    Solid quick service restaurant with vegetarian food. The restaurant felt very clean. I didn’t need to wait long for lunch. There is a good variety of items. I had the far East bowl, which had fresh cooked broccoli and tempeh. The entrance is closest to steps but there is apparently a ram around the building on the other side.

    Absolutely phenomenal. There are so many vegetarian-friendly dishes in Asian cuisine but not necessarily always vegan-friendly options. At Grasshopper, the service is outstanding, the environment is calm, the options are plentiful, the portion sizes are excellent, and the prices are beyond amazing. The taste of all dishes is excellent and it’s a stellar experience all-around, even later on a Friday night. Your only issue will be parking, so plan your commute wisely!

    Got the taco meat nachos and the classic burger with sweet potato fries. The fries were the best, the others just okay, with the nachos being very, very salty. The salt burn is real.

    This is too good to be true!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is heaven. This is paradise. The food was really good, people there were friendly, and the restaurant was clean. The most important thing is that it is good to put health and friendly to the environment. 200 points out of 100 points. If I were a student in Harvard, I would go there every single day!!!!!

    I always love going to The Grasshopper. We love trying different things on the menu. Hands down the best Chinese Vegan restaurant.

    Delicious food and a wide variety of options of their menu. You can get vegan options of traditional fast food or opt for some of their healthier dishes. We got the Reuben sandwich and a chik'n bowl. Both were tasty and flavorful! When we went there, the service was fairly quick and the staff were friendly. Will definitely go here again the next time we are in Cambridge!

    Service was great. Burgers were tasty. Fries were awesome, deserts too, we had carrot cake and Belgium chocolate cheesecake. I had kimchi beef, beef was little bit over salted but everything else in the dish was just right and tasty. Mac&cheese though wasn't impressive, it was too nutty and sweet. Most importantly everything was made fresh.

    You guys ! As a recent vegan I tried this place out w. My besty and it was amazziiiinnggg !! First off they have SO many yummy options on their menu (turn a burrito into a bowl !? Yes pleaseee) We had their smokey mushroom asada & carne asada burrito that was made into a bowl ! Nachos, and carrot cake, ALL PLANT BASED, everything, I mean everything was DELICIOUS. The boss or manager, Manuel, was super friendly and informative (as a new veganer 🌱), he even came around the very clean dining room and gave us samples of their buffalo chikn’… bombbbb ☺️ The staff was super attentive too, I wanted to stay for dinner 🥲 Will be back, and getting the app !

    🌱🌞 Came here to try vegan food, and OMG I was blown away by the flavors especially bc it was plant based menu! I thought vegan food was less dense in spices bc they’re so “limited” but OMG this place made me think otherwise. The manager or owner was a delight. Very amiable and informative. Oh yeah they also have weekly bogo specials! Complete gem for plant based eaters and vegans. They even came around giving samples of food Buffalo chick’n. Nothing was overly sweetened or overly seasoned, it was just right, totally coming back here again 💕🌱 Their tofu inspired carrot cake was very yummy especially bc it was vegan. I wasn’t expecting such similar flavors 🥕 🍰

    A fantastic addition to Cambridge for vegetarians looking for, in my opinion, the best American cuisine. Great faux options, such as their buffalo chicken sandwich. When we visited, the owner was there, greeting customers and talking about their thoughts. It was great to hear what his vision was and some of his story. Looking forward to returning.

    Sitting in the location right now as I type this because I felt so compelled to leave a review about my wonderful experience. I’ve left some before on Yelp as well. The staff goes above and beyond, the food is incredible and the employee named Miguel who has rung me out the past few visits is so friendly. I love this place!!

    Ate here 3 days in a row when visiting Cambridge because the food is just soooooooooo good! ❤️‍🔥 The staff is friendly and very helpful, and their meals felt fresh and satisfying at the same time. 10/10! Outstanding (and I‘ve tried many vegan places).

    I ordered online for pickup and I never got my food. I talked to the manager and showed my receipt and he said there was nothing he can do. The company was completely fine that they took my money and I got no food in return. Subpar service and I’m never coming back again. Veggie Galaxy has better portions and better sandwiches.

    Stopped by the veggie grill with a co worker last week for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by all the great vegetarian and vegan food. We both had the Reuben with pasta salad and Mac and cheese. It was delicious. The manager ( Manny ) was very helpful and friendly. Great place for lunch and dinner. I will definitely go back next time I'm in the area.

    If I could rate it 10 stars, I would. Firstly customer service is 10/10. They’re all so polite and kind. I had a little mess-up with my order and the manager Manny took care if my over the top. Also the carrot cake is AMAZING!!

    I was extremely disappointed with what I received after ordering the vermicelli noodles for takeout. All I got was a few rubbery pieces of pork with a bunch of unseasoned noodles, and a little romaine lettuce. Was expecting much better from this place :(

    Really good vegan fast casual option. The nachos and chicken sandwich are my favorite. Wouldn’t recommend doing delivery, the food doesn’t really travel well. It’s much better at the location!

    The Cajun fish sandwich was very tasty; never had anything plant-based like it before. Also had the pesto pasta, which was also very delicious. Was in town visiting.. will be back again.

    Cool vegan spot in Cambridge, great location. Had a Santa Fe chicken with some mac n cheese on the side, and left very full and satisfied! Many options on the menu. Olympic Otter

    Casual vegan restaurant in the Harvard Square area with an ample and diverse menu. We came as a party of six and everything we ordered was well prepared, tasty and satisfying (ample). Seating is well spaced so nobody will feel cramped. My friends are vegan and I am not — I had a plant-based “chicken BLT with avocado on a croissant” and it was delicious!

    I’m vegetarian and have previously been here for Más Veggies. I really liked the tacos so I tried the harvest bowl. The bowl itself was a mix of hot and cold ingredients, which isn't a bad thing on its own. However, I think this emphasized the contrast and lack of blending for the flavors. I got tempeh with the bowl and it was too salty. As a side, I ordered vegan mac & cheese. I've personally made vegan mac & cheese before, and it was not this bland. I think this place has to do a lot better to compete with the Sweetgreens down the road. Come for Mas Veggies tacos, pass on the bowls.

    Everything we ordered was delicious and the pesto chicken parm sandwich in particular was amazing and the fake egg in the sunrise kimchi burger was surprisingly convincing. The staff was super friendly and inviting as well. Great all vegan place I will definitely be returning to especially this month as they have a bogo deal for all new menu items

  • 4/5 Danielle G. 8 months ago on Google • 59 reviews
    Solid vegetarian establishment with a lot of options and good food. The “meat” still tasted pretty synthetic, but they do well with the sauces and toppings so it balances out. The salad portion was more generous than I anticipated and I felt reasonably full by the end. This is definitely more of a quick takeout place, but it’s clean and the staff are friendly so no complaints here :)

  • 5/5 Emma M. 4 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    Super good vibes! The staff were friendly, the food came out super quickly, and everything was delicious!! I got the East Thai Chick'n bowl and my partner got the Banh Mi. We shared the Buffalo Chick'n app as well. Incredibly flavorful, and so wholesome too, we felt great after!!

  • 5/5 Daniel K. 3 years ago on Google
    My family is a mix of vegan, vegetarian, and omnivore. My vegan daughter had been here last year and enjoyed it, so we decided to give it a shot for a family-wide meatless meal, even though Harvard Square is a bit farther than we typically like to go for takeout. The food was really good, tasted fresh, and was definitely hot, as it was still very warm after we got it back home. We had a fairly large order, and one small side of fries was missing, but everything else was good enough (and the portions so generous) that I'm not going to knock off a star for that. Particular favorites were the Crispy Cauliflower appetizer, the Sweet Potato Fries, and the Far East Bowl with grilled chickin'. We ordered curbside pickup, and or order was ready pretty much exactly on time, brought out to our car, and carefully placed in the trunk.

  • 5/5 Carmen M. 3 years ago on Google
    What a gem! We were on the hunt for something that would appease the masses. I'm vegan and my boyfriend is a huge meat lover. I googled Veggie Grill because I figured it was family owned from the greeting we received from Asti & team. I love when you order you are able to see all good entrees and dishes with pictures. I wish these locations were by us in Florida. My boyfriend's fork managed to find itself in my dish a time or two after he devoured his. 🌱

    The staff are amazing and it was my first time here, they were more than happy to give me recommendations. The food was also amazing.

  • 3/5 Ashley B. 3 years ago on Google
    Sharing experiences via Uber Eats: on the plus side food is always well prepared & warm. Nachos are A-MAZ-ING. Bar none amazing nachos, period. Unfortunately, however the other items I’ve had (Masala Bowl & cauliflower bites) are less than appetizing. Sorry - as a pescatarian, I really wish I could say otherwise but such is not the case.

  • 5/5 David C. 4 years ago on Google
    I recently moved from the west coast where I've enjoyed Veggie Grill for years and was happy to see they have a location here not far from my home. While their selection isn't quite as wide as the location I used to live near, they have the good stuff and the food is seriously ~30% better. Everything is super fresh and seems to be prepared perfectly. No sloppy or cold food or poorly mixed sauces (had several experiences like this on the west coast, not deal breakers but disappointments). This location is awesome.

  • 5/5 Carmen J. 3 years ago on Google
    My aunt and I are vegans but i brought my meat eating siblings with me and they really enjoyed the food. 10/10 would recommend and my aunt even bought another vg classic to go. 😂😂

  • 5/5 Melly 3 years ago on Google
    The food here is delicious, there are reasonably healthy options if that's your thing (and lots of fun, ahem, differently-healthy options if you want a treat!) I love having vegetarian buffalo "chicken" options since wings are one of the few meaty foods I find myself missing as a vegetarian. The people who work here are lovely and helpful, and this is a great spot that's worth supporting in these crazy times.

    Best vegan comfort food!

  • 5/5 Injured S. 3 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite restaurants in the area, but today proved it’s more then just good food. Accidentally ordered from the NYC location online today, and they not only fixed my mistake but did it in record time and were very understanding. Great food and great people!

  • 5/5 Ann J. 3 years ago on Google
    Manny helped me and whoa—never had a better experience. First upon entering Manny was the most friendly soul, he asked me if I knew what I wanted, while I was deliberating he gave me a vote of confidence that the nachos were the way to go. So friendly again, cannot explain. Imagine Chick-fil-A effectiveness and kindness and then take it up ten notches. He asked if I wanted to eat outside, said they’d turn on the heat for us. I waited a mere two minutes for my food when Manny called me over by name and asked if I’d like napkins and utensils to go. It felt like a real community—the experience was worth it on its own, amazing timeliness, friendly folks. The food was literally done in two minutes, looking beautiful and tested delicious. And the food (nachos) was delicious! The “beef” tasted so so good and I ate way too much of a two serving meal—delicious and incredible in-store experience made a great night. Five stars! Also, I ate it way too fast, I took a photo but resorted to eating before I checked the photo and it didn’t take—imagine a photo worthy beautiful colorful nachos drizzled with the best cheese, and afterwards noting awe that it was vegan. Incredible stand-alone nachos and then add that it is vegan is just out of this world.

  • 5/5 Kristen Niccoló L. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is amazing!!! Manny was so kind!!! The cookies were so good, the caprese sandwish was soo delicious. Although the mozarella cheese tasted more like goat cheese which I used to love!!! Their chipotle aioli with the fries is also awesome!! Will definitely be coming back!

    Only ever had good experiences dining in or ordering for contactless pick up. The staff is so friendly and helpful! You can ask them for suggestions on what to order. I have most enjoyed the tempura green beans, sweet potato fries, santa fe chickin, greek salad, reuben (a little greasy), and cookies. Recommend their bowls if you want more veggies in your meal.

    Manny the manager there is the best restaurant manager I have encountered in the long time: always smiling, active listening, engage in conversations, and make customers feel seen and heard. He has a positive energy, and answers all my questions. The burger at Veggie Grill tastes heavenly, and I surely don't think about meat or missing meat when I eat at Veggie Grill. The desserts are always great- Highly recommend the Chocolate Pudding!

  • 5/5 Piotrek H. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Rebecca L. 3 years ago on Google
    I ordered a large order from this location through DoorDash last night, and when the order hadn't arrived for an extremely long time and it was past closing hours, I called the restaurant to see if they had ever received the order from them or if the delivery driver had left with it. It turned out that the food had been ready but that nobody had picked it up. The person on the phone, Mani, was incredibly kind and patient, communicated and fixed the problem with DoorDash on my behalf, called me back to update me, and also added some desserts and drinks to my order to make up for the long wait, despite the fact that it wasn't his fault in the slightest. This is some of the best costumer service I have ever received, so much so that I just had to write a review. My order was enormous, yet nothing was missing and the food was absolutely delicious and well prepared. Thank you Mani and thank you to the rest of the staff at Veggie Grill for making the wait worth it. I look forward to ordering from you again soon! <3

    *Fresh and tasty food *Very friendly service. Chloe who is a Shift-Lead at Cambridge, MA location she is very knowledgeable about the food Veggie Grill served. She is also very friendly and patience. Thank you very much for very friendly service and following my instructions on my order. In my experience this place deserve more than 5 stars.

  • 5/5 imperfectidealist 3 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite vegan Asian restaurants in Boston - amazing food quantity & quality and service. Have been here twice - got the lemongrass seitan lunch special the first time, which was generously portioned and tasty. The hot and sour soup that came with was just the right amount of spicy and acidic. I couldn't believe it was less than $8 before tax and tip! The second time, I came with a friend, and we ordered the sizzling plate dinner platter (it was lunch, but the dinner platter is available at all times, and adds soup, salad, and white or brown rice for $3 total). We also got the vermicelli with "chicken" (#42). The sizzling plate was delicious, with just the right balance of veggies and substitute meats. The vermicelli was not quite as good, as the noodles were plain with some sauce, and only lettuce and carrots as vegetables - I was expecting the noodles to be fried. The dish was still tasty, but I wouldn't get it again. Overall, still an amazing spot. The staff are very kind and helpful in suggesting what to order, the setting is nice and well-lit, and the food is really unique and filling. Will definitely be a regular from now on!

    Ordered food in large quantities for 10 people for a small catering party. So much food! Such a great price! Loved the Hot and Sour Soup, Wontons, and Chow Foon Noodles w/"Beef."

  • 5/5 R F. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place to eat even if you aren't vegetarian or vegan! My favorites are the No Name, Eggplant and Tofu Surprise, Lobster, and a good old plate of sauteed spinach or watercress. The portions are very generous and there is always enough for leftovers. Service is always friendly and they are happy to exclude/add certain ingredients where possible. The lunch buffets are a good deal as well. Food is kept hot, and was replenished frequently.

  • 5/5 Jennifer M. 5 years ago on Google
    Outstanding food and and service. They have alot of the popular menu options on the lunch menu which is super cheap ($8ish for a dish) and includes green tea. They will modify the dish in any way you like. Dinner is about $11 to 14 per dish. All food is vegan. Parking is doable with an extra trip or so around the block. Restaurant was a bit chilly as we were they when the first opened. Would definitely go back.

  • 5/5 Peter S. 5 years ago on Google
    A stellar veg/an Asian experience. Great service, quaint furnishings, and the food is the star. Amazing portions for the price, fast preparation and just the right amount of craving-meeting goodness without being too heavy or greasy. Curry coconut seitan curry, buckwheat noodles with tofu and veggies, veggie tempura, tofu and sweet potato hand rolls and edamame rounded out the meal, with complimentary jasmine tea.

  • 5/5 Michelle P. 3 years ago on Google
    We LOVE Grasshopper! I highly recommend #69 but getting kale on the bottom instead of lettuce. The hot and sour soup is also delicious. It is actually kinda spicy! The staff is always super nice. I can't wait until we can actually go eat in the restaurant again.

  • 5/5 Anthony F. 3 years ago on Google

    Affordable and great tasting vegetarian food! Some places in the area give me a bit of a peanut reaction from oils, but not this place. I recommend those who order from here pair the veggie chicken nuggets with soy sauce, good stuff.

  • 1/5 Vincent C. 3 years ago on Google
    It's like going back to the 80s. The substitute meats here have not kept up with anything you can now get in the frozen foods aisle at the supermarket. Chow fun was a messy glop. "No Name" dish was tough and chewy. BBQ pork was not char siew, but rather fried dough on a slaw. Other dishes had of bamboo shoots in odd places.

  • 5/5 Karen H. 3 years ago on Google
    this is my fourth time eating their food, and i went with a friend who is NOT vegan. she LOVED her dish, and even liked what she tasted from some of mine. the food was hot, fast and delicious, they have not failed me on a dish yet, from apps to soup to entree, it all tastes so good! the host was patient, informative, courteous, efficient and thoughtful, and we just ordered take out! DEFINITELY my new favorite vegan place 😄

  • 4/5 Tatiana S. 3 years ago on Google
    While I was expecting the inside of the restaurant to be a little bit more upscale, the "No name" dish was extremely delicious and I almost thought I was eating real orange chicken. The lo mein noodles were good too. I also got a strawberry cheesecake; I was not too crazy about it, but my one-year old loved it! Grasshopper is definitely a new Asian, vegan spot that I will add to my list.

  • 3/5 Dave Y. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was greasy and portions smaller than anticipated. The fruit juices were bland; they taste as though diluted with water. We love supporting vegan places, but was disappointed.

    Grasshopper All-Vegan Asian Restaurant in Allston has been very popular all-vegan restaurant for a very long time. They have consistently enhanced their business by bettering their service, food quality, and ambiance - according to those who dine there.

    Edit: management, I have to know: after being closed due to health code violations, how can you assure loyal patrons you've addressed the issues? This now makes two times due to health code violations, how do we know this time is different? I'd love to keep supporting you, but I can't wager my health. Good food at a fair price. Servers are always very kind and friendly.

    I have been to this place sporadically over a span of 15 years & to this date is the same great food & service as has always been! Must try: 1) #77 Sweet & Sour Tofu Chicken Fingers & 2) The No Name

    This place has a very extensive menu and serves huge portions of great tasting food. The ambience is decent but nothing close to fancy.

    Stopped here with my family right after a long flight, and found everything here to be delightful. Quiet restaurant, good food, friendly service. The seafood substitute was tasty, which I'd expected. It was also a really good facsimile of shrimp, which far exceeded my expectations. More convincing by far than I'd thought possible.

    Superb environment and very personal service. The menu was crisp and delicious. Will clearly recommend this place to anyone. Fair prices and large meals. Great work.

    Food was mediocre at best. The presentation could be better. Great for vegans nonetheless.

    Simple, delicious food. Top picks are the buffalo sandwich, french fries, baja "fish" tacos, and crispy cauliflower. The carrot cake is slightly crumbly but very good too. Every time I've gone the staff are kind and friendly ibut somehow without hovering or being overbearing, which I appreciate so much. Just like anywhere that serves this type of food, dine-in taste the best; if you order delivery I recommend warming the food in your toaster oven to re-crisp it, esp the buffalo sandwich, which is insanely good when ordered fresh but gets soggy because of condensation (not the restaurants fault, and our deliveries have always been prompt--this is just how it is with food that's either fried or otherwise intended be served when still crispy and very fresh). I'm vegan and my partner is omni and we both love this place.

    This is hands down my favorite restaurant. Every single item is amazing. My non vegan friends love it too!

    If you’re in Harvard Square and need a place to sit, relax in a spacious dining area, be warmly welcomed, and enjoy great, healthy food, then this is the place. There are many great options on the menu, and I recommend the VG Classic. If you go, introduce yourself to Manny. He’s one of the nicest people you’ll meet.

    This was our first visit to the Veggie Grill in Cambridge, after three wonderful visits out in Portland Oregon. Since the demise of wholehearted provisions, this has become our new favorite place to get a good healthy vegan meal. The food is rock solid and the portions are generous, so you shouldn't leave hungry. For what it's worth, the bathrooms were clean too. To paraphrase Arnold Schwarzenegger, we'll be back.

  • 5/5 Mel S. 2 years ago on Google
    The food here is amazing. You have to try the Cajun Fish sandwich it always the best sandwich you would eat all week. If you’re looking for a great vegan food, and amazing staff then 10/10 would recommend

  • 3/5 A S. 2 years ago on Google
    The service is fast and friendly. Portions are generous, food is a little blend for my taste but it works for people that have a very sensitive tummy, I just added a little salt. Overall i felt satisfied and light having a curry bowl for lunch.

    Liliana was one of the best employees I’ve seen in a long time. She asked how she could help me throughout the entire experience, before ordering, after receiving the food, and at the end of my meal. She was extremely attentive and friendly. When I was waiting to ask for a box, it looks like she ran from break to help me. The food was really good but the service was amazing.

  • 5/5 Lillian H. 2 years ago on Google
    Every single thing I've tried here (and I've tried most of the menu at this point) is amazing. I've never had a disappointing meal here and the quality is consistent across visits.

  • 5/5 Coco M. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was amazing. We ordered the far east bowl w/ a side lentil soup & cajun fish sandwich w/ a side of mac & cheese. Chocolate parfait & Belgian chocolate cake. For all that is was around $50, pretty expensive but the food was amazinggggg. The fish sandwich tasted EXACTLY like fish even though its all plant based. Far east bowl (with crispy chikin) was spicy & i love spice. Mac & cheese didnt taste like traditional mac and cheese but it was still good. Lentil soup tasted like chili which was amazing! The parfait has a date taste to it. Brownie was amazing. The owner or manager was an amazing hot, he gave us complimentary chocolate chip cookies & plant based oreo cookies for my son. (We paid like $60 but its bc we got 2 beers & a water, food was probably $50)

    Delicious Delicious Fresh Foods. We enjoyed the Far East Bowl and Sweet Potato Fries with Chipotle Aioli Dipping Sauce. Homerun in flavor andpresentation. .

    Super impressed with my first visit, the staff were welcoming and friendly, the Manager Manny was very enthusiastic and helpful in explaining the options and the cashier was kind in helping making the choice of the rice bowl and wow the brown rice and curry temph bowl with squash was one of the best I've had in a while! Was truly surprised. The beyond burger was perfect and the fries were crispy and flavorful. All of the staff were courteous and considerate. Looking forward to returning again.

    Last Wednesday I got dinner while at work, I got the Chinese Chick'n Salad, Crispy Cauliflower with Buffalo sauce, and Crispy Fish bites with sweet potato fries. Also a lemonade the salad was so good and healthy, the fried cauliflower is my favorite, and the Buffalo sauce dip perfect combo. lemonade is delicious not too sweet and not too bitter! This spot is great to eat and has healthy choices!

    Good fast vegan food. Their service has gotten more consistent than when they first opened. The chicken sandwich is my go to although I enjoy their salads as well.

  • 4/5 J H. 1 year ago on Google
    Was really delicious, but i wish a dine-in vegan burger+lemonade didn't need to cost $15+ 😭. Ethical food choices are hard to find, affordable ones even more so. Staff was amazing.

  • 5/5 Lucas P. 9 months ago on Google
    So happy to have found a veggie grill in the area. I hope that this is a sign of the LA vegan influence coming more to Boston. They are always having vegan specials so check out their menu to find out what to eat that night. Since there is nothing bad on the menu it’s a good idea to let the specials dictate what’s for lunch/dinner. The burritos and nachos were so good!! They also have a few bottled beer options along with kombuchas and other specialty beverages.

    This place is awesome! The food was delicious. My meat eating adult offspring loved it so much, they thanked me for taking them and said they had plans to return on a regular basis. Everything is plant based. And it's pure deliciousness. I had a burger and sweet potato fries and got a truffle Mac to go. They had a sandwich and Mac and cheese. We both got desserts. My chocolate cake was yummy, but their carrot cake was truly better. The frosting isn't overpoweringly sweet. It's just right. The fries did not look as good as they tasted. And I'm really glad I got them. The chipotle mayo was a little spicy for me but the mushroom burger was soooooooo good. Everyone should eat here at least once.

    Excellence food, great service, nice staff. Everything we ordered were great. Buffalo tender and Sunrise kimchi burger was amazing. The egg was really convincing. We will definitely come here again. :D

    I got the new truffle Mac n cheese. I really liked the cheesiness of it all. The truffle was definitely present too. I wish there was a bit more of the crispy bits. They were quite nice. The menu says it serves two, but I highly doubt that. It was nice of the cashier to mention the buy one get one free for new menu items, but I was going to be out of town, so having leftovers wasn’t the best idea. I’d definitely come back to try other items. I had my eye on the crispy cauliflower
