    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. Parking is convenient in the lot across the street. Bathrooms are clean. Prices are reasonable. Love how they're hella on it with the water! Food's delicious and a few dishes we ordered were spicy, so we were thankful for the frequent water filling! Can't wait til my next trip out to Chicago so I can come back.

    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+

    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!

    Veggie house has always treated me and my sister more than costumers. We have been eating here for years and the quality is always there. This place is amazing with service, food, and ambiance. One of my favorite places to dine in. I love Veggie House!

    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!

    KungPao Stir Fry

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Wonton Soup
    Mari M.

    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.

    The portion sizes were good, and everything came out nicely presented. The service was friendly and quick, and the overall ambiance was welcoming and comfortable. Food too was nice.

    Orange Plant-Based Chicken and Spicy Buffalo Cauliflower
    Anna S.

    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.

    Place was amazing. Went for Thanksgiving and had never been before. All vegetarian all good and fash service.

    Braised Eggplant
    Maranda W.

    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

    After traveling all morning, Handlebar was exactly the meal I needed, and it ended up being one of…read moremy favorite dining experiences in Chicago. I loved that they offer both indoor and outdoor seating, giving the restaurant a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. From the moment I arrived, I felt well taken care of, and the service made it easy to settle in and enjoy my meal. I started with a ginger beer, which was the perfect pick-me-up after a long morning of traveling. It was refreshing and a great way to start the meal. For my entrée, I ordered the Vegan Buffalo Chicken Wrap, and it was an easy 10/10. The buffalo sauce had the perfect level of spice, the wrap was packed with flavor, and the texture of the vegan "chicken" was incredibly satisfying. Every bite had the right balance of heat, sauce, and freshness, making it one of the best vegan wraps I've had. I also tried the Dream Mac, which I'd rate a 9/10. The flavor was absolutely delicious, rich, and comforting. My only suggestion would be to make it a little creamier, as that would have taken it from great to unforgettable. It's easy to see why Handlebar is one of Chicago's most-loved vegetarian restaurants. It's only a short ride from downtown, making it an excellent stop whether you're visiting the city or you're a local looking for a fantastic plant-based meal. Between the welcoming atmosphere, attentive service, and flavorful food, I'd absolutely come back the next time I'm in Chicago.

I'm no vegetarian or vegan by any means, but I thought I had to give it a try because of those reviews. I read the description and I am a fan of the hen of the woods mushrooms, so I believed it would be good for sure and needless to say, it was great! The crazy thing is I didn't even have it fresh either. I was having so much trouble with transportation and accidentally ordered way too early. I didn't eat it until an hour and a half later when I got back to my hotel because it was getting so late. I don't think I thought it was great because I was hungry - I actually had a full meal before that. Anyway I had it cold and yeah it still blew me away, but I'm sure if I had it fresh out the kitchen it would've blown my mind and I would definitely come back again. The fries did get soggy however so nothing special about that. But they were seasoned well still!

There are several dishes each for vegetable, seafood, and meat, as well as pasta dishes, small bites, and desserts. My favorites were the PU burger and the Arrachera. Both were unique and had distinct enhancements that took the dish above your normal fare. The burger had a super melty cheese that was almost like a hollandaise sauce. Bun was so soft. The Arrachera had delicious chimichuri as well as potato pave on the side that complemented the meat perfectly. The cocktail list was also excellent with a ton of variety. 'The Last Word' was delicious as well as the aviation. Service was friendly and very helpfully explained the menu options to us. Overall a great experience at Port Union and well worth a visit.

My main grudge on this night was the pour of sparkling wine (brut). Champagne flutes are typically six ounces. A standard pour of wine is five ounces. That means a pour of sparkling wine should stop about 1 inch from the rim of the glass*. Not so this time. I thought the bartender had emptied the bottle and was going to continue his pour with a new bottle, but no - that was not the case (I was seated at the bar.) I had gotten only about 3 out of 5 ounces of a $16 glass of wine. Not cool since every patron is charged an automatic 20% hospitality surcharge per check. (It looked more like a pour for a toast at a wedding!) Other than this major lapse in bartending etiquette - and yes, I considered saying something at the time but did not, hence, this review - my meal was fine (with the exception of the onion tart - not what I expected an onion tart to be: go with the crab cake!). *Note: I have worked part-time in F&B from 1994 to 2024 in all manner of restaurants/catering/country clubs, etc., including as a BASSET certified bartender, so I know what a pour of wine should be (and look like) in a standard champagne flute!

Highly recommend the crab rangoon + soulful platter. ===== Stopped by one weekend near opening and was able to get seated right away! They have a good number of tables outside and inside and seem overall fairly popular since there were already a few tables before us. The menu is huge and had seemed to be mostly Asian-ish, with some other items sprinkled in. We ordered: - crab rangoon - 5/5 - very tasty and light, sauce was a great complement - soulful platter with 'chicken' wing - 4.5/5- loved the variety of components. The 'chicken' wing was a highlight and had great texture and flavor; cornbread was also really tasty. Mac and cheese had a strong nutritional yeast flavor, which I enjoyed, but kind of wish it were more cheesy. Mashed potatoes were ok. Generous portion of collard greens. - mush love - 3/5 - huge portion, but the breading was very thick and crunchy. I wish the individual pieces were split up more and the breading a bit lighter; i also wish the sauce were the same as the one for the crab rangoon. This one was more of a bbq.

Eventually we caught the attention of who I can only imagine was a manager or supervisor who finally came over to take our orders. We ordered the Smokey garlic hummus which fresh pita bread and this was very good. We also ordered the crispy potatoes and the Brussel sprouts as a side. These were also nice and crispy and the brussel sprouts had a tasty kick with the harissa honey. For our main we had the chicken kebab which was perfectly cooked and tender, braised short rib (not as good), and the shawarma skirt steak frite. We quite enjoyed our meal and everything very fast which more than made up for the initial delay in service. For dessert we decided to share a frozen Greek yogurt with Olive Oil and sea salt. This had an interesting taste with a tanginess at the end. I'm not sure I would order this again but you could tell the Greek yogurt was of very good quality. All in all we enjoyed our meal at Aba and would definitely come back if in town.
