Review: The food is great and the staff is nice. I highly recommend the Spicy BBQ and the spring rolls. The Runaway Potato stew Yakisoba and the Himalayan Spirit are all good, too. I don't think you could really go wrong here. Oh and the drinks: sweet cinnamon and ginger tea is good both warm and cold and the Iced Chai Latte is fantastic.
Pros: * *
Cons: * * |

Review: My husband and I visited last month and look foward to visiting again. He had the veggie burger (homemade!) and I had a chick'n rice dish. We split a piece of the vegan chocolate cake. Welcoming environment! Be sure to try the soy jerkey. It's tasty!
Pros: Neat environment * Great food * Easy to find
Cons: White Bread buns for veggie burgers * One bathroom for woman's room * Small portions |

Review: This place is very cute and the presentation of the food is beautiful. I had the Unchicken Thai Curry and it was really good...especially the Unchicken part. Pretty much everything on the menu is Vegan with the exception of the Unduck (just Vegetarian).
Pros: * *
Cons: * * |

• Alice and Friends is now fully Vegan, they removed the UnDuck from the menu. ;). response by SynthVegan

Review: I wish this restaurant were more similar to other Supreme Master Ching Hai restaurants that I enjoy on the West Coast. I would like to see more bad American "Chinese" food on the menu, and more variety.

Review: I visit Chicago often and going to this place is always the first thing on my list to do when I get there. I love this place so much. The food is so good! Every dish I have tried is delicious. You never feel unwelcome by any of the staff here, they always are so friendly. I don't have a single complaint about it, except that it isn't right next door to my bf's apartment because it's my favorite restaurant in Chicago!
Pros: Great food * Nice staff * friendl atmosphere
Cons: * * |

Review: This is my favorite veggie restaurant in Chicago. They're mostly pan-asian. The faux meat is so good. Even my non-vegetarian friends were very satisfied. Wonton soup is just the right one. The vegan cherry cheesecake was like real.
Pros: great food * friendly atmosphere *
Cons: * * |

Review: My name is Raira, the waitress at Alice and Friends whom you have mentioned below. Only after reading your review, I have realized that I totally misunderstood what you had inquired about at that time. I am not a native English speaker and that might be the reason why I did not understand the word "nuked". I thought you were inquiring about "cooked" versus "raw"; therefore, I have said that some of the food is always cooked(nuked). Certainly, the dish you had ordered (Dolsot Bibimbob) is never ever related to any nuked food and maybe that's why you have enjoyed the dish so much. Thanks for enjoying our dish and I want to express deep and sincere apology for causing your concern. In addition, I want to apologize to our hard-working Alice and Friends staffs and our loving family-like regular customers for causing any concerns. Thanks so much for bringing this up so I can have a chance to explain.
Pros: * *
Cons: * * |

Review: Everything seemed bi-polar about this place. The waitress was friendly and rude. Helpful and dispondant. Quite strange if you ask me.
The first dish I got was clearly microwaved. I haven't intentionally used a microwave in 10 years now. Food nuked is obvious for me, especially because of the texture. I asked the waitress to make sure all food wasn't nuked. She told me she would have to look into this as some of the food is always nuked. I did tell her that time was not an issue with us, yet she insisted the it had to be nuked if that dish called for it.
Then she disappeared for a few minutes and verified that everything we ordered was now Microwave free. For the rest of the trip she was friendly, yet without giving us refills on water until the very end.
The only other thing that was negative was the cake. It just wasn't as sweet or good as it looked!!!
As for the food that was microwave free, it was simply some of the best food in the world. Only "Little Africa" in Grand Rapids Michigan is better. I would love to eat at this place again sometime soon.
I'll just be sure to clarify that everything is "NUKE FREE"
Overall is was a 4 "happy cow" experience.
Pros: FOOD * FOOD * FOOD
Cons: Microwave * Wait Staff * |

Review: I went with my girlfriend to Alice and Friends the other night and we had a llovely time. The place is very cozy, the staff is super friendly, and the food was really good. The only comment I have to make is that I did not realize that their menu was going to be asian food, and so that took me by surprise. But if that's what you're in the mood for, then Alice and Friends cannot be beat!
Pros: Extremely friendly * Comfy atmosphere * Really good food
Cons: There * Are * None |

Review: This is my very favorite veggie restaurant in the world! The food is in a league of its own. The atmosphere is simple and unpretentious. As the other reviewer mentioned, there is this spiritual group thing going on, but it not pushed on to you. The video is always playing and it is definitley odd but seems harmless. The smoked duck is crazy-great. I also love the teriyaki un-chicken. The only negative thing about the food is their tendency to use iceberg lettuce in the side salads. They definitley are coming at vegetarianism from the compassion angle rather than the health angle (not that there\'s anything wrong with that). All in all, this place is a treasure. All of my carnivore friends love it, too.
Pros: * *
Cons: * * |
