Pretty good Vegan Buffet! - Edit
Not everything they had was my favorite, but dinner was pretty affordable ($30 for 2 people), and they had some great noodles and very cute and tasty sesame balls. Staff was nice and quick to take plates when we finished eating and getting seconds didn't seem to be an extra charge.

Wish I lived in Houston for this restaurant alone! - Edit
Everything I tried, was delicious I’m from Chicago and I wish this restaurant was in my own city. I’m hoping everyone will come to this place. There were some serious high frequency vibrations at this restaurant. After drinking some hot tea and having the veggie dry ball that had sautéed lotus and tree mushrooms in it, I left, feeling high and on top of this world. I seriously believe that the people at this restaurant are the sweetest and most genuine individuals and I wish I could take them home with me. I can’t wait to visit Houston again simply for this restaurant. Go there they are kind, compassionate and accommodating. I saw them accommodate a man with a disability who struggled with his hand, and a server helped him open his utensils, and it was the sweetest gesture had ever seen. They kept coming over to our table to pour our hot tea for us checking in on us and making sure that we took our leftovers home. I can go on and on but all I will say is that this little restaurant in a strip mall will surprise you and you will leave there naturally high on life.

Average buffet - Edit
I had the buffet. The flavor of the food was quite bland. It was nothing amazing but it wasn't bad either. It's buffet food so I don't expect gourmet. But I have been to other buffets with better quality. I'd probably eat here again, but it wouldn't be a first choice, at least not the buffet.

Amazing buffet & kind service - Edit
Loved it. We had no idea there was a buffet here when we found it in Yelp but thanks to the hospitable and attentive service we happily changed plans to try a little of a lot on our first visit. Everything was well cooked and very tasty, even though servers said if we came earlier it would be even more fresh we weren’t at all disappointed. I wish there were some more condiments to make the dishes a little spicier but understand the buffet being mild. I look forward to ordered a menu item from the kitchen soon!

Veggies, Brown Rice, and Great Taste! - Edit
Visiting Houston, I found they have lots of vegan food, but not much is whole food plant-based - something my wife and I try to adhere to. My first night here, I had dietary restrictions for a medical test the next day. After searching menus, it seemed my best bet was here - "Tofu Vegetables", with added broccoli and mushrooms. Delicious, and a large portion - perfect! And during my stay here, I returned a couple of times - "General Tso's Tofu" (with added vegetables) and "Garlic Sauce Eggplant" (with added tofu and other veggies). Also with large portions! And, I was able to request brown rice - I like white rice, but brown rice is much better for me, and not always available. It is here! And it's not stuck together in one big lump, as I've encountered elsewhere.
Read moreI only ordered for takeout, but the restaurant has something of a buffet station that was getting a lot of traffic when I picked up my food. And a possible drawback: I didn't have trouble parking, but it's not abundant.
Aside from that small potential caveat, I look forward to visiting "Trendy Vegan" and trying more of their menu when I return to Houston!
Pros: Real vegetables!, Good brown rice., Great TASTE!
Cons: Somewhat tight parking., They're not in Denver!

Sadly disappointing - Edit
We used to LOVE Peppertree (the wonderful vegan restaurant this replaced), so we had high hopes for this place, despite the ridiculous name. Alas, we were disappointed. Only one dish (the ramen) was actually bad, but nothing was particularly good.
Read more• Sautéed Brussels sprouts - Not sautéed long enough and the sauce, despite the large chunks of garlic, was bland
• Salt and pepper tofu - OK flavor, but mushy rather than crispy (maybe our fault for ordering delivery; might be better at the restaurant)
• Tofu vegetables - Blah
• General Tso tofu - Blah
• Ramen - Looked wonderful, tasted terrible (inedible broth)
It’s a fairly large menu (though tiny compared to Peppertree), so I’d give it another chance ordering different dishes, but I wouldn’t order anything we had again.

Sichuan flavors are incredible. - Edit
We visited Houston (wrong time since there was a tornado warning, but it had to happen) and we sincerely had a blast. This place was our dinner and it was certainly a great choice. Great options for sharing, calm, quiet vibe, and the staff was wonderful. We had 3 plates to share- mapo tofu, Singapore noodles, and udon noodle bowl, plus Thai iced tea. Please stop by this place for a tasty, fulfilling, calm dinner while in Houston!

If you like it spicy, get the vegetable in dry pot. Just the right amount of chili and onion.

A must try in the Houston/Galleria area!! - Edit
Such a pretty little restaurant!! The food and staff were equally as amazing. I also eat gluten free and they were more than accommodating for that as well. I had the bento box with the green Thai curry (with tofu instead of tempeh), and got a side of spring rolls and veggie bao, everything to go. The baos were my favorite thing!! Slightly sweet with seaweed inside and had a great texture. Everything that came in the bento box had great flavor and individually very tasty, from the kale salad, to the Dan Dan noodles, and also included rice and a spring roll. I can't recommend this place enough! My only complaint is I wish we didn't live an hour away :)

Incredible asian food 100% Vegan - Edit
It was delicious from atart to finish. Contactless order is convenient, and staff checked up often. But all of that pales in comparison to the food which is sublime. I ordered the fried mushrooms purple puffs and japanese curry udon all of which blew me away and i would highly recommend. The creamy wasabi that accompanied the mushrooms was incredible!!!!

Excellent Food - Edit
Such fresh tasty dishes with a large selection, 100% vegan. Clean bright place. Very friendly and attentive staff. Food was extremely fast. We had the steamed dumplings and garlic cucumbers as appetizers, and the were excellent. We also had the green curry tempeh and the garlic eggplant with brown rice. The rice was nice and firm but tender. The eggplant dish was excellent and we enjoyed it more than the green curry. Thai tea was also very good. We are happy with our choice and really enjoyed our meal.
