Vegan Restaurants near Rensselaer

“TALK ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE!! I didn’t realize they closed at 9, and I walked in with my two girls at 9:02pm. It was a rough night with some tears so we were hoping some froyo would be just the fix we needed. The two women working were mopping the floors and closing up for the night but INSISTED that we get our froyo fix despite the fact that they were actually closed. They couldn’t have been nicer and I felt SO BAD but they promised we weren’t inconveniencing them at all. I was beyond impressed with the customer service and work ethic. We will 100% be back to this location for the simple fact that they were so incredibly kind to us. THANK YOU! You made our night!“

“Best Chinese Restaurant in the Capital Region!!!!!!!!!!!“

“I can't really eat here because of my gluten and dairy allergy, but before I had celiacs, I loved their food. They still have allergy friendly options just not as much.The customer service is great. Very helpful and patient. It is a bit pricey but what isn't nowadays. It's clean and I love the outdoor sitting area, especially autumn time. I used to dine in or order if I was in a rush. I also have to say they are very kind to the delivery drivers. I do door dash and have to pick up a lot from there. Very organized.“

“First time here and won’t be the last!!! Food was DELICIOUS and service was super quick and our server Gabriel R. was the best and so friendly! We came on a Monday + free churros! 10/10!!“

“Chez Mike doesn't disappoint. Often when my husband picks me up at the train station we have dinner there. The cocktails, food and service were as good or better than my meals in NYC and a great value for fine dining in the Capital District. Our server, Cameron, was friendly and attentive even when the place really filled up. Two delicious cocktails, a glass of wine, two appetizers, an entree and dessert were under $120. I actually like the strip mall vibe on the outside hiding the awesomeness inside. Chez Mike is a real find.“

“My husband is a breakfast connoisseur and said this is the best breakfast he has had ANYWHERE! The Rocky Mountain Benedict’s was delicious and the Cherry Amaretto pancakes were to die for!!

I can't wait to go back!Parking: Street parking was available and they have a lot behind the building.“

“I really loved this place, it was so tasty! Had to get an additional chicken skewers for my chicken combination the second time I ordered since the white meat chicken was so so tender. The inside of the restaurant is gorgeous but they were only doing takeout when I visited.“

“Really great, authentic Chinese food. Most was just good but there were two standouts for me. One was the spicy wonton and the other was pork belly buns. They were really exceptional. I could make a meal out of 2 orders of spicy wontons! Need to go back to see what else is good.“

“Came here with a few colleagues some days ago looking for a nice wine spot. This place is very nice, cozy and intimate. The wine and beers are great. Staff very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. The owner came out at some point to check on us and he was great :) On top of the drinks we also had the cheese plate and some spaghetti, both of which were absolutely wonderful. We are not from Albany but if I ever find myself here again I'll definitely be back! Thanks for a great service :)“

“Very quaint Bar & Grill. Bartender was grandson of original owner. He was very friendly & helpful with some meal suggestions. Food was delicious & big portions! Thank you for the awesome hospitality!“

“Everything in here is good for you and tastes amazing. That combination isn’t just rare; it’s INSANELY rare, especially in Upstate NY. Bonus points for an elegant but understated/relaxed ambiance that compliments the menu perfectly. Also, the assiduous attention to health conscientious sourcing of her food and ingredients deserves mentioning again - and I do NOT throw around that praise lightly. You really can’t go wrong here, even if it’s just for a cup of coffee (which is also top notch).“

“All of the food I’ve had here has been delicious and all of my coworkers would agree. It’s our new go to. Pizza is the exact same as before and have been told the wings are also. Falafel and rice is DELICIOUS! The rice can be eaten on it’s own. The owners are so nice too.“
