We've been getting food from Vegetarian Palate for more than 5 years now. I love that they have so many different choices on their menu and that they're all vegetarian! The majority of the items from their menu that we've tried have all been really delicious, but occasionally we try something that isn't great and is typically under seasoned. Some of our favorites are the crispy chicken nuggets, mango chicken, salt and pepper chicken tenders (the jalapeño slices and sauce are delicious), curry roll, and scallion pancake. My favorite menu item was the Hawaiian Chicken, which is unfortunately no longer available but they have so many other choices! I love it though, please bring it back! :) read more

The ma pa tofu here is my go to takeout comfort food. I like how the counter service is personal and it seems like a nice family owned shop.

Somehow my wife had gotten a menu and on this menu all the vegetable and fruit juices they specialized in were gone. The only fruit juice they had was pineapple ginger. Ok, we'll get a soda. My wife tells the man at the counter the two sodas we wanted. Now in years past, we would get a glass with ice per drink. Today, we got A CAN OF SODA AND A STRAW. When we received our food, each dish was in a togo plastic container and the rice was in a togo card board container. CLASSY RIGHT? Gone were the nice plates and homey atmosphere. Gone was silverware, being replaced by the CHEAPEST PLASTIC FORKS AND SPOONS MONEY CAN BUY. It was appalling. I was now beginning to get annoyed. My wife had also told the man at the counter that we wanted a 1/2 tray of nuggets to take home. Based upon his half answer, I decided to tell the "waiter" the same thing. He seemed quite annoyed at me addressing him, grunted his reply to my request and moved on. While we were eating our "to go" sit down meal, I heard the person at the front counter (who was answering phones and taking orders) speaking to an annoyed woman who said she tried calling several times and got no response. HIS response was revealing. Quite simply he lied to her and told her he was not answering the phones so he didn't know what was going on. He then proceeded to tell her this was his first day on the job. I believe this was a sympathy plea as we watched him do things that clearly no first day employee would do. I made a mental note and kept eating. Now for the moment of truth. The bill. We get the bill from this front desk person and the nuggets we ordered? Not there. I always tip. It is something that is a carry over from when I was a waiter as a teen. I recognize this is how many waiters make their money. But in this case, the service was so bad, I left nothing. After all, we were packed to go before we started. I paid my bill and left. 15 minutes later, as I'm getting on the highway, I received a call from the restaurant (same front desk person) who cheerfully told me my nuggets were ready. WHAT!!!! I politely told him no mention of the nuggets took place as we were leaving and we were not charged for it so I assumed he forgot about it. I took this opportunity to let him know how disappointed I was in the full experience. I began to talk about the issues with the waiter and clearly not listening he asked "Was it me? Did I do something wrong?" And then he parroted the "this is my first day" message he gave the other lady. He then told me that the company had decided to use another business model when I told him about the lack of plates and silverware. He also stated that the restaurant is set up for customers TO GET THEIR OWN PLATES AND EATING UTENSILS. This is curious because nowhere is that stated OR are their plates and utensils set up. Now if you're thinking what I'm thinking, this question won't be too much of a mystery: HOW DOES A FIRST DAY EMPLOYEE KNOW ALL THIS INFORMATION????? I advised him that we all make choices and I guess this visit was the end of an era. I am so disappointed. I will miss the nuggets but it is not worth the trouble. The restaurant has gone from an A rating in my mind to a C rating. Like I said, we all make choices... read more

I've been ordering from here a handful of times and I've enjoyed the appetizers, but it seems like the hot entrees are all the same dishes made up of canned baby corn, canned mushrooms, and canned bamboo (all of which have a strong distinct taste) in various sauces and a couple different protein options and a small amount of a few basic vegetables (carrot, snow peas, and broccoli). The excessive use of canned vegetables make them all taste kind of the same and honestly, not that good. Seems quite lazy in my opinion. The noodle dishes are better, I suppose. The Ocean Harvest doesn't have as much of the canned veggies so it's pretty good. But the rest ... eh. But I do like the appetizers and sides (such as the sugar cane drumsticks and salt & pepper "chicken" tenders). I may just limit my orders to those and avoid most of the hot entrees from now on. read more

Great Options for Vegetarian food! They never miss a beat! Spare ribs are a must try!

I'm so happy to have found this restaurant! It's a great take-out spot for vegetarian and vegan Chinese cuisine. Extremely well priced, fresh and made to order, and absolutely delicious. Plus, the lunch specials are fantastic! Service is always friendly, and the restaurant cozy with a small corner for dining in. Thank you, Vegetarian Palate! read more

I'm currently devouring this scrumptious mango chicken with green peppers and red onions. A bit on the sweet and sour side, but it is delish with the basic white rice. I got the lunch meal with chowder soup. Definitely a good meal with excellent price! read more

Y'all. I came here to say: order the chicken nuggets (and get the large one because you're going to want more!) I order from VP often. It's always delicious. It's always fast. It's always packaged with love. This is one of my favorite go-tos for delivery! Even my non-vegetarian friends have become big fans. 11/10. read more

So far so good! The food was great and the woman at the front desk was so sweet! She recommended the soy ice cream shake with strawberry, pineapple, banana and it was amazing!! Definitely a must try if you haven't already. The corn chowder also smelled and tasted great. read more

Food was AMAZING. Ive had the veggie chicken nuggets before so wasnt surprised by how delicious those were. The Korean BBQ rib tips though, tender, sweet, the meat I remember without the meat. Wanted to eat every last bit of it but another great thing is lots of leftovers cause they do give you ALOT of food. And my order came fast; it's in the neigborhood. Treat nearby. read more

I used to love this place until my last visit . The food made my husband and I very sick ! We get the same thing every time but this time it tasted different and I believe it was cooked different. We ordered during lunch special and didn't even get the full lunch special deal and when it was brought to the lady at the counter attention she was very nasty rude and condescending. She thought it was okay to dismiss us to then talk over us to the people coming in behind us. That was a major buzz kill for me if the attitude alone wasn't enough to have us never visit here the food making us sick for 2 days straight definitely did . Never again . There are other vegan Chinese restaurants near by with more space and people with better communication skills . read more

I don't necessarily think this is the most gourmet or exquisite meal option, but I lived in this neighborhood for 6 years, and for long stretches would order takeout from Vegetarian Palate every week or two, so I'd be a hypocrite if I gave it anything less than 5 stars. The whole menu is vegan, so if you have any food restrictions along those lines you can try literally anything. My personal favorite were the sugar cane drumsticks. They always come piping hot, and they were one of the few items from any local restaurant I really craved. They're very much in line with the restaurant's tendency to be more on the comfort food spectrum than health food, despite being vegan. The menu says you get five of them, but after about 150 times of ordering them I never got 5, always 6. Another favorite (with the same caveat) was the wonton soup, which is probably the best pork-free wonton soup I've ever had. Takeout can vary a little bit when they're busy, but for the most part it's astonishingly fast. It's much faster, for example, than the two Thai restaurants on Washington Ave. I frequently place an order on Yelp, then show up at the restaurant maybe 10 minutes later, but I rarely waited long, and frequently not at all. One of the nice breakthroughs I had here was that after going there to pick up food about 70 times the woman at the counter seemed to finally recognize that I had been there before. That was a nice little added bonus to the experience. I moved away in November 2019, and still there are days when I just don't feel like cooking and want those damn sugar cane drumsticks. Maybe they can ship them? read more

Got a headache after eating the food. The protein was a little spongy. Granted I was ordering for a very young vegetarian so their tolerance was low and I don't know if the headache was coincidental but it put me off. read more

The customer service is always excellent and there's not a long wait time. I always get the Curry Singapore Mei Fun and I like to add tofu to the dish. The thin noodles includes three veggie meat mixed in. Don't worry it's not spicy but just right. I highly recommend it, you can't go wrong. Oh I forgot, the portion size is good for two people. read more

Excellent food at great prices. And great service! Have been a client for years and always go back whenever I can.

You can always rely on vegetarian palate for a yummy meat free fix! There are lots of protein options from tofu to sextan, and lots of fresh veggies to go with them. All if their soups are heavy and so good for you. I'm especially obsessed with the won ton soup and I often have that as my main course. It's also my go to when I'm sick! I also love the mango chicken. Bring your appetite because the portions are filling! Also what I wouldn't give to have their banana chicken rolls back! *hint*hint* read more

Horrible! Horrible! Horrible!! I just spent $14 on THE WORST vegetarian Chinese food in my life!! The iron steak! What the hell was that? I can't even tell what it was made of...mush maybe?? I ended up eating the terrible scallion pancake and subar broccoli and brown rice. Sooooo disappointed. read more

Just ordered hot and sour soup, spinch and garlic, and mongolian beef (veggie, obviously:). This restaurant is around the corner and thought I'd give it a shot -- it was fantastic! Everything was fresh and delicious, smelled nice, tasted great. Very clean, flavorful, enjoyable meal. I highly recommend! read more

So good, love this place consistently! Buddha Soup is fire!

I've been going to this spot for years and still continue to love it! It's been a great go-to when I transitioned to fully plant-based and wanted some junk food like the chicken nuggets! Yum! read more

Have ordered here many times. The vegetarian chicken nuggets with sauce are to die for. The delivery always comes very quickly, and it's also relatively inexpensive. read more

I cannot believe this food was vegetarian! I ordered from seamless and my food was soooo good. I've given up meat but sometimes still crave it and this will deff be my go to! Everything was so flavorful and season so well you're forget it's not meat. I ordered vegetarian beef and broccoli I can't express again how perfectly it was cooked. The wonton soup was also amazing. I don't know how they do it lol but I can't wait to order my vegetarian food again. read more

I order here a lot, take out, dine in, and pick up. Service is great and the the delivery is on time. Here are my suggestions: - Boneless Rib fried rice (tastes JUST like the pork pieces in tradition fried rice with the red sauce that coats eat piece). Really good! - Pan Fried Noodles... yes even in delivering they stay crispy and they are courteous enough to separate it. I just ask in the comments when I order on grubhub that they leave out the wood ears(always not been a fan of those) and they do leave them out when requested. - Chicken Nuggets.. crispy goodness. -Garden soup has a great clear broth with garlic and great for a hot day. read more

We ordered from here last night but have been avid customers for years. My order normally consists of crispy nuggets and tater tots but I also tried their spring rolls and mushrooms and broccoli last night. Yum yum all around! read more

I have been eating here for YEARS!! I have moved from the area and still go back just to eat here 10 out of 10

Excellent vegetarian food, especially the 'chicken' nuggets and bbq spareribs lo mein. Buddha Noodle soup and scallion pancakes are also tops. Love this place! read more

My girlfriend and I ordered take out from Vegetarian Palate tonight and it was by far one of the worst take-out experiences ever. We ordered through seamless and waited way to long for the order to be delivered. My General Tso Chicken was slimy and had the texture of a sponge; and my girlfriend's Buddha Rice Soup was bland. I quickly called the restaurant and was handed over to the owner who was arrogant and quickly became rude. I explained to him that the dish was slimy and seemed old and he told me that the dish wasn't very good for take-out but was excellent for dining-in. Needless to say that didn't make much sense to me as he continued to spout off and tell me that he can't please everyone. When I proceeded to tell him that it tasted old and soggy he asked me if I was a cook, when I replied that I was not he told me that I was talking like I was a chef. This conversation sounded like something straight out of kitchen nightmares! After getting my fill of this arrogant and condescending behavior I bid him farewell and called seamless. The awesome customer service rep, Austin was extremely helpful and totally understood my issue as we had spent $30 on food that we weren't going to eat. She put me on a quick hold to call the restaurant and got a generous taste of just how rude the owner was. In the end seamless was gracious enough to refund us for our dinner. The moral of this tale: Seamless and those who are running their customer service department are striving to keep their customers happy, however Vegetarian Palate... Not so much.... Don't waste your money. And especially don't bank on take-out tasting anything like dine-in. read more

I'm not a vegetarian but I love the food here. My fav is their Orange chicken w/ brown rice and broccoli. The chicken is sweet, tangy and bursts with flavor. I hear that their mango chicken is pretty good, but I have yet to try it. Oh and their Juices are Delishhh!! The service is pretty good whether you dine in or order to go. Its always clean and quiet and the staff is always friendly. read more

I ordered the mango chicken and it was really flavorful and plentiful - lasted me two days which I was happy about. They didn't have a lot of what I wanted like the Peking duck because they're low on staff which I understand. I would go back and try something else. read more

Not sure why GPS still directs me to their prior address when I try to get directions on Yelp(despite the address written). But I knew better so I google searched it for the proper Washington Ave address. The food here is still amazing after several years. I got my Chicken Curry. I think I will forever love this as long as they don't change the recipe. What I miss was the broccoli. I think broccoli used to be included prior. I also ordered the crispy nugget which I thought were appetizers but surprisingly it came with rice and broccoli. Sadly when I got home, there was no sauce on the nuggets. Had to use the duck sauce. Nuggets were delicious but not sure how they expected me to eat dry nuggets with dry rice and broccoli. (1 star lost for that). If there was suppose to be a special sauce...it wasn't included or offered. The mango chicken seem to have plenty of raves maybe I will try that the next time. read more

This was so delicious! I tried about half the menu. The food is phenomenal. The waitstaff is friendly. Edit: Thank you for replying! I moved, or I would have tried everything. My favorite is the mango chicken. I hope to be back to Brooklyn soon to come here again! :) read more

I'm very lucky that this place is a 5 min walk from my apartment. Really helped my transition of going plant based.

First and last time I order from here. Like no seasoning, taste like trash, couldn't pay me to eat here. Never had bad vegetarian food like this. Spent 14 bucks, ate two bites, and threw it away. Now ordering something else. Ordered General Tao read more

This restaurant used to be in a more mainstream and accessible location. A friend just guided me to rediscover them in their "new" less visible location, albeit with better parking. The food is clean and nourishing. Whether you are cleansing, raw, vegan, vegetarian, or omnivore Vegetarian Palate has foods/juices and preparation styles that can satisfy your special needs. Although I avoid soy now, their Chickn' Nuggets satisfied me when I first transitioned from the Standard American Diet to natural foods. I wish they would open in Hoboken, Jersey City, or somewhere in NJ! read more

Finally made it to the VP...got my usual; chicken nuggets and mango chicken....perhaps this was their off nite- :-(. Wasn't impressed. Given, I'm a little under the weather, it didn't taste how I thought it would've tasted especially for somn' I didn't have in MONTHS. O well, u win some u lose some. read more

Hit or miss. Major hit, the curry stew! And the perfectly made fresh salad. Misses: the spring roll sampler and hot and sour soup and general tso. Flavors and textures were way off. read more
