsing yelp for good vegan/vegetarian restaurants when I came across foo dog. The drive was kind of long, but the food made up for it. I ordered the Japanese style noodles with the tofu. The noodles are amazing and the tofu goes great with them. I even let my grandma try a cube. She hasn't ever tried tofu and was very skeptical about it. She said it smelled and tasted good and I couldn't agree more. The scenery is decent. This is the perfect place to go for a group of two or just by yourself. Another thing I really like about the restaurant is the international menu. I find it really cool how I can try different style of dishes from different countries. I really like this place. I see myself coming again in the future. read more

Solid curry taste and portions are fair. Usually have a little leftover for later. Green curry, red curry, and house curry are excellent go-to's if you haven't ordered here before tasty and quick? What else could you need? read more
