In this post, we have a review of Shoal, Sound & Service! Reading, not your style? Watch the video review below!

Food: This was about average. This isn’t a bad thing but most of the restaurants we’ve been to over perform in this area some by comparison, it makes them look like their falling short.

Atmosphere: It was very loud with it being a bar. Some of us are used to bars and some of us aren’t. In general though, it’s loud by a restaurant standard but normal for a bar standard. Just go in with the expectation of being in a bar and you should ok.

Customer Service: This was nearly perfect! We had a very attentive server and the staff was well equipped from an information perspective to answer our questions regarding their food.

Price: We feel that this is the area they could use the most improvement on. As it stands, their food is overpriced. Mainly because the money you’re paying doesn’t match the amounts that you get. For it to be worth it, they would need to either bring the prices down or increase the portions in the entrees

Overall: Our impression is that it’s average with a unique premise. That unique premise being that we have our 1st bar with a FULLY vegan menu which is awesome! Combine that with great service and you have something that’s special. Still, there’s some room for improvement when it comes to their menu.

My Thai Vegan Review! (Irving)

Rating:9.25

In this post, we have a review of My Thai Vegan. Reading, not your style? Watch the video review below!

Food: We found the food to be tasty! Wish I could say more here but that statement sums it up!

Atmosphere: The music was at a reasonable level where we could hear each other talk while also painting a relaxing theme. On top of this, the way they setup the lighting was very ambient. We didn’t go at night but I’d imagine that the lighting would look even more impressive then

Customer Service. We feel that they overdelivered in this area which is refreshing since a lot of resturants lately have been dropping the ball on this. There wasn’t an instance where we ran out of anything or were left unattended.

Price: For the portions we got, it was good deal in terms of price. Some of us actually had some food left over to take home. Their prices were about average for a vegan restaurant but their portions were higher which makes them better then other average priced restaurants here.

Overall: My Thai Vegan is a must try in general but especially if you’re a fan of Thai food, vegan or not.

Casa Del Vegano Review (Oak Cliff)

Food: As shown in the video review, is rare that we have multiple members that give their food a 10. That’s what happened here! Overall the food was tasty and a common theme that we all enjoyed was the generous portions that were given on most plates.

Atmosphere: We enjoy the choice of being able to sit outside and enjoy nature or go inside where there is music. Since we were outside, we’ll speak about that experience. There is the occasional speeding car that drove through that was slightly annoying but that’s really their fault so overall it was a pleasant experience!

Customer Service: This is the area that we felt could use the most improvement. We felt that our table wasn’t given enough attention which lead to us having to ask for everything that we need as opposed to those things being done automatically. They were things like silverware, refills, and answering questions we had. With time, maybe more staff will be added, helping in this area but as it stands, we would say that could do better

Price: The food is a bit pricey but as we mentioned before in the food section, you get generous portions. It all evens out to match the higher prices which is more than I can say for a lot of other vegan restaurants that have the same price but give smaller portions. If I had to pick the highlight of this restaurant, it would be that you really feel like you got what you paid for in terms of food and portions. Going forward, this is something that more vegan restaurants need to work on implementing.

Overall: Overall: It is above average. Casa would be a must try (Rating of 9 or above) but the customer service holds it back currently reaching that. In due time though if that’s corrected then they could easily graduate to must try!

Nuno’s Tacos & Vegmex Grill Review (Richardson)

Category: Vegan

Rating 8.2

On this post, we have a review of Nuno’s Tacos & Vegmex Grill! Reading not your style? Watch the video review below!

Food: We all thought that the food overall was good. When measuring it with other vegan restaurants that we have been to, it’s a little above average. One of us did order a dish that they couldn’t give because they were out of certain ingredients. He ordered something else and liked it but it is worth noting that they didn’t have something on the menu available. It all goes well, over time they can keep better inventory.

Customer service: It was easy to make a reservation and when we got there, the reserved tables were ready. This is a huge plus! They also made sure to keep checking on us threw out the meetup. Overall the customer service was better than a lot of other restaurants we’ve been to. The only thing that brings this area down is at the time of this review, they do not have a website. It has become the norm to have a website if you’re a restaurant and the fact that they do not have one does take away from this area.

Atmosphere: The music in the background paints the theme of a Mexican restaurant. The only difference is, its vegan. The only negative to the atmosphere is that it is a smaller restaurant and with that being the case, it was a tad bit too loud. Nothing that brakes the overall experience though.

Pricing: When compared to other vegan restaurants, the price and portions are about average. Not better or worse.

Overall: It is a little above average. If you’re in the area and you have the munchies, it couldn’t hurt to swing by and see what they have to offer!

Vegan Food House Review (Oak Cliff)

Category: Vegan

Rating: 9.2

The opening of the Vegan food house has probably been the most anticipated vegan restaurant to open this year. With a popular and very successful vegan menu at Da Munchies, the creator Elizabeth Anderson branched off to make her own full vegan restaurant. Ever since then, we’ve been waiting for to open, having the consent reminder of good the Jackfruit nuggets and cauliflower wings tasted at Da munchies (See our review of Da Munchies here). When they opened this spring, it was a no brainier that we had to swing by and i’l glad to say they delivered on that hype! Obviously we enjoyed ourselves at the Vegan Food House. The review is simply the details of that enjoyment. With that being said, lets go into those details!

Food: The theme if this restaurant seems to be vegan junk food and it very much delivers on that front. The entrees of all our dishes were tasty and creative. The only we felt could use a little more attention is the fries as they seem a little too soft. 

Customer Service: Overall very good customer service. The most appealing thing we all took note of was that our food was brought out in Avery good time frame. Water is available for refills anytime you want and is self served. The beverages can be bought at the front. This creates a self serving system eliminating the need to wait for a waiter to come and bring them. When ever you’re ready, you can do it. This is a nice change of pace since we have a big group and sometimes it takes the staff a while to do small things like that at restaurants. Since it is self serving, we very much enjoyed the ability to serve our drinks ourselves and not have to wait.

Atmosphere: When you think Vegan Food House, you may not think it is in an actually house! It is very homey and cosy inside. There music playing at a modest level in the background. Enough to set the mood but not loud enough to disrupt conversations. We’ve yet to encounter this homey time of vibe in a restaurant so it made for a nice change of pace. We found it to our liking.

Pricing: We found that the pricing felt appropriate for what we got. Both in portions and quality. When measuring it against other vegan restaurants, it’s not cheaper but it’s not more expensive either. 

Overall the Vegan Food House had a lot of hype surrounding it and ultimately delivered. This makes them a strong contender for us to return to! For more details, checkout the video review below.
