Let’s Bring Home The Tofu!
Hello plant loving community! I have embarked on a new adventure to bring our tofu served in the restaurant to your homes! Help me bring this to your home tables. If you would please head over to my Gofundme page click the green link button above and place your preorder by making a $250.00 donation to the tofu fund! I need 1,000 folks from our robust plant-loving community to preorder $250. each and we will reach our goal and be able to purchase a mothership of a tofu-making machine! I know we are WAY more than 1,000 strong we got this!

"Artful upscale dishes take vegan cuisine to its greatest potential, and can even impress a carnivore at chef-owner Makini Howell’s Capitol Hill bistro. With an airy atmosphere of chic sophistication and fine service, it’s the spot for a classy date." — Zagat
"Plum Chopped has the function of a food truck but the design of a restaurant. The elements are simply and precisely placed. The composition best captures the spirit of Liz Dunn’s Chophouse Row." — The Stranger

"Great service and interesting flavors, including many vegan options! The ice cream was unique and fantastic. The ambiance was pretty much like we were in someone's kitchen, which made it feel like home" — Customer Review
"From the same management of Plum Bistro, Plum Pantry is the casual version. My vegan partner is hard to please; but we both celebrate this place, and it's adventures in eating. We are especially glad for it's location, where extra-healthy food is harder to find!" — Customer Review
"Oh my lanta! The Buffalo Portobello burger is the best burger I’ve ever had! The sauce was delicious, it’s so much better than any vegan veggie patty you’ll get at Red Robin’s or Johnny Rockets. The price of $10ish might seem a little steep at first but it is so worth it. Caution though that it definitely will set a high standard for all other vegan burgers you’ll have in the future!" — Customer Review
