    Veggie Grill - downtown Portland, OR We're in Pdx for a few days. Sooo many places to try, new and old, so little time lol. While we can eat Veggie Grill in Seattle, tonight we opted for convenience as Veggie Grill is within a few minutes walk of our hotel and I've been jonesing their Pan Seared Salmon protein plate ever since it was first announced but haven't had the chance to stop by Veggie Grill locally. We got a bit carried away with ordering too much, which isn't unusual when going to Veggie Grill lol, it almost seems sacrilegious to go there and not order some variety of Mac and Cheese . Everything was great, VG never disappoints . The cheese bites were great, haven't had them before .. pretty sure it's a relatively new offering. The center was soft and cheesy and nicely balanced with the dipping sauce. The Seared Salmon had a great flavor. If I'm being honest, I didn't find it to be very reminiscent of salmon, there was no flakiness associated with salmon, this dish had more of a vegan spam feel/ texture. This was my observation but it's not intended as a critique, just my objective take. The dish was really good, very flavorful, the color was reminiscent of salmon and there was a subtle but noticeably pleasant seafood-y after-taste on the back end. I have to mention how friendly and personable everyone was. We've always found staff at VG and Next Level to be friendly but everyone tonight just seemed really genuinely approachable and friendly. Kelsey took our order for us and chatting with her really felt like we were in a place where we belonged, a vegan home away from home, an extra touch that was really appreciated. So my recommendation is ... come for the food, come for the camaraderie, and then stay way too long because you're gingerly nursing a food coma from ordering and eating too much .

    Kimchi "Steak" Bowl
    Isaac A.

    Ordered kimchi steak bowl and green smoothie. Great full menu with variety of options. Ingredients felt high quality and fresh. Flavors were solid. Wish there was more "steak" - felt barely there. The smoothie was filling and delicious!

    Meh, good portion though.

    Still the same after more than a decade since my last visit. Know that just because it's vegetarian doesn't mean it's good for you. The Sonoran Bowl was filling, but it's probably one of their more expensive options. I'd pass on this one. I just didn't feel good after eating.

    Damn. This really was a pleasant surprise. I heard that Portland was a Mecca for veganism and vegetarianism. I can see why. It's organic and it's delicious. Yes. The service here was efficient and direct. I knew what I was going to get. Were there crowds?? Nope. It was nice not having a a loud crowd make a bunch of noise The real amazing part was trying something different. You think that oh a regular Buffalo chicken wrap going to be the only good tasting one. Not when you're here. When you make that order, when you get that wrap, you are in for a different experience. Will it 100% replace my like for chicken? Probably not. But it was so worth it. Awesome job!

    I'm not even vegan. I ate here because my wife is, and let me tell you as a carnivore I WAS DECIEVED. I got the Carne Asada taco's. I talked to the manager who explained the meat was seiten. I've heard about it before, but this was the first time actually trying it. I kid you not, it had the texture and taste of meat. Also had the lemonade which was pretty good too.

    Ok, so I reduced a star from the 5 stars I left for the Cedar Hills location, and I will explain why. This Downtown location doesn't have outdoor seating, yet, according to my friend, it did in the past. Secondly, it doesn't offer the comfortable boothes you will find in Cedar Hills. The chairs are typical, hard, not so comfy chairs. They did appear to have half boothes up top, but that area was unfortunately closed off. I also noticed the back door was boarded up, perhaps there was a burglary? I hope they relocate to the burbs honestly, where looking and paying for parking is a non issue. So on to the food finally. I ordered the Sunrise burger because it's a limited time only offering. I don't like that the burgers come alacart, I feel that fries should come automatically for a $16 vegan burger. While I am not a fan of the beyond burger patty they use if it was by itself (though BB's ground beef vs the patty is better), it's still a 5 star vegan burger because they load it with so much good stuff that all just works so well together! The BB patty alongside the plant based bacon, the plant based cheese, the dressing, the bun (they don't use the crap buns), together it was all sooo super good. Oh and how could I forget the egg!? The egg didn't really have flavor, but it looked like an egg! And it added a different texture since it was prepared sunny side up, so quite runny, not sure how I feel about that either way- Grade A The fish tacos continue to be tasty. You only get 2 small ones because it's an appetizer. I just wish they were also offered in a wheat tortilla, or a tastier corn tortilla. My entire life I've only ever once had a good corn tortilla. They're pretty much the same everywhere. - Grade B My friend had a Chicken Caesars Salad. I mentioned before I don't like their chicken strips. I still don't like their chicken in any form. Too bad because I've liked vegan chicken before. - Grade C- Lastly, I've had a partial change of heart about their Korean steak dish. I liked it when my friend ordered it. But when you have a bite of something, it's not the same as eating all of it. It really is too spicy. While it was ordered with the orange sauce on the side, that wasn't the sauce that was spicy apparently. Most of the spice is in the steak part, and that's the best part! I will ask if it can be made less spicy if possible. - Grade A+ if it can be made less spicy, otherwise C- The Belgian chocolate cake was once again very creamy, rich, and delicious, but I forgot to take a photo this time.- Grade A

    Vegan bowl with blistered cherry tomatoes, Just Egg, butternut squash, kale, mushrooms, and quinoa

    I forgot how good this place was. It's a great spot for vegan food, whether you're looking for something on the healthier side or want something approximating junk food. The bowls are a good option for the former. I got something that looked like bibimbap complete with a Just Egg (surprisingly authentic). The specials menu also changes pretty regularly. My one gripe is the prices - if you order a protein plate, you're looking at about $25, which is kind of steep for a weekday lunch - inflation notwithstanding.

    Kayla our server was super nice and professional. The Food was very good and my group had 17 people all vegetarian or vegan. We all enjoyed our meals and smoothies. This restaurant was clean, bright and busy. Thank you!

    Tofu Zen Bowl

    Got the Tofu Zen Bowl and it was honestly so good. Super fresh, the tofu had great flavor, and everything just tasted really clean. Also looked amazing. Definitely coming back.

    Far East Thai Chick'n Bowl
    Lisa L.

    First time coming in. Enjoyed our meals, the bowls were good and tasty. Far east chik'n was our favorite, the flavors were good and the crispy chik'n was yummy. Staff was friendly, we came after 1:00 on a Saturday, it was quite busy so be patient, as it seemed there is not a lot of staff.

    I walked in and ordered food on a Wednesday at 11:21, it's 11:55 and I'm still waiting for my food...watching the ppl that ordered after me eat and have a smoothie delivered to them....now ppl that ordered 10min after me are eating at 11:57???? I'm confused Food delivered to wrong table..I watched this happen, brought to me with no napkins.

    Come here to grab quick meal which is not really quick at all. Lol. Parking street available only. Homeless hanging outside this business and a bit scary. Tsssk. Food: Super Green & Quinoa Salad (no protein) Dressing on The Side - was so good. Tasty and refreshing. Love how they prepare it. The colors in my bowl is so festive! Sweet Potato Fries (chipotle aioli sauce) - my favorite indeed! Light crisp from the outside and love snackin' them while we are driving back to our hotel. Sauce is fantastic, perfect pair for the fries. Crispy Cauliflower in Buffalo Sauce - has a good crisp on it and seasoned well. Love the texture and would definitely order this in here again. Service is slow. They are not that busy at the time and for the few order we put in took them more than 25mins. Would try the other location maybe... Mahalo for reading and happy juandering fellow yeeps!

Their tap list is extensive but also includes non-standard options. We love to see non-alcoholic beers as well as gluten free beer, cider, cocktails, and other libations. The food menu is great too. There are several items that either come gluten free or can be modified to be. The servers are knowledgeable about the ingredients of the menu items and I feel confident and safe eating here when gluten free is a need for me. They can get pretty crowded, but have several seating options. It was nice out today so outdoor seating was even possible, though it looked like there was a wait. There are tvs in several spots that showcase local sports when possible. There is a kids area and you can sit close while the kids play. Everyone we come in contact with here from servers to hosts are super friendly and welcoming. The food is pretty good. This time around, we shared the garlic Parmesan fries and the chicken wings (buffalo and honey gojuchang sauces). The wings were smoked and moist with good flavor. The fries were alright. More of the aioli would have helped so maybe request extra sauce or get some on the side. The dessert menu has some non-traditional offerings. The highlight for me was the cheesecake. I was assured by a server one time that the chef creates a gluten free cheesecake that rotates on the seasonal dessert menu. The current offering is tiramisu. The coffee chocolate sauce is good and I appreciated the bonus chocolate chip biscotti. The actual cheesecake is decent and I would be excited to try other flavors in the future.

The salmon benedict, although highly recommended by the waitress, was extremely fishy, even though the "hollandaise sauce" (which had no depth of flavor, and was just thick) covered the entirety of the egg, salmon, and english muffin. It came with cheesy hash browns which again had no depth of flavor. Cheese makes anything tasty but it was just too much. The service, while friendly, was not attentive. We were unsure who our server was and I had to flag down the server for the bill and then to take my card 10 minutes later.
