Jasmine 26 is a great, urban-chic and modern restaurant whose food quality and prices are excellent. Given the atmosphere of the restaurant, they could easily charge 50% more per dish, but most of their vegetarian/vegan items max out at $12. This is a great place to take a date or to just relax with a cocktail. The vegetarian crepe and the veggie spring rolls are both wonderful (the mint in the spring rolls transforms them into something special); the crepe is especially unusual and portion sizes are huge. This restaurant is a great value. The menu is definitely not the same as their sister restaurant, Jasmine Deli---if anything, this place could use a couple of the veggie dishes served at the Deli. Service is always friendly and they have a nice bar and drink menu. The hours are great for nighthawks looking for a meal or drink after the 9 p.m. close of most other restaurants. My only gripe is that they don't offer enough vegan dishes; they could use at least two or three more on the menu and I'd give them another star. But as it stands, this is a wonderful addition to the city and a far worthier, tastier and cheaper competitor to Azia next door. Jasmine 26 is not to be missed.
Pros: Atmosphere, Service, Unusual food, low prices
Cons: Not 100% vegetarian, Needs more vegan dishes, No website
