Large menu with vegetarian options. We ordered the vegetable wontons which had a peanut sauce on them which I was not a fan of. The sesame bean curd could have been more flavorful and the sauce on it was a bit thin. The Chow fun was good. The second time we ordered we got the nabeyaki udon which was fine, as well as the vegetarian general Tâ??sos tofu which was more flavorful.

Tai Chi Lunch Box – Menu with Prices – 343 Meigs St, Rochester

We ordered from Tai Chi using Grubhub and were immediately very pleased by how quickly it was delivered. About 30 minutes earlier than predicted! Plus, the prices were VERY reasonable. The food was good. Nothing special, but pretty decent. We got the General Tso’s Tofu combo, which came with a choice of either rice or lo mein, and choice of an egg roll, soda, or soup. The tofu had a pretty decent flavor, but I don’t think it was marinated, because the flavor was ONLY on the outside. Once you bit into the tofu, it was pretty flavorless. The vegetable lo mein and vegetable egg roll were good though. We also ordered egg drop soup on the side, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I would say that Thai Chi Lunch Box is definitely a solid choice for Chinese take-out!

An Chay Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 11203 Jasper Ave, Edmonton

I actually have no idea how long An Chay has been sitting on this little corner of Jasper Ave and 112St and as a restaurant that advertises “Vegetarian Vietnamese Cuisine” it never really registered on my radar. However my partner, who is vegetarian, suggested it as a place to try one day and I am happy to say I was pleasantly surprised. An Chay isn’t very big but has a lot of big windows so it provides a lot of natural lighting for a nice meal atmosphere and, as I already stated, it’s on the corner of Jasper ave so it also provides a lively people watching experience. We were greeted promptly, despite there only being one server and our overall service experience was good. We ordered tofu salad rolls to share and then I order their satay soup and my partner got a lemongrass tofu I think. The salad rolls were fresh and came with a peanut sauce. My satay soup was good, not too spicy or too big. It was just what I needed that day to fill belly. I, initially, was a little weary around how the flavour would be seeing as there was no meat in the pho but it was quite tasty. My partner also really enjoyed his tofu dish, which came with “fish sauce” and rice. As someone who doesn’t adhere or identify as a vegetarian, An Chay was a pleasant surprise and a place I would definitely revisit with my partner or a friend who wanted to go for Vietnamese cuisine. The food was flavorful and still captured the tastes of Vietnamese food and the atmosphere was very chill and relaxed. Plus their location is fairly ideal and there is street parking. I think my only side note would be that considering it is a vegetarian establishments, I thought prices were a little high – not drastically high or anything but enough for me to notice I suppose. Still worth a try for sure.

Monsoon Siam – Menu with Prices – 2045 Atwood Ave, Madison

I came here for dinner with a friend who recommended this restaurant. Service was prompt and our server Sam was so wonderful and accommodating. The tamarind peanut sauce that came with the fresh rolls was some of the best peanut sauce I’ve ever tasted. My friend ordered the papaya salad and when the wrong one was brought out by mistake, Sam was proactive and removed it from our bill without us saying a word. The papaya salad was fresh and incredibly spicy, just the way we like it! My friend and I both ordered Pad Thai, mine with chicken and hers with tofu. My friend is vegetarian and tasted a fish flavor in her dish so asked for another one made without fish sauce. The server and cook were so nice and rectified the issue right away. We ordered mango sticky rice as a dessert but they were out of mango, so we got jackfruit instead. So delicious and so addicting! I will definitely be going back and I will recommend this Thai restaurant to everyone!

Gia Minh Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 6181 Fraser St, Vancouver

There are four vegan items are on the menu: vegan spring rolls, vegan salad rolls, vegan pho, and vegan sub. The salad rolls are wrapped around a mildly salty tofu/tempeh. These rolls are tender and fiberous as a filling appetizer. It is served with peanut sauce for more delicious flavour. The peanut sauce is a love or hate accoutrement. It is supplanting the tempeh flavour, and I’m not able to taste tempeh. This is despite the good taste. I would recommend eating the salad rolls as it is, and the peanut sauce is good for your bean sprouts. I recommend chomping-down with the tofu side on tongue. Unlike others, the spring rolls are thinner but sweet. The crispy outer is clean and plane. Every bite is smooth in the centre, and it is a sweet starchy inside. I am told that it’s made with veggies, mungbeans, and bean sprouts. The vegetable broth is not a simple vegetable broth from a Campbell’s stock. When you first receive it, a sip is warm enough to get blood rushing to your ears. The flavour is bold and salty to remind you of cold winter seasons behind a steaming soup that one might enjoy as much as desert. The noodles are like the typical rice noodles. They are elastic, chewy, and flavourful by the sweetness. The large bowl is a larger noodle bundle to enjoy. You should wait for the noodles to soak the broth, so it’s easy to pull. I recommend eating the noodles for a while, and you should add bean sprouts when you find the soup too salty. With the bean sprouts, the soup is balanced and a mix of salty and washed-out flavours. The sandwich is same tofu as salad rolls. The bread, the cucumbers, carrots, bell peppers, cilantros, and jalapeños are standard and good. I should ask for no butter/mayo for a vegan version. I prefer the salad rolls to this sub.

Peking Express Menu with Prices 514 S Van Dorn St, Alexandria

Peking Express, which was once known as Ho King, is a small Chinese carry-out/delivery place off of Van Dorn. They offer a full menu of appetizers, soups, noodle dishes, chicken/beef/pork/vegetarian options, and even some Thai dishes. The hubs and I ordered some late-night Chinese: Hot & Sour Soup (this was for the hubs only; he said it was just okay); Sesame Cold Noodles (the sesame sauce was way too sweet, and there wasn’t enough to dress the big amount of noodles); Spicy Tangy Dumplings – Szechuan Style (stuffed with ground pork with a peanut butter dressing and topped with green onions; these were little steamed wontons coated with a sugary sweet peanut dressing – not at all spicy and not at all savory; also, the dumplings were also a little cold); Crab Rangoon (the wontons were more on the chewier end, but they were filled with a lot of the cream cheese/crab mixture; a little less thick and more watered down); Mongolian Beef (which comes with white rice or fried rice (brown rice is an extra charge); this tasted okay, but it was a lot of onions; the sauce could have been more thicker, as there was plenty of liquid at the bottom); and, Chicken Fried Rice (the hubs was a total fan of this – light had a good combination of veggies and strips of chicken). They have a delivery option, but we went to go pick it up. Most of the items seemed to be made to-order. There are a few tables and chairs to eat, but most locals seem to just do carry-out/delivery. Plenty of parking in the plaza lot. +Chicken Fried Rice +convenient online ordering system +most food made to-order +delivery available +plenty of parking in shared plaza lot

Courtside Thai Cuisine – Menu with Prices – 3981 Chain Bridge Rd, Fairfax

We went to Courtside Thai last night for dinner after wanting to try it for a while now. It’s small and tucked in from the sidewalk and has a huge patio which is probably awesome in the summer. We were greeted warmly by the waiters and sat immediately, it was after 8 and a Wednesday evening so it wasn’t very busy. Plus they likely do a fair amount of take out and delivery. We shared two starters; Tornado Tofu with peanut sauce, and the vegetable spring rolls. Both were delicious and has really yummy sauces. We liked the spring rolls best but both were very good and freshly made. We shared two entrees; tofu Panang Curry with rice and vegetable Pad Thai. Honestly the Pad Thai was one of the best I’ve ever eaten and my husband agreed. It was fresh, full of vegetables and flavor and we all but scraped the plate clean. The Panang was very very good as well, definitely spicier than how I’m used to and less sweet. I’m assuming that’s a more authentic way to serve it anyway so I was happy. The service was great; very attentive waiters and extremely friendly and thankful we came in. We will 100% be back and I highly recommend it you’re a Thai food fan!

An Hy Quan Vegetarian Restaurant Menu with Prices 1405 Juan Tabo Blvd NE #4405, Albuquerque

Amazing authentic Asian vegetarian cuisine. I came here with a friend for lunch on a Sunday and had the place to ourselves at opening. Our server was very friendly and helpful with the menu. Food was served fast and everything we had was excellent. The deep fried vegan egg rolls were delicious for starters, served with multiple dipping sauces. Even though they were fried, they were not very oily, which was a nice touch. I ordered the fine rice with shredded veggies, tofu loaf and bbq. It was about as perfect as a entree could be. The rice bed was fresh and it was topped with a variety of tastes, from tangy/sweet (bbq) to savory (tofu loaf) to slightly acidic (veggies). The bbq reminded me of something I once had at a vegetarian restaurant in New York City, but until this, had never found anywhere else. My friend ordered the vegan pho with Vietnamese-style vegan beef. The large bowl was big enough to share and was very flavorful. The only thing I’d recommend is that they make their menu more specific in differentiating between what’s vegan and non-vegan. Some items have vegan in the name, although most don’t. With that said, some options are vegan, but you wouldn’t know for sure unless you asked. Luckily our server was very helpful and honest in telling us what was or wasn’t vegan. The steamed buns are NOT vegan, just a heads up. Aside from nit-picking the menu labels, I loved the authentic Asian cuisine and friendly service. I will definitely be back!

Little India (Bombay Street Food) Menu with Prices 2236 Highland Ave, Birmingham

On the recommendation of the Owner/Chef, we tried the Chili Chicken with Fried Rice. The dish came out steaming hot in a reusable to-go container. The chicken was battered and fried before being covered in “gravy”, a mildly sweet and spicy sauce. The gravy dishes are by default served with generous helpings of gravy, although they can also be ordered “dry” or “without gravy”. This dish was delicious and far superior to any Chinese takeout near the area, especially for a menial $7. We also ordered the Chicken Hakka Noodles, a dish similar to Chow Mein, although more complex. Hakka noodles are a type of boiled noodles that are tossed and mixed with vegetables, chicken and sauces. Both Hakka Noodles and chow mein are made using noodles and similar kinds of vegetables are added to it. However, there is a slight difference between the two. While Hakka noodles have their roots in Hakka Han or Han Chinese, chow mein comes from Taishan. Hakka noodles have dominant Bengali flavours but chow mein has flavours that can be closely associated with Chinese flavours. Whatever the differences in chow mein and Hakka noodles, they were certainly tasty!  This dish was served tossed with chicken and green onions and a savory sauce with a latent heat. Another win, and again, for only $7.  Perhaps inaptly titled, “Little India,” offers more Chinese-Indian fusion than they do Indian food. New names for the establishment are being tossed around. Most of the menu items sounded like Chinese dishes, however, many dishes of modern Indian Chinese cuisine bear little resemblance to traditional Chinese cuisine. Staple base options for an Indian Chinese meal include chicken, shrimp or vegetable variants of “Hakka” or “Schezwan” noodles popularly referred to as chow mein; and regular or”Schezwan” fried rice. Though the names sound similar to familiar dishes, this food stands alone.

Futago Udon – Menu with Prices – 508-512 Park Dr, Boston

Udon’s a trend now, and Futago’s riding the wave to their surprise. They’ve been busy from the get-go, so they’re still figuring things out, though based on our visit, they’re doing well so far. Service from all parties were pleasant. One fellow greeted us and later seated us. One lady took our order, gave me a verbal nudge to squeeze my lemon onto my dish, cleared our dishes, gave us the dessert menu, described the specials, checked in on us, and brought out the bill. Another delivered (some of) our order, refilled our water, and later took our dessert order when we were ready. It is a team effort here, it seems. My original plan was to go with either the duck udon or the carbonara udon, both hot. But my friend provided some insight based upon her brother’s many visits – no on the duck and carbonara, yes on the tofu appetizer and their fried chicken. Well, then, my new picks were the Sukiyaki Udon $18 and the Uni Cream Udon $21. But that was not to be, as they were out of the Sukiyaki, and the special our server recited was tempting. A chilled Mentaiko Udon. If I remember correctly, a sea urchin cream sauce topped with mentaiko (some kind of teeny tiny fish eggs – smaller than tobiko, and lacking the pop), crab meat, seaweed, scallion, and a lemon wedge. Tipped off to squeeze the lemon into my bowl, I found the thin cream sauce and udon to be tasty and refreshing. Backing up to our starters however, we found the Ankake Agadashi Tofu $8 for 2 pieces to be a bit over priced for what we considered okay tofu, but their Chicken Tatsuta-age $7 for 4 pieces to be terrifically tasty and moist dark meat chicken, though it would have been vastly improved with a crisper crust. For dessert, we continued on the off-menu trend. The sesame mont blanc ($6?) sponge cake was a disk of sesame cake, topped with a scoop of cream, covered with squiggles of sesame cream, and accompanied by whipped cream and fruit. It made for a delicate and lightly sweet treat, which enticed even my generally non-sweet-toothed DC to eat nearly half. *** For our second visit to Futago, our goal was simple – the Sukiyak Udon $18 (Angus beef ribeye, tofu, napa, enoki, and poached egg in a sweet savory broth). The bowl looked wonderful upon arrival, and seemed a relatively well rounded meal in a bowl with a good veggie to meat to carb ratio. I ate it all, though I left a lot of broth behind. Yes, I would not have earned a Perfect if I were at another udon location which shall not be named.

Hong Thai Express – Menu with Prices – 4155 Rickey St SE #134, Salem

I’ve been looking for a decent massaman curry in Oregon for years. This place makes a great one, by far the best in Salem. The second I had the food placed in front of me I knew it would be a winner, just based on the rich orange/brown color and aroma. I had mine with tofu (I don’t bother ordering meat until a restaurant has shown they can cook) and the tofu was excellent as well – so good I’ll probably order it with tofu again. I went medium heat awas perfectly spicy for a medium. I will try the Panang curry next but I’m probably going to order the massaman curry 3-4 more times just to make sure they know there is demand for it. Honestly, I’m almost in shock to see excellent Thai curry in Salem after trying so many mediocre places. Now we just need an Indian restaurant that is this good. Update: I’ve been back three or four times. Extremely tasty every time. We’ve ordered the Pad See Ew, the Orange Chicken, and the Chow Mein. All of these dishes were excellent. My kids in particular loved the orange chicken and the Chow Mein. My one nit pick is the heat level on the Massaman curry is a little inconsistent. I’ve gotten medium every time but it has been less than medium to quite spicy. I have a wide tolerance for heat so it’s fine but it’s something they could work on. Update 2: orange chicken wasn’t good the second time we ordered it. Everything else was still yum Update 3: A few months have gone by and I’m sitting here eating my massaman curry with tofu (plus asparagus added) and maybe I’m just in the mood for it but I can honestly say this is the best meal I’ve had in years. The flavor and texture of everything in this dish is spot on. I would give the dish I’m eating right now six stars if I could.

Pholicious, Inc. – Menu with Prices – 27001 US-19 #9245, Clearwater

*vegans/vegetarians do NOT go here* I was craving pho and found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. They have a little sign posted by the register informing guests to let them know if you have food allergies or dietary restrictions. I let the girl working behind the counter know that I was vegetarian and that I do not eat meat nor seafood. After having to explain to them that I was looking for tofu, she pulls an unlabeled tupperware container from the back of the fridge with some slimy looking tofu in it. I decide to go ahead and give it a try because they have great reviews online. As soon as she goes to pour the broth I catch her filling my bowl with the chicken brother instead of vegetable. I quickly stop her and ask for vegetable broth and she snaps saying “well, you should have told me that in the beginning” (mind you – I have told her twice now). Then, the other girl working behind the counter takes the tofu over to a cutting board where she is currently cutting RAW SHRIMP. Um, hello?! Cross contamination! I immediately asked for my money back and left. This place is disgusting but I’m not sure why I expected more from food court Vietnamese food! *update* I have attempted to contact this company twice and had not received a response.

Arigato Sushi – Menu with Prices – 11199-A, Lee Hwy, Fairfax

Came here on a Monday night at around 6:30. There were about about 2 tables when we arrived. We were greeted by the chefs (I couldn’t exactly tell what they said because it was in Japanese but I know it meant something along the lines of “welcome”) then the servers prompted us to our seats and took our order. We were given a complimentary small dish of edamame and fried cream cheese I think and our food came out pretty quick as well. We ordered age dashi tofu to start with along with a sushi&sashimi combo, salmon combo, and tempura udon as our meal. Everything tasted great especially the tempura udon. The broth was exceptional! However, I didn’t really like the spicy salmon hand roll. It wasn’t like the typical spicy mayo flavor, it was more of a korean red pepper paste flavor. After we were done eating, the servers quickly took our empty plates and gave us our checks. Nothing extraordinary but overall a fine experience.
