Excellent food, decent service and unpretentious ambiance. One needs to order on an iPad, and the server then brings the food to you. My father and I ordered the glass noodles, spring rolls, and dumplings. While all three items were excellent, the spring rolls stood out. The dipping sauce was particularly delicious. Service was exceptionally quick, and the server was kind enough to recommend a good boba place nearby The ambiance is not spectacular, but it was almost charming in its charmlessness. Restroom was clean. Overall, I recommend Veggie House for its excellent food and quick service. read more

Veggie House - Vegan Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Thank goodness for Veggie House! I wasn't sure what vegan options would be around Chinatown Square. This is located in a cute area filled with various Boba shops, gift shops, restaurants, and herbal places. The Veggie House Dumplings had a tasty mixture of carrots, red cabbage, spinach, and beetroot skin. I was also pleased that it came with a few florets of broccoli for garnish. The dumplings sat in a sauce. I forget what is sprinkled on top, but take a look at this picture and see if you can guess. https://yelp.to/4naUahh6DC Crispy Turmeric Oyster Mushroom was yummy! Came out piping hot, perfect fried texture, and chewy mushroom. The batter was flavorful too. https://yelp.to/jTJ4UBiCYH The restaurant is spacious and clean. Service was pretty fast and I enjoyed my meal. I would likely visit this place again if ever in the Chicaco Chinatown area. read more

I was really excited to go to a Chinese vegetarian/vegan restaurant as it can be difficult to find places like this. However, quoting Review Bruh, "My day is ruined, and my disappointment is immeasurable." The vegetables were cooked perfectly, but the food was bland. I thought it might just be what I ordered, but my friend said the same thing about the dumplings and orange tofu she ordered. read more

Amazing food! I am vegan and wanted to go here but was with non vegans and ended up being the only spot we could get a seat that night! My friends loved it despite being meat eaters! Also the service was crazy fast especially considering how much we got! We got eggplant, pad Thai, Singapore noodles, one of the mock chicken dishes, spring rolls, and orange tofu! I couldn't stop eating!! read more

Overall: Solid vegetarian/vegan chinese food, some of the food you won't be able to tell is plant based! Great option if you have these dietary restrictions or are looking to follow a plant-based diet without compromising flavor. I'm not vegetarian or vegan, but i came here to eat with vegan family. The restaurant was clean. Service was really friendly, fast, and accomodating. Highly recommend the turmeric "chicken" appetizer and the mongolian soy beef. The salt and pepper shrimp was also great, and it tasted and felt a lot like shrimp despite being plant-based. Some of the dishes' flavors and textures won't be exactly like their animal-based counterparts, but I really enjoyed eating here as someone who eats meat. Highly recommend! read more

Dude. This place is amazing for vegetarians. We had a meat eater w us and he agreed it was incredible. Highly recommend. Service is fast and friendly.

While I don't have dietary restrictions, I'm so glad for this spot and will gladly come back to this casual spot! There was a wide range of options, both centering veggies and centering plant-based "meat" dishes. There wasn't a dish that I didn't enjoy, but I would definitely recommend the braised mushrooms - they were a standout dish! Service was speedy and attentive. Highly recommend! read more

Stopped in for a quick dinner the other night and sampled the fried dumplings and the Kung Pao "chicken" stir fry. I was surprised to discover that the "chicken" was actually breaded mushroom--a creative twist that turned out to be interesting. Both dishes were delicious, and the service was friendly and efficient. The ambiance is casual - you order on an iPad at the table and then pay at the counter. I'd definitely return to explore more of the menu. read more

Always happy coming to Veggie House. We have gotten to go orders, but mostly dined in. Always great experiences! The food always comes out hot and fresh with large portions. Our favorite order is to get the vegan beef fried rice, soy beef and broccoli, and the vegan orange chicken (made with mushrooms). The staff is always pleasant as well! We will continue to visit Veggie House! Best vegan Chinese food in all of Chicago by far. We just wish they had some more dessert options, but we are happy regardless. A+ read more

I loved every bite! I went for my birthday and got 10% off! But I wanted to try a vegan Chinese restaurant as I've not found any in Chicago. I lucked up on this place. The service was good, and the food...chefs kiss! I had the veggie fried rice, spring rolls, fried cauliflower and fried oyster mushrooms. I even tried some vegan sesame balls. It was an acquired taste but I ended up liking it. I can't wait to go back! read more

This was my first visit to Veggie House, and I was very pleased with the food! This is a vegetarian restaurant that offers vegan options. We ordered two dishes; Plant-based Orange Chicken made with king oyster mushrooms and the Singapore Noodles. Both dishes were super yummy. I could literally order the same dishes for dinner today. I thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Can't wait to return! read more

We had two dishes at veggie house. One was amazing, one was so bad we couldn't finish it. The wonton soup was very disappointing. It tasted like a mildly seasoned bland broth with frozen dumplings, not wontons. For$8 for a small bowl, it was so disappointing. The kung pao tofu on the other hand was exceptionally good!!! The veggies were crisp, the tofu was crispy and not dried out, and the sauce was sticky and rich. So overall, I would go back. I saw some other dishes at tables around me that looked good. But would be conservative and not order a ton because of the big margin of quality between the two dishes. read more

My friends and I wanted to visit Chicago's Chinatown again and decided to hit Veggie House, an all-vegan/vegetarian Chinese restaurant! Food: tasty! But admittingly, it is not the most filling, and I am not sure if these portions could be considered "family style." - Orange "Chicken" made with King Oyster Mushrooms: (5/5) For context, I am usually a mushroom hater, but I was pleasantly surprised by this dish and would order it again. It was drenched in sauce, and I thought it was interesting how they added literal orange slices and chunks to enhance the flavor (a bit on the citrus side). It was definitely a nice touch! I wish the portions were bigger; it might be more appropriate for one person rather than sharing with a group of 4. - Spicy Buffalo Cauliflower: (5/5) Looking back, I think I would have preferred if they made it with tofu, but cauliflower is fine too! The sauce they provided was spicy and sweet/sour, and the texture was good and crisp. It also had little rice cracker (?) bits on the bottom too. Service/Ambiance: There was ample seating, and the restaurant was spacious. Maybe it was because we came on a weekday, but it was quiet, and there weren't too many customers. The workers were friendly enough but didn't check up often, but it was not a big deal at all. Maybe it's because Chicago is generally more expensive, but I did find the prices to be on the higher end, especially the strictly veggie dishes. Likewise, I was shocked that they only gave my group a small bowl of rice when most (if not all) Asian restaurants I've been to would have provided a pot of rice. read more

I'm so happy that we found this spot in Chinatown. It's always a little harder to find vegetarian friendly spots so I was super excited to see an all vegetarian menu. We got the dumplings and sweet and sour tofu. Both were very good and I loved the texture of the tofu! read more

This was a cute little spot in Chinatown that's a very solid option that is veggie centric. The braised eggplant was on point and had all the garlic and spice flavor for a soft textured dish. The dumplings were okay, not my favorite, I prefer meat dumplings for sure which means I would order something else the next time I come. The mayo tofu is another classic that was spot on and had just the right about of spicy level. The shitske mushroom was delicious, I've never had a dish like that before either the fried mushrooms. The salt and pepper were just right and not overpowering. The iPad ordering was also very helping to review all the options read more

Food was delicious!! The restaurant was busy but granted, it was a Saturday afternoon. Our orders came out literally immediately (probably 5-10 minutes, IF that). Service was incredibly fast and always seems to be a reliable staple in Chinatown. read more

If you're vegan or vegetarian and find yourself in Chinatown, this place might be the only place-- but keep your expectations low. The food was underwhelming: vegetables came out either too soggy or undercooked, and most dishes had a mushy texture. Service was fine, though tip is automatically added to your bill. The ambiance is pretty bare-bones and honestly doesn't justify the price. read more

My party of 3 came in on a Saturday evening and were seated quickly. It was busy but there were a couple of tables opening up. Our server brought water and told us to order off of an iPad. Some might find this strange, but I like the freedom of being able to browse at your own pace and order when you're ready (there's also a button to press for assistance/water/bill). We ordered fried potstickers as an appetizer, which I would skip next time. But the 3 entrees we ordered were absolutely killer. We could not stop raving about how delicious it all was. We ordered the orange chicken (which was actually mushroom), Mongolian soy beef, and Kung Pao Tofu. There were no leftovers because we vacuumed it all up! They're pretty sizable portions too. We ordered sesame balls for dessert, which were nutty and sweet and the perfect cap to the meal. I will be dreaming about this meal until I can come back and eat it all again. This is amazing vegan Chinese food, I'm so grateful to have a stellar vegan option in Chinatown. read more

The most excellent vegan food. You must come here. Everything, everything was fresh, original and tasty. A little heavy handed in the salt. But still.... the caliber of the food surpasses that minute obstacle. A definite place to stop if you are a hungry vegan. Prices are also reasonable. Staff were nice with smiles at all times. I wish I could share photos pictures but eating the good food with excellent company prevented me from taking the pictures. read more

Had the sweet and sour mushrooms which was soaked in sauce and the coating for the fried mushrooms was soggy and overall the dish was cold. Mushrooms tasted slimy. Told the server he didn't seem to care. I typically would have sent it back, but I was just so over it! The crab ragoon I had was just OK. White rice was $2 for a tiny bowl. $3.25 for a can of ginger ale ...GTFOH...Not worth the price point. Very disappointing. Will not return. It's rare I don't take home my leftovers when dinning out, but those sweet and sour mushrooms went to the trash where they belonged. And further more, I also had to pay for parking.... I have grown tired of vegan/vegetarian restaurants and their accelerated prices and basic/mediocre food. And they wonder why so many of them can't stay in business... ugh read more

Vegetarian food has no business being so good! This is easily my top choice for healthy food in Chinatown now. The servers were very friendly, and ordering on the tablet was helpful when eating family style. The Taiwan noodles were a hit with the table, but my favorite was the black pepper tofu. Fair warning: Most of the food was at least a little spicy. The interior of the restaurant is fine, nothing that would impress or merit dressing up for. But good food matters most, in my opinion, and this place has it! read more

i was so happy to find a vegetarian chinese restaurant while exploring chinatown :) i was seated quickly, and given an ipad for ordering to expedite the process. i ordered the spicy dumplings, which were nothing short of delicious! the peanuts added a nice crunch to the veggies, and i loved the depth of the chili oil used. the fried turmeric oyster mushrooms were such a fun sweeter buffalo wing type alternative. overall, would come again :) read more

This place used to be so good! Did it change owners or chef or something? I sold this option to my vegetarian friends for dinner and we were all unimpressed by the 6 items we tried. The appetizers were better than the entrees. The crab Rangoon and spring rolls were good. But the bean sauce tofu mushroom dish was too chewy. The Korean noodles were completely bland. And the red rice was absolutely dried out. The egg tofu was the one item we liked. After spending $100 on dinner, we were all munching on other snacks later, because this left us unsatisfied. read more

Really surprised to find a vegetarian and partially vegan venue in China town, just a short ride from my hotel. Came with a vegetarian colleague and we found the menu a bit unclear as it wasn't apparent which items were vegan vs vegetarian. It was also set up to order from a tablet which isn't my favorite. The food we did order was better than I expected and the servings were more than sufficient. The salad options I saw online prior to going were unfortunately sold out (or perhaps not regularly available?). The ambience was odd as the music was super cheesy romance pop songs, at a veg/vegan venue in China town. Didn't understand that combo at all! read more

This is first vegan restaurant I've tried in Chicago's Chinatown. After a indecisive search for a vegan, Veggie House was the choice. The place was pleasant, clean and inviting. We were directed to a table and a tablet to browse through the menu and to place our orders. We ordered sweet and sour chicken: which was crispy and chewy and tasted good but noticed that the chicken nugget was a small piece of cut mushroom deep fried in batter (mostly fried batter). Beef fried rice was surprisingly good, better than I thought it would be. Mongolian beef was surprisingly flavorful with the mixture of green onions, red chili, dried noodles, which was tasty. The overall dining experience was great, they had pretty decent portions, a little pricey but overall it was a great first vegan experience in Chinatown. Would definitely like to try more on their menu, worth a repeat visit. read more

Food was great! The vegan crab rangoon and Singapore noodles were amazing, and the Kung Pao vegan chicken was awesome as well. The lion's mane mushroom dish was okay for me, but that's just because I'm not a fan of that type of mushroom. Overall, it's a really good place with tasty food and good service. The ambiance isn't fancy, but I'd definitely recommend it, especially for vegetarians who miss non-veg-style flavors. read more

There were soooo many things I wanted to try from Veggie House, but we stopped by so many places in Chinatown I had to just choose 1 dish so I wasn't too full. I'm so glad I decided on the Kung Pao Tofu because it was the best tofu I've ever had!!! I have a low spicy tolerance, but it was too spicy at all. I still thought it was so good. Even my non-vegetarian boyfriend loved it too. Although this is a sit down restaurant, you order on an ipad which I didn't love. The ambiance inside was casual and pretty quiet, but I enjoyed my food so much I really want to go back. read more

I had see a lot of good reviews about this vegan spot. As a vegetarian, it caught my eve and really wanted to try it since it difficult to find good Asian vegetarian friendly food. It's located right in the China house square about 5 min walk from the red line station. We went here for a lunch just the two of us. Service here is great! The server brought us a tablet to put in our order and the food came out pretty quickly. We had the crab rangoons, steamed dumplings, and for the main dish we had the the pad Thai. The crab rangoon and dumplings were great. Ordering the pad Thai is where I think we went wrong. The noodles were absolutely doused in a sauce that was too sweet and too sticky. If you do plan to go here, I say don't get the pad Thai but the apps were great! read more

So tasty I didn't believe it was vegan. Every dish we had was on point!! I had the Kung Pao "Beef" and it was a delight.

I've been here twice and the food has always been pretty solid; not mind-blowing but will satisfy your meatless cravings for a typically meat-centric cuisine. After all, I believe this is the only fully vegan/vegetarian restaurant in Chinatown, so major props to that. It's also much less busy than all the other restaurants in the new Chinatown square--both times I've been here, during an otherwise bustling weekend afternoon, it's been pretty empty with no wait. I've tried the following dishes, all of which were solid (**= especially recommend): - Fried turmeric wood ear mushrooms**: Amazing crispy texture and flavor - House tofu** - Mongolian soy beef: The soy beef was well sautéed and had a nice meat-like texture, though a little lacking in flavor - Veggie dumplings - Spicy dumplings: This dish was the weakest compared to the rest, in my opinion and also wasn't spicy The prices are pretty reasonable and comparable to other Asian vegan restaurants I've come across. The service is friendly, and the restaurant is quiet, clean and neatly decorated. -- Price (relative to peers): 4.5/5 Food: 4/5 Ambience: 4/5 Overall Value: 4.5/5 read more
