    My new favorite restaurant in Houston! Amazing service, incredible vegan and gf food, and great vibe. We came here for the first time today to celebrate my birthday and we had a lovely experience. We ordered the mushroom pizza, fajitas, and cheesy tofu sticks and everything was delicious and so flavorful! Because it was my birthday, we got a brownie and lemonades on the house. The staff was so kind to us and our waiter Max was incredibly friendly and attentive. We love the vibe, aesthetic, and love for detail of the restaurant. The restaurant is 100% vegan and most dishes are glutenfree. They have all-day, everyday brunch with many glutenfree options (even pancakes and French toast). Our waiter Max was also very knowledgeable on gluten and made sure it was safe for us to eat. We’ve been talking for a while that we’d love to have a nicer, fancier vegan sit-down restaurant in Houston and our prayers were answered with The Ginger Mule. This will be our date spot from now on. We will for sure be back this weekend to try the brunch, I can’t wait! 100% recommend!

    Came for brunch, and really enjoyed the atmosphere and if you didn’t tell me this place was all vegan I would have no idea. The pancakes were awesome, and the carnitas tacos were delicious. Definitely pricey, but the quality of food is worth it. They also have espresso (but no almond milk) and a full bar.

    We have been so excited for the restaurant to open and it didn't disappoint! Everything was just exceptional. My 5 yr old ate an entire grilled cheese and all of the sweet potato fries. The omelette and french toast were perfect for brunch. The burger might be the best plant based burger I've ever had. Bravo!! We will certainly be back soon.

    This place is amazing - it's as good, if not better than, some of the best restaurants we've been to in London. Seriously fantastic food and great service. Everything we've tried so far has been delicious, thoughtfully and uniquely prepared, and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. We've tied most of their desserts, their massive hummus plate, curry with crispy tofu, "fried rice your way", a few of their salads, and "fish" tacos, which have all been amazing. I look forward to trying the rest of their menu.

    Wow! Finally a healthy AND delicious plant based sit down restaurant, centrally located, that has an amazing ambiance!!! Perfect lunch/brunch spot or a special date night spot! We tried so much food and it was all delicious! You really can't go wrong with anything you order. The cocktails were insanely good! Some of the pictures were taken after a few bites! 🤣

    Food was great, service was perfect. Homemade habanero hot sauce was great with the omelette and very spicy. Some of the best veggie sausage I've had. Really good sweet potato waffle fries!

    I’m here quite often and I must say I will be continuing to frequent this establishment!! The food is off the chain! I forgot to mention it’s all plant-based!! My favorite dish is the fried rice your way. They also have lunch specials that comes with a smaller portion and a dessert. You can beat healthy food for a great price!

    Firstly, it is hands down the best restaurant vegan meal I’ve ever had. Our server Eli did a great job checking in with us and recommending options that exceeded expectations. The in house hot sauce is no joke and deliciously killer. The tres leches is on point

    was around the area and decided to check this place out. walking in, i loved the bright, airy and spacious vibe. they have these cute murals here and there with flowers and plants. it was raining today so sitting by the windows was perf. i was greeted right away and from this moment to the end, everything, the service and dining experience, was 👌👌 i got the vermicelli salad and pancakes. oh btw this place is a vegan restaurant. im not vegan but i sometimes vegan restaurants have way yummier food than reg spots.. anyways the vermicelli salad was delicious. very fresh, generous portion, i loved the sauce that came with it... i finished the whole thing ! also got the pancakes, i remember trying vegan pancake previously and it was kinda chewy. this was just like that. this small cute little round pancake smelled so good. the whipcream, berry and syrup were necessary. overall im glad i decided to give this place a try. I know for a fact that just because it's a vegan restaurant doesnt mean the food is all healthy and disgusting. ive been to other vegan restaurants as well and most of the time the food really good. so i recommend this place. they have wide variety of dishes to choose from. i def want to go back and try other ones. parking is easy, in the lot. and the price was fair.

    My husband and I had a lovely experience dining here. We came during the week and our server was so kind and thoughtful with conversation and helping us find the right selection. Our food was delicious. We ordered cheesy tofu sticks, lasagna and the curry. The flavors were beautiful and this is a great vegan restaurant we will be visiting again.

    I’ll start by stating that I’m happy this location remains a vegan restaurant. The one prior was super delish and great customer service. The Ginger Mule though! Wow. Just wow. I never thought I’d love a place so much. It was lunch time when I went so they have brunch and lunch specials. That sold me. You really get a lot of food even with some of the portions being half size. Gives you a chance to taste a variety of foods all in one. Matcha Mojito (Mocktail) was stellar so I’m sure the libations(alcoholic beverages) are as good. The food didn’t take too much time to make and I’m glad they spaced it out with not bringing all my food out at once. Things I tried- Tofu cheesy sticks- self explanatory and yes, they are yummyyyy Sancocho- who knew soup could be so satisfying!!! Warning- if you don’t love cilantro, stay away Margherita pizza- actually haven’t had a vegan one yet AND the crust was so fresh!! Brownie- chef’s kiss I want to highlight that not only is it a vegan restaurant but they have an abundance of gluten free options which made my heart light up!!! I haven’t been able to find too many vegan AND gluten free options. This place did not MISS!! Excellent customer service. Top tier dishes. Beautiful ambiance. 1000 out of 1000 you have to try even if you’re not vegan. PLEASE GO HERE!

    Can’t say enough about the Ginger Mule. The food is absolutely amazing and feels so clean/healthy. I never leave feeling guilty about my meals! They have great gluten-free options, which is especially important for me. Such a cute and cozy place. I highly recommend the watermelon basil agua fresca!

    Top notch vegan + gluten free food! Can't say enough great things about this restaurant, such great food and great atmosphere. Restaurant is modern, trendy, and lively, but not too loud. Staff was very nice and helpful, we can't wait to visit again when we're back in town! Lots of free parking nearby, wheelchair accessible.

    I came here with my brokerage for a soft opening. The owner was there - he was great. Our waiter was friendly and the food was delicious. I’m not vegan but I wasn’t able to tell that everything was plant based. It was amazing as were the drinks! I highly recommend anyone vegan or non vegan to check this place out!

    Five stars all around! This is one of the best plant based restaurants I have ever been to. Everything was incredible. Atmosphere, food presentation, the food itself, service, all of it. I will definitely be back whenever I am in Houston. Not sure how to spell my server’s name but it was something like Ralio. He was very kind and attentive.

    Brand new restaurant with great service and pretty venue! The prices are good and the portions are filling! I can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu! PS they are closed on Monday and aren’t serving a full menu YET

    Hands down best vegan restaurant I’ve been to! The service was amazing and so was the food. Would recommend the cheesy tofu sticks, enchiladas, and the Jupiter’s medley w/French toast .
