Alice and Friends' Vegan Kitchen

Super GemEdgewater · Vegan (Pan-Asian) Community-sourced, unverified

📍 5812 N Broadway, Chicago, IL 60660

Alice and Friends' Vegan Kitchen has been quietly proving plant-based cooking can stand on its own in Edgewater since 2001, long enough to become a real neighborhood institution rather than a trend restaurant.

A chana poke bowl using marinated tomatoes in place of fish — Chicago Reader's runner-up Best Vegan Restaurant 2025

The pan-Asian menu builds on vegetables, tofu, and textured vegan protein with real inventiveness — a chana poke bowl swaps in marinated tomatoes for the usual cubed fish, and a spicy, ginger-scented BBQ shows the kitchen isn't afraid of bold flavor just because the protein is plant-based. Dessert gets equal attention, with a green tea soy ice cream and a raw key lime cheesecake worth saving room for.

It placed runner-up for Best Vegan Restaurant in the Chicago Reader's 2025 Best of Chicago poll — a strong showing for a restaurant that's been doing this work for well over two decades.
