14 Best Vegan Restaurants near Sylva

“We had two signature items from the menu that we have had many times. Not up to par this time (9-21-22). French onion soup was like warm. Mediterranean appetizer over browned. Italian pasta salad needed more oil and grated cheese. The added tofu was practically burnt and flavorless.“

“It’s rare to find a place that nails every aspect of dining so well, but this restaurant truly does. Chef is outstanding! I left not just satisfied, but already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommended to anyone who values great food, warm service, and an unforgettable experience!“

“We ate dinner there on a Monday, 9/25/23 while on our 50th anniversary vacation. We chose the outdoor seating. My wife got the vegetarian tacos with a side of sweet potato tots. I got the fried shrimp tacos with a chef’s side of maple balsamic glazed Brussels sprouts. The food was fantastic and a big thanks to our server, Eliza C., who was super! We highly recommend Foragers“

“We were looking forward to lamb chops and they were out of them. I ordered crab cakes. They were ok. Overcooked on the outside which made it dry. NY strip was excellent as was the garlic mashed potato and mushrooms. Ordered coffee with my birthday dessert. No offer for a refill. It's one cup and here is your bill. Service was good but server could have asked if we wanted anything else.“

“If you’re in Cherokee and want something quick, flavorful, and satisfying, Kobe Express is a solid choice. It’s not a full sit-down hibachi show with flying shrimp — it’s more of a fast-casual Japanese spot — but the food delivers where it counts.
The hibachi plates are generous and cooked fresh. The steak and chicken are well-seasoned, the vegetables are crisp without being overcooked, and the fried rice has that classic savory flavor you expect. Portions are more than fair for the price, especially for a tourist-heavy area.
Their sushi is surprisingly good for a smaller mountain-town location. The rolls are neatly prepared, fresh, and consistent. If you’re not feeling hibachi, the teriyaki options are a safe and satisfying pick.
Service is efficient and friendly. Orders come out quickly, making it a great stop after a long day exploring the Smokies or visiting the casino. The dining area is clean and comfortable — simple, but welcoming.
Overall:
⭐ Fresh, hot food
⭐ Good portion sizes
⭐ Fair prices for the area
We were hungry and they got it out FAST .Quick and dependable service
Kobe Express is a reliable go-to in Cherokee when you want Japanese flavors without the long wait. It’s the kind of place you can visit more than once during a trip and know exactly what you’re going to get — solid, satisfying meals every time.“

“Good food close to sky tower“

“The food and service were outstanding. Though, we were not in the mood for the rock n roll music coming from the casino and there really is not much ambiance. Nevertheless, we wanted wellies, and we got them, and the food was high quality and delicious. Our waitress was lovely and the hostess energetically wished us a very happy wedding anniversary as we arrived and again as we departed, and we are grateful for that.“
