Amitabul Simply Vegan is one of the best vegan restaurants in Chicago for dinner, especially if you want a strong option in Chicago.

Amitabul Simply Vegan has been making a case for years that plant-based Korean cooking doesn't need meat as a scaffold — it needs conviction.

Editorial review updated•Jul 28, 2026

Amitabul Simply Vegan has been making a case for years that plant-based Korean cooking doesn't need meat as a scaffold — it needs conviction. This Chicago institution operates from a genuinely Buddhist culinary philosophy, which means no garlic, no onions, and no shortcuts dressed up as purity. That constraint sounds limiting until you consider that it forces a kind of ingenuity most vegan restaurants don't even attempt. The room is unpretentious and the price point lands at a democratic $, which matters: this isn't a wellness brand cosplaying as a restaurant. It's a kitchen with a worldview, and from everything diners and regulars consistently report, the cooking follows accordingly. The menu has a clear center of gravity. Dr. K's Cure All Noodle Soup is the bowl people reach for when they want something restorative — reportedly broth-forward in the slow-cooked way that takes real time to achieve. The Spicy Kimchi Bi Bim Bop is known for its layered fermented heat and the deliberate bibimbap geometry that rewards a proper stir before eating. Mandoo Vegan Dumplings are a frequent order for good reason — the dumpling format travels well through a Buddhist no-allium kitchen. The Grilled Curry Tofu Stir is reportedly a stronger dish than its modest menu description suggests, with curry seasoning that reads as considered rather than cautious. And then there's the Dark Side of the Moon — described by regulars as the wild-card order, best approached without asking too many questions first. Practical notes worth knowing: portions are consistently described as more substantial than the menu's language implies, so resist the impulse to over-order. Lunch is the window regulars recommend — kitchen at its freshest, pacing generous. A table of four should cover the menu well. Confirm hours before going, as they're known to shift seasonally.
