Flower Child — Restaurant in Houston

What better way to have a girls brunch than over a healthy meal at flower child! You don't feel bad for whatever dish you choose; so go on and buy that bottle of prosecco. With a group of 4 girls, the bottle gave us 2 pours each. Bubbly goodness so don't skip out!

The concept of the establishment is to get in line first, to order, then find a table. I came on a Saturday around 1ish so the line wasn't to bad. If I had to guess-timate there were 15-20 people in front of me and that took maybe around 20ish minutes. If you are in line a lot longer, they have a small booth outside that provides water to keep you hydrated. You can look at it as the hydration station before you kill a bottle of prosecco like we did. Once you reach the cashier, you order and pay and are given a number to take with you, and place on your table. The place looked packed when we got there, so we were worried that we wouldn't be able to get a table inside right away because outside was chilly. We didn't worry for long because shortly after we ordered lots of tables opened up. To keep all our orders on one number (since we were together) they had us all go to one cashier, give our orders and paid individually. They have a good system to keep the flow going. Against the wall you will see where you can grab your utensils as well as water.

I ordered "Mother Earth" under the bowls section. The combination of ancient grains, sweet potato, portobello mushrooms, diced cucumber, avocado, broccoli pesto, onions, leafy greens, hemp seeds, and tofu (I added it in) mixed with the red pepper miso vinaigrette was amazing!! It was so good that I should have also ordered one to go! That way instead of dreaming about eating it again, I could just open my fridge and eat. Well, I didn't so I'm left to dreaming about it. It's nice to have a place that has healthy options and fresh ingredients.

This place is absolutely adorable and has character if your really looking. Keep your eyes out for the yellow bird clock and look under the tables and see the green legs...such...

Flower Child is the new, hot restaurant to go to in 2018. Now this is a chain that just opened their first Houston location and so I am expecting that they should have everything down on good food and service. I came here because my dining companion is vegan and I know they have a great vegan menu. Once you enter the restaurant, you will order from the counter and there's two entrances, one for dine in and the other one is for to-go.

When you order at the counter, they will assign a number and will already drop off at a table that's pre-assigned to your party so you do not have to have one person find a table and sit there to "reserve" it for the whole party. Beverages such as water and tea is self-serve, along with all the utensils and napkins are self-serve as well. Once the food is ready, they will have a food runner deliver it to your table and take your number away once everything has arrived.

I ordered The Plates, and if you order 3 plates, it will be a total of $9, so basically $3 a plate. I got Indian Inspired Cauliflower, Sauteed Spinach, and Yuzu Brussels Sprouts. My dining companion got the Vegan Poke, and we both got a beer. Once I paid at the counter, we got our beer and found our table. I really like the atmosphere that's inside the restaurant, very hip and chic. Our food came out in good time and I got to say, the plates are definitely a bit smaller than I thought it's gonna be so 3 plates didn't really fill me up, especially it's mostly vegetables but I felt pretty satisfy with my food. The vegan poke looked really good and I took a bite of it and it tasted really delicious. All the vegetables I got are great and well cooked.

I can definitely see why this place is a popular place here in the Galleria area. I would certainly come back and try other vegan food here, or maybe if I feel rich, I will add a protein to my food. And I bet they will build another Flower Child in other parts of Houston too. Do come here on a weekday as weekends tend to be much...

Every time I go to flower child I pretty much have the same meals... The salmon plate with spinach or brussel sprouts or potatoes or eggplant.(a choice of 2) Or I have a steak plate with potatoes or spinach or brussel sprouts.(a choice of 2)

Today, however, because of a reward, I tried the crush avocado toast... And let me tell you!!!!!!- OMG. That was incredible. It looked so delicious I HAD to just eat it while I was driving and I'm sitting here typing this review very very sad that is all gone! LOL I'm laughing to keep from CRYING. LOL a I digress... Another fundamental reason why I always go to Flower Child is because of Cynthia. She works the register and is a perfect person for that. She just makes me want to keep ordering there over and over and over again. Extremely polite, great temperament and a great disposition. She's always always always smiling! 😊 She always has the best suggestions and I think that her face there at the register will continue to bring you business! Granted, the food IS sublime, so I'm not taking anything from that, it's just that when you have people in the service industry who actually know how to do their job AND do it well, .it makes really things better for the company and the customer experience. I amw this review partly because of the food but in large part because of Cynthia! You rock and I hope that you continue to advance your career there! I'll see you when you become...
