Food was amazing, fresh and original. Excellent and friendly service. Tasty margarita. Highly recommend!

Our family has been to Alice and Friends multiple times and I cannot say enough good things about this establishment. Everything I’ve tried here has been delicious. The atmosphere is fun and the decor is based on Alice in Wonderland. The waitstaff is friendly and professional.

The owner & their staff of this location have been extremely friendly & the owner’s ambitions for this business & restaurant are well warranted & deserve a reward to match. The food they prepare is not only quite healthy, but tastes outstanding in comparison to the many different restaurants & locations I have ever been to. The fact that they did so while remaining vegan & provisioning the healthiest of ingredients in their food makes this a far superior restaurant to eat from. I had friends & family who had poor experiences elsewhere with vegan food, absolutely love the vegan food here at Alice & Friends, so much so, each one vowed interest in returning again in the future, especially myself as I have four times within a month! Every single time myself & those I brought along come to eat here, we can’t help but share portions of our meals with one another, as the food here is astoundingly above par & beyond simply delicious. This is NOT something we did at any other restaurant, ever. There is definitely a truly remarkably noticeable culinary skill that the owner & their employees have honed, both the visual representation & especially the taste of the food definitely truly shows it. Everything on the menu is genuinely crafted extremely well & tastes just as well, as I have practically tried almost all of their options within such a short time frame; it goes to really show just how flavorful the food here really is! I could honestly go on & on, so in conclusion, you simply can not go wrong with eating at this location when it comes to the food. You are kindly encouraged to support their business & give their food a try. If you enjoy it, I too hope you invite family & friends & share your experience as I have. I kid you not, I haven’t had vegan food that tastes as good as Alice & Friends’ anywhere else. Versus non-vegan, nothing could genuinely top Alice & Friends. Would have taken pictures of meals to share, but each & every single time, got too caught up in how delicious everything was to remember to share the visual experience! If I somehow break this cycle, I will be sure to update the review with images.

First time at Alice & Friends. Staff was friendly and food was fantastic. We ordered the bhan mi and runaway potato. Not being a vegan, I didn't know what to expect. Both dishes were delicious. I especially liked the runaway potato. I took home half of it and my son (also not a vegan) loved it too. I didn't take any photos of the inside of the restaurant. But I know we will be going there again so next time I will.

WOW! This place is GOOD! Chicken drumsticks with ranch were so delicious! It's a three piece appetizer. Don't be fooled. They are very big. Crab Rangoon was perfect. My soup (I can't remember the name ) tonkotu??? had a really smooth broth, and the spices were blended to perfection. It's a very large bowl. I have another meal for tomorrow. A wonderful selection of dishes on the menu. I'll be back to try others. It's worth it. The carrot cake is worth busting your belly.

Delicious and creative veggie fare. The menus are very well labeled to include all allergens. The culinary creations are wonderful and fresh. They nailed the Alice in Wonderland vibe with the decorations. A must try if you're in the area!

Coming here was a great experience. I have had this place on my 'places to go' list for a long time, and I'm so glad that I went. The theme of the restaurant is adorable, I loved all of the suspended teacups and saucers that were mounted on the counter. When we came there were a lot of seats already reserved but there were a few that were still open. We were seated rather quickly but in the future I likely will reserve a seat to make sure I don't miss out on great food. As far as what we ordered, we got the walnut shrimp, kung pao, the drumsticks and tom ka soup. We also got a slice of chocolate cake to go. The walnut shrimp was creamy and the side of broccoli was seasoned well. The brown rice was perfectly chewy and the walnuts were candied & crunchy. The kung pao dish was also a delight. There was a sweet and smokey flavor to it that I absolutely loved. While I would usually personally prefer to have kung pao more spicy, I still wouldn't change anything about this dish. The drumsticks were pretty good and it was nice to have the 'eat chicken off of a bone' again experience. The tom ka soup was umami and flavorful and is better than others that I have had at Thai restaurants. Most vegan cakes I've had have a crumby and dry texture, but that wasnt the case with the chocolate cake. The chocolate cake was rich, moist and decadent. The staff was incredibly friendly and our server JoJo was fantastic. She was very attentive and checked in with us a few times. She really added to the enjoyment of our visit. She also was truly sweet. This place, hands down is the best vegan restaurant that I have been to and I have been vegan for 8 years. My non-vegan family members also agree.

I recently dined at one of my favorite vegan restaurants! Each bite of food was a burst of delicious flavors that always exceeds my expectations. The staff are incredibly warm and attentive, making the dining experience truly amazing. Alice & Friends, I am a raving fan!
