"Soul Veg City’s hot bar is legendary. A wondrous treasure hunt, depending on what the cooks put out for the day. You’ll find soul classics, Chinese-inspired fare, and more. Of course, it’s all dairy- and meat-free. You’re not going to find this selection at the local grocery store." - Eater Staff
"Soul food isn’t simply about fall-off-the-bone meat and smothered pork chops. Head to the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood and you’ll find a 40-year-plus vegan soul food staple that is good enough for any carnivore. Think options like: Eggless rolls, seitan sloppy joe’s, and black-eyed pea burgers. Try the hot food bar or order some classics like the protein tibits (seasoned and fried cornmeal-battered tofu). Order for pickup or delivery online through Grubhub and Doordash." - Ashok Selvam
"Soul Veg City (formerly Soul Vegetarian East) has inspired the launch of many other Black-owned, Southern food-influenced vegan restaurants around the country and with a beautiful recent remodel, it remains as relevant as ever. People have been flocking here since 1981, enjoying filling, flavorful meals like the sub-style shrimp boat with fixings." - Marla Rose
"A vegetarian restaurant that features Swap Food's plant-based meat alternatives." - Marla Rose
"Along 75th Street, Soul Vegetarian has been an oasis for meat- and dairy-free meals for decades. The restaurant’s recent transformation to more of a cafeteria-style spot showcases a diverse menu with many affordable options. The hot bar is underrated and is a great place for folks with different dietary concerns who still crave hearty fare." - Ashok Selvam
