Dora Tung: Vegans, vegetarians, non vegetarians will love this place. I recommend the Thai chili wings as an appetizer. I love that there is a small lot adjacent to the diner. Rare in Chicago
Amy Graff: Chicago vegan legend. Reuben gets all the love but the truffle melt really, yes, melts my heart. Seitan wings are amazing starters and the peanut butter shake is the best end to your vegan junk feast.
Jeff Early: Great place for a carnivore to take a vegan! Delicious food, do not go expecting it will taste the same as meat, go and explore how good vegetarian can be.

Amy Graff: Quick efficient sit-down service during weekday lunches. Portabella sausage burger is wonderful; vegan ranch dressing is magic.
Kevin Venner: Amazing fresh vegan food in downtown Chicago
Angel Salas: Cool vegan spot with delicious food and refreshments. Definitely not your $5 meal joint though so make sure to come prepared. Aside from that, highly recommended.

Kooter: Best place for vegetarians and vegans. Salads are always incredible.
Jackie B: The best micheladas, menu full of decent vegan and vegetarian food and nice staff. Get the fried pies or (enormous) chocolate cake for dessert.
Sarah: Awesome place with tons of vegan options in Wicker. The Diablos were awesome. Definitely try to get there in time for brunch!

Sarah Mcleod: Delicious vegan cafe. Huge menu. Oklahoma "bacon cheeseburger" was ridiculously good and perfectly messy. I can't wait to eat there again.
Kristen K: Amazing healthy selection! Some fun unique flavors & generous portion sizes. Vegan everything = dairy-free girl's heaven. The "Soul Bowl" was kind of rich with the BBQ & "ranch" dressings but not bad!
Dana Tedesco: I prefer seitan over tempeh, but that's just me. Everything is good here (a little pricey) & worth a try for "new" vegan explorers. Desserts are very Sweet, but Delicious!
Studio Ballion: Quesadilla flor de calabaza is always a great option. You can't go wrong and the menu is huge for veggies and vegans.
Ana Enriquez: Best vegan Mexican restaurant!
Daniel Hauff-Lazar: Authentic taste/texture/cultural environ MINUS the INHERENT VIOLENCE that's in ALL eggs, dairy & meat by SIMPLY ordering: "All vegan, please!" Stand 4 compassion *every* time u eat. MeatVideo.com

Time Out Chicago: Using “Zen meditation cooking energy,” chefs cook vegan dumplings, organic veggies and noodle soups to spicy curry and tofu dishes. The popular green tea vegan ice cream is available in Summer.

Amanda Conner: The vegan dumplings are awesome!
Laviyah Nahum: The vegan biscuits for the Sunday brunch are the only reason to get out of bed on a Sunday morning. I promise.
Daniel Hauff-Lazar: LOVE LOVE LOVE their food! Always a fan of their Mac&Cheeze (vegan and therefore without the inherent violence of the dairy industry! ). Soul Veg is A MUST VISIT when on Chicago's Southside!
Chicago Tribune: The $6 burger-like creation is an impressive feast for the eyes and taste buds, piled high with juicy seitan riblets, tangy barbecue sauce and veggie trimmings on a sturdy vegan bun. Read more.
