Alice & Friends' Vegan Kitchen

First vegan dinner I had in Chicago, and officially my favorite in the city. Creative and delicious dishes, big menu with lots of options (was a bit overwhelmed by all the choices but the waiter had been kind and helpful when I asked for recs!). We didn't make any reservations, but we had a table outside when we got there. Not heavily decorated or fancy, but as someone who lived in SE Asia for years, it made me extra nostalgic with the style and flavors. Recommend the popcorn nuggets and Cho Mein Noodles! First stop when I come visit again, no doubt.

Delicious! I had the Heavenly Curry and it was so good! The portion was large so I had enough for dinner and leftovers for breakfast (yep it was that good I couldn't wait for lunch). Large portion, decent prices. Seemed to have good gluten free options as well. Edit: Returned for take out and was disappointed to receive half the portion. Edit: Returned again and it's a decent sized portion. For me it's 2 servings at least.

Amazing place, fantastic customer service and the food is delicious. 3 stars only because takeout portion is a joke. This is the 3rd time I’ve gotten takeout (have eaten here probably 20-30 times) and each time I hoped it was just an accident or not common occurrence. My wife got a good amount of food in her takeout (golden breeze for $15.75) but every single time I get takeout my food comes with so little especially for the price. I always feel like I get a much better amount in store. Please fix your portions. The pic is of the wonton soups for $8.95. The paper bowl on the left is the one it comes in for takeout and on the right in how it looks inside a normal sized bowl I use for cereal and soup. Banana for size comparison Update: thanks for responding and looking to staying consistent. All things considered Alice & Friends is definitely one of the better vegan places in town and a must try for any local vegan or not. I got the ramen for my manager (non vegan) once and he claimed it to be one of the best ramen dishes he’s ever tried.

I am not a vegan, and I never will be. But, I was very impressed with my visit to Alice's. The staff is friendly, the restaurant is bright and welcoming, and the food had a surprising amount of flavor. If you are like me and naturally skeptical of vegan restaurants, don't be afraid. If you are a vegan, you just found a great restaurant to satisfy your needs!

The food here is so good it’s confusing. I mean, how long has this gone on without me knowing about it!? I cried eating the wonton soup, because it was simple and delicious—just like how my mom made at home. The popcorn chicken reminded me of walking through the night markets of Taiwan with friends and the mush appetizer was inhaled so quickly I didn’t even take a picture of it. Definitely don’t leave without trying every dessert on the menu!
