The 20 Best Third Ward Houston Restaurants

"An unassuming joint across the street from Emancipation Park, Soul Food Vegan is a neighborhood spot making vegan southern comfort food with a dash of Creole flavor. The menu has Cajun pasta, burgers, jambalaya, and fresh-pressed moringa juice, but the star of the show is anything that involves oyster mushrooms. You should try their po’boy with deep-fried oyster mushrooms that crackle when you bite into them, coated in spicy mayo and topped with crisp red onions. You don’t go to Soul Food Vegan for the ambiance, but rather for a quick bite of vegan comfort food to finish off the day." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
