Amazing - Edit
I bought a whole bunch because I was super hungry and then took it on the train back to the hotel about 30 minutes after ordering.
Read moreI got the salt and pepper shitake mushroom
The mongolian soy beef
Taiwan noodle
Orange tofu
Fried oyster mushroom
And even while mostly cold and being trekked across Chicago, the food is the best we've had in Chicago.
Gotta try it.
It also marks non-vegan options rather than the other way around, so much safer for allergen concerns.
Pros: Food is amazing even while cold, Service was fast and very polite., Definitely got my money's worth
Cons: There isn't one in Omaha , Not enough advertising for them, It wasn't packed like it deserves to be

good food - Edit
We really enjoyed our food here, even though it wasn't easy to choose, because at first sight it wasn't obvious what food is or isn't vegan.

Delicious, quick, fair - Edit
Lovely vegetarian hen in Chinatown. It's very obvious what isn't vegan (most things are), the food is simple and yet delicious and fairly priced. Will definitely come back to try more of the menu.

Big love for Veggie House - Edit
If you are in or near Chinatown don't miss out on Veggie House!
Read moreWe got take away and ate it in Ping Tom Park. The orange tofu appetizer was so delicious. The tofu was crispy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. The pot stickers were crispy and had scrumptious filling. The Singapore noodles were tasty. I'm not sure what the mock crab meat and mock bbq pork were made out of. Maybe tofu? The sesame balls were really good too. The toasted sesame seeds were a nice touch.
We will definitely come here again next time we're in Chicago!
Pros: Delicious , Most items are vegan, Dishes containing dairy or egg are clearly labeled

Pretty good! - Edit
I love Chinese food, so it’s great to have a place in Chinatown with lots and lots of options for us veggie folk.
Read moreI got the spicy dumplings and the Taiwan noodles. Both were good, dumplings were not super spicy but had good flavor. The noodles were yummy and I really liked the marinated tofu in them.
My only complaint is that the dumplings came out lukewarm. They still tasted good, but would’ve been much better if they were nice and hot. Overall, a good spot though and I will definitely try them again.
Pros: Lots of options, Good flavor
Cons: Lukewarm food, A little pricey for what it is

Good food. Reasonable price - Edit
All vegetarian, mostly vegan restaurant in Chinatown. Everything can have tofu. We had curry vegetables and tofu which was wonderfully spiced and full of fresh veggies and tofu. Also had eggplant dish with tofu. That sauce was nice and the eggplant well cooked. Had frozen veggies in it which was a little turnoff. Up charge for brown rice.
Read moreService was quick and friendly.
Pros: All veggie so huge choices, Great sauces
Cons: Some frozen veggies in one dish.

Mongolian soy beef 5/5 - Edit
I’ve had Veggie House both dine in and take out. In both cases the food is fantastic (though I always ask for extra veggies!) The restaurant is small and nothing fancy, but always great 👍

One of those meals where you can’t wait to be hungry again so you can eat your leftovers!
Read moreKids loved the wontons and fried tofu (spicy sauce on the side), adults loved all the spicy food (dumplings, tofu).

Can't wait to come back - Edit
Got takeout twice and thought it was just alright as a vegan option in the area. Then I stopped in one day this winter and learned that this place makes incredible food and I was completely mistaken! I can't wait to come back!

Tasty food, efficient service. - Edit
Note that Apple Maps will direct you to the back side of the restaurant. When we arrived we were confused and thought the restaurant was closed. You just need to go around to the other side of the building.

Best place I've been to - Edit
I loved the Kung Pao Plant Based Chicken!!! It was really tasty and the texture and taste of the "chicken" was one of the best I've tried. I will definitely visit again when I return to Chinatown! I also ordered the Mapo Tofu; it was good as well, but not very spicy.
Read morePros: Just about anything can be made vegan, Nice environment, Great customer service
Cons: Gets busy in the later hours of the day

Veggie Food in Chinatown! - Edit
Since going vegan, I really haven't had any Chinese food, so I was very pleased to find a dedicated vegetarian restaurant in Chinatown! The place is small, clean, and bright. They don't bring out hot tea (green tea, in this case) automatically, you do need to order it. I ordered the wonton soup, Mongolian Soy Beef, and Singapore Noodles (with BBQ "pork" and veggie "shrimp"). Everything was very tasty! The menu does, helpfully, tell you what items contain egg or dairy. I will definitely come back!

Go go go! - Edit
OMG! I have missed good take out since going vegan, and this place blew my mind! They had all the classic Chinese rake out dishes. Everything I got tasted exactly like what I remember prior to being vegan. I got sweet and sour chicken, vegan salt & pepper shrimp, wonton soup, and bean paste dessert rice balls. Everything was heavenly and wish I had stuff like this where I lived. I will definitely be back when I'm in the Chicago area again! Heck, I'd travel just for this food! I love that it's located in Chinatown too, which is a very cool area! The menu labeled what wasn't vegan/had egg & dairy.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Huge portions!, So tasty!

My New Favorite Vegan Chinese Restaurant! - Edit
Out of 5 vegan-friendly dining spots, Veggie House was the vegan dining highlight of our trip! The vegan shrimp alone would have made our trip to Chicago worth it and I also loved the wonton soup, mushroom "chicken" sweet and sour dish, and the sesame rice dessert ball topped everything off. If you're looking for an authentic full-menu Chinese restaurant as a vegan or vegetarian, then this is the place to try. #Veganuary
Read morePros: Vegan shrimp!, Authentic

Wonderful Vegan Chinese Spot - Edit
It is so wonderful to see another vegan friendly Chinese spot in the city.
Read moreTheir menu is a mix of vegetarian/vegan dishes that are served family style. Aside from the obvious culprits like dairy and eggs, you should be able to get a mix of vegan dishes if that is your desire. We checked with our server just to make sure.
We ordered a few dishes including their Spicy Dumplings, House Fried Rice, Kung Pao Tofu, and Mushroom Medley. Everything was super flavorful and not too salty, and came in massive portion sizes. My favorite dish was definitely the tofu but I love any dish that uses this amazing soy product.
I saw that they had sushi in the photos but we didn't see anything like that on the menu. They must have taken it off but if it ever returns, you bet I'll try to come back to try it once more.
Service was super attentive and we were taken care of very well. It also never got crowded even on a Sunday afternoon, which I attribute to folx not realizing how amazing and delicious going plant-based could be!
Pros: Excellent portion sizes for family style
