Trendy Vegan - Review - Upper Kirby - Houston - The Infatuation

Trendy Vegan in Upper Kirby has cornered the market on vegan buffets. The $16 Chinese buffet is on the smaller side, but we’d happily go back for multiple rounds of mapo tofu and cold servings of spicy dan dan noodles. Aside from a huge mural covering one of the walls, Trendy Vegan is pretty understated. But that doesn’t matter when your priority should be to eat as many fried king mushroom bites and red bean-filled sesame balls as possible. Alongside the AYCE option, they also have plant-based dishes available a la carte. - Gianni Greene
