They do excellent vegan dishes. You won't go hungry! They've been catering for a few years and have been regulars at the Quarry Farmer's Market (and while it lasted, the Blue Star market). They're still getting their hours sorted (back and forth between offering lunch or not, so check first). They got pretty slammed the first weekend of opening so cut back a bit on hours, but now I think they're back to regular action.

This was awesome news before I read Steve and Jody Newman were partners. They are very friendly people, but the Friendly Spot and Tuk Turk are incredibly overpriced IMO. Here comes more overpriced food and beer to Southtown.

No, wasn't me, but they have many fans. Unfortunately the owners lost their 1924 house and every thing in it this week due to a devastating fire. They're keeping the restaurant running while they try to sort out their home situation.

And while I'm not a big fan of China Garden's food, I appreciate their neighborhood spirit and I'm going to eat there on Feb 18:

China Garden
A fellow Southtown business (Senor Veggie) is going through rough times as their house caught fire. In order to help them out China Garden will be donating 30% of each sale when you mention the name "Senor Veggie" this coming Tuesday February 18, 2014.

Good for ALL China Garden locations. Dine In and Take Out ONLY. Excludes delivery.

Señor Veggie

True, but people are buying it.

China Garden's new Sports Bar venture will have BBQ, so you can always go that route. I don't do BBQ at all, but I am happy to see a business go into a long vacant spot.

And in defense of the Newmans, they donate a ridiculous amount of profits to various organizations, particularly local schools. They've done amazing things for this neighborhood.
