Cravings Deli - Portage

They have great vegan options. Ramen is sooo good and we love the marinated tofu that comes with it. Also the vegan fired dumplings are incredible!

The place was a little hard to find because there’s no street sign that says “Cravings.” It’s inside the Asian food market. It was very cold in there (in February), but the food was good. You order and pick up food from a counter.

I really love their food and I’ve had a great time taking a couple of their cooking classes. However, the reason I didn’t give a full five-star rating is because they don’t allow you to place orders online or over the phone using a gift card. I was informed that I would need to go in to order, and that the wait was quite long. With a newborn and three other young kids, it’s not feasible for me to go to the store and wait 30 to 60 minutes. A bit of creativity or even just accepting phone orders in a more traditional way would make it much easier to use our welcome-baby gift card as intended.

This gem is located inside Pasific Rim Asian Grocery store. The ramen bowls (Pho) are incredible. I'm so glad I discovered this place. Food: 5/5, Service: 5/5, Atmosphere: 5/5.

The range of dishes at this restaurant, situated within the Pacific Rim Foods Asian market, is truly exceptional. The chefs behind the counter work tirelessly to ensure that the food is served quickly and efficiently. They offer a variety of meat dishes, many of which can also be customized to be vegan. Plus, they stay open until 8 PM! This is an update from my previous review dated March 8, 2024.
