Yah's is a new vegan restaurant located near the lake on 75th street. Although one of it's main competitors (Soul Veg) is near by, I much prefer Yah's. Yes it is smaller, but we had no problem being seated and the service was both friendly and timely.

My friend and I ordered the same exact thing, the dinner plate ($10), which consisted of a v-chop, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, and fried cornbread. I didn't particularly care for the v-chop, but my friend loved it...he ate both of ours and even went on to say that it tasted like pork (maybe that's why I didn't care for it too much?). I loved the mashed potatoes, although I did have to salt them a bit. The mac & cheese was good, but I found it to be a bit on the oily side. Lastly, the fried cornbread was just amazing. Needless to say, between the two of us, we polished off both plates.

I'm very impressed with Yah's especially since they've only been open for a few months, I will definitely be back.

I ordered the special on Sunday Feb 7. I had to wait a bit, but it was well worth my wait. I highly recommend the portabella - When I got home, I took the patty off my dinner and made a sandwich - the portabella, lettuce, tomato, and Veganaise. It was exquisite!

Pros: excellent food,, good value, friendly staff
Cons: Slight wait after it opened
