  I came up from Alexandria and was so excited to try this place out with the great reviews. It was a huge let down. The chicken breading had a good texture but entirely lacked seasoning. The inside of the chicken also had good texture and held up well with the wooden dowel "bone" but again, lacked seasoning. The greens were just salted, no smoked Paprika, garlic or onion to be tasted at all. The Mac n cheese was like macaroni noodles and some sort of either cashew ricotta or a soft tofu, so it didnt give you that mac n cheese vibe. The flavor was almost there but again lacked any pop. The cinnamon roll was dense as if they didn't allow the dow to rise or they didn't use enough yeast. Additionally, it was dry and almost hard, I found it difficult to cut with a knife. I won't be going here again or recommending it, it just doesn't hit the mark. Hip City Veg is the place to go in the D.C. area for vegan food.

  First time visiting NuVegan while here in DC. Easy to find, street parking available. Good music, plenty of seating, all food looked very fresh and good. The 2 guys working were very polite greeted me as soon as I walked in. I went with the country fried steak and mac n cheese. Both were delicious, just wish the steak had gravy, I didn't ask maybe they have some. I will definitely visit again to try alot more of the menu as I travel to DC pretty often.

  The food here was really good. I usually DON'T eat vegan food, but tried it because my sister does eat vegan. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised.....the food was really, really good!! I even bought desserts such as peach cobbler & a cinnamon roll which is HUGE!! I would definitely go back here when I'm in the DC area.....they made me a believer in vegan food.

  We were visiting DC and are vegan. The food was pretty good. I wouldn’t say it would have a very high health score the meat substitute TVP. The ribs are TVP with barbecue sauce and the cheesesteak was seasoned TVP. They were out of sweet potatoes and rolls for the cheesesteak so they put it in a wrap and if this happens to you I would suggest not getting the wrap. The Mac & Cheese was really good. We also got broccoli that was , careot salad and collard greens. The carrot salad was vinegar based and the texture was strange. The collards didn’t have much flavor.
