St. Veg

Food is so good! And pretty much everything is under 15 dollars, very easy to get an affordable decent meal.

Short story first: oily, deep fried, no flavor, no authenticity, salty, expensive, oily. We were driving from Delaware to Virginia and went out of our way to give this a try. Over $45 later we wish we stayed on i95. We tried the Mumbai Burger with potato bun and tater tots, Japanese Katsu Curry Bowl, and threw in a baked apple pie for dessert. Now, to enjoy this place, you must love flavorless oily salty deep fried food. The katsu, burger patty, and tater tots were deep fried. The curry had no flavor. The rice wasn't Japanese style, it was more like Uncle Ben's. And the burger patty was spicy but flavorless. Hand-grated tater tots? Oily, salty, otherwise tasteless. We hoped the apple pie would save the meal. Nope. It tasted oily as well, so I was surprised to find out it was advertised as baked. I wasn't going to do a review until I learned we spent $45 on this atrocity of a meal. So the only reason we're posting is for other people who want to spend their money on fresh REAL food, not tasteless salty oily deep fried food. Thank you for offering a pretty vegan option for people who love flavorless deep fried food. Everyone else: stay away!

Sadly the quality of food has gone down at St. Veg over the years. I used to be an avid long-time customer and enjoy making the trek from McLean. Mom's Caramel Tofu was disappointing, the tofu was really stiff and hard and the rice was very clumpy. The distribution of the ingredients was a bit off and seemed to be thrown together with the tofu, spinach, and rice.The Cauliflower Bites were soggy and thrown in a bag. The No Guilt Burger was very bland. The staff member grumpily greeted me and I seemed to bother her with my take-out order. I paid $50 for 2 subpar dishes, an app, and lavender iced tea.

My husband and I are always on the lookout for a good vegetarian place. This was our first time here and he got the mumbai burger and I got the caramelized tofu with pickled vegetables. Both were really good the Mumbai Burger had just the right amount of Indian spices and the tater tots it came with were nice and crispy. The burger has hot spices too, so be prepared for a little burn. Overall it's a nice "fast food" treat. The tofu was a lot of food I ended up taking half home. The pickled veges and tofu went really well together. I'd definitely get it again. We also got the hot lavender and the lavender lemonade. They were ok, I make this at home sometimes and I feel like mine is a little better so I don't think I'd get drinks again.

Such a perfect spot. I love that it's all plant based and dare I say, healthy. I had one of their bowls and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were perfect and I didn't feel overstuffed once I finished eating. The service was a little slow, but very friendly. I would come here again. I do wish they had better desert options

I have been visiting St Veg for more than a year and I am amazed with how the quality is so consistent. It had been awhile since I enjoyed the Flavor Bomb Pho Dip Sandwich, and after the first bite I was flooded with memories of my first visit to St Veg and why I love this business so much.The service at St Veg is great! You are always greeted with warmth and for fresh made food it comes out pretty fast! St Veg takes no short cuts. Their burger patties, baguettes, tater tots, and proteins are all made in-house. While on the surface this business has a fast causal vibe, the effort put in behind the scenes is tremendous and I am impressed with how efficiently this business runs.Over the years my most purchased meals are for sure the Flavor Bomb Sandwich, Vegloaf Bowl, and the Katsu Curry Bowl. On a "treat yo self" day I get the mushroom BBQ burger because it comes with tots which are too good to not eat all in one sitting. I cannot be trusted with that side by myself. When I go to St Veg in the afternoon I get their coffee because the cashew milk they make from scratch is the best nondairy milk of all time. It makes their coffee taste so heavenly. When I am staying off the caffeine their lavender tea is something I get every visit. It has so much flavor and is the perfect refreshment any time of the year. St Veg always has plenty of seating to accomadate a solo outing or even a large group. I host a vegan meetup monthly and we have packed 20 hungry vegans in without disturbing the normal flow of customers. I am so happy St Veg exists for the vegan community and any nonvegans wanting to try a vegan meal. The food is excellent, service is way above average, and this local business is truly a gem.

9.5.23I am generally a carnivore and stay away from veggies, but my friend suggested this establishment so I gave it a try. I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed my Shredded Medley banh mi which had tofu, jicama, sweet potato, bean threads, pickled daikon and carrots, cucumber slices, and cilantro. If I didn't know what was in it, I would have thought meat was in there, it was that good and deceptive. The fresh lemonade didn't taste fresh to me and I had to ask for sugar. Orders are placed at one of the two kiosks, however, staff is available for assistance, which I had to ask for.The restaurant was recognized as Best Vegan Restaurant by Bethesda Magazine in January 2022. Go check them out and see if you agree.

A niche restaurant that is right up my alley. So plant based with fresh ingredients. I had the Mumbai bowl and another bowl. The staff was friendly and willing to answer any questions I had. The business isn't very large so big crowds either with here. Because the food is prepared fresh so it'll take between 15-20 minutes depending on what you order. New Year's resolution to eat better? Check this place out!

Incredibly tasty and healthy food. Anne the owner is super helpful and you can tell how much she cares about her food and customers. Highly highly recommend!

Indifferent service. Order at a screen separated from a sullen worker by a partition. Food was ok. A vegan pho was just ok, with a wan broth. Starters were roasted mushrooms, which were fine. The other main was rice with vegan potato patties. Indian flavors. Ok, but nothing to exclaim over. Lavender iced tea was nice. The eating area was freezing, which may have contributed to our so so experience. Coming from DC, doubt we'd make a repeat trip.
