| - Gotta love Groupon! I doubt I would have bothered going here without seeing it on the deal site. There are so many Asian Veg places where we're from that when in Vegas, it's probably the last cuisine that I'm looking to eat.
While we have a "house of veggies" (two, I believe) in The Bay Area, it's nothing like what they have here in Vegas. Bay Area Vegetarian House = Mostly Vietnamese style food, served with a side of Supreme Master aura. LV Veggie House = Mostly Chinese inspired dishes, served with a Buddhist aura in a tranquil environment, just a short drive from the bustling activity of The Strip.
They really thought out every nook and cranny of the details to their interior decorations. It's nothing fancy, some of it kinda cheesy, yet it all flows together so naturally. I got a kick out of listening to the water fall from the top of the corrugated plastic roof of one of the gazebos.
The waitresses were great. One gal even rearranged our table in a fit of feng shui (or OCD). It's good that they're easy to talk to since the menu descriptions were quite vague or nonexistent at all.
I'm a fan of the Genreral Tso, so that is one of the first things we ordered. Theirs was done as well as any that I've had. Same with the Orange Chicknon. Crispy with a nice tangy sauce. The General coulda been spicier but that's what the house made chili sauce is for.
The dish that truly stood out for me was the Pan Fried Noodle. My coworkers often order this when we go out to eat at non-veg restaurants. After one bite, I can see why. The noodles were crunchy, while the flavorful, thick sauce moistened things up and added an extra layer of flavor.
They have a Curry Roti that was delicious as well. It reminds me of the light, flaky roti that I used to love before I returned to being Vegan. Get two orders of this or you'll be fighting over who gets the last bite.
Even though we were stuffed, my babygirl was drooling over the dessert menu. We went with the fried 'naner and ice cream. So good! They had several ice cream flavors but they were out of most of them so we went with classic vanilla.
You can tell that Chef Kenny puts a lot of love into his food. He'll come out to greet the dinner guests and chat for a bit before disappearing into the kitchen. He just wants to be sure everyone is enjoying the food.
I could spend my entire Vegas vacation in Chinatown. Partly because of Veggie House. They make being Vegan in Vegas a breeze. They do have egg in some items, but if you tell the waitresses that you're Vegan, you'll have no worries.
