The Vegetable Hunter

I love The Vegetable Hunter. It’s my all-time fave vegan spot (and I used to live in NYC, where vegan options were plentiful). Although I would love to try everything on the menu I’m too obsessed with the tofu banh mi sandwich to get anything else. (It’s so good I almost finished it before taking the pic). It’s literally the most perfect sandwich. The micro-brewed beer and chickpea salad are favorites of my (meat-eating) boyfriend and the baked goods are so good you would never know they were vegan. The staff is also super friendly and kind. Infinite stars!!!

Once again, The Vegetable Hunter has delivered: on deliciousness, on colorfulness, on kindness. As a self-designated Kindness Curator, I go around to different places looking for the perfect pairings of goods/services and kindness. The Vegetable Hunter is one of those few places that has mastered the customer experience. I recommend dining on the second floor where there are guitars you strum in between luscious bites. I also recommend leaning over and asking your stranger-neighbor what they got and if they like it. The last time I did that, my stranger-neighbor and I became fast friends and exchanged pictures of rainbows from our travels. We hug. Beautiful energy was exchanged. Our auras expanded that day. Who know what miracle you might experience when you go! #GodIsAwesome #JesusIsLord #ParacleteIsPowerful

Coming from a meat eating person, everything was great. The chickpea salad is a little spicy which was a pleasant surprise, and the kale salad was amazing as well. I forgot that vegans don't eat dairy products and got halfway through my pesto grilled cheese without realizing it! Everything is fresh and delicious, thank you!

had we known when we ordered the wait (in what appeared to be an empty restaurant) would be 45 minutes for two burgers, we would have eaten elsewhere. the ordering staff was kind and apologetic but wouldn’t budge in getting out food out any faster. i asked at 20 minutes and 30 minutes (they’re almost done making the chick’n upstairs) and finally because of a timed tour at the capitol we asked for our meal to go, and sat there on the capitol grounds “enjoying” our now cold sandwiches. 45 minutes later we got our to-go bag. maybe it was a fluke. the food was tasty but quite salty. it’s hard to leave a best review when service, especially in these times, is so much a part of the experience. we had an indoor table. but once again, as it’s been for over a year now, we ended up with massive plastic and tin foil packaging, and messed around cold food. the opportunity for something so much better was right there! a shame we didn’t get to take advantage of that.
