What People Are Saying About Ever Green House

Featured Review

The Scene – Located in a nondescript strip mall on busy State Street, it looks less like a Chinese restaurant and more like a diner with plastic grapevine swags and vinyl booths. – – The Food – Ever Green House specializes in creating faux meats from soy products with some convincing results. It's a good starting place for new vegetarians who occasionally crave the texture and flavors of meat. Spring rolls--fried to a deep golden brown--are a tasty appetizer. Avoid the special golden nuggets (they taste like cardboard) and go for the curry potato and…

Ever Green House

by delano indigo at Citysearch

This is absolutely the best vegan cuisine I've ever had...and I've dined in vegan restaurants nationwide.

The portions are large and the prices are reasonable.

I honestly can't understand the remarks by Kpag of September 2009...it could be that individual palettes are affected by the awakening they get when truly wholesome and well-prepared food is presented.

I'd eat at Evergreen Cafe 3 times a day if I could.

TRY IT...YOU'LL LOVE IT!

  • Pros: Simple and adorned
  • Cons: Not open for breakfast

Disgustingly Sweet Nightmare

by kpag at Citysearch

I cannot believe all the good reviews for this place. Everything here is disgustingly sweet. It's as if sugar exploded in the kitchen, and they're having customers eat the disaster. We ordered the hot and sour soup -- which was NOT hot and was more like sweet syrup than soup. I loaded it with pepper and hot sauce on the table to try and make it edible, but it was irrecoverably disgusting. Then we shared the Black Pepper Soybean and a second dish (I think it was the broccoli with soybean). Again, absolutely awful. I have never had such a bad meal in my life. Maybe the sugar is a SLC thing, but I can't imagine that anyone could like this stuff.

In sum, the worst Chinese food I've ever had and my worst vegan meal (yes, it was even worse than the time I was served dry pasta at a banquet event). But if you think that a pound of sugar is what's been missing from Chinese food for all these years, then by all means, give it a whirl.

  • Pros: None
  • Cons: The Worst Vegan Food EVER

I love meat and I love this restaurant!

by LM555 at Citysearch

I am not a vegetarian, my husband is. We go to this restaurant often and I love it. The sweet and sour is so delicious. The soy has a great taste and texture. The employees there are so friendly and helpful. It is a great stop for lunch or dinner. Since it is downtown, we go for dinner and then head to the Bayou.

  • Pros: Service
  • Cons: Parking
