Chay Concept is a solid option if you’re looking for something a bit different from typical vegan food. The flavors and textures stand out right away, and a lot of the dishes feel more creative than what you usually find. Everything is also presented really nicely, which adds to the experience. The atmosphere is slightly formal but still comfortable, and our server was very helpful and friendly. One thing to note is that it’s technically a vegetarian restaurant, but their menu is mostly vegan, and most non-vegan dishes can be modified. The La Lot Platter is especially worth trying. It’s unique, flavorful, and easily the highlight of the menu! The location is a little awkward since it’s tucked behind the building, but parking at Soma Towers is free with validation. Overall, it’s a great choice when you want something a bit more special than the usual vegan spots. Easily one of my favorites!
