16 Best Vegan Restaurants in University City

“First time at Taco Buddha! Great food! Great staff! Staff went up above and beyond to help with my order, today! Thank you for such Great customer service at the Kirkwood location 💕“

“The food was great! It was my first time trying this type of food, it was a chicken schwarma. The prices are higher, wait time was almost 1 hour even while placing the online order. I did follow the online tracking so luckily I didn't have to wait too long in store. I would try here again.“

“Outstanding noodles and Bao Bun. Everything we tried was amazing! Worth the trip!“

“There’s a reason Cate Zone is a frequently celebrated restaurant in the St. Louis subreddit. It’s one of the best places in town and represents beautifully the diversity of the city. So many standout dishes: the crispy fish or shrimp, eggplant, tofu, cumin lamb, bok choy… Protip: go with a group of at least four and arrive at opening to get a table with no wait. Order n + 1 dishes and at least one order of crispy fish. Feast, everyone takes home a box of leftovers, and it’s never more than $30 a person.“

“Tried the soy braised spicy noodles at the VegFest, Oct 6. It was so good, I had to find their page to see where the restaurant location was! Highly recommend trying them!“

“Almost cried when I took a bite because it instantly reminded me of Korea🥲 Honestly, the cheese katsu is better than the one’s I’ve had there. Having 3 different side dishes per well and the effort of making every single item in the bento box so delicious reflects how much care and detail was put into making this. I normally never leave reviews, but this was so amazing. I will be back over and over again until the day I leave STL. Also, we got a little side dish on the house which was super tasty🥹“

“The food and drink are as good as the place is comfortable. (Thinking of the couch upstairs.) The owners and staff are friendly. They also enjoy good humor.“

“Great Food, Great Service!! We recommend adding more beer options“

“they hook you up there with whatever you want“

“Food was amazing, and staff were very knowledgeable about selections and cuts available (shoutout to Jim). The Chongqing spicy broth added a great but not overbearing heat, while the sweeter Sukiyaki style broth paired perfectly with the beef we received. The course came with a plentiful amount of vegetables and other sides, with complementary additional spices and flavorings. Perfect place to grab a warm meal in the winter, at a great spot.“

“Great bbq. Will be back. Great service“

“Seoul Taco is awesome every time I go. Never have had a bad experience here. Cool decor, awesome food options, and cool merch.“

“Great time. I definitely wanna come back“

“Outstanding service and delicious food!“

“first time coming to this place and wow. the food here was amazing even the fried rice which has peas and carrots in it. now for those who are local to St Louis know that peas and carrots don't typically go in Chop Suey fried rice but this place is the exception. besides the fried rice being phenomenal the roasted duck is delicious. but the star of the show was the pickled vegetables that came with the roasted duck. I am a person that absolutely hates cucumbers, but the way they pick up these cucumbers with the carrots was divine. I could have ate these things like grapes they were that delicious and I absolutely loath cucumbers. so all in all I give this place a solid 9.7 out of 10 rating scale.“

“Blueberry Hill is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is vibrant and full of character, making it the perfect spot to hang out with friends or enjoy a night out. The staff are fantastic—friendly, attentive, and always ready to make your experience special. Their food and drinks are top-notch, bursting with flavor and made fresh. What really makes Blueberry Hill stand out is its unique and eclectic decor—you can explore the really cool Duck Room, admire walls filled with everything from sports memorabilia to Spice Girl dolls, and even check out a Pac-Man room! The mix of history, fun, and quirky details creates an experience unlike anywhere else in St. Louis. Plus, the prices are very reasonable for the quality and vibe you get here. If you want a spot that’s both fun and authentic, Blueberry Hill is where you need to be. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
