Probably one of the best vegan restaurants I have been to in the city. The green curry dumplings are amazing and ask for extra rice because you will want it for the left green curry sauce.

I have passed urban vegan many times when I have been driving around. Have to say this small local restraunt is a hidden gem! Let me get into it! The food here is beyond amazing. I order the freshy roll and they were very fresh and every bite made me want more. The orange chicken is the best orange chicken I have ever had any where. If I could have this dish every day I would. The pad Thai reminded me of when I had it while I was vacationing in Thailand! The service was all star level. The waitress that served me walked me around the menu and filled my water when she saw it was low. Hard to find places where waitresses are that attentive. The atmosphere or ambiance like I like to call it, perfect. The natural light from the outside and the decor and music that placed really was pleasant. Overall, I will say give urban vegan a try. The experience will want to keep you coming back as the food and service speak for themself!

I really enjoyed the food and ambience in this restaurant! The vibes inside are chill-- it's spacious and nicely decorated, good for groups both large and small. Service is quick and the staff are very friendly. The lunch and dinner combos are the same portion size, but dinner is $1 more. The portions are large, and the variety of spring rolls, salad, entree, and rice makes it worth it. I got the Praram's Plate Combo with Soy Chicken. The soy chicken was good, but I think I generally prefer the texture of soy beef more. Still, it was very tender with a meat-like texture, and the peanut sauce was creamy and flavorful (the highlight of the dish, for sure). The spinach added fresh flavor and color. The purple rice was a little hard, but tasted good. The egg rolls were crispy and piping hot. The prices are not low, but they're pretty standard compared to similar vegan Thai restaurants in Chicago. The menu is also pretty similar to some of the other nearby vegan Thai restaurants, but the options are nonetheless diverse and expansive, and I'm looking forward to trying more items on the menu with different protein types too! --Price (relative to peers): 4/5Food: 4.5/5Ambience: 4.5/5Service: 5/5Overall Value: 4.5/5

This restaurant is my all time favorite vegan Thai restaurant in Chicago!Their crispy 'chicken' nuggets are so delicious with their sweet chili sauce. If it's your first time here, you must try their vegan orange chicken and the impossible basil beef! It will not disappoint you. The servings are big and one entree is big enough for 2 people.Their Thai iced coffee with soy milk is a little too sweet for me, so I'd probably ask for no sugar next time. Give this place a try and you will not be disappointed!

I had an hour to kill in the area and stopped in for a quick lunch. I had the yellow curry with soy chicken lunch combo, which included two small spring rolls, a small salad, and some wild rice. I didn't love the soy chicken and I wish the salad would've had more cucumber/veggies and less lettuce, but otherwise it was a great meal. A solid amount of food and super tasty, tasted just like other yellow curries I've had with meat! Next time, I would get it with tofu instead.

This cheery, funky restaurant serves up very good food. Its mango with sticky rice got rave reviews from some in our party, and I thoroughly liked my green power salad with peanut dressing.I wasn't as wild about the golden tofu, just because I prefer extra firm tofu and this tofu seemed kind of spongey and watery (switching to a different kind might help, imho). Their French fries are excellent, however, and their Impossible burger totally won over a meat-eating dining companion.Overall, worth a return visit if I'm in the Ravenswood/Andersonville area.

from 0 to a 100...i didn't even realize i had eaten here/reviewed this place before! this is now my go-to uber eats when i'm looking for a fail proof meal after a week of running around and snacking on your kids' leftovers :(chicken katsu with red rice and broccoli. i can't explain it but the broccoli is steamed to perfection--just the right amount of crisp (no oil or butter or seasoning - just natural yum)the curry gyozas is another go to if i want to change it up or plain gyozas to supplement the katsu. everything is packaged so well to go.

This place is amazing! I've been watching them grow and expand. Food is excellent even if you're not a vegan. Service is superb can't speak to delivery times I've only been in with my family.Family friendly and understanding of my curious toddler. Panang curry is my favorite here, all the vegetables are fresh and crisp I've developed serious cravings for this dish :) They've just moved and you can tell that they're working on decor and final look, but that shouldn't deter you from coming here. Place is spotless and clean. Healthy and affordable perfect place from when I need a break from cooking! Keep it up Urban Vegan this neighborhood needs you!

Love! Love! Love this place! Amazing as usual and open on Christmas Day which made for a perfect feast. Their panang curry with tofu is absolutely perfect. The tempura is extra fluffy and cooked just right. I tried the impossible Jasmine rice for the first time and we gobbled it down. I've also ordered the orange chicken and pad see-ew before and devoured it. Spring rolls, gyoza and fried rice all excellent. Everything at this restaurant is above and beyond. I feel so lucky to have an amazing Chinese and Thai option that is vegan. It's the only place I will go to in Chicago for this type of food.

Have passed by this restaurant several times and thought it was American vegan. After looking at the website, my interest piqued when I saw that it was Thai.The tom yum soup came in a huge bowl. There wasn't the sour that is present in tom yum soup. Also missing or was very faint was ginger or galangal. There was the sweet and a nice amount of pepper. I ordered the soup with tofu, which was a good choice.The panang had a tasty flavor. It was, however, sweeter than I am accustomed to in panang. The dish came with red and green bell pepper, tofu, and wild rice on the side.Not bad since Thai cuisine is full of flavor. That kicks up bland tofu several notches. I didn't try any dishes that would put me in mind of having meat. I went pure vegan and glad of it. Those who like meat may enjoy seitan or other menu items that are meat inspired.
