There food is amazing, you can never find another vegetarian restaurant like this, i found out recently they have two restaurants, one on Pell street and Mott street. I love there eggplant with garlic sauce over rice dish, and many others, there dishes are big for a good price too, it will sure fill you up :) i love this restaurant !

Humble House, for the humble privileged food-lovers

I loved whatever House of Vegetarian did to whatever food I was eating. I was welcomed in by a happy-peppy-quiet, middle-aged woman who looked like she lived there. Beside some soy-sauce splattered on the wall, she seated us with little ado and no initial forks. I ordered the lemon chicken (9) and 3-mshrm rice (5). Servings were generous; mshrms were unlike anything; full of meaty, aromatic flavor, and piled upon cabbage and fresh rice. The chicken was either crusty or soft-sweet, sour, spicy or tart, fully embodied the mouth-watering meatiness of my youth. Dim, modest, bizarre, and quaint. If you’re looking for tasty, artfully-crafted, and cheap Asian-vegetarian knockoffs, and respect that waitresses are as culturally diverse as the food they serve, then this is your place.
