Most non-vegan restaurants offer an alternative for vegans. Why don't you offer an alternative for non-vegans when we are forced to dine with vegans

i love everything about grasshopper, except that it is so far away.

LOVE Grasshopper!

you are my favorite restaurant ever!

There are very few dessert options. I think you should include more desserts.

i love you! coming for my bday soon. yummy

Hi, I was wondering if you use vegan sugar for your recipes, etc.
I know that you are all vegan, but I also know that you serve soft drinks which does not have vegan sugar in it.
I was just wondering what the extent of your vegan menu is?
Thanks so much.

Awesome job opening a vegan restaurant! I live in Pittsburgh. Is there only this one "Grasshopper" in Boston, or are you guys thinking about opening more and having a chain? Thanks for just being a vegan restaurant! It's so hard ordering at a regular restaurant where you have to ask all kinds of questions about the food and stuff.
Good luck! I hope Grasshopper is very successful!

My friends and I make the trip from Providence at least once each month to have dinner here. I can not express enough thanks to Grasshopper for providing such a fantastic place for vegans to dine out. It is so nice to have a restaurant where you know you can try anything on the menu, and also be confident that whatever you have will be absolutely delicious!

My favorite restaurant... the sweet and sour sensation is delicious, as is the vegetarian lobster. Of course, the no name tops everyone's list... and mine as well!

I visit The Grasshopper very, very frequently and am never, ever disappointed. I hope you stay around forever!

I am neither vegan nor vegetarian. But I have to say, you've spoiled me! I can't enjoy other Chinese restaurants because the taste is just bland and dead in comparison. I've never had food this fresh, and this coming from someone who travels a lot and has eaten at fine restaurants on both coasts. This is the best Chinese food I have EVER eaten. I could easily make the transition if more places like Grasshopper were around. Please get a location in the west coast!

hits the G-spot

killer taste without actually killing

My non-vegetarian friend highly recommended your restaurant to me, a veggie myself. Now THAT is impressive! You almost never hear of a non-veggie rave about a vegetarian -- let alone VEGAN -- restaurant!

The only suggestion I would like to add is for Grasshoppers to offer delivery options, even for a few hrs only, if possible. This would allow more people to try the food, which is heavenly! Thank you Grasshoppers!

My husband and I love your restaurant. We even had you cater our (small) wedding a year ago, and the food was, as always, excellent. We just discovered we could have your food delivered to out house in Kendall Sq, so, today after failing to get the 64 bus that's got a very mysterious schedule (and we could actually GET to your place) we ordered for delivery. My husband almost always gets your NoName, and I like all kinds of things you have. Tonight I got your Kale and Gluten Supreme. I'll have it tomorrow for lunch as well! Thank you for all you do - we love having a place we can bring friends to where we know they'll enjoy your food.

Hi,
I really love your restaurant, but I think you should consider stop using single use bamboo chop sticks.
Maybe, your restaurant could switch to using reusable plastic chop sticks.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chopsticks#Environmental_impact
"In China alone, an estimated 45 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks are used and thrown away annually. This adds up to 1.7 million cubic metres of timber or 25 million fully grown trees every year. To encourage that people use and throw away less, as of April 2006 a 5% tax is added to the price of chopsticks in China. This measure is part of the first tax package in 12 years."
Best
Gerald

smells funny, tastes good. I need to block my nose to get it down.

First time in this week and I loved it.

Thanks!

p.s. Bamboo can grow over 1 foot a day so they don't impact the environment like Gerald insinuated.

no name!!!!


i brought my carnivorous family here for lunch and they loved it! my dad loved the hot and sour soup and his fake squid dish. my mom is scared of tofu, but got some veggies and appetizers and loved it.

i have to agree with some of the other comments that the only thing that would make this place better is a little background music. still my favorite restaurant in the city!

I never thought I'd find a vegan restaurant so close to home! I love it - even my extremely carnivorous family was impressed!

This was the first restaurant I went to when I came to Boston and it is always great. I often get cravings for the hot and sour soup. Portions are huge - fun to share with a friend or two. Wait - there's a montly buffet?
My only issue is that dishes come out very quickly and you often get your main course before you've finished the soup or appetizer.
I love this place though!
--Hannah

I have plenty of new friends now that are vegans. And i had never eaten tofu before I came here and I only went because my friend was raving about it. i had the sweet and sour special, and it was one of the best things I've ever eaten! I wish I lived closer so I could go all the time!
Also, their menu is somewhat cheap and they give you enough food to split with another person- you would want to too, because it is filling!

The food there is very good. I went about 3 years ago and recently went again. The food is still good. But the service was only okay. The waitress I had then is still there today and took our order. She never writes anything down which is fine except she left out one of our orders. Turn out good cause we ordered too much food anyways. But when we went around the table to order a dish, she'd interrupts and says yes that's number something and immediately go to another person. That's really rude but also my friends weren't finished and wanted to order more or had a question about the dish. The waitress would interrupt my friends when they had questions about the dish with what she thought was the question when it wasn't. It felt so rushed and is just rude and it it very confusing. Maybe that's fine when it's just 2-3 people but we were a group of 6. After she took our order, she never came back again to check if we needed anything. We had to flag one of the helpers to get forks and drinks. And of course she showed up when it was time for the check. Excluding the waitress that's been there for forever and is very cocky - the other staff were very nice.

Looking forward to another GREAT visit. Makes being vegan just that much sweeter!

there is no better place for two vegans living in the boston area to find a wonderful meal. great for any occasion.

it's like a dream come true! best chinese food - vegan or otherwise- that I have ever tasted.

I thoroughly enjoyed your restaurant.

I would enjoy it even more if you can add nuts to some
of your entrees as I value nuts as a good
source of protein.

Examles include cashews, pine nuts, etc

We will be attending an event at the Hard Rock Cafe in Quincy Market this February and there is nothing on their menu that remotely interests me. My boyfriend (not vegan but respects my choices) and I will finally get to enjoy your restaurant! A totally vegan menu, can't wait!

Thank you for a wonderful Mother's Day meal! You were a great way to end our trip to the Boston area from Columbus, OH! The portions were as large as we had when visiting Viet Nam in 2007, and authentic too. The Spinach Garlic, Curried "Squid", "Chicken Fingers" and Nori Rolls made a great snack when we finally made our hotel in Scranton, PA. Your restaurant is a must for anyone looking for a healthy, and wonderful meal when visiting the Boston area on business or vacation!

My boyfriend and I went to your restaurant yeserday, and the food was absolutely amazing! It's nice to be able to go somewhere and know that you can have whatever you want on the menu, and not worry whats in it. First we started out with the chicken fingers, which tasted so much better then real ones...then for dinner we both got the sweet and sour sensation which came with brown rice and a little bit of salad with really sweet salad dressing. Then for dessert, we had the blueberry cheesecake. That was the best part! I couldn't believe how good it was! All of the portions were really big, and the prices were not bad at all. Service was also very good. I liked how the man waiting on us spoke English. Overall, I would rate this restaurant an 11 out of 10. It was phenomenal and we will be back! We plan to take our family back with us as well vegans and non vegans!

Grasshopper is my favorite restaurant ever! Since moving out of the state I miss it often and eat there most days when I'm visiting.

Do you guys do any catering? That would be amazing!

I dine there monthly with the Boston Vegetarian Society (BVS = www.BostonVeg.org) and have a blast. It's a great place to meet folks, veggie or no, and when family and friends visit from out of town, the Grasshopper is a comfy non-threatening place with a great staff whose attention level is JUST RIGHT! Love those folks!

The price is great, the servings are ample, and I love those vegetable-rich vegan buffets on the 3rd Sunday of every month. Most veggie and Asian places overload us with starchy noodles and fried food, but Grasshopper's health-supporting vegetable cuisine that's as savory as can be is "just what the doctor ordered" AND what we vegans want!
