This is one of the finest vegan restaurants I've had the pleasure of dining in. Chef Troy's reputation precedes him and is validated in the offerings at TLC Vegan. I solicit this is the #1 Vegan restaurant in Dallas!

The food here is delicious! I would come here again, but not for an intimate setting. The tables are crammed really close together and there is no privacy. You are literally able to hear both your neighboring table’s conversations as if you were part of a large group. We purchased a special occasion dinner but we were not served our meal until our neighboring tables arrived. So, by the time we got our appetizer, we had been sitting there for 30min! I’ve been to many of these types of occasion meals at other restaurants and have never been made to wait for other guests to arrive late. If the reservation is at a set time, expect a wait. Yes, the food is fresh made and that takes time. I get that, but that also means that preparation begins earlier as an appetizer should arrive shortly after you arrive for a set meal menu. Again, the food is great and most meals are the kind you can’t replicate at home without some culinary experience. If you go on your own or with friends in a group, you’ll enjoy eating here. But if you take a date, be prepared to share your conversation with others.

We had a great time with this six-course menu. Have eaten takeout a ton back when they were at the Revolving Kitchen in Garland, and did their take-away Thanksgiving Dinner back in 2022. Always EXCELLENT food!!

This is my third visit to TLC and I love it every time. Lots of delicious options! Also, it’s a scratch kitchen so you can give them a list if sensitivities or allergies when you order and feel comfortable with what’s served.

Always amazing. I am so glad this gem is nearby! The food is great, and the chef rotates the menu seasonally (right now, there are a lot of pastas). Everything is vegan, but items with nuts and gluten are also marked to make it easy for all diners to choose the best dish. Everything I’ve ordered has been exceptional! This time, we both had the Lion’s Mane with polenta. The mushroom was absolutely fantastic, the polenta was the perfect amount of crunchy on the outside without being dry inside, and the veggies were perfect - still had some crunch without being raw. Small restaurant, so probably best to make a reservation if during peak dining hours on a weekend!

Great experience. Took a skeptic with me for lunch. The oyster mushrooms in the marinara sauce on bowtie pasta was a big hit. Highly recommend.
