🥬 A Meat-Eater’s Adventure at an Eastside Vegan Spot

Plan A was Tendon, but it was packed — so we pivoted to this plant-based plan B: Chay Concept, a relatively new vegan restaurant in Bellevue. Let’s be real: it wasn’t bad… but it wasn’t amazing either. 🍛 The Curry That Tricked Me Looked just like the soup curry I had in Osaka — got my hopes up! But turns out it was Thai-style curry in disguise 🥥🌶️. The saving grace? Sweet potato chunks — tender, naturally sweet, and honestly the best part of the bowl. 🍜 Vermicelli Salad with “Vegan Meat” Let’s just say… maybe skip this one. The plant-based meat had a weirdly wet texture and tasted like an extremely salty + soggy version of mushroom-based “mock beef” 🥴. Not my thing. 📍 Chay Concept – Bellevue 💬 Final Take: A decent spot if you're vegan or super curious, but if you're an omnivore with options — maybe keep looking. 🏷️ #ChayConcept #BellevueVegan #EastsideEats #VeganCurry #PlantBasedLife #SeattleFoodReview #MeatEaterEatsVegan
