A few days ago a friend of mine (Umino Haruna) came to visit all the way from Japan. Besides the normal showing her around America stuff, this also means that I’ve been out to eat quite a lot more than I normally would be. We’ve been some unremarkable places, but yesterday we went to one of my favorite places, which is in Philly’s Chinatown.
It’s called Kingdom of Vegetarian, and despite the horrible name, they have pretty good food. It’s a good and casual, and since it’s exclusively vegan there usually aren’t a lot of loud, annoying Americans there, so I rather like it.
I’m not the best restaurant reviewer in the world, but suffice it to say that even after sitting in downtown traffic for an hour and kissing the bumper of a BMW to let an ambulance by, I thought it was worth it. I got the General Tso’s Chicken (which is what I always get and what I’ve gotten of Chinese food since I was a predictable 8 year old) and it was rather good and definitely filling. Haruna got the veggie fried rice and rather liked it but couldn’t finish.
Another nice thing about Kingdom of Vegetarians is that it’s not obscenely expensive. Of anywhere we’ve eaten thus far, it was the cheapest, and our dinner came out to just $16 between the both of us. So, if you’re in the city, give it a try!

That’s very disrespectful on their part, I agree. I didn’t find it the least bit funny.
Haha, that comment was supposed to be about the Wendy’s commercial. Oops.
