Delicious Chinese Food - Edit
We really enjoyed our meal at Veggie House! Food is labeled if contains eggs or dairy, so it's easy to tell what is vegan on the menu. Everything was delicious. I LOVED the tempura! I would definitely order that again next time. Can't wait to try more of their menu!

Yummy Food! - Edit
Read moreI've lived in Chicago very long time and I am embarrassed that this was my first time to Chinatown. What A cool neighborhood. This restaurant was out of this world. There's so many options and the food was delicious. I'm pretty sure that they are completely vegan, I don't remember seeing any vegetarian items on the menu.
Pros: Delicious food, Great service

Orange tofu! 🔥🔥 - Edit
When I come I love getting their orange tofu, vegetable tempura! I tried their veggie house dumplings, they were okay, I was hoping for something with more flavor. The sauce complimented it well though. Will definitely come back to try more things!

Loved it so much I hit take out for lunch the next day. Can’t wait to go back.

Run - Edit
Tons of great options with vegan vs vegetarian (and gf) clearly marked. BYOB so bring a cooler! We had a few sushi rolls that were the monthly specials, Mongolian “Beef”, “Beef” Fried Rice, and a noodle dish. Everything was fantastic but the Mongolian Beef was the real stand out. Look forward to coming back and trying more dishes!

Excellent vegan oasis in challenging area of Chicago - Edit
While there are some excellent vegan restaurants in Chicago, not many exist in the Chinatown neighborhood. This place, while not fully vegan, comes close, and everything we have had here is absolutely excellent. Dumplings, fried rice, all the tofu… The Kung Pao was especially fantastic. You can’t go wrong!
Read morePros: Almost all vegan, Everything is delicious, Great, quick service
Cons: Not completely vegan

Actually has vegetables - Edit
I feel like a lot of the vegan food in Chicago is fake meat stuff, and I wanted something that actually resembled a plant. I was not disappointed! Nearly the entire menu is vegan, a few options contain egg or milk but those are clearly labelled.

Great All-Veg Option in Chinatown - Edit
Perfect place to stop while exploring Chinatown, convenient location and nice interior (very nice bathrooms lol). Large all-vegetarian menu with many vegan options. I ordered the Orange Tofu and my two non-veg friends ordered the Kung Pao Tofu.

Salt overload - Edit
Based on the reviews, I was expecting everything to be really amazing. Almost every dish we ordered was way too salty. The server came by and asked how was everything, we told her, but nothing resolved. I really wanted to take my leftovers, that is why I ordered 6 dishes split between 2. Maybe it was an off day but will try this place another time and to ease up on the salt.
Read morePros: Quick service, Fresh and crisp
Cons: Too salty, Management did not resolve complaint

Brilliant little place - Edit
Great veggie / vegan little place, around 20 mins walk from the McCormick convention centre. Really enjoyed my Mongolian Soy Beef with rice. Portions are really good size. Everyone around the table enjoyed the food - I was the only vegan. Goes to show - great food. Not a bad price either. Nice interior.

I found vegan treasure in Chinatown - Edit
As a treat to my friend from Taiwan, we went to Veggie House, new since September 2020. Even though all the items are vegetarian, most are vegan. My friend and I split the Veggie House dumplings and the Mapo Tofu, which were new for me. I ordered the Korean noodles, which I couldn't finish because I was so full. We each took home doggie boxes. (Yes, we became four-legged.:) This makes #8 of the vegan restaurants on Chicago's south and southwest sides.:) I plan to try the spring roll with glass noodles, the sesame rice ball and a lion's mane mushroom dish in future visits.
Read morePros: Delicious food, Great service, Close to Red Line(public train) to avoid parking
Cons: Public parking has misleading sign for fees

Yummy vegan Asian - Edit
It was yummy, sometimes a little sweet for my tastes but had good things on offer, WE ordered vegetable spring rolls, spicy dumplings, deep fried wantons, Thai crispy tofu, Hot and sour Soup, Mongolian Soy Beef, Kung Pao Chicken and Bochoy. The most disappointing dish was the spring rolls, for a Chinese/Asian place they could do this better.
Read moreI was not keen on the Thai crispy tofu but I didn't pick it as I normally don't like such dishes anyway.
The spicy dumplings, deep fried wantons and Hot and sour dishes were good.
I felt Mongolian Soy Beef could of have been better but was decent.
Highlights were the Bochoy which was very juicy and the Kung Pao Chicken.
Pros: Good mock meats asian style
Cons: spring rolls, a little sweet

Wonderful food and staff! - Edit
I come here at least once a week, it’s amazing and the food is awesome! I love the mongolian beef, spicy dumplings, fried rice, and so much more! I have taken many people here who eat meat and have yet to hear one complaint! I’m so grateful for this opening, it’s so close to me and convenient. I order delivery sometimes twice a week sometimes and almost have gotten through the entire menu!
