929 Kitchen - Columbia

Don’t let the Korean BBQ sign outside of the restaurant fool you they have multiple veg options! Each time I’ve been, I really enjoyed the experience. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the vegan diet. The manager said they can make almost every dish vegan, which is super nice. Their bibimbap is my favorite with quite fresh ingredients. Great cocktails and beer as well.

We went to 929 thinking that there'd be several options for us based on previous reviews. It was busy so we sat at the bar which does serve full menu. We asked the bar tender about vegan options and she was nice enough to go check with chef for us. It turns out that the only real vegan item on the menu is the veggie bibimbap. The tofu is not vegan. The breading is not vegan and it is fried in the same oil as the meat options on the menu. We asked about some of the other stir fried options but they are cooked in the same wok as the meat options as well. I was very disappointed that there was only the one entree option but thankful that the bartender (Alli) was thorough enough to make sure that we didn't eat something we'd regret. We ended up getting the seaweed salad, edamame, and vegetable bibimbap which comes with miso soup (vegan, no bonito flakes). Everything that we did have was great although a bit pricey for a bunch of veggies and rice.

This is like the perfect place for me. I walked in and the hostess was awesome and friendly. My waiter, Derrick (so many ways to spell it , was fantastic. He knew the menu inside out. He gave me the perfect vegan options. I had the vegan tofu taco and added walnuts and dried cranberries. Just perfect. I asked him what his schedule was for Saturday and made reservations. Saturday, I brought my husband and Derrick was even more on point. My husband is non-vegan and he was able to give him great options and who remembers what people order. Derrick does. He knew my exact order and the manager came and said you are back again and remembered my order. Ya'll I was in heaven. I am going back again this week : . I promise you.... you will not be disappointed...... I promise you.

Cool bar and restaurant. Open for lunch. Tofu is one of the options for most dishes. Staff very nice.

Great vegan options!! So many options to choose from!!
