Incredible vegan sushi - Edit
This is the best vegan sushi we've had so far! My omni partner did not miss fish at all. Ordered a carryout on Thanksgiving and the owners were so nice. We really liked the gyoza and the sushi. The pad Thai was also good. Everything was delicious, freshly prepared, and beautiful. Will definitely be back for more!

all time favorite!!!! - Edit
this is one of my top favorite restaurants in the chicago area.. ive been going here since 2018 and the food has always been consistently good. my favorite dish is the katsu curry and you absolutely need to get a thai tea every time you visit. i tried one of their sushi rolls recently and it's also very, very good! i also like their kung pao soy chicken. i don't think you can choose anything wrong. 🐮❤️

Decent - Edit
I came for a little early dinner as I had missed lunch. Ordered the chicken katsu curry and a Thai tea lemonade. Drink excellent. The food was decent but not super flavorful. The crunch on the katsu was nice. Super friendly service and fast

One of the best - Edit
We were really surprised by the great taste. First we had some fish nuggets, and they were super crispy and just delicious. Then we had a Pad Thai and Tom Yam Goong Ramen, spicy, and it was just as good if not better!

Fantastic Thai!! - Edit
I can’t believe it took me so long to try this place, I’ll definitely be going here regularly! Lots of gluten free options, though fryer is shared with gluten items. They told me they clean pans before making things for people with gluten allergies, and my girlfriend with celiac didn’t feel sick after the meal😄food was fresh and tasty, can’t wait to try more menu items!

Hearty Tasty Vegan Thai - Edit
If you want delicious filling food this is the place to go.
Read moreI recommend the Curry Gyoza appetizer, the flavors in the curry were perfectly balanced, like an angel's song in liquid form.
I also had the Pad Thai, which was the best Pad Thai I've ever tasted.
Pros: Incredible flavor , Entree big enough for 2 people or leftovers, Very nice staff and peaceful atmosphere

Vegan Plate - Edit
I got the Fried Rice w/ extra beef. Overall pretty good. Not blown away, but good food. The vegetables were definitely fresh. In hindsight I would have gotten the pepper steak instead.
Read moreMy wife got the Kung Pao chicken and it was insanely good. I would 100% get that of we were to ever go back.
The man working that waited on us was very friendly and welcoming.
Pros: Very friendly staff , Tons of options
Cons: Parking

Amazing! - Edit
Good ambiance and friendly staff. The appetizer tofu miso soup was perfect on a chilly spring day. The entree didn’t disappoint either—I will be dreaming about the kung pao chicken for a longggg time! And the banana spring rolls were so good—definitely try it if you are craving something sweet.

Really wanted to like this place... - Edit
We ordered ahead due to travelling through Chicago on a road trip. Upon arrival, we learned that their "system had an error" and our order was not printed so we waited in the restaurant for about 15 minutes while they prepared our food. As a result, it felt that our dishes were cooked in haste, as several of the vegetables were still partially raw and the soy chicken was really, really soft. We were surprised by the red(?) rice with our dishes, as we've never encountered that before when eating Thai. I was appreciative that they took such effort to ensure we got our food, but we were quite disappointed by the quality. I'd be open to trying this place again to see if dining in the venue resulted in a different experience.

Sorry you had a bad meal. Vegan Plate is one of my favorite places in Chicago, and I’m a big fan of the family the runs it, so I may be a bit biased. :)
Read moreI can’t say I have ever had a bad meal at VP. They are amazingly consistent. The “chicken” they used for the dish you ordered is likely the thinly sliced tvp, as opposed to the “chicken” they use for the orange chicken. Some people love it, I think it’s good, but I go with the “soy beef.”
The “purple rice“ is brown rice. I much prefer it to white rice. Brown rice is served in Thailand. But, just like here in the United States, most restaurants serve white rice. That’s what you are used to when you go to a Thai restaurant. That doesn’t mean that the purple rice is not authentically Thai.

Amazing food and selection - Edit
There were so many good options here, it was hard to choose what to order. We ended up ordering too much between us, but everything that we had lived up to the expectations. Everything was tasty and had great flavor profiles, and the staff were very friendly and warm.

Vegan asian comfort food - Edit
If you want classic asian comfort food that is vegan, this is the place. The food is good, not great, but it perfectly scratches the itch for Friday-night takeout or a nice, quick dinner date. Would recommend and will be going back.

One of the best places ever! - Edit
My husband and I went here during vacation and loved it! He got the Spicy Fried Rice with “shrimp,” and asked for medium spice, which was perfect for him. I got the Drunken Noodles with soy beef, mild spice, and it was so good! We also split Spring Rolls, which were good. Would definitely come back here again!

Mixed experience - Edit
We enjoyed the appetizers, which were delicious and beautifully presented - tofu sataay and spring rolls. The entree a cashew dish with tofu added was uneven: the pineapple in it was salty and the tofu had an odd consistency and seemed to have an aftertaste.
Read moreThe red rice was prepared in a style that was mushy and starchy.
Service was minimal: we were the only patrons inside and no takeout orders were happening.

A fave - Edit
I always get it to go or delivered because it is a small seating area. The glass noodle salad is so good--herby, limey, tart, spicy! Their orange tofu is also a fave if you like sweet sauces. Great Thai iced tea

Would give more stars if I could 🙂 - Edit
Don’t walk, RUN to this little gem! This is one of the finds I would have never discovered without the app. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but this place is amazing! Had the Drunken Noodles and it was exactly what I needed being completely jet lagged and hangry. Everything was fresh, spiced to my liking, the staff was ever so friendly and the prices are more than decent while portion sizes are huge. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!
