    Very good vegan options!!! I love the spicy tofu salad, I will definitely come back to try the salad again and many other delicious plates on the menu. Tempura is so good, not oily and fresh with tasty sauce. My first time trying the chicken katsu, I recommend 💕. The portions are reasonably priced, I was able to take my leftovers and continue to eat later. The staff was very nice and accommodating, thank you. Looking forward to come back 🙏🏼.

    Best vegan food I've had in Chicago. Yakisoba was very good, the vegetables were crunchy and the chicken substitute was amazing. Ramen with "shrimps" was terrific. The broth was flavorful and the shrimp substitute was surprisingly accurate. The drunken noodles were also very tasty. The prices could be a tad lower though.

    4.5 stars: One of the few completely vegan Thai spots in Chicago, and it was pretty solid! I came on a weekday for lunch and it was completely empty. It’s a medium-sized space cutely decorated with holiday-themed, festive decor. The service was very quick and friendly. I ordered the Spicy Eggplant with Soy Beef which I really enjoyed! The staff noted that soy chicken and beef tend to be the most popular proteins ordered, and especially recommended the soy beef. The soy beef was tender and flavorful. The eggplant and veggies were also cooked very well: the eggplant was soft and tender and the veggies were crisp and fresh. I ordered it medium spicy and it definitely packed a bit of spice in there, but wasn’t too spicy overall. It also came with purple rice, which was a little hard but good when mixed in with the flavorful entree sauce. Before the entree came out, they also served a small cup of miso soup, but it was a little cold. The dessert selection on the menu looked really good and creative, but unfortunately they only had one of the 5 options available on that day, so we didn’t choose to get it. The prices were also okay— not that expensive but also not that inexpensive (~$16 per entree).

    My true rating is 0 stars. We was not impressed by the food. It’s extremely toxic. It would be nice if people will innerstand that soy is linked to multiple cancers…endocrine disorders, infertility, breast cancer in both men and women, soy contains high levels of phytic acids which withdraw nutrients when processed by your body. Soy is harmful to children. Please do your research. What we mean by research is to listen to how your body feels after you eat. You will find a lot of false information online. The TRUTH comes from within. You know you are good when you feel happy, light, energetic, and free. When you get done eating you should not feel bad with gas, stomach cramps, tiredness, irritability, headaches, inflammation in muscles and joints. Vegetarians and other users of dairy. (Milk, butter, cheese)Dairy causes mucus and inflammation in the body as does soy… you have to watch those plant based cheese too. More natural ones like cashews is a much healthier alternative. Let’s create a world that eat healthy foods that’s good for the mind, body, and soul. I listen to my body when it comes to food. I learned that eating red meat, processed food, sugars and chemicals does not belong in my light body. Food is information so if I consume food (energy) of a animal that was beaten and abused… I will be consuming all those fears and neglect from that animal and in turn I will feel sluggish and unmotivated. When I eat high alkaline plant based foods I feel so energetic and on top of this world. The ingredients being used in most of the restaurants that’s using processed foods and soy will not allow you to live a long healthy life.

    I am not a vegan, but I do enjoy vegetarian and vegan food from time to time. We had fried rice (soy beef) and green curry (soy chicken). Green curry was very flavourful, fresh tasting, and rightly spiced (we ordered med spicy). Soy chicken was not bad either. The fried rice though, was a big "Meh".. Mushy and some sorta oily making it quite weird texture. The beef was also pretty weird texture. I'll recommend to have vegetarian options than trying vegan substitutes next time. Service was great as well.

    So happy we found this place! Thai restaurants are quite safe for veg*ns, as long as they can assure you there are no shrimp, clam, fish etc. sauces. But can they always? I have been lied to more than once. Felt so great to know there is nothing to worry about @ Vegan Plate. Just sit down, relax and worry only about which one to try first. Food was great. Everyone was extremely friendly. I only wish it was closer to home.

    I absolutely love this restaurant. My advice is to try everything, come back and keep trying something new. This time I had curry gyoza, tofu satay and the kung pao chicken which I forgot to take a picture of. First time trying them and they were all very delicious, filling and well made

    I miss the vegan sushi! This restaurant has great vegan Asian food. I love the drunken noodles and the spring rolls. Oh and if you’re into sweets, I highly recommend the tofu cheesecake. It’s so rich and has a wonderful texture, and it topped with your choice of preserves. They also deliver!

    What a great hidden treasure. If you are vegan or vegan curious, this is a must place. I usually get their seaweed soup with mung bean noodles. Highly recommended. One of the best vegan spots in Chicago

    My fave place urban vegan was closed so I went here which is basically the sister place, got the pad Thai and it was amazing, basically identical to urban vegan. Absolutely delish. We also got the orange chicken, that was good too. Live Thai vegan food!

  • 1/5 Tiyana T. 3 years ago on Google
    I order from this restaurant yesterday and got the vegan tempura, golden chicken slice and the spring roll that supposed to have mushrooms In them. It only had cabbage and carrots. I go to like them know that my spring rolls had no mushrooms they offered me a refund no problem. I go and reorder today the pepper steak which comes with fries and a salad. They gone tell me that they out of fries, but could give me a spring roll instead. This is wrong on all levels. It’s not my fault the spring rolls did not have mushrooms and the food was good is why I was reordering. It’s all good doe I will never order from them again. Acting like they did not want to take my order over some spring rolls. Now I have to fine something else to eat🤬

    A complete gem of a restaurant that I am confident will not disappoint you. Whether you prefer vegan or vegetarian, or you are not either one of those, you will find a dish that is incredibly pleasing. The restaurant is very unassuming from the street but once you enter it is almost like and Oasis hidden away from the busy Street. It is not very large, only seating for maybe 30 people. We ordered the green curry and a ginger plate that had plant based beef as the protein. Both dishes were served with steamed rice and miso soup. Again, all of this was vegetarian. I completely recommend this restaurant.

  • 5/5 Somebody Something (. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent. Doing a personal vegan restaurant tour. I drove past and had to check it out! I ordered the garden spring roll, crystal noodle salad and pad see ew with “ beef”. ( no pics because it was too good)Everything was fresh and delicious. Usually When I order pad see ew from other restaurants it ends up smelling or tasting like wet dog as if they are cooking it with meat when I specifically asked them to Omit meat 🙄. But not here. At Vegan Plate, it tastes like it’s supposed to. Everything was flavored well and my food wasn’t drowning in grease or oil so you’re getting the texture and flavor of ALL the ingredients when you take a bite. I think prices are good.Service was Good. Portions are good. I’m a happy customer. Thanks Vegan Plate 5 stars⭐️ Definitely reccomend

  • 5/5 Alfred M. 2 years ago on Google
    Sort of an Asian twist on vegan. Food was fresh and very tasty. I ordered the cashew mixed vegetables, spring rolls, and brown rice.

  • 5/5 Jessica M. 2 years ago on Google
    Got the drunken noodle combo and everything was divine. Very flavorful and the ratio of veggies to noodles to sauce to protein was perfect. Would love to go back to try their vegan sushi.

  • 5/5 Ally M. 2 years ago on Google
    I love this place so much. I order takeout at least once per week. I first tried the food in 2018 and it's only gotten better since then. Among my favs are: spring rolls, tempura, cucumber salad, sweet and sour, drunken noodles, green curry, and thai iced tea. Their range of options for vegan meats is also extensive, which is so hard to find. I have many pics, but this is the best one (in this photo: yellow curry with "fish", sweet chili gyoza, drunken noodles with tofu, cucumber salad, & tempura)

  • 5/5 Kyrie P. 2 years ago on Google
    Many options that are both vegan and gluten-free.

  • 5/5 Camilo Vargas M. 2 years ago on Google
    Good luck finding a place with these incredible flavors and very friendly service. I tried P.E.T. with soy fish and it was really nice !!! Hope to come back soon with my family and friends.

  • 5/5 MMM (. 2 years ago on Google
    We've been here multiple times and the food is typically pretty good. Very fresh, good portions, and tasty. I did one time get some less than stellar lard na that seemed a bit watery but aside from that, every visit has offered up good, fresh, tasty food. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 LordCaptainBamboo 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice place. They had the most delicious spring rolls I have ever eaten. The tempura broccoli was also quite tasty. I wish I didn't live about 8 hours away from this restaurant because I would like to try most of their menu.

  • 5/5 Private M. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favorite restaurants in Chicago. The chicken Katsu curry is amazing. Also really like the fish sticks, the stir fried vegetables with soy chicken. I was not a big fan of the pepper steak, but it wasn’t terrible. Can’t wait to keep trying other dishes!!

  • 5/5 Алан �. 2 years ago on Google
    Sushi was creative and delicious. Drunken noodles and 3 flavored chili fish were also great. Soy/wheat/konjac based meat and fish substitutes are used well. Marinated vegetables are also used in the sushi to replace seafood without compromising in texture and taste. Their thai tea is also perfect. We were the only people dining in at lunch, but hopefully business picks up during other times. This place is a gem.

  • 2/5 Madeline G. 1 year ago on Google
    Honestly the food was gross. The vegetable dumplings were pretty good and so was the Thai iced tea (4/5 stars). However the pad thai and pad see ew (both were tofu) were pretty much inedible. The tofu on my pad see ew was rancid but I was too nice to say anything so I picked around it. Noodles were overcooked and soggy with a few pieces of hard broccoli on top and no other vegetables (pad see ew). They also had minimal flavor and no heat. Pad Thai had ridiculously grainy peanut texture and barely any vegetables. It was not spicy at all. Hostess was nice, we were weirdly served room temperature waters (which I understand the bottles, but would have appreciated them cold). Tea was premade and sitting in a little fridge not made to order for $4.50. Very expensive. Meh atmosphere - I think it’s more for takeout. Online it says Thai place but I would definitely recommend going for the vegan sushi instead! That looked better and has good Google reviews. $56 total. I won’t be back unfortunately. Left hungry and went home and had snacks after I paid $56 since neither of us liked our meals.

    I love coming here whenever I'm in the area. I just got myself soy beef pad thai and as usual it was delicious! And the banana spring rolls are worth the try, you will NOT be disappointed! I need to remember to take pics of my food next time but it was soooo good

  • 5/5 Baljit S. 4 years ago on Google
    Awesone Thai style vegan food. Should be able to please even those who are not vegan.

  • 5/5 David M. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is an absolute hidden gem. The most spectacularly delicious Thai in Chicago. Honestly the best Pad Thai I've ever gotten in Chicago and I've been on a mission to find the best Pad Thai for twenty years. Second best is Tiparos, third, Noodles in the Pot. I only get take out though. The atmosphere of the actual restaurant is way too depressing.

  • 5/5 Jeanna W. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is consistently delicious and the staff is amazing. They always accommodate my very specific food allergies and are SO sweet and attentive. The wonderful staff go out of their way to make sure you have a great experience. I have never had an issue with dine in, pick up or delivery - definitely one of my favorite restaurants!

  • 5/5 Godly W. 11 months ago on Google
    Perfection! Cucumber Salad, Ginger Stir Fry with Chicken Nuggets , and Tempura. I asked for extra crispy tempura and they did not disappoint! The best vegan food, amazing service, Chicago is lucky to have this restaurant!

  • 5/5 Diana M. 9 months ago on Google
    We had a wonderful family lunch here! The service was friendly and the spice level was customizable so my kid was able to order her dishes mild. Portions were large and the all day combos made for balanced meals that were tasty and not too heavy. The simple space was done up nicely with real roses and real candles.

    Vegan Plate in Chicago is a true plant-based haven that has exceeded my expectations in every way! This restaurant is a must-visit for vegans and non-vegans alike. The food at Vegan Plate is nothing short of amazing. The menu offers a diverse range of vegan dishes that burst with flavor and creativity. From hearty plant-based burgers to fresh salads and flavorful bowls, every item is a testament to the delicious possibilities of vegan cuisine. What's truly remarkable is the quality of ingredients and the care put into each dish. You can taste the freshness in every bite, and the portion sizes are satisfying. It's a place where you can enjoy a guilt-free, wholesome meal without sacrificing taste. The staff at Vegan Plate is friendly and accommodating, making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. They're knowledgeable about vegan options and are happy to offer recommendations. The restaurant's atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for lunch or dinner with friends and family. Plus, it's conveniently located in Chicago. Vegan Plate is not just a restaurant; it's a celebration of plant-based eating done right. It's clear that the team behind it is passionate about both food and sustainability. Five stars without a doubt!

  • 5/5 Shannon D. 4 months ago on Google
    The food here is as good or better than my local Thai restaurant, but so much of it can be made gluten free that I don't have to worry about getting sick! Definitely worth the 20 min drive vs just popping next door. My absolute go to for gyoza and soup. Love this place!

  • 5/5 Mallory T. 4 years ago on Google
    Obsessed with this place. I'm not a huge 'soy meat' person so I get their veggie option instead. Drunken noodles and spring rolls are our favorites!

  • 1/5 R M. 3 years ago on Google
    Not good at all, we all felt a little queasy and super gross after eating this place’s food. Tempura appetizer was saturated in oil, it was so bad that the bottom of the container was basically a grease pool. The tofu in the crispy tofu appetizer didn’t seem to be properly pressed based on texture. The pad Thai tasted like damp cardboard and vomit. Cashew nuts entree had soy-based fake chicken that was absolutely disgusting but the flavor of the dish itself was fine. Never again. I have never ate something so bad in my life.

  • 5/5 Stephen G. 3 years ago on Google
    My friends and my expectations were blown away by this place. In 2020, it's no longer a compromise on flavor to go vegan. You could fool a lot of people into thinking the soy shrimp is real shrimp. (Hi Angeleta and Domino!)

  • 5/5 Anneiv E. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious and sumptuous Asian vegan food! You will enjoy the food if you’re into Asian sort ofThai cuisine. The servings was decently portioned, you would not even notice the it meat free for the food is tasty and flavorful! It’s a small restaurant minimal decoration few tables but works well. Staff was friendly and help is with the meal selection in the menu. Overall good experience a little extra for for meal but it’s worth!

  • 5/5 L.E. M. 3 years ago on Google
    I never leave reviews, but after tonight’s order, I think I have to! We got the orange chicken, the yakisoba, and some spring rolls. It was hot and absolutely delicious. We order from vegan plate a lot and it’s always pretty solid but tonight was just fantastic.

  • 5/5 Ashley C. 3 years ago on Google
    Great tasting food!! Big portions with a good mixture of all the ingredients. Definitely going to get food here again. A small, cozy restaurant that's doing a lot of protection for themselves and customers during COVID-19.

  • 5/5 Артем �. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is a blast! I can’t be happier then I am while eating here!!! Food is incredibly tasty! Soy shrimps we got here were like real, texture and taste like omg!!! Staff is friendly and neat! Service is in a great level as well! Thank you for this experience. We will definitely be back<3

  • 2/5 Rebecca P. 3 years ago on Google
    They have a good variety and I have ordered a few different things! Their chow mein was good but the noodles we over done which gave it a weird texture. Would recommend their sushi over everything else they have to offer. It is always fun to have a variety of vegan sushi! Would not recommend having it delivered though as I have been waiting for two hours for my food when it is just supposed to take an hour. Not all of their menu (sushi) is available on door dash which is also unfortunate because their is a higher delivery fee but you can’t track your order and as I mentioned above my current order is an hour late from when they said it would come and still not even here.

  • 5/5 Alyssa M. 4 years ago on Google
    Best yellow Thai curry! Their other dishes are amazing too! But I especially love the yellow curry here! One of my favorite vegan restaurants!

  • 5/5 Rachel H. 4 years ago on Google
    Let me start by saying I am not a vegetarian nor vegan but I was blown away by how good the food is here. The Pad Thai is one of the best meals I’ve ever had, the flavor is unbelievable and I appreciate that it is not sweet. I also really enjoy their crispy tofu, which sounds like it would be plain or boring, but has so much flavor and comes with very tasty dipping sauces. Whether you choose to eat meat or not this place is definitely worth trying because it is absolutely delicious

    I'd drivin right past this place several time but decided to walk in today for their lunch special. OMG! Their vegan Thai Iced Tea was absolutely amazing! And so was their stir fried ginger. I'll definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Theo K. 4 years ago on Google
    Very delicious food with many mock meat options. I was astounded by their tofu chocolate mousse cake - so rich but pleasantly light on the sweetness. They treat you right too

  • 5/5 Rebecca D. 4 years ago on Google
    Great service! Lots of vegan options. Food was tasty; I didn't miss the meat or dairy. Pleasantly surprised especially by the Thai iced tea. Would go with anyone who enjoys Thai or vegan options.

    Very wholesome dishes here. The staff is very friendly, however, their service was a bit alow on a Sunday afternoon. Above all, this is a great place!
