The fries were fresh, homemade, and tasted great when served hot. The Sunshine Burger was good overall, with fresh toppings and plenty of flavor. My only personal preference is that I'm not a fan of beyond meat substitutes, so that kept it from being a favorite for me. Next time, I plan to try the black bean burger instead. I also tried the Golden Milk juice, not a favorite of mine. The food was fresh, the portions were satisfying, and it's a great option for anyone looking for vegetarian or plant-based choices. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu.

I want to start this review off by saying that the dedication and pride that both Ms. Arga and…read moreJames displayed in response to my previous experience has given me a different perspective on Sunshine's. After a conversation with Mr. James about the history of this location and the importance of their reputation and providing positive customer service, I came to the conclusion that this food is best enjoyed hot, fresh, and in house. There are a plethora of spaces for all kinds of people, whether quiet and reserved or lively and communicative. Sunshine's has a partially shaded patio that has a great ambience and honestly a pretty good place for small gatherings. To speak on the quality of the food, my experience this time around was excellent. I ordered the Black Bean Burger with a side of sweet potato fries. The patty was perfectly cooked and the addition of the veggies made it such a nutritious and light lunch. The only addition I would make is having a sauce ON the sandwich. However I did get some vegan mayo and a smoked sauce on the side to help with adding some moisture to the sandwich. Overall I am very grateful that I got to have a second experience here as I was hoping to become a loyal customer. I recommend this place to anyone who is looking to find a cultured food joint that emphasizes health consciousness!

A quinoa base topped with organic chicken, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and spinach with a delicious spicy cashew dressing. So good! The chicken salad was devoured by my husband.

My favorites are the chicken salads, beef chili, cauliflower chowder, and carrot-ginger soup. Most of their salads are delicious, with the Blake Bowl, Glow Bowl, and Power Bowls getting top marks. :) The English Toffee cookie is also totally delish! It's on the softer side but perfect for the sweet tooth. :D The parking lot usually always has space since the shops in the area are mostly in-and-out stores. The inside is bright, simple but pleasing, and open with a few tables for dining in. Service has always been friendly. I do wish they would put nutrition facts on their products! Since I can't track the macros as easily, Green Fork & Straw is my splurge (both for price and diet) :D

Sooooo. I'm back in H-Town & had to try my OG vegan spot. I was so excited to try it again and was…read morehalf impressed with what I received. They had the same menu items and I noticed the prices increased since I last been. The cashier was a bit timid, he talked so low but he was as helpful as he could be. The ambiance is exactly the same. It's intimate and small, cool for a private or solo outing. I would say the music was up a bit louder than expected but it was cool. Now shall we????? The food. Cali ($13) : 4/10 - simply put. No flavor. Fried well though. Not the same. Lil Red BBQ ($12) - 8/10 - The jackfruit could've been seasoned more but the texture was great. My girlfriend liked how soft the bread was also. The BBQ was also good. Notyo Salad ($13) -8.5/10 - This was the most consistent item on the menu. The only thing I can say about it was that it needed more sauce to cover the amount of arugula and micro greens that came on it. But y'all ITS FLAVORFUL. The lime flavor with the avocado. It's MUAAAAHHHHH :* Sweet Potato Fries ($3/each) - 8.5/10 - Fried well. Good portion for price. Left us feeling light. My rating... this is an affordable and great health spot. If you're paying attention they inform people about their needs, ingredients included in the meals, and what the benefits are. If you are new to vegan food this is a great start. This was actually the first vegan restaurant I ever been to. And I enjoy it every time. This time it was less explosive coming back 5 years later.

I placed an online order for 8 items 4 days before the scheduled pick up time today. When I got…read morethere not only my food was not ready for pickup, they could not find it by the order number they have texted me. Finally they found the order by my name and their responses were as follows: - it's for Friday (my response: I placed the order on Friday. The pickup is now) - we called you to tell you two of your additions were not raw (my response: you didn't leave a message) - something suggesting a miscommunication between order received and the kitchen. They then told me it would take less than 15 minutes to prepare it. I agreed. However it took half an hour. So far, I have tried their soulberger, nori rolls, raw cheesecake, and rawritto. They were good but not so great for me to dive an hour from my home to their place.

I love Indian food, but I have no idea how to make it myself. I tried rotizen for the first time a…read morefew weeks ago on the recommendation of a friend (Thanks Samantha L!). After seeing that one of the standard options had cottage cheese, I emailed the company to see if a vegan box was available. Within a few minutes, I heard back that it would be no problem. Yay, just what I like to hear!! Basically, you get a huge box of vacuum sealed Indian food packages with freezer packs to your door. You don't need to be home when it's delivered---just put it all in your freezer before you go to bed that day. (The packages are relatively compact--you won't need to clear out your entire freezer like you would with freshly). My first meal with red kidney beans was great. I followed the directions to a T (1.5 minutes in the microwave for the entree and gravy and 1 minute for the rice) and it was steaming hot. It tasted exactly like Indian food I've had at restaurants and friends' houses. I would fully recommend it! As compared to other services, I found the portions incredibly affordable. I don't know how to make Indian food on my own, so I've traditionally ordered vegan Indian food for $3/a can. I've also ordered takeout for ~$10-15 per person. This comes out much closer to $7-8, especially if you are not an especially voracious eater. Cons: One of the disadvantages is that the directions included with the package can be a bit confusing if you are not super familiar with Indian dishes. I didn't know exactly what the "gravy" was from the "entree" I sent this in the feedback form that rotizen emailed me, so I hope this will be included in future boxes.

I've ordered weekly meals a total of 4 times now, and I've never been disappointed. Ever! I said I would never be able to be vegan because of my love of cheese, and they have made me a believer! The Mexican casserole, lasagnas, all of them were super tasty and were not lacking a thing-not to mention, it tastes like real cheese. Whether you're 100% vegan, or looking to be more intentional about making sure the bulk of your diet comes from plant sources, this is an amazing way to transition into that! You don't have to worry about anything. Just order, heat, eat, and enjoy! I know I sure do! Oh, and the blueberry pancakes are to die for! What are you waiting for?

It's counter service so we ordered first then found a place to sit while we waited for the food. Everything was made fresh, which was nice to know. The place was quiet and empty at 4PM but people started showing up to order around 5PM. I really enjoyed the smoothie and the staff are friendly and provide great service, bringing out the food and asking if we need anything else. The restaurant is clean and there's no tables left dirty for long periods of time if a guest was sitting there. I'd definitely come back at a later time for lunch or dinner cause I think this would be a great sunday brunch place to enjoy with friends.

Unfortunately the recent parking situation is subpar; the lot across the street charges a toll now and street parking in this area is tricky. The interior has an area for ordering up front and the cooking is done right behind the counter. There are a few small tables for dining in; there were a lot of takeout orders. We tried some popular appetizers; hummus, kibbeh; falafels, and cauliflower. I got the gyro meat for the entree. Overall, the flavors and portions were average; nothing was spectacular in either direction and most of the dishes came out as you've probably expected or tried before if you've had Mediterranean style food. The kibbeh was probably the tastiest thing tried. The hummus was fine, the falafel was fine if not slightly dry, and the gyro meat was fine as well.
