If the address of One Veg World looks familiar, it should, it is a few doors north of the now closed, Chicken Box- a very good place for broasted chicken! Chicken Box is now a Mexican restaurant. One Veg World recently celebrated their 13th anniversary. They also have a location in Pasadena!
The restaurant has two units in this complex. The unit where you enter is the market and to-go orders, with a few overflow tables. The other unit is for their main dining room. A good sized restaurant, but they need to fix the air conditioning! They had 3 or 4 fans on trying to cool the place off in no warm day!
Teriyaki and broccoli, side of brown rice, 8.50. A very good dish. The brown rice was cooked perfectly. The veggies, including broccoli and carrots were cooked crisp but tender. The meat was a very good example of fake meat. It tasted exactly like beef, the only difference is the texture, which is a bit chewy. The portion was a bit small, but otherwise a very good dish.
Service was below average. While the young lady helping me was nice, she was just "off." She was behind the register and she asked if I wanted to dine in or take out. I said take out. She said I can take your order here. Good start. I go there and she said do I know what I want. It's my first time there, how the hell am I suppose to know what you got. She makes me go to the hostess stand and get a menu. Great service there! That's like making the customer get his own silverware or drinks! I place my order and pay in cash. She completely forgets to give me my change! I tell her, I need my change! It seemed as if her attitude was I was going to leave the entire amount of change as her tip!
They need to train her better or she needs to improve her attitude. She should get the menu for me or they should leave a menu at the take out counter.
While the food was impressive at One Veg World, the service wasn't acceptable and a turnoff. I wouldn't rush back here!
