This restaurant is nasty. I used to go there from time to time until the last time I went there my friend had BUGS in her food. I know it's vegetarian and it's unique, but bugs in your food is not...

Being a vegetarian who is accustomed to going to normal restaurants and having one or two meatless option, I was overwhelmed by the incredible selection at Grasshopper. However, it was disappointing...

I'd take grasshopper over budda's delight anyday. But unfortauntely, Ive realized by now - that if I'm going out to dinner with non-vegetarians it is a lot smarter to just go to a meat and veggie...

Grasshopper is okay vegan-Asian food. Tasty, but nothing to shout about. It's hipster heaven, that's for sure, and the tempura is yummy, as is the "no name." Still, it's largely typical vegan riffs on...

I don't know why people flip out about this place. I'll give it props that it's vegan- that's nice. But I'd rather walk to Buddha's Delight. This place is a see and bee seen place for uptight...

Despite its reputation for fantastic food, variety, and a lovely atmosphere, Grasshopper will only get a 3-star rating from me, simply because my third or fourth time there, a cockroach or large beetle...

The Golden Era of the East Coast. There is a long standing debate with Bostonians if Grasshopper or Buddha's has better vegetarian -fake meat meals. I fell for Grasshopper and loved to go for the...

I am not a vegetarian but I went to eat here with my vegetarian wife, anyway. The menu items all looked appetizing. I had the Seafood in Taro Nest and she had the Chow Fun Pockets. Both dishes looked and...

I disagree with others' comments- the Grasshopper is only for vegetarians/vegans. The "meat" tasted like tofu, of course, but the sauces were quite good. The photos are very flattering- the place is much more...

Grasshopper never ceases to amaze me. You can order randomly from the menu and not be disappointed. Even if you're not vegan/vegetarian, you'll love it. I promise. Even my most carniverous friends thoroughly...

The location is easy to find. Service was quite good, and the waiter answered our questions happily. We started out with the seaweed salad (which had been recommended), which was tasty. I ordered a setan...

Our waiter spoke not a word of English, including being unable to understand our orders. We pointed, he wrote something and went away, and then a hostess came up to "clarify" our order; it was clear she had no...

The service was nothing to brag about, but the food was absolutely amazing. I'm not a vegetarian, but after going here I'm not that afraid of leaving out the meat.
