Merit Vegan Restaurant

You don't need to be vegan to enjoy Merit. The food is delicious and the menu variety is large. Being new to veganism, I was pleased that everything on the menu is vegan. We had the dish called "Queens" which had a soy protein "meat" on fresh spinach and caramelized onions in a savory sauce. It was very tasty. The texture is similar enough to meat for my tastes. I don't know how a meat lover would feel. The lotus salad was lovely, tangy and crunchy. The curry with pumpkin was good. There was a bit too much sauce for me. I liked the flavor but will probably pick something different next time. The pumpkin cheesecake was delicious and lighter than the dense New York cheesecake made with cream cheese. I consider this lighter version a plus, much nicer. I'm excited to go back and try more items on the menu. The wait staff were friendly. The atmosphere is casual. Vegetarian options: All vegan! You can't go wrong.

Merit was a great place as a full vegan restaurant. If you have any friends with those dietary restrictions, do not hesitate to take them here. Heck, even if they don't have the dietary restrictions, take them here anyways. It's great food at great prices. The establishment itself is not as maintained but the place definitely has its charm. The portions are filling, though you must buy the rice separately, they do give you a well above average portion.

Been here many times, always great.

Good food, but the ambience is not quite so the best around. If you plan to pack the food its a great place to try once.

No matter whether we are dining in or taking it to go, the staff are always very helpful and very friendly! The food is exciting and delicious. I have been trying something different every time I come in. There are our favorites and the desserts are out of this world! It's 100% vegan fair. I will be back hungry for more and so will my family!

Some dishes were really nice but few were disappointing too! Liked their wonton soup, Thai fried rice and Thai ice tea, iced coffee Appetizer- jalapeño pop was oily Entree- wonton soup- 5/5 Vegetable chow fun- 3/5 Thai fried rice- 5/5 Dessert- oreo cheesecake- 2/5 Cheesecake didn’t felt fresh and flavorful Service is good! Vegetarian options: Many vegan dishes!

Whoa - so good! How did I not know abt this place and I work nearby too!! Great staff and food was excellent- I grabbed a fellow omnivore friend of mine and we loved the lotus salad, fresh spring rolls and Saigon noodles. Can’t enough good things abt our lunch!

Editing my previous review: This has been my favorite restaurant but to my surprise and shock, we found a worm on our spring roll yesterday. I had already eaten a few pieces and we sent it back. I came back home and had a bad stomach ache later. Unfortunately, I won’t be going back any time soon. Old review: Hands down one of best vegan food places. They’re kind and service is great. Thank you for fresh, hot food on a cold night.
