Reishi Plant Kitchen in Worcester

Third visit to Reishi - for a birthday meal on a Saturday evening. The food was again delicious, with lots of variety. We particularly liked the 'fish' cakes, with a wonderful lemony tarragon sauce, and the cheesecake. The staff were great and the atmosphere was lovely. Looking forward to our next visit.

Honestly outstanding. I’m not a vegan far from, neither my friend who I dined with. The food was outstanding, they smashed the balance of the sweet, sour and salt. The menu is well balanced and not pretentiously vegan, but yet ethically on point. It was refreshing to feel the chefs passion in the food with the flavours and presentation. The service from walking in was warm and welcoming. We were a little early but made to feel like it wasn’t a problem at all. Can’t wait to come back!

Beautifully presented food and very tasty. It was a new experience for us trying a plant based menu. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will be back.

Finding Reishi was a delight! On arrival, I spotted a special on the chalkboard, of Rose Matcha. It was outstanding and looked exquisite too, a swirl of rose pink and matcha green. The menu had so many great ideas, with several intriguing dishes to choose from, so we shared everything and got to try each dish on every course. The great ideas turned out to be superbly executed, skilful cooking at its vegan best! Attentive, highly professional staff and delicious food, in a lovely setting filled with natural light. I can’t recommend it highly enough. We had travelled for 90 minutes to get there, after seeing the website and our expectations were surpassed, it was well worth our journey.

For me as an omnivore I was keen to taste a pure vegan meal. My partner had the gnocchi starter while I had the salmon skewers. We both found them very tasty. A good start. However, the mains was not so good. I had the Greek lamb but found it very mushy and no real flavour from the patty itself. The flavour came from the tszaki side. Also one pound charge extra for a wedge of lemon and herbs on the fries. My partner had the fillet steak. Looks big in the menu photos but it's tiny and again, no flavour. My daughter's friend wasn't impressed with the prawn spaghetti. We didn't have a dessert. My main gripe is the price fro what you get. At the end of the day it's mostly vegetables on a plate but with the sauce being extra for the fillet steak costing twenty pounds plus, that's way too expensive. I understand their ethos and admire what they are trying to do but I wouldn't visit again or recommend it. Another let down was the menu online states Guinness zero available but they don't have it. As designated driver my only option was peroni zero bottle at nearly 5 pounds!

The Summer ‘24 menu is a game-changer. Had the ‘salmon’ followed by the ‘steak’ …. Best vegan meal I’ve ever had. It’s a perfect example of less is more. Everything on the plate has a role to perform - there are no fillers here. You don’t need to be vegan to enjoy this outstanding food. Plus the staff are lovely too.
