**Updated Review**
They now offer dine-in, to-go, and have expanded their hours, which is amazing! Their location moved to Fairview and is inside of Revolving Kitchen. We recently dined in a few times. It's inside of a food hall with multiple restaurants to order from. You have to order using the kiosk screen or the QR code. We dined in and tried the chopped BBQ rib loaded baked potato and the chopped rasta jerk meatloaf sandwich. Both were delicious, but my favorite was the BBQ rib loaded baked potato. The sandwich was very spicy (which is indicated on the menu). On another visit we went on Sunday for Soul Food Sundays. My friends and I tried the vegan fried chicken, greens, and vegan chicken n waffles. The vegan fried chicken was very crunchy. The crunch was on point! But I was expecting more for the inside of the vegan chicken and to taste something inside. It was mostly just crunchiness. The greens and waffles were delicious! We were a bit disappointed that most of the menu could only be ordered a la cart (except the chicken n waffles). I'm sure this is just the startup pains of a restaurant. Hopefully being able to order full meals without ordering each food item individually will improve over time.
Old review:
Vegan Heat definitely brings the heat! I ordered pick up here in October 2023, and it was delicious. I ordered the Jamaican curry chicken and rice and Jamaican rasta jerk meatloaf. The flavors were so good! My favorite out of the two was the curry chicken and rice.
I highly recommend this restaurant. Make sure you put your order in early on Doordash because they sell out quickly! Their business hours are currently limited. I hope they are able to expand their business hours and days in the future.

First of all I am not a vegan but a foodie all the way, but I wanted to try the oxtail egg rolls. I am not even home yet and had to right this review. The food is a 10 out of 10. The servings are plentiful!!! The owner was so kind and efficient with my order. I am already excited to place my next pre-order. If you want good food check this place out!!!! You will not be sorry!

I decided to try a vegan meal since I've followed their IG page for a while. I ordered the fried chicken (vegans, y'all know it's a mushroom *wink*) that comes with mac n cheese online. When I arrived for pick up, she informed me I was the last online order for the chicken, so the pieces would be smaller. For the inconvenience, she added a crab cake and more mac n cheese. I'm not vegan, so my first bites definitely tasted different, lol. But I must say it's pretty good! The batter is seasoned well. It's 8 mi from me but I'll be back. Oh, Vegan Heat is a black woman owned biz, and a ghost kitchen in Plano, TX. Order online and pick up only. Whether you're vegan or wanna try something different like me... give her a try!

OMG it has been the 2nd time I have eaten here. Yesterday, I came after church and I had the pork chop with rice, greens and the sweet potato bread. Baby!! It BLESSED me. The portion size was good! I even shared some with my teenage son. Love this place!!! Thank you for blessing us with vegan food in Plano.

Easily the most impressed I've ever been by vegan cooking, no contest ? People make it out like soul food is impossible to make vegan. But Renee is proving them wrong every day‼️ She is a genius. I went to Vegan Heat for the first time today, and I read all the reviews on here before ordering. I saw a couple people saying the portions are small, so I was mentally prepared for that... I have nooooo idea what they were on about ? maybe they're bodybuilders or sum, cuz me & my other half ate til we were stuffed, and there were hella leftovers. I packed em away for lunch at work tomorrow, and I have a feeling I still won't finish them ? Now of course, I'm always eager to give my business to any vegan kitchen I haven't been to before. ? This place though, this place doesn't need eager vegans like me to keep it alive. Vegan Heat can keep anyone coming back time and time again for more AMAZING authentic soul food ???

Had to wait an extra 10 mins for pickup order. I thought they gave me the wrong order because the bag was so small. The macaroni was too salty, and was practically in the same size container as the dipping sauce. Two pieces of catfish, a slice of bread and a dime size of macaroni for $20?!?!?!? Definitely overpriced.

Stop by today, had a little trouble placing my order to no fault against this establishment. The owner made sure I was taken care and provided superb customer service. I ordered 2 fish baskets which came with yams and Hawaiian bread. Everything was soooo delicious! Vegan Fish fried and seasoned perfectly! Will come again and thanks so much for the wonderful service I received today!

I traveled to Plano, Texas from HumbleTX (a suburb of Houston) for the purpose of trying the food at Vegan Heat. Renee was very warm and welcoming throughout the entire experience. I ordered the bbq ribs and fish plate, which included potato salad. The food was well seasoned, but it wasn’t hot when I got it, which was a little disappointing. The fish was a bit too salty for my taste. The bbq ribs and potato salad were pretty good. The price was too exorbitant for the portions provided. If you like well seasoned vegan food and you don’t mind paying a pretty penny for it, then you will be pleased with your experience.
Great flavors for those #vegans. Love this place. It was pouring rain outside and service was provided curbside as if the sun was shining. The Atlanta style, enoki mushroom, fried Fish. #chefskiss, but I loved every plate I purchased.

The food was extremely salty I think you should do a low sodium version option or at least put a nutritional label were people know how much sodium is in their meal...I ordered the fish and the spaghetti with meat cheese topped with the crab cake.

Came here 6/8/24 on vacation based off of seeing multiple great reviews online from people in the Dallas area recommending Vegan Heat. And I am so glad I was able to stop by because this is some of the BEST vegan food I have had EVER! I got both meals of the day, which was the fish basket and the bbq short rib meal which both came with a side of sweet potatoes and bread. The fish basket also came with two sauces that complemented the meal so well. First bite of each meal had me like OMG! When I tell you everything was seasoned, flavored, and cooked so well! Food was so good, I didn't even stop to take pics. I honestly do not see how she is not selling out every single day, that is how good the food was! I honestly have been thinking about how I can get back down there to Plano, Texas (from Oklahoma) to grab some more of her great food. She has so much of a variety and I can't wait to try more. Service was also amazing. The food was out quick for a small business. Ordering online was a breeze, and my food was ready in what felt like less than 10 minutes. If you are in the Dallas area, vegan or not, you need to get to Vegan Heat and get some great food!

Good quality food!! I had the vegan honey jerk lamb chop, it was a 10/10 on flavor and texture. Owner is nice, caring and very dedicated to customer satisfaction. I initially had an issue with my order she went above and beyond to resolve the issue, I am very pleased with the service I received. I am praying abundance and continued overflow over her business.
