Lovely Thai - Edit
When the chicken pad Thai is good, everything else follows. Great orange chicken too!

Large menu - Edit
Three and a half stars. I have ordered here several times for takeout. The menu is large and everyone will find something they like with a mix of vegetables, tofu, and mock meats. I have loved a few things and thought others were not my favorite preparation of the dish (the seafood tom yum soup was spicy and sour, but also rather sweet). The Thai iced tea is delicious!

Spring Head - Edit
Pad Sew Ewe is and always will be my go to for trying out any new Thia place.
Read moreThe noddles were fine. Broccoli a little under cooked. Tofu a little soft and tasteless and noodles maybe a little too sugary but good enough. I enjoyed my experience.
It gets another star though because the SPRING ROLLS ARE SMAZE.

Forgotten flavors - Edit
It's always great to be able to choose anything on the menu! We started with the grand tempura which unlike other places we go, included pumpkin and vegan shrimp. Both were amazing additions to the plate. I had a sweet and sour chicken and was excited for a taste I hadn't had in many years. My husband had a green curry with fish. He said the curry was fantastic but the fish protein wasn't a good combination with it. The Thai iced tea was sweet and thankfully didn't taste like coconut, which they sometimes do.

A Mixed Bag - Edit
My sister had the Pad Sew Ew and loved it. I got the orange 'chicken' tofu. It had a LOT of sugary sweet orange sauce. While eating it I enjoyed the flavor, but the day after I felt quite sick. I really do recommend this place, but perhaps stay away from orange tofu.

Flavorful dishes & AWESOME portions - Edit
First off the service was great!
Read moreI went in a party of three, and was the only vegan so I was hoping the other two would enjoy their dishes still. They definitely did: they had great things to say about the imitation meat! I tried their orders of veggie dumplings (the sauce was delicious!!) and teriyaki soy chicken and WOW that stuff was tasty.
I got the pad thai with tofu (good!) and banana rolls (INCREDIBLE, definitely order!) The servings were SO filling: I had to squish the rest of my plate into a takeout box.
This place is great for mixed-diet groups and for having an actual MEAL: you will not leave hungry!!
Pros: Great service, Good meat replacements, Excellent portions

Excellent! - Edit
Urban Vegan is one of my favorite vegan restaurants in Chicago! I discovered it back in October 2020 and I am always pleased with the food I order. They have a variety of meals that are delicious. (My personal favorites: soy orange chicken, spring rolls, and the veggie dumplings)

Our go-to Thai place - Edit
We’ve been frequenting Urban Vegan since it was in the little shop front around the corner. It’s bigger but has all the same great food. We often have the lunch or dinner combo and several appetizers. We have never had bad service or bad food and the prices are very reasonable. Discount for cash or for ordering online from their website directly.
Read morePros: It’s all consistently delicious , A great variety
Cons: Everything comes out ASAP so order in stages

Great options - Edit
I fell in love with their red curry with tofu first and have since ordered their American broccoli with pepper steak, green curry, yellow curry and chicken nuggets. Everything is always delicious and fresh.

Had a great and quick dinner here in 2018. Soy "orange chicken" was great--good flavor, well-fried. Everything we had was good. All-vegan menu, which is always a treat for me.

Decent - Edit
One of the few places to find vegan Thai Ice coffee and tea. I had Banana spring rolls where I found the portion too small (only two pieces for $4) and the interior of the restaurant is not the most aesthetically pleasing, yet the menu is large and the service prompt.

YES! Go! - Edit
In addition to being vegan I have a bunch of sensitivities but felt great after my meal at Urban Vegan. It’s really tasty food made with care. My carnivorous kids love it too. Nice detail is that they provide good condiments like Bragg aminos and beverages like Zevia.

Felt the need to leave a review to offset the negative review some lazy person left below complaining about their delivery boundaries. 🙄 get over yourself.

Very good and afordable vegan food - Edit
I went there for lunch and really liked the experience. The staff was very friendly, the menu offers many, many options so it was hard to choose! All the dishes I took were excellent. In particular, I recommend the tofu skewers with satay sauce and the curry dumplings. Their desserts were very nice too and portions are generous for the price.

loved it! - Edit
This was a great find! I had a combination plate which means you got a main dish, two spring rolls, rice and a little side salad. The pumpkin, eggplant and tofu dish that I chose was excellent with a bit of a kick. However the absolute not to be missed choice is the sticky rice. Best I've ever had anywhere!

Best Vegan Thai Food in Chicago - Edit
This tiny, adorable storefront serves authentic and delicious Thai food ... and the best part is you don't have to even ask about fish sauce because it's all vegan. In addition to tofu protein options include imitation fish, shrimp, chicken, and pepper steak. I am a big fan of the fake chicken satay and the curries with the fake fish. I love that the curries come with a sticky pile of red rice. The only downside is that some of the dishes, like the PET (Pumpkin, eggplant and tofu) are a little boring and the noodles can be overcooked.
Read morePros: Good Value, Friendly Staff, Cute Decor
Cons: Limited seating
