So good - Edit
I love native foods and tend to go to this location every time I take the train in since it’s such a short walk. Mostly fake chicken products, it hits the spot when that kind of stuff used to be your favorite food! The Buffalo chicken wings could be hotter, but the cauliflower wings are also the perfect crispy ness. Highly recommend.

Great Flavors - Edit
There are lots of solid options, all of which are pretty exciting to try, but although the food was good there’s nothing too special about it. Solid options, good flavors, but pretty standard vegan mock meat options. Dessert was very good though and they had different options than most restaurants!

Good food, but why is everything still disposable? - Edit
I ate here on my amtrak layover. The food was pretty good, but I was really disappointed that all of their plates/containers and utensils were disposable. I understand this was probably put in place during the pandemic, but we all know now that there is basically no chance of spreading COVID through surfaces, so this is now unnecessary and is just creating waste. They did have compostable utensils and containers (but not the little cups with the sauces), but these are pretty useless when they only have trash receptacles and nowhere for these to be composted. They can do better.

Cons: Disposable everything, Compostable items, but nowhere to compost them

Yummy vegan fast food - Edit
Fantastic, all-vegan fast food joint! Tons of options to fit your craving.
Read moreWe tried the oatmeal cookie, cauliflower po boy, orange cauliflower; both entrees were delicious and crispy with large portions, and we had them at our table before we'd even finished the cookie!
My only complaint would be the orange cauliflower was a little lacking in flavor.
Pros: Generous portions for the price!, Super fast service (had our food in a few minutes), Variety of options and delicious desserts
Cons: Orange cauliflower could be more flavorful

Quick and mildly tasty - Edit
While the ongoing pandemic has limited the seating area and provided plenty of opportunity to enjoy this place outside of the restaurant, it’s menu gives a wide range of different vegan dishes (burgers, bowls, wraps) that could certainly use a little more zest. The meals are decently priced, but seem to be missing something that makes it memorable

A little expensive but good! - Edit
This isn't health food, but it is amazing. I have not eaten fast food since June, so I don't feel at all guilty about the gastropub burger. I skipped the tomato bacon jam and added avacado and it really hit the spot. I appreciated that theybgive detailed allergen info because I have a nut allergy but not coconut. Their website makes it easy to know what to order. The delivery was super fast, too.
Read moreThe burger, side, two water bottles and two sides of ranch ended up costing $30 with delivery and tip, which is more than I'd bspend typically. It was worth it today, though. I'll be eating here again when I return to Chicago.
Pros: Tasty, fast, awesome allergen notes
Cons: Expensive, lots of oil, not healthy food

Solid vegan place - Edit
Pretty good food, though smallish portions for the price. Buddha bowl was good; cauliflower bites with thai sauce were great.

Excellant - Edit
Ok, so I’m new at a plant based lifestyle, but this place rocks! I had the pastrami burger and my wife had the cauliflower chick pea shawarma. It was fantastic. We were greeted with a warm smile and heartfelt ‘hello’ The people who work here made great food even better. Wish I didn’t live 1200 miles away

A marinated signature made-with-plants burger patty, tomato bacon jam, Follow Your Heart® smoked Gouda, fried onion rings, arugula, and plant-based mayo. Served on a toasted pretzel bun.

somewhat niche - Edit
I'm not a fan of fake meat, but this place had a sufficiently broad menu that I figured it would work out fine. Perhaps I didn't read the menu carefully enough, or didn't quite know what to expect. At any rate, the result was pretty disappointing. The best way to describe this, I think, is what the US calls "comfort food" (heavy, fried stuff), even on dishes that I don't think should be served that way.
Read moreSpecifically, I ordered the orange cauliflower and the brussels sprouts, which were the two least "comfort"-looking options. The cauliflower dish's bed of grain was great, but the part I was most looking forward to — the cauliflower itself — was a huge disappointment: essentially uncooked cauliflower, deep-fried. It was hard, uncooked, and lacked any interesting flavor. The brussels sprouts also came deep fried, in a flavorful sauce. However, the sprouts themselves were chewy, the coating got soggy after a while, and in general I felt bloated and heavy from it. I gave up two-third of the way through.
I think it could have been fine if I was really craving comfort food. I was instead hoping for a decent, at-least-semi-healthy meal.
The worst part is, all this deep-frying didn't improve anything. Good frying can impart or deeply enhance flavor. This didn't; it just coated the vegetables and made them greasy, but the veggies themselves seemed unprepared. So even peeling off the fried layer did not help.
As I was leaving, I saw someone else's salad, and it looked pretty good. So I suspect this place has promise. I'd just say, skip anything fried.
Pros: extensive menu, several locations
Cons: greasy, heavy, too fried

Makes me so Happy! - Edit
This place makes me so happy! 100% vegan and a whole menu of fun items to select. It’s quite comforting to have a whole menu to select from; raw salad to a “shawarma” wrap fries. The menu also discloses gluten free, nut-free, and high protein items. This location is open to 9pm most nights. Super bonus, especially for downtown/business district Chicago.
