Loaded Cheese Fries photo from Korny Vibes

Nestled in the heart of Houston, Texas, Korny Vibes caught our attention with the bold “Vegan Cafe” sign atop the restaurant. The interior, with its clean white decor, provided a pleasant atmosphere as my friend and I took a look at the menu.

The menu at Korny Vibes is a haven for those craving vegan alternatives to familiar favorites. From burgers to nachos, the options are diverse. I opted for the “Loaded Cheese Fries,” which are topped with Chick’n (the plant based meat alternative used by Korny Vibes), queso sauce, lettuce, and pico de gallo. The fresh taste of the lettuce and pico struck a perfect balance with the queso and Chik’n. The vegan queso was so convincingly authentic that I almost forgot it was vegan! My friend, who is not vegan or vegetarian, ordered the 4-piece basket of vegan chicken tenders. They were served with fries and a sauce similar to the Raising Cane’s sauce.

My non-veggie friend was impressed with the taste of the Chick’n and said, “It doesn’t even taste vegan.” I also tried a piece of her tender and found that the crispy and delicious exterior lived up to the promise.

They had plenty of great seating options in the interior, however, we chose to enjoy the weather and dine outside. Our food arrived quickly which added to our positive experience. The cheese fries ended up being my personal highlight with the intricate blend of flavors. Korny Vibes successfully managed to capture the essence of non-vegan favorites without compromising taste.

Overall, Korny Vibes successfully delivers a satisfying experience for both vegans and non-vegans alike. With its delicious replication of non-vegan favorites and a welcoming ambiance, it’s a great spot for those exploring plant-based food in Houston.
