Worcester Magazine Gives Veggie Corner a Good Review
Posted by Drew.
This week’s Worcester Mag featured a review of Veggie Corner, which is located up on 56 Hamilton Street, Worcester. Veggie Corner is a vegan Asian restaurant with many Vietnamese dishes. In September 2009, Veggie Corner took the place of Quan Yin. It’s super cheap and the food is great. Worcester Magazine seems to agree. Zeke Williams (presumably a psuedonym) rated the food at 4/5 star, the ambiance at 2.5/5 stars, service at 4/5 and value at 4/5. That’s a pretty admirable score.
From WoMag’s review:
In between sips of some hot tea that warmed us on this wintry day, our server brought us our entrées. Lola honed in on the stir fry with veggie “beef” and vegetables. Delicate strands of pasta shared a plate with baby mushrooms, broccoli, pea pods, and crispy red peppers. Lola could tell the veggies were fresher than fresh and perfectly cooked alongside delicious portions of tender veggie “beef.” They were tossed in a sauce that boasted a faint yet savory kick.
I settled up next to an order of crispy fried veggie half “chicken” that was served in a curry-coconut milk-enlivened sauce. Bravo. The faux meat was tender and bursting with flavor. Select cuts of the veggie “chicken” swam in the spicy sauce that had a nice slow burn, though the chefs at Veggie Corner made sure the flavors did not hide behind the heat.
The plate was also well-balanced. Slivers of pineapple and flower-shaped carrots decorating the outskirts made the palate dance smoothly between spicy and sweet.
What do you think about Veggie Corner? How does it compare to Quan Yin?
