"Vegan Enclave"   My Rating
7 amysaunder sbigelow	Posted on: Tuesday, June 30, 2009
	Review: This place is fantastic. As an ENTIRELY vegan restaurant (that doesn't even use honey), it is one-of-a-kind in its area. Especially when driving across NY, it's a great place to stop along the way. They do not serve lunch specials on the weekends, which can make a bill pretty expensive. [For 2 people, we spent $50 for appetizer, entrees, and dessert. When we got just entrees, it was until $30.] Plenty of free parking is available on the street. No alcohol is served or permitted in the restaurant. The Pure City Platter is a lovely sampler, but not very big, so overpriced for what you get. But, it is a great way to try so many of the items that sound delicious. The spare ribs in particular were excellent, as were the veggie nuggets. My experience with veggie nuggets was different than listed by another user. I thought they were like a less-tough version of seitan. The Sesame Veggie Nuggets and the Mixed Diced Vegetable in Taro were great. So was the cheesecake! (though the piece was small for the price)   Pros: everything is so tasty and vegan * variety on menu * quick service Cons: not all that healthy * kind of expensive *

"Yum"   My Rating

	Review: I somehow managed to convince my father to go 20 minutes out of his way to treat me here, and it was worth it! The place is a vegan haven(so lovely to go to a completely vegan restaurant too!), especially in an area which is so sparse with anything remotely related to vegetable cuisine! Even omnis won't be disappointed(the only negative is that means less left-overs for you!) We had a delicious smorgasbord of food that I cannot quite remember, although the mock spare-ribs left a distinct memory because they were rather bland! (normally one of my favorite dishes too D:) They had excellent tea in neat little teacups (couldn't figure out how to drink my green tea at first and my father had actual rosebuds in his!) It's a good thing one of these places is not located by me, otherwise I'd see my savings funneling down fast! The restaurant is actually located near a tiny little health food store that you can walk to afterwords!   Pros: vegan! * healthy * good value Cons: * *

"Pure City makes me Truly Happy!"   My Rating
7 Truly	Posted on: Thursday, March 06, 2008
	Review: I go 30 minutes out of my way often to visit this wonderful restaurant. It is run by a lovely family who are providing a great asset to the town of Pine Bush. Some of my favorite items on the menu include: Golden roll appetizer - a simple but delicious fake meat Veggie nuggets - completely home-made treat consisting of a pastry shell stuffed with a tasty filling and tied up with a veggie "string" of leek (?) before lightly frying Veggie dices Singapore Style mee fun (a small portion but very yummy) Curry Noodle Soup Completely vegan and reasonably priced.   Pros: Great variety * Friendly staff * Very clean Cons: The background music * Closed Sun/Mon *

"Fresh & Wonderful Vegan Food"   My Rating
5 davidmarti ste	Posted on: Sunday, September 09, 2007
	Review: The owner is wonderful and has a book of photos of most dishes if you want to see something first. We love to start with the steamed veggie dumplings. Our fave entrees are the ginger veggie nuggets, the orange flavor and the sizzling soy platter on the gourmet dishes menu... all sure to please any meat eater. As a ginger lover, their fresh slices of ginger throughout the dish is a sure pleaser. They have takes on standard chinese fare as well such as general tso and a veggie protein and broccoli which my niece loved thinking it was chicken and broccoli. The mock-meat style tastes and looks better and fresher than any meat-like fare I've had. If you have the room, top your meal off with the chocolate tofu pie which is like the best chocolate cheesecake or chocolate silk pie you've ever had. Lunches are super cheap too!   Pros: clean * healthy * great value Cons: * *

"Vegan Heaven"   My Rating
4 ozport	Posted on: Saturday, March 31, 2007
	Review: We just ate at Pure City last night for the second time and it was unbelievable! So good in fact that we ordered 2 extra entrees to take home for dinner tonight!!! I highly recommend the veggie protein in orange sauce over asparagus. My DH had the Red Ocean - a kind of sweet and sour - and gave it a big thumbs up too. My only two complaints are: 1. 20 miles from my house & 2. Closed on Sundays and Mondays (my days off). I am trying to convince the manager to offer cooking lessons!   Pros: Wide variety of entrees * Vegan, vegan everywhere * Brown Rice! Cons: Closed Sun & Mon * Small seating area * Far from home...

"Some of the best vegetarian food anywhere"   My Rating
GUEST	Posted on: Sunday, February 18, 2007
	Review: Although this restaurant is not on the beaten path, it is worth the trek. I was looking for a place to celebrate my birthday with a number of friends, who are both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. I have tried many vegetarian restaurants all over the world, and this one is unique, has fabulous food and exceptional service. Bravo to the staff, and owners who are kind, generous, and above all exceptional cooks. Also, excellent desserts... the tofu ice cream is indescribably delicious....a great time in a great place.   Pros: * * Cons: * *
