I am not a vegan, far from it. No interest in the vegan lifestyle but I have two friends, one is vegan and the other vegetarian. They wanted to go to eat at Grasshopper and when they told me it was a vegan restaurant my heart sank. I thought the food would be tasteless, oiled up, strange textures and I would leave the restaurant with the worst gastro pain from all those scratchy veggies. I like vegetables, just not in such large quantities. Since they were such good sports and came to all of my eateries I figured I had to grin happily and play along without complaint. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. Grasshopper is an Asian inspired restaurant and the food was extremely good. I would actually elect to go there without being prodded with sticks. I was there on a Sunday in the middle of a scorcher heat wave and the atmosphere inside was very comfortable. It was buffet style. I'm not sure if it is always buffet, could have just been a Sunday thing but in any event it was a great way to try out the things they have to offer. I can't tell you what anything was but everything was quite tasty and satisfying and the prices very reasonable. Definitely give Grasshopper a whirl even if you're not a vegan.
Pros: Great tasting variety of vegan food that's not hard on the wallet
Cons: There's barely any parking in the area. Worth the risk though.
