Decent selection

I was pleasantly surprised at the options available. You do have to ask for the vegetarian/ vegan/ GF menu as the options are not integrated in the standard menu.
I got an order of vegan parm truffle fries for the table, and they were devoured by everyone. I ordered the vegan traditional poke bowl and found it quite enjoyable. At first, I thought it was a little bland until I discovered the pile of chili crisp hiding under some greens and integrated it with the whole bowl.
Two of my companions ordered meals that came w fries, and they both said they were ruined by how much better the vegan parm truffle fries were.

Pros: Options, Flavor, Clearly marked vegan items

Cons: Integrate the menu to include vegan options

Great venue for all occasions

I eat frequently at Crave because it is easy to identify and order vegan menu items, not to mention the food and atmosphere are both fantastic.

The menu has a large plant-based section that includes vegan (or veganizable) Starters & Sushi, Soups & Salads, Entrees, and Burgers. Everything is clearly marked. Menu items with VEGAN in the menu title are 100% vegan. Items with the GO VEGAN designation are menu items that can be made vegan with the noted substitutions. There is a caret symbol [^] to indicate a dish with a component that has been fried in a mixed-use fryer (namely fries).

This is a great venue with an upscale yet casual atmosphere suitable for all occasions…informal, formal, business or otherwise.

Excellent

I got the truffle fries and stir fry and added vegan chicken. Both were excellent and had to take 1/2 of it with us since it was so much food.

Pros: Several options for vegans. Both main dishes and , Nice atmosphere , Friendly staff and great service

Crave MOA

Food is ok but I expect much better for the price. The vegan truffle fries are good. Had a flatbread that was clearly just a premade dry cracker type crust and a salad which they neglected to put the vegan chicken on. We did get the cost of the added vegan chicken taken off our bill but over all it was a mostly disappointing experience.

Pros: Clearly lists vegan options on the menu

Cons: Expensive

Nice but Not Special

There’s a nice array of vegan options and they are clearly marked in the menu which was very helpful. I got the vegan parmesan truffle fries w/ garlic aioli and the southwestern veggie burger ( I believe that was the name). The fries were fine( nothing special) but the garlic aioli was really tasty. The burger was meh, kind of bland but I wouldn’t say it was bad. If I was to go again I would defiantly get one of the vegan sushi options instead.

Pros: Variety of clearly marked vegan options

Cons: Bland

Vegan friendly mall food

Out of all the sit down restaurants in MOA, this is probably the most vegan friendly. The menu is huge and there are two pages dedicated wholly to plant based foods, and vegan options or modifications are clearly marked.

I got the vegan truffle fries on a recommendation and they were so good!! I also got one of the vegan rolls (cucumber, maybe?) and really enjoyed it.

Our server was so nice and made sure to clearly explain what was and what wasn’t vegan. She was incredibly helpful and it’s clear that the staff knows what they’re serving.

Overall very good for a group sit-down meal at a busy mall!

Pros: Clearly marked vegan options (multiple), Excellent service

If you find yourself in Mall of America, this is a great option

For Mall food, Crave is fantastic. Many vegan options, including flatbreads, salads, pasta, noodles. This is a "sit-down" restaurant with servers and one of those menus that takes up 10 pages, so it's neither cheap nor the greatest food you'll ever eat. However, my family enjoyed our meal during a day of shopping and walking indoors.

Pros: Plenty of vegan options, tasty, wine and beer

Cons: price

something for everyone

Was at the Mall of America with my sister (sorta-paleo omni) and brother-in-law (open-minded omni) and was looking for a place where we all could have good choices. This turned out to be it. They have a separate vegan menu, which makes ordering so nice and easy. Really enjoyed jerk tofu and pasta bolognese. There are several things on the menu I would like to go back and try, too. Wonderful service and pleasant atmosphere.

It must be hard to run a restaurant at the MOA -- you really have to try to please all of the people all of the time while selling very high volume. As a result, I was very surprised to have such a high-quality meal in such pleasant, quiet surroundings -- like a little oasis in the otherwise hectic and loud mall.

Pros: Impressive variety of good food, Surprisingly calm surroundings

Cons: On the expensive side

I will Crave this dish

Love that one of the servers overheard me asking about vegan options and ran over to tell me about the meatball dish which did not disappoint.

Pros: Vegan items clearly labeled , Options to veganize are described, Vegan dessert option
