It is now open until 6 pm on Sundays. This place is great! It’s a lot of food for a great deal and the staff is very friendly and enthusiastic about how all their drumsticks and ‘meats’ are soy. They also have a selection of vegan desserts like Oreo cake, cheesecake, pumpkin pie. They don’t just have fake meats though, they also have fresh vegetables like pumpkin and potatoes. Really great and convenient, pick four things and go.

Hey Urbanis–enjoy! and spread the word–sometimes it seems a little sad in there, but the food has always been good in my experience.

I’m a vegetarian who’s lived uptown for two years now and have never been particularly excited by the local dining scene, so I am overjoyed to hear about nearby vegetarian restaurant that’s receiving rave reviews. My gorgeous gay recluse, thank you for putting this place on my radar! I can’t wait to visit.

Hi! I work here on weekends and it is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thanks for the great review by the way-a few people have mentioned it when they’ve come in! We’re not open on Sundays yet but we will be soon!

Thanks Mariko — you should try it! I’ve been back several times and I continue to really like this place. I have a friend who actually ordered the “chicken” terriyaki and thought it was real chicken even after he ate it! (I personally don’t care about that sort of distinction — like it’s fine to me if it doesn’t taste like meat — but I thought it was funny, and the food does look a LOT like meat.)

Thanks, Rose Fox! I’m not a vegetarian either (mostly out of laziness because Stephen does more of the cooking, and he’s one of those people who definitely needs meat to stay healthy), but I would still recommend this place over Dallas BBQ or Chinese take-out (or at least half the time!)

Six kinds of awesome! I’m not a vegetarian, but I immediately forwarded this to two local veg folks (one of them the fellow who runs Inwoodite, which I hope will also give the place a review) and a friend who often comes up to visit. I’m sure they’ll get lots of eager visitors once the word gets out. Looks like a decent space, too.
