This review is based solely on the mango chicken. It's to die for! It actually comes in two mango shells which to me adds to the great flavor. I've also had the general tso's chicken but wasn't impressed. read more

So, the soy chicken nuggets are the crispiest things I've ever had. The salt and pepper soy chicken tenders are crispy and oh my god I'm drooling right now. They are just to die for. They are the perfect snack food. I love them. They come with the most amazing barbecue sauce as well. Wasn't a huge fan of uh, well, anything else, because I don't quite remember the other foods my friends and I ordered. They weren't as remarkable as the godly fake chicken appetizers. But my friends seemed to think so. So! Yes, wonderful fake meat stuff, they do it right, they do it friiiied. Minus one star for being really expensive and having a delivery guy with a bad attitude. read more

The delivery man handed me my food with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. I mean, you can't get any more disrespectful than that. Oh, and the food was mediocre! Won't order from here again. read more

This is vegetarian comfort food. The portions are enormous (be prepared) and the service is friendly and very fast. It all tastes rather good, but it's a bit oily and salty. Perfect food to brighten up your wintry mood. Enjoy (agree with other yelpers - order the "chicken" nuggets) read more

Good juices, pretty terrible food. Lots of fried non-food creations of fake meats that leave you feeling bloated and icky. We had two of the juice blends which were extremely delicious and well priced at $4.50, then had two appetizers (Tofu rolls and Banana Chicken Rolls) both were okay at best. Very fried, very tasteless otherwise. For the entree we shared the peking duck and tangerine beef, the duck came with flour tortillas and not crepes and the duck was tofu skin fried without much flavor and just disappointing. Canned lychees/pineapples. The tangerine beef was better but it would have been better if they didn't fry the beef with the already greasy sauce too much grease. read more

Absolutely delicious! I have been a vegetarian for the last couple of years and honestly have had my share of meaty cravings. I had no idea that a vegetarian meal could taste as real (but so much yummier) as traditional chinese food. The pork fried rice was divine.. the mango chicken, so scrumptious,.. and the chicken nuggets--- amazing! Highly recommend. Look forward to ordering soon. read more

If I wasn't such a buffalo wing connoisseur I perhaps would dabble in the vegetarian lifestyle. No who am I kidding? I love me some meat! But I also like soy products that make me believe that I'm biting into a baby animal with a little less guilt. I love this place. They seem to deliver everywhere. O.K. well they deliver to Crown Heights and Fort Greene and for me that's all that really matters in the world. If Charlie Sheen ate their soy chicken nuggets he would say that they are winning, tiger blood, epic pieces of crispy soy goddess goodness. I almost get sad when I eat Morningstar nuggets at home, knowing that they will never compare to my beloved Vegetarian Palate nuggets. Also good on the menu are the spring chicken rolls, mango chicken and my all time favorite curry chicken ( soy chicken, potatoes, broccoli, in a curry coconut sauce). Dine in service is quick and friendly! Good stuff. read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat vegan/vegetarian food. Even non- vegetarians enjoy the food. I've been a customer for 15 years. And customer service is excellent. read more

My friend Sade, took me here because she knows I am vegetarian and she used to eat here. I loved my meal I had sesame chicken w/brown rice it was so good. I had a cold so I order this vitamin c drink which was okay (I didn't get the "cold burst"). Sade ordered general tso's chicken which was good too and my other friend order this shrimp dish which she did not like and wished she had ordered what we had ordered. All in all it was a good experience and service was good too. read more

Awful. Just awful. I have never had vegetarian Chinese/Thai this awful in my entire life. I have no idea what the fake meats are made out of (we got a chicken dish and a rib dish and both tasted and looked exactly the same), but the inside is cold, mushy and has the flavor and texture of styrofoam. The sauce for the lemon chicken was too bitter to eat. The veggie lo mein was the only thing that we didn't throw out immediately. Waste of time, money, and calories. Overwhelmingly disappointed. If you're reading this, Vegetarian Palate chefs? Learn about seitan. Because whatever you're using for your meat substitutes is incredibly disgusting. read more

I get take out here atleast once a week. Right now my favorites are the wonton soup and the peking rib appetizer. So good. The customer service is great and they deliver very quickly. read more

Just recently got weighed and the results suggested that I need to go back to my old vegetarian ways. Unfortunately, our family often has to order out when the schedule gets too busy. Often times this means greasy General Tso's chicken from down the street. With waistline creep becoming and issue that's a trend that can't continue. So I was excited to find a vegetarian Chinese place that delivered to the hood. We ordered the sesame soy chicken, the Singapore mei fun, the spicy shitake mushroom with duck, and some rolls. The only thing we weren't too keen on were the rolls. The filling of the rolls were kind of mushy. They tasted OK, but the texture wasn't happening. However, the other dishes were delicious and spot on. The portion size would easily feed two people. The veggies were crisp and cooked to perfection. Having a vegetarian version of Singapore mei fun is a prayer answered for me. They offer delivery through seamlessweb.com which proved fast and efficient. read more

I like that this vegetarian/vegan place is in the area. However, what I ordered was tasteless. I ordered crispy tofu and miso soup. The crispy tofu come in the shape of HUGE balls. The outside is crispy but the tofu inside is wet and mushy. Seems like they didn't strain the tofu before using it... doesn't even seem like they used firm tofu. It was absolutely tasteless and mushy. Gross really. The sauce they gave me for it was tasty. The miso soup was mediocre at best. I hate the kind of sea weed they used. I'm going to give this place a few more tries because maybe I just ordered duds. I will update again when I do. read more

Oh my goodness, how I love Vegetarian Palate! How did I live in this neighborhood for a whole six months before discovering them? In the space of two weeks I've ordered from them three times. The crispy nuggets - otherwise known as "OMG CRISPIES" - are just as addicting as other reviewers say. They are even good cold out of the fridge the next day! Just make sure to dunk them in the sauce that comes with them. I also tried the hot and sour soup-- twice, the tangerine beef-- twice, and the mango chicken, just to change it up a little. The hot and sour soup is really incredible - it's got all kinds of good veggies, mushrooms (little straw ones and the scary ones I refuse to put in my mouth), tofu, and mysterious protein things. The tangerine beef is a pile of slices of chewy "meat" in a sorta-sweet, sorta-spicy sauce that also tastes great the next day. Why do I keep going on about leftovers? Oh, because they give you an impossibly large amount of food. I'm talking dinner for me AND my roommate, and still enough left over for both of us. The only downside is that two of the three times I've ordered they've gone over their stated delivery time. I wish they'd just increase the estimated time so that I wouldn't be anxiously waiting. To get around this problem we are planning to make a trip to the actual restaurant -- THAT'S how much we like it! read more

Being that I am not a vegetarian, I was a bit nervous about dinner. I like this place, because it's small and very cozy. The crispy nuggets were pretty good. I wasn't impressed with the Nobu Chicken Teriyaki and wound up taking the majority of the meal home so it wouldn't go to waste. I might try something else on the menu if I ever get the chance to dine here again. read more

I ordered with some hesitation. But I was lazy and wanted to use GrubHub, Im in Clinton Hill, so good luck getting affordable Asian food via delivery using online ordering. I wont be ordering from here again. It wasnt disgusting, but it was merely sustenance for the night. Maybe I ordered the wrong things, Hoisin Roll (a mushy inside made of..um. I guess, mush, surrounded by Spring Roll skin, which even greasy and crisp didn't hide the mush. I got Crispy noodle with Buddha vegetable which - I admit - wasn't awful, but it had a variety of Asian mushrooms I happen not to like. So after picking out the mushrooms, I had a few pieces of broccoli and water chestnuts in brown sauce left. Best part of meal: eating the crispy noodles with a bit of brown sauce and some of my own soy sauce thrown in. I admit, this is a boring review, but my meal was boring. And mushy. Try to find somewhere better. OR - dont order the hoisin roll, no matter what ! read more

Food is great! I come here when I'm craving Chinese faves, that I obviously cant depend on the local Chinese spots for b/c I'm a vegetarian duhhh! lol...Newho, the "spare ribs" are good, as well as their: "salt and pepper nuggets, sesame chicken, spring rolls, corn chowder, and seaweed soup". However, the first time my friend and I came here for an early lunch, we forgot to tip the server and he chased us down outside and told us: "hey...you know you didn't tip me?" and then rolled his eyes! It was an honest mistake...we went inside and gave him 6 bucks, but that left a bitter taste in out mouths after such a delightful meal! So now I just call in my orders and take my food to go! lol read more

I like this place. We ordered an array of items: the budha vegetables, chicken nuggets, brown rice, curry chicken and scallion pancakes. Everything was delish. The delivery was fast, took approximately 20 minutes. I didn't care for the corn soup, but everything else was good and the servings were huge. So much so, that we had left overs. Next time I'm in Brooklyn, I will definitely eat at Vegetarian Palate! read more

Consistently underwhelmed by VEg Palate. I want to love them but no. The hot and sour soup is tasty. I'm into vegetables but not so much seitan or tofu is the problem. All veggie dishes are swimming in sweet, cloying sauces. I've tried ordering off menu too and asking for 'garlic' sauce or similar but still no. The eggplant dish is tasty but works more as a side because too much eggplant is not The Business. read more

wow - shockingly bad Ordered delivery general tso chicken and it was flavorless, grey & the texture was like goo. The spinach dumplings were also bland ... really recommend you avoid at all costs **edit the pad Thai tastes like its main ingredient is ketchup read more

This is place is pretty awesome if you are in the mood for fake meat, especially fried & breaded. The entire menu is veggie. The menu is ridiculously similar to Vegetarian Paradise 2 in the Village, and they have Crispy Nuggets that are IDENTICAL to VP2's Crispy Soul Chick'n (right down to the dipping sauce)!!! They have some excellent dishes, but I was not a big fan of the Spare Ribs or the Crispy Fish Divine (although it tasted better when I re-heated it the next day). Corn Chowder was great, the rolls are awesome (the curry roll is my fav) and I did enjoy the Scallion Pancakes (not too greasy). But I can't help myself, I always end up with at least an appetizer of the Crispy Nuggets. I would prefer VP2, but I live in Brooklyn, and Vegetarian Palate delivers to me :D Portions are HUGE, prices are fair, slightly cheaper than VP2 and they also use www.seamlessweb.com for online ordering. Delivery is pretty fast, so is service in the restaurant. The decor is not too fancy, so maybe not the best place to bring a date you're trying to impress. read more

I have to say right off the bat - I wasn't too impressed. This place is basically a vegetarian version of an Asian restaurant. Nothing wrong with that but the food was a bit mediocre. Since I don't eat soy, my choices are usually limited so I was happy to see that there were plenty of vegetable dishes. I ordered the vegetable tempura that looked very different from the tempura you see in any another Japanese restaurant. The batter was thick and kinda greasy. To the point where I couldn't identify the veggies. Pretty average. That's about all I can say folks read more

Having recently become a Vegan, I was looking for a place that would work for me and my meat-eating husband. The listing for the place was under Chinese/Vegetarian. It was a little deceiving when some of the descriptions had started with "chicken"...or "beef".... so I thought hey, win win! As I read the reviews and went to the website, I was assured that it was a Vegan/Vegetarian. My husband was happy to go anyway. The food was amazing! We started with the crispy chicken nuggets (he loved them), and wonton soup. I had the sesame chicken, and chicken fried rice. My husband had the beef and broccoli spicy noodles (not too spicy). The chocolate mousse was very decadent. The portions are huge! (We took 75% home). The prices were very reasonable. One entree is more than enough for two people, glad we were able to sample plenty of items though..... read more

So for my first time here they missed a portion of my order which she verified before we disconnected. However, the Mango Chicken and Chicken Nuggets are delicious. Mistake Forgiven read more

First time I ordered the food was great and delivered quickly. I ordered again and waited an hour and twenty minutes. I called the restaurant and the girl on the phone said the delivery guy was new and didn't know the area. She said she'd call the delivery guy and find out his ETA. She called back and this time said he was stuck in traffic and would be here "in a minute." I asked how long (still willing to suck it up for good food), and she said never mind he said he's not going to be able to make the delivery. Unacceptable. read more

Hellllllloooooo Delicious! No words can describe the pure joy that came from every aspect of my Vegetarian Palate experience. I was quite overwhelmed by the variety on the menu. They have more fake meat dishes on one menu than I have ever seen. They even have fake fish (salmon, shrimp, eel, etc.) which is hard to come by (and though i didn't try it, i heard great things). The dishes span a huge range of "ethnic" influences: broccoli beef, orange chicken, bbq ribs, chicken tenders, wonton soup, herb roasted chicken, hawaiian chicken, turkey sandwiches. Anything you could possibly crave. I'll probably be eating there multiple times a week for the rest of my life. read more

VegPal delivers to Crown Heights and I love them for this. There aren't a great deal of healthy choices that deliver over here so this makes them one of my favs. They also let u pay w/ ur CC over the phone! The only reason why I didn't give them 5 stars is b/c I've only ever ordered 1 thing: the mango "chicken". So. Freakin'. Goood! I just ordered the sesame chicken... I'll keep you posted. read more

I think that vegetarian palate has been lying to us vegetarians all along, their pseudo-shrimp is wayyyy too meat-like not to be meat. You know what they say, if it looks like a duck and tastes like a duck, it can't be tofu. Vegetarian lobster and paella?? Great selection of health-conscious and innovative dishes, smoothies and desserts. Overall a friendly place. My problem is with the non-existent decor. It's one of those generic pizza-parlor or Chinese food layouts that has no personality and is not "date worthy." Can't they put a few buddhas around or add a carpet? Worth the pilgrimage for die-hard veggies and vegans. Just don't bring your carnivorous significant others. read more

I eat here at least once a month!! for the past 5 years ... i probably have only had not excellent food once in all that time.... try the Malasian Pancakes !!!!

My mum has been a vegetarian for over 10 years and she orders from this place all the time. I have had times where I don't eat meat for a year or so and then I crave a steak. But anyway, whether I'm being a meat eater at the time or not I love this place! I normally get the all the spring rolls, crispy nuggets and the "beef" and broccoli. I have eaten in (at their old and new location) and ordered take out, and I have had not complaints on the food or service. My mum recommends the "ribs" and the paella. read more

The Mango Chicken dish is AMAZING. I have to go there every time I am in Brooklyn. The setting and service is simple. I haven't tried other things on the menue but this dish (which is big enough to share between two people) has wonderful sauce, is served hot and in the shell of the mango whose fruit is in you dish! One of the tastiest vegetarian things I have had ever. yum read more

The food was delicious but the service was very slow. It took about 30 minutes after we finished appetizers to get the main course. We didn't receive our drinks until after we finished the main course. It was Mother's Day so maybe that was a factor. The staff was very nice and as helpful as they could be. I had the vegetable dumplings, spring rolls, and mango chicken. I would definitely try this place again because the food was supurb. read more

First time my Vegetarian boyfriend introduced me to the vegetarian gastronomical world. Those that give high remarks to Wild Ginger and don't hold high remarks for Vegetarian Palate have got it all wrong. Everything from the spring rolls to the entrees were satisfying! Definitely coming back here. read more

Lion's Head. Enough said. Seriously though, I love this place. The aforementioned dish is a must have: textured balls of proteinous goodness sitting on a bed of cooked greens. My stomach is smiling just thinking of them. Other tasty choices include the crispy nuggets (though not very Asian), the vegetarian peking duck ("are you sure this is vegetarian?"), Ebony and Ivory (stir fried mix of mushrooms and other veggies), and the banana chicken rolls (again, not really Asian, but quite delicious). I plan to try everything on the menu before I die, lets just hope we're both around long enough... If you're planning on eating in, know that the decor of the place is a step above Chinese take out. It's pleasant enough, but it certainly isn't going to win any awards. Also, there's no beer or wine, though you're welcome to bring your own. For some, that might be a deterrent, but I think it kind of adds to the charm. When I get there, I place my bottle on the table and the server quickly brings water and wine glasses, and deftly uncorks my wine with a smile on his face. What a joy. The one negative comment I do have is in regard to the rolls (spring rolls, etc.). Though they are tasty, they are way too greasy for my taste. Happily, that can be solved by not ordering them. Easy! Go if you like interesting Asian food; stay if you're a vegetarian. read more

Vegetarian Palate recently moved to my neighborhood. I am happy to see this unique restaurant so near to me. The food is good, service is fine. It is a small restaurant, nice and clean. I think the restaurant has great potential if the owner/operator have a bit more vision, e.g., looking professional, smiling friendly to customers, looking sweet and charming. Even if you sell a lot of take-out but you don't have to appear as a take-out restaurant. Also, I think the food can be a bit less sweet :-) I am looking forward to see the restaurant grow. read more

So I received my order confirmation via seamless at 5:37 and had my food in hand at 6:00. I ordered the mango chicken and curry rolls. Everything was piping hot and extremely fresh tasting. The rolls were solid in that it satisfied my desire for something fried, but it wasn't the most flavorful I've eaten. But the mango chicken.....AMAZING! Tasty, abundant, hot, fresh, just outstanding overall. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because they didn't bring it up. They called and I went down. Not the biggest deal in the world but it's part of the takeout experience when you live in a 4 floor walk-up. Glad I found a high quality vegetarian delivery spot. read more

Dear vevvetarian palate, I Miss you dear. I have ordered many times, you recall, the Mango Chicken. There's nothing better, not here tnot elsewhere. I would literally eat the mango chicken every day, and have tried. Delivery is fast, the food is good, and I may starve after having moved out of their delivery range. Please start deliverying, at least to me. One star off for not deliverying to my new neighborod read more

Great food, love the crispy chicken nuggets and drum stick. The service was exceptional. Small space but it was comfortable and clean
