Vegetarian Chinese comfort food. That’s how I would describe
Vegetarian’s Paradise 2, where I went with my roommate and his boyfriend to use
a Groupon that I had bought. I had read a lot about their “chicken” fingers and
so we all split an order of them. I hadn’t had fried food like that in a while,
so they were delicious, but eventually gave me a horrible stomach ache. The texture was a little strange, but that’s
understandable since they weren’t actually chicken.
For dinner, I ordered two entrees and brought half of each
home with me. I had the stuffed zucchini and one of the chicken dishes that
came with a bunch of different vegetables and brown rice.
("Heavenly Chicken with Mixed Vegetables" wasn't that heavenly)
Overall, nothing here
really impressed me. It didn’t taste healthy or fresh and the sauces were all
super fake tasting. I did like my roommates orange chicken, but again, it was
doused in sugary sauce. I'm really surprised by it's high ratings on Yelp.
If you couldn’t tell, I wasn’t a huge fan, and I doubt I
would ever take another trip here. It’s a strange little restaurant too- pretty
dingy and cheap looking inside. Sorry Vegetarian’s Paradise 2, you didn’t do it
for me.
