Vegan Restaurant Review! -Truly Vegan Restaurant-

Last night I visited Truly Vegan Restaurant on Hollywood Blvd. in Hollywood. It's a small, quaint vegan restaurant with mostly a la carte items. Located on the far end of the strip, it doesn't have as many distractions and loud folks hanging around outside on a regular basis. The area itself is not very upscale, and it's a small and quiet restaurant with ok service.

I got numbers 37 and 41, which was miso soup and coleslaw. The miso soup was decent; I've had it there before and it was better. The tofu in the soup is awesome though! It's not as slimy as many tofus I've had in other misos. The coleslaw is the real story though. It's great. It's well spiced and has Vegenaise on it, and it's nothing like the sweet, slimy coleslaw I had growing up.

James, my companion to the restaurant last night, got number 64, the seitan wrap. It was really good, but it needed some salsa (which we used). Again, very well-spiced and the seitan was not rubbery or too "wheaty." The wrap is pretty large, probably amounting to about a foot long and is wrapped in chapatti bread.

The prices range from $2.00 to $10.00, with most items being around $7.00. The disadvantage is that everything is a la carte, so when you pay $7.00 for a "cheese" sandwich, you literally get two buns, bean sprouts, and faux cheese. The best deals are probably the wraps, which they have for breakfast and dinner. (Breakfast served all day).

We came back later that night and got a strawberry soymilk shake, which was less than satisfactory. It was rather watery and had a lot of ice-chunks in it. I'd suggest getting a fruit smoothie instead.

Overall, I enjoy going to this restaurant every time I do.
So, I recommend this place if you're out on the Blvd. and want some quick vegan eats without having to wonder if it's casein-free or not, etc. However, don't expect large portions or really feeling like you're "getting what you're paying for" if you are used to getting sides with your order.
