The vegan sandwiches and fries are the stars here. The seitan “bites” are fried so hard I was worried I would crack a tooth!! Definitely the least-edible seitan wings in the city. The mushroom cutlet sandwich was great, I will come back for that. Everything was extremely over-salted (and I love salty), so it’s either a case of a heavy hand that day or the salting bowls hadn’t been changed that night.
I picked this place because I was being accompanied by a non vegan, and I was looking for interesting and creative menu items that would appeal to both of us. This place nailed it.
For the month of July, they have a bunch of different hot dog specials every day. They had about 5 or 6 different varieties and all but one was also available in a vegan version. I chose the Seoul dog with kimchi, gochujang mayo, scallions and seaweed sprinkle. It was amazing.
I also had a vegan gyro...
Been here a couple of times since they reopened. I appreciate that they are trying with the vegan options and that they offer quite a few. Overall I would say it’s just OK, not incredible, the food is not as great as the old Royal, but it’s aight. I miss the old Royal. RIP (especially to the greatest juke box of old time, but also most especially to the tempeh club). but alas, everything changes.
