Grasshopper is a beloved vegan spot in Allston’s food court, serving up generous portions of tasty Asian dishes like the must-try No Name and spicy eggplant surprises.
"After closing for a bit, this beloved vegan and vegetarian restaurant is open in its new location within the 88 Market Food Court. The menu is thankfully unchanged, with all the fan-favorites, including bowls of tofu in spicy coconut curry, a wealth of noodle dishes, and warming soups. The meals feature seitan, tofu, and tons of vegetables, and the Grasshopper Supreme — chili basil sauce slathered on steamed eggplant — is a must-try." - Nathan Tavares, Celina Colby, Megan Hennessey, Eater Staff
"After nearly 30 years, cult-favorite vegan restaurant Grasshopper is shutting down on May 29 due to lease termination issues. Owner Hoai Nguyen hopes to re-open in another location, ideally in either Allston or Brighton." - Erika Adams
"There’s something called an “Eggplant and Tofu Surprise” at Grasshopper, an all-vegan spot in Allston. We usually think surprises are as ridiculous as Tesla’s current stock prices, but it turns out this dish - made with a spicy black bean sauce - is pretty good. Perhaps the only disappointment is that there are no chapulines on the menu - yes, we know, they’re not vegan. Place your order here. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
