TA Vegan House — Restaurant in Hamburg

A very exciting menu of vegetarian dishes that are immaculately presented.

I had the following:

#3 Red Magic - Tofu battered with rice served with a raspberry - beetroot - chili dip. While the chili dip was perfect in its balance of sweet, tart, and spicy, the tofu itself was a bit of a disappointment. In my opinion, it was overbattered, leading to a 4 to 1 ratio of rice puffs to tofu in each bite. The tofu was unable to shine through. 3/5

#9 La Lot - Tofu, king oyster mushrooms, and soy wrapped inside betel leaf (think dolmade) This was an absolute smash hit. The filling was savoury yet light and the betel leaf was the perfect messenger. This is a must order. 5/5

#12 Heartful - Breaded baked tofu skewer served with peanut sauce dip. A very straightforward dish that was well executed. I would warn anyone with a peanut allergy to not even sit two tables near this dish as the dip could definitely induce anaphylactic shock simply by proximity. While I personally did not like this dish as much as I hoped, fans of peanut sauce should definitely order this. 4/5

#15 Little Taiwan -A fried wonton noodle soup. It was hard to tell whether this or La Lot was my favourite. Again the filling was incredible and the wonton was fried to perfection. The soup was aromatic and left me wanting for more. The Big Bowl version of this must be heavenly. 5/5

On to the ambiance and service, the place was bustling when I got there but I was seated immediately by very friendly servers. The atmosphere is chic and you could feel the buzz of people who are loving their meal. Though I ordered four different dishes, they all flew out of the kitchen at the exact same time picture perfect, kudos to what must be a great team in the back.

The photos of the dishes are in order...

The food is prepared at the highest level of quality, fresh and beautifully done. The two let down (what a shame) for us is the noodle soup. The dumpling on its own is extremely salty, the noodle soup lack of character and depth of flavour and again extremely salty. I left the bowl of noodle with 4 beautiful looking dumplings which I can’t eat due to the salt level is unbearable. I ended up eating some of my friend’s udon. Next is the steamed mantou, it’s delicious but so hard to eat, this dish should be placed on a flat serving plate instead of in a bowl.

Overall, the food is great except the noodle soup- I feedback to the waitress but she didn’t receive the feedback and didn’t pass on to the kitchen or manager . That left my noodle wasted and not eaten (goes to food waste...

Vegan house is a top-notch plant-based restaurant near Landungsbrücken, and as its sister location in Winterhude, one of the best in the city. It is also in the Portugisischen Viertel, sorrounded by old school restaurants that offer only meat and fish, so it is also a statement of the consumer trends changing towards a plant based food. It was packed, and outside the competitors were almost empty. Winds of change, ze german would say.

We ordered one of the bigger bowls each and we shared a smaller one and the portions where perfect for 2. Tasty, spicy enough for my taste. They also have a green natural grass wall on the back...so it looks great too! Service is friendly and...
