I'm would actually give Veggie Delight just two stars, but I think the taste of the food bumps it up just a bit. There aren't many restaurants in Las Vegas that are solely dedicated to serving vegetarian/vegan options. So, I will be back - but they could honestly work on a few things.
I was going to try to call in my order, because I don't live very close by and I was going to be taking my two year old niece with me. I didn't want to have to place my order and have to wait with my niece in tote.
Anyhow, I called twice in a 15 minute time period, only to have the phone ring and receive a message that the voicemail system was not set up. I didn't know if the place would even still be open - I thought that it may have possibly went out of business recently, since no one was answering the phone.
I decided to venture out anyway and if they were closed, I would just have to find an alternative. When we got there, there was a group of three dining and their food looked delicious. So, I was excited to give it a try. The place is very dingy inside though. It truly is a hole in the wall restaurant, but I always worry about the actually cleanliness of the kitchen when a place looks that run down. (could just be the lighting and linoleum!)
The service was horrible. When I walked in, the woman behind the counter immediately asked me what I wanted. I politely told her that I would like to look at a menu briefly, because it was my first time there. i was actually a bit confused, because there were so many "meat" options on the menu and I wasn't sure if the dish was actually served with real meat or if it was a meat substitute. I'm not huge on meat substitutes. I find that there are usually too many additives and sodium so I try to opt for something else. I was very curious, however, and I really wanted to ask questions about the menu, but the woman was concentrating on balancing receipts and never looked up to help me. I literally stood at the counter waiting right in front of her for two minutes before she looked up.
We ordered the Lemon Grass "Beef" and the Tofu with Mixed Vegetables. i asked for both entrees to be vegan, which you have to pay a dollar extra for. For the life of me, i don't understand why I had to pay a dollar more to make Tofu with Mixed Vegetables vegan.
We also ordered Watermelon and Lychee slushes. They were delicious and I slurped my down on the way home. My niece really liked the Tofu and vegetables. She thought it tasted like chicken.
I'm actually a very good, creative cook - but I also love dining out and love to see what places have to offer. I was disappointed, because I was really going to Veggie Delight to have a restaurant experience (even though I was ordering out. - anywhere else I order out, people at least smile and ask me if I have any questions about the menu!) I could have made everything that I ordered myself.
I'll be back I'm sure...but hopefully, next time someone else will be working the counter!
