Dodah's Kitchen

I was in the neighborhood recently and excited to discover Dodah’s Vegan Kitchen. As someone who is plant-based/vegan, I was eager to give it a try. I ordered the sides platter, choosing the mushroom salad as my main side along with the sweet kale salad and collard greens. Every dish was flavorful, well-seasoned, and generously portioned. I had leftovers for a couple of days, which was great. Where I think there’s room for improvement is in the customer service experience. There was only one staff member working, and although the restaurant wasn’t busy at the time, there was no greeting when I entered. The thick glass barriers in front of the food also made it a bit difficult to hear and communicate. I believe small touches can go a long way—like acknowledging guests when they arrive, as

Food was delicious and fresh. I had the fried oyster mushrooms and they came out steaming hot and crunchy. I don’t eat fried food often and they were so good! I had the collard greens; they had just the right amount of seasoning with a slight vinegar taste that was scrumptious. Last I had my favorite, cabbage! They mixed it in with sliced peppers and onions. I love cabbage and served peppery like this is soo yummy! Service: 1 star off because the staff was in the kitchen and the self service kiosk was not working correctly so I had to flag down the staff to get their attention. Once they came up front, they were really nice. And the cook made the best fried oyster mushrooms. Atmosphere: clean and I love the plants. It’s a spot for a quick lunch. The bathroom was also really clean with a

It hurts to say, but this location has fallen off drastically. I’m sure it comes with great pressure being the only true vegan spot in town and I don’t think a lot of people are cut out for that. Respectfully. Another major downside here is that the people that you guys hire don’t speak a lick of english... Which doesn’t help AT ALL in a predominantly urban area. Though we still have respect for them. It would help to be able to communicate. I say all of this as someone who truly enjoys this franchise. Hopefully this message finds you well and you seek to make improvements in the near future.

Pro's No line when I arrived. Cons: No customer service, the gentleman did not open his mouth to speak not once. No greeting, no verbal acknowledgement,no thank you after spending almost $40. The sandwich was extremely salty, the food was not warm. Fries were saggy, rice and beans were not warm or flavored,the Mac and cheese was dry along with the carrot cake tasting like it's been sitting for several days. This is the second location I've visited and this by far was the worst. I will not return or suggest. Total food cost, experience while in the establishment,and food quality was a 1/1. Just because it was the only vegan option near me at that time and I was hungry. I'm truly disappointed in this situation.

I recently visited Dodah’s Kitchen, and while the overall experience had its highlights, there were some aspects that could be improved. Service: The customer service was good once it started, but it was frustrating walking in and finding no one at the front. I had to call out for assistance, which wasn’t the most welcoming start. Food: • The vegan ribs were disappointing—too hard for my liking. I think they would be much better if made with jackfruit instead. • The fried shrimp had great flavor but was fried a bit too hard. • The vegetables were delicious, and the mac & cheese was especially good. • The seafood mac was amazing but a little dry. • The General Tso’s cauliflower was a standout—absolutely delicious! Overall, Dodah’s has some great plant-based options, but I’d love to see s
