Where to begin! This place is so charming and delicious. The restaurant is quaint yet very clean and well decorated. The parking is ample and it is shared with 2 other restaurants. We ordered the veggie omelet, French toast, pancakes, gyro, and the kale juice- everything was fantastic! 10/10. My husband is not vegan and loved every bite of his gyro and he used to own a Philly cheesesteak shop. I believe non vegans would all love this place, huge menu and great portions. Our server was also very attentive and gave us recommendations on what he loved best which is what we ordered. Please give this place lots of business! More vegan restaurants like this for Houston! read more

Easily some of the best vegan food I have ever had. The heart of palm ceviche and oyster mushroom Parmesan were absolutely fantastic. Very comfortable and casual ambience. The staff was very friendly (particularly the bartender Michael who was very helpful with menu recommendations and made us some delicious cocktails). Will definitely return to continue tasting the rest of the menu! read more

Tried some new items today, the crab puffs were good! But the lavender cake was so incredibly dry. Couldn't even eat it. Wasted my money on that, but the eden salad was good. Overall it was alright. read more

The food is amazing. The sancocho soup is to die for. If my family who typically doesn't want to eat this food loves it and wants to come back, you know it is good. read more

Been here a few times to dine in. Service and food have always been fantastic. Today we decided to order out so we could go home and watch football. Called in 2 orders of the vegan nachos. We've always have these when we dine in. Today they were not the same. Very disappointed. The cheese was very watery. The cheese is my favorite part! Needless to say, I will not order these to go again. read more

Ginger mule is better than its predecessor Verdines. Am vegetarian and always looking for a place to have vegetarian or vegan food. Consider myself a veggie burger snob and have tried quite a few. Ginger mule did not disappoint, tried the lentil Kind Burger made with a pretzel like bun and sweet potato waffle fries. Yummy with grilled onions. Patty was thick as was the bun and generous portion of fries. However the real winner was shareable Hummus Tapitas!!! Warm pita bread (cauliflower but just like pita bread) organic seed crackers, apple slices, hummus, berry jam, and more. It was incredibly delicious and made a meal by itself. Friends had the very generous Fajitas made of Portobello mushrooms, bell peppers and onion, served with corn tortillas and sides of beans, rice and guacamole. Hard to believe they were vegan!!! Took a bite and supper yummy!!! Husband has Encinitas wrap made with spinach wrap and all sorts of veggie goodness in it. Asked for tea with lunch and oddly they were out of it, this was really odd. My only recommendation is to add regular waffle fries and two of us in the group are not fans of sweet potatoes. Love, love, loved the food! Will be back as I've got to try the vegan calamari. read more

IF YOU HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES, please consider a different restaurant. The server absolutely did not take it seriously and I'd even argue went out of his way to ignore mine. This visit was in April; my hope is that they have made changes since, but who really knows, as the owner and manager neglected to ever return my call after the fact. The servers NEED to be trained better, or at least trained to PRETEND as though they care. I am allergic to soy. Not a preference, not a sensitivity. Allergic. This is rather inconvenient, and sometimes difficult/annoying to maneuver, especially in vegan/vegetarian food (soy protein, edamame, tofu, soy milk, etc. etc.) I am also acutely aware it is *my* responsibility to make sure what I'm putting in my mouth is not an allergen. When you go to a restaurant, though, you are putting that trust into other peoples' hands, but it was clear from this visit our server did NOT take it seriously, nor seemingly care at all. Therefore, I cannot in good faith recommend this place, though it was delicious, because of our experience. Due diligence: a friend and I were on a long walk and decided to pop in during an off-time to check out the menu for a planned group dinner. She really wanted to check GM out. The owner came out and was quite friendly, and assured us there were plenty of options that did not contain soy. Yay! A week later, six of us arrived and were seated promptly on the back patio. They were a little busy, but not all tables were full. I immediately let our server know I'm allergic to soy, and that we had spoken with the owner the week prior, but wanted to make sure he was aware, too. He seemingly acknowledged it, and I assumed he "got it." We all ordered cocktails and decided on a bunch of different appetizers to share. A few of the items ordered are typically made with soy, but the server did not point that out at all. So, I asked him about each dish before he left our table to put in the order, and he said he would find out if they had soy or not. I'm not going to dictate what the rest of our party ate! But when each item arrived, he would just try to leave the food on the table and walk away. So, for my own safety, I had to ask him about each item as it came out. "Does this have soy? Does this?" Every time, he looked mildly surprised I asked, as though we had not covered it when we sat down or the other times something came out! But each time, I'd ask in a friendly way and with a smile, and then would wait patiently while everyone else ate, as he'd go and check (to his credit, as he didn't just guess) and come back and report that yes, it *did* have soy. This happened for everything that came out, and as our one friend fancies himself a "foodie" (ugh, I know lol), that was quite a bit of grub. So imagine, instead of just enjoying your friends and a meal, having to stop and remind/ask your server literally every single time something came out (+ six times) if something has an allergen in it, then wait until they came back while everyone else awkwardly went on eating. I felt annoying to everyone around us (and to other diners who may have heard) and obnoxious, and it was stressing me out to near-tears that I had to keep having to ask over and over again with a server who clearly was *not getting it,* no matter how many times I (or my friends) asked! Our main meals came out. Well, except mine. I'd ordered a veggie burger, exactly how written in menu, but it was nowhere to be seen for reasons that were never made clear (I have a guess...) The server avoided my eye, until one friend asked about my food. It arrived after everyone else was more than halfway finished with theirs, but had this "cheese" on it. I took a small bite and felt my mouth go tingly/puffy. The taste also was...off. So once again (#7??) I flagged down the waiter and asked if the cheese was made of soy. He replied he did not know, but would find out. Like...??? He eventually came back and said it did. At this point, I was starting to feel super sick and don't remember exactly what was discussed, except that he was too casual and had no sense of concern or urgency or even the TINIEST bit of problem-solving. He just walked off! One friend was furious with this response, and went to find a manager. He said the server tried to stop him from talking with another server, and kept interrupting him. I wasn't there, so I don't know really, but the manager came out, and was super apologetic & acted concerned. He gave me his phone # and asked me to call when I felt better so I could tell him what happened; we left promptly after. The rest of the night was awful, but no hospital was needed ...this time. The manager never called back. I don't understand why the server did not take this seriously, as allergies *are* serious. I don't expect those who don't have them to truly understand what it's like, but it's irresponsible to not have trained staff who at the very least has situational awareness. read more

I don't even know how many times I've been back since my first visit. I've only ordered take out from here so I can't speak on ambiance or service but as someone who is not vegan but dairy free and gluten free I love this place. I've only ordered their gluten free avocado toast because it's so good that I really can't pass up the opportunity to order it. The roasted chickpeas are such a great and unique addition. Also the gluten free toast is sooo good I often have to question if it's gluten free. If you know, you know. But I have to give a shoutout to their dessert menu. All of their desserts are gluten free which is nice but only if they're delicious and the two that I have tried are soooo delicious. The tres leches cake is honestly amazing. I have missed tres leches since I can no longer eat dairy or gluten so this is such a relief to find a great substitute. Honestly it's probably one of the best tres leches I've had ever. Love the flavor and love that it's not super soggy or just soaked in milk. It is very rich, obviously, but it is just so good and hard to stop craving it. I go back and only order a slice of this cake. It's truly that good. This weekend I was on a chocolate kick so I ordered the brownie. I absolutely loved the chocolate flavor of this cake. Not too bitter but also not too sweet. It is a cakier brownie but there is still some gooey sections in there. But even if there wasn't it would still have great flavor and I would order again. I hope they consider making full size tres leches cakes because I definitely want that for my future birthdays. As long as the cake is there I will be back. read more

I could not recommend this place enough. For my 5 day trip in Houston I ate 3 times at this place. Super friendly staff and the food is just amazing. Delicious desserts as well (a little too sweet for my test - but very tasty) read more

Great vegan restaurant that recently opened in Houston Heights! Stopped in for a drink, ended up staying for a few and some food. They offer a great variety of vegan and healthy options. They offer a variety of toast, salads, bowls, brunch and other food options. Their cocktail menu was really impressive! Their drinks are creative and tasty. We enjoyed the guava pistachio toast for a bite and the pink goddess, water me down, and closing time. The closing time was sweet and tropical, the pink goddess was light and refreshing, as was the water me down mule. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. They also have a parking lot that they share with other restaurants. Worth checking out! read more

Service was very friendly but slightly slow, which is understandable for the soft opening. We LOVED the hummus & the ceviche!!!

This place is amazing - it's as good, if not better than, some of the best restaurants we've been to in London. Seriously fantastic food and great service. Everything we've tried so far has been delicious, thoughtfully and uniquely prepared, and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. We've tied most of their desserts, their massive hummus plate, curry with crispy tofu, "fried rice your way", a few of their salads, and "fish" tacos, which have all been amazing. I look forward to trying the rest of their menu. read more

So... didn't realize this place was vegan when we chose it. Trust & believe we are near people but even the 15-year-old was pleasantly surprised! Definitely a place to check out. Make sure you try one of their fresh juice cocktails. Server was super kind and food came out quickly. read more

I really don't like leaving bad reviews. So let me start with the positives... Parking was great. Restaurant was really pleasant and bright. Staff were friendly and attentive. Let me put a disclaimer: I'm not a vegan, however I do enjoy veggies ... With that being said, this was our first and last time visiting the restaurant. It was painful to get through some of the dishes we ordered. I tried really hard to love it, but my taste palate was NOT pleased. Could be an individual thing, it may just be me... but the food was not flavorful or enjoyable. read more

Today was my first time dining at The Ginger Mule and the food was delicious! I will definitely be back again. Our waiter and hostess were super friendly and helpful. The restaurant is bright and tastefully decorated. read more

The food was delicious. Service was good and atmosphere was very nice. I would go again.

Food and service were great! I will for sure be going back I love the variety of dishes offered. Everything we had from the cauliflower wings, nachos, kids pizza, kids meatballs, and the fried rice were delicious. Our server was great and very attentive. Oh and the brownie was to die, it had the right amount of walnut mix only missing the ice cream. read more

Super cute for a quick lunch. We went for a quick girls lunch for everyone to meet my baby and we had an absolutely amazing time. The food is to die for! Definitely do not know that you are eating vegan. It is amazing. It's a 10 out of 10 recommended definitely going back. read more

A gal pal and I came from west Houston to this lovely restaurant for lunch recently. I had Fish Tacos. They were so delicious, loaded with flavor. The flavors were interesting and complex, and something that even a non foodie would enjoy. The surprise was that the taco components crisply held their shape to the last bite. Often fish tacos are so juicy that they have a melt down before bite two. These were crispy crunchy and fresh to the tasty end. The piece of Key Lime Pie we split for dessert was just perfect. Can hardly wait to go back. A truthful review requires mention of the excellent service. It's nice to have cheerful wait staff who appear, as if by magic, at all the right times, with all the right stuff. BTW: You don't have to pack a snack to make it from west Houston to the Heights! It's a short trip. And, it's well worth the time to experience the flavors and ambiance of The Ginger Mule! read more

We were in town from California and looking for vegan options and found the Ginger Mule on yelp. It did not disappoint. We got the cauliflower bites and butternut lasagne, both very good. The star was the "water me down" mule, hands down the BEST cocktail I have ever had!! I would go back just for that alone!! read more

The server was very nice and welcoming. Giving his honest opinion about the food. But I'm sorry to say I was disappointed in the food. I am a vegan and it just did not hit the mark. The cauliflower bites was bland need more seasoning. The calamari wasn't good, the nachos was decent but I just didn't like the substitute meat but the vegan cheese is really good. I am pretty picky so I still recommend others to try the restaurant because they were nice and it could be my taste in food. They have good reviews. read more

Everything I've tried has been great so far! Starting going there about a month ago & already been there many times and, some of them even remember my name. Definitely will be back. Great menu. Great service & management too. If you ask, they'll even make things soy free for you. I don't drink but, they have a full bar. read more

Great service! Delicious food! Big variety to choose from. Relaxing atmosphere. Will be back!!

I love ginger mule food with some exception. The service is always perfect and the wait time for the food is quick. The mozzarella sticks are just fried tofu blocks. I wouldn't recommend them due the fact I was expecting cheese to be in them it was just tofu. Tres de leche - is the BEST dessert they have . A must try , The butternut squash lasagna my boyfriend really liked it I didn't really care for it as much . It's a small dish, The omelette and the French toast is pure gold ! read more

One of my favorite places for plant based foods in the city even my non vegan friends love it here. My most recent visit for brunch on a Sunday early afternoon after the gym, y'all know I'm always hungry and after the gym especially I am ready to eat! Only seats available are at the bar, perfect no wait. Although, I really wanted a mimosa it's counterproductive to me after a great workout, therefore I ordered the watermelon basil juice which was refreshing and the French toast with just eggs, sausage and a side of fruit. The French toast was perfectly made the just egg omelette was delicious. If you are in wanting great plant based food no matter the time of day stop into the Ginger Mule. read more
