Love it!

I have eaten here a dozen or so times and usually make it a point to stop by whenever I am in Boston. The No Name is my favorite dish!

Pros: great selection, good prices

Don't understand the hype

We went here based on the reviews I found on Happy Cow and yikes -- what a disappointment! I ordered the no name, which was good, but I wasn't prepared for the greasy food that came out. My dining partner got a tofu dish that was not good at all and yes, the no name is good, but I can't imagine craving that dish and having to return on a regular basis. The restaurant is gloomy, dirty, and the service was unimpressive.

Pros: BVS holds functions here, Location

Cons: Dirty and dark, Food not so good, Service

THE boston vegan restaurant

this place is the most popular veg place in boston. the menu is extensive, the service is off the wall fast, and the one woman who is almost always the waiter should win an award for the worlds best memory... i have seen her take appetizer, dinner and drink orders from 8 people without a blink of the eye or writing anything down. she sometimes forgets a little thing, but its very impressive. some of the dishes are quite normal but the key about grasshopper is totally getting one of the 'specials' a lot of people swear by the 'no-name' but i prefer the 'sweet and sour sensation' if you want to try both... just get the 'happy family'! be warned though... these portions for the specials are insane... you would have to be a very big appetite person who is very hungry to finish these (which is me) but i usually split it with a friend (almost everyone splits the specials with a friend, dont feel wierd for odering one meal for two people here!) but if you do split a meal definatly dabble in some appetizers, i recoment the seaweed salad (one of the best i have had) or the beloved CHICKEN FINGERS (a good deal for the portion and price as an appetizer). you can also get the chicken fingers as a meal (the 'sweet and sour tofu chicken fingers' #77) and that rules too. there is also cheesecake for dessert!
oh and for the benefit of visitors to boston, this should definatly be listed as boston, its only like 100 feet from the line of boston proper and not many visitors would know that allston is part of boston.

No Name rules

I absolutely love this restaurant. The staff is friendly and the menu is expensive. My favorite dishes are No Name, Grasshopper Supreme, Yellow Bean Cakes.

When I was leaving for LA they gave me a complementary smoothie and slice of pie. You cannot be service like that!

I've taken at least 10 omni's there and they always sang its praises! Best vegan spot in the North East!

Pros: friendly staff, large menu, big portions

Cons: limited st parking
