This restaurant ( NEW LOCATION)was very good . Keep in mind I am NOT vegan but my wife is . So this spot give us a place to meet her food needs and for us to have a friendly compromise . I can truly say that the food doesn't taste Vegan. It is actually delicious. The service was very pleasant and inviting. Although the restaurant is on the smaller side it's quite cozy. If I would give one complaint I would say that they didn't have a large enough coffee cup. It was very tiny I would say a 4oz cup instead of a 6 or 12oz. Overall will I go back ABSOLUTELY..

I'm torn with this one. Taste-wise, most of our food was good, but the presentation was, well, bad. Let's talk about the rib dinner: it's made from jackfruit and really does taste like meat. It's pretty good, but it looked like it was just slapped down on the plate...bbq sauce smeared along the sides of the plate...pretty slapdash. It came with two sides, which, if plated with the ribs, might have looked better. But the side of Mac & cheese came separately in a cup, and the side of truffle fries came in a styrofoam clamshell. The Mac was decent... not cheesy but had a good flavor. The fries were lukewarm and soggy and left a greasy pool of oil at the bottom. It was definitely small portions.... Not enough to fill my husband's stomach. He ate half of my meal...which brings me to the next dish: burrito bowl. This was quite filling, flavorful, and large-portioned. It was nicely presented, even if in a plastic bowl. They were out of a lot of things on the menu, and there was no dessert to be seen, which was disappointing because vegan desserts are hard to come by. I was hoping for more creative dishes and ingredients, but it was mainly typical restaurant fare ( hamburgers, fish, tacos , fries) but just with vegan meat swapped in for real meat. Not saying it wasn't good...just not really creative. I can see this being more of a take-out place. I don't recommend it as a destination.

They're going to relocate soon to downtown. Vegan mac and cheese is hard apparently lol, but it was good here, thank goodness. The burgers and rib dinner is nice, it's very casual but I don't know anything about the space they're going to have soon in the future. I believe they'll do extremely well in their new location because right now they're lowkey in the cut. The service was very friendly and casual. The menu you see online is different from the one in the restaurant, so if you're looking for something on the menu maybe just ask.

First time coming here after being recommended by a colleague. I had the pleasure of checking out this restaurant. It's a hard to find place that's very new but the hours are really wacky. Everything here is vegan and they have tons of items I've never seen before in a vegan establishment.They highly recommend you pay cash, they do orders to go too if you don't want to dine in. It does take a while for their food to make but it's absolutely worth it from pork-less sandwiches, veggie dogs, their own take of Seafood its all really good and moderately priced

Soulful Vegan is a whole vibe in the building. In the Valley of Akron, Ohio. Vegan where? No animal products in this food. You can eat healthy and still have the flavors of soul food. The food was perfect in presentation. The menu had a variety of selections. Your favorite foods all in one place from burgers and fries to rib and chicken dinners with two sides. When you leave there full and satisfied without the heavyweight in the pit of your gut. You will find yourself purchasing ready to go gallons of soursop tea, sea moss and diet tea. It's a must if you're in the Akron Area. 1730 Merriman Rd, Akron, Ohio

Wow - can't believe we've been driving past this place for 6 months! We got the Buffalo wings, Mac and cheese, loaded fries and a Buffalo chicken sandwich and it was SO delicious! This is a great spot for any runners and bikers on the towpath who need a meal too! We will certainly be back.

Searching for vegan restaurants yesterday and came upon this restaurant. I ordered the fish sandwich and my friend ordered the rib dinner. My fish sandwich was a nice size and pretty tasty however, my friends rib dinner literally had one small piece of rib in the dinner. A small portion of greens and Mac and cheese. It was pretty tasty but for 23.00. Not worth it. It should at least come with 3 pieces of rib for 23.00. IMO, 23.00 was way way way too much money to charge for that. My friend left the restaurant still hungry. I've never ever been anywhere where they give you one small piece of rib vegan or not. It should of been offered as a kids meal. Shameful.

This place is never open, at the new location or the old location and all of the sites say something different. Your food is good but this business model is extremely poor. Wouldn't recommend.

Amazing food! I love the Mac n cheese! Love the Burgers!! Moving from Arizona where there are a lot of great vegan options, I appreciate the one in Akron that just stands out!! But literally only one option here with Vegan leads me to appreciate The Soulful Vegan even the more! I also am waiting for more whole food options too
