    Orange Chicken Flavored Portabella Wings
    Yesenia S.

    I passed by The Black Vegan for lunch. They have several options from bbq ribs, portebella wings, gyro, shrimp burger, loaded fries and more! I got the portobello wings with mild sauce and fries. I also tried their orange chicken with sesame seeds. The flavor of both was amazing. There's plenty of street parking and seating inside the restaurant.

    I was craving Nashville hot chicken while I visited Chicago and I saw some reviews praising how…read moregood the "chicken" sandwich was. I'm no vegetarian or vegan by any means, but I thought I had to give it a try because of those reviews. I read the description and I am a fan of the hen of the woods mushrooms, so I believed it would be good for sure and needless to say, it was great! The crazy thing is I didn't even have it fresh either. I was having so much trouble with transportation and accidentally ordered way too early. I didn't eat it until an hour and a half later when I got back to my hotel because it was getting so late. I don't think I thought it was great because I was hungry - I actually had a full meal before that. Anyway I had it cold and yeah it still blew me away, but I'm sure if I had it fresh out the kitchen it would've blown my mind and I would definitely come back again. The fries did get soggy however so nothing special about that. But they were seasoned well still!

    Did. Not. Disappoint…read more I came by while traveling in Chicago and I heard this place was incredible for vegan food. I grabbed a table in the corner and ordered a few things. I got the Nashville vegan chicken sandwich, birria tacos, vegan Mac, and a salad. All were so delicious, especially the vegan nashville sandwich! For dessert, I had the berry cheesecake and a vegan hot chocolate with marshmallow. The cheesecake was incredible! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town.

    I was craving plantains so we ordered delivery, and OMG this is probably one of the best chicken…read moreand candied yams I've ever had! The chicken was grilled to perfection! The meat was juicy, the seasoning was delicious and the sauce that came with it was tangy, sweet and wasn't too spicy. But those candied yams OMG! They weren't overly sweet that it hurts your throat but just the right amount to satisfy your sweet tooth! They must have added some fruit like pineapple because it added a little tangy kick that balances so well with the sweetness and added another dimension! We will have to try this place in person next time!

    Jerky Jerk is THE SPOT!…read more We wanted something better than stadium food before the Bulls game. And the three of us love Jamaican food, specifically, jerk chicken and curry goat. So as soon as Jerky Jerk showed up on my Yelp search, I knew my search had ended, and that we found our pre-game dinner spot. Jerky Jerk blew my expectations out of the water. I'm a Chicago native, but I live in LA, where I'm lucky to be surrounded by many delicious Jamaican food spots. But Jerky Jerk has the best jerk chicken I've ever had. When I say that the smoky, slightly sweet, tender, fall-of-the-bone experience hit the spot, I mean that it HIT THE SPOT! Even the rice & peas and cabbage were cooked and spiced to perfection. All three of us devoured our plates in about ten minutes. I also love the colorful and lively Chicago sports murals that fill each wall, as well as the hospitable and vibrant service from the owners. They absolutely rock. They throw a party inside, and they make you feel welcomed and right at home. Jerky Jerk is now a non-negotiable stop when visiting Chicago. This place slaps.

    Very basic veggie burger. They used the morningnstar frozen black bean pattie. They also have the…read moreimpossible option. Both are really... Basic. Like basic squishy bun. I ordered with cheese and it was missing. Nothing good in terms of toppings. It was just all so basic. Fries were also kinda ok. Not great and they didn't send any ketchup. Overall, love that there's a place that has all veggies, but they probably need to step up their game if they expect to stand out and not just be another basic fast food joint.

    This review is not so much about the food; even though it was not that great. I ordered an…read moreImpossible burrito and I'm hoping I don't get sick. The Impossible ground beef looked pretty undercooked - it should be brown, not pink; just like beef made from cows. Definitely not worth the. $12 I paid What concerns me is that Veggitopia is located in some weird, wanna-be food hall with other fast food businesses; how do I know if the food is prepared in a dedicated vegan-only food area? I was hoping to have a nice sit-down dining experience but walked past the address twice before I realized the "food hall" was the place. It's located on a part of Superior Street that looks like the homeless should be camped out there. There are cars parked randomly on both sides of the street so you have to weave around them, as they are not even parked legally (double parked). Apparently, this is some kind of mecca for Uber Eats. You go inside a relatively small space and close what restaurant you want to order from on a self-service kiosk. No indoor dining here; everything is to-go. The food was made fairly quickly but now I have to sit in my car in 20 degree weather and eat it Definitely not a fan of this co-op food concept at all. Avoid using the restroom here. It looks like it should be in one of the Saw movies.
