Great dinner - Edit
Good meal. The popcorn chicken was a nice starter and the Burmese noodle salad was simple but amazing, one of the better dishes I ate in Chicago. The kung pao was almost inedible for me, the sauce was bitter/burnt so that was a miss but I’d still like to return sometime to try other stuff because I liked the concept/menu/staff/etc.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! 🧡 We’re so happy you enjoyed our popcorn chicken and Burmese noodle salad, and that our concept, menu, and team made a positive impression. We’re sorry the Kung Pao didn’t hit the mark and that the sauce was disappointing. We appreciate you giving us a try and would love to welcome you back to explore more of our menu.

Vegan Jewel of Chicago - Edit
I think Alice and Friends is one of the vegan jewels of Chicago. Very delicious- Try their laksa. Amazing in general not just for vegan style. I'm crazy so I wish they were still a Loving Hut location, prefer that to the Wonderland rebrand.. Glad they're still vegan though

Yummy dumplings - Edit
Enjoyed the dumplings and the Mac and cheese with broccoli. The Mac was a little salty but not problematic. Also got the bao buns, they were very large but it was mostly the bao and not the filling. The filling was delicious, there just wasn’t much of it. I would get the dumplings again and the Mac and cheese, not the bao buns.

Pros: Dumplings, Mac and cheese

Chicago’s Best Vegan - Edit
This is our current top favorite vegan restaurant. We eat here once a week and it never disappoints. You can’t go wrong with almost any options here. The only meal I ever regretted ordering was the run away potato and the only reason I regretted it was because it was too spicy for my tolerance at the time. My favorite dishes are the corn chowder, the noble burger, the bi bim bop and the ramen.

Hands down favorite vegan restaurant - Edit
My favorite vegan restaurant in the city with no exaggeration. Everything I've had on the menu has been really great and there's so much variety. I take just about everyone here and they always love it. It's really hard to pick a favorite dish but I would have to go with the tonkutso ramen or the laksa! Labeling is also super clear

So flavorful! Generous portions! - Edit
I ordered their kung pao and chose the soybean protein - it was SO yummy! I probably could’ve made at least two meals out of it, but it was so delicious I finished it all at once.

The chashu, are you kidding me? The crispy mushrooms? The broth? Truly awesome. More robust flavors than any other ramen I’ve tried. I got takeout, but I’m looking forward to dining in sometime!

One of the best restaurants ever - Edit
Alice & Friends’ Vegan Kitchen is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to, with excellent service and amazing food. They don’t take reservations but we showed up with a party of 13 people on a Sunday and we had no problem getting a table that fit all of us, we didn’t even have to wait. All of our food was brought out quickly after we ordered it, and it was absolutely delicious. The appetizers were just as good, if not better, than the actual entrees. I also recommend any of the desserts on the menu. They even have mango lassi. I’ll let the photos do the rest of the talking…

Exceptionally good food. - Edit
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago. It truly is great food. It’s also really friendly people and good service. Many years ago, this was a Loving Hut. They switched away from the Loving Hut brand, but it’s of a very similar style of food.
Read moreI think they make the best bahn mi in Chicago. I think they also make the best vegan tiramisu I’ve ever had.

Best vegan place in chicago - Edit
Wow what can I say, this place was amazing. After deliberating for a long time (sooo many great choices) I decided on one of my faves, the Laksa soup. Something I had in Malaysia, I love ordering this. Rice noodles cooked perfectly, just spicy enough, loads of veggies and tofu, with a lemon wedge to finish out the flavor experience.
Read moreI had also a lychee beer which was tasty and very soft.
Dessert was chocolate mousse cake, squishy sweet chocolate delight!
I love this place, the vibe is great and food is phenomenal. I'm one happy and well fed unicorn!

Best Vegan Ramen - Edit
Better a late review than nothing! I had lunch here in winter, and to warm myself up I had the pork bao bun and the ramen. I’d never had a bao bun before, nevertheless the presentation looked good and it was tasty.
Read moreThe star of the show without a doubt was the ramen. I was amazed at the taste and texture of what I call “facon” (fake bacon); it had umami and had a nice chewy texture. My belly was filled with this big bowl of yummy-ness. Definitely reordering next winter.
