MI LAH VEGETARIAN
RESTAURANT

"I was delighted that Mi Lah was open for Sunday dinner, in contrast to its usual schedule. They even featured a special Mother's Day menu. Our favorites were: the cream of asparagus soup with roasted pine nuts and truffle oil; the oyster mushroom roll with white asparagus and pepper with red wine reduction; and the grilled seitan over edamame puree with truffle oil and miso broth. A great addition to the Philly dining scene. I look forward to another visit."

"Mi Lah is a new and very pleasant and relaxed all vegan restaurant in downtown Philadelphia, on 18th St. just around the block or so from the vegan Su Xing House on Sansome St.

They brought out a free plate of small breads with a walnut hummus spread. The first time I tried their Seitan, Potato and Celery Stuffed Grilled Zucchini with vegan sour cream. The second night I tried the Pan Seared Zucchini Patties with yellow cream sauce, steamed vegetables and mashed potatoes, which I like better and can recommend. The vegan chocolate mousse cake was also quite good. The waitress said they season their seitan when they make it, separate from any sauces added as part of whichever menu option it is a part of. It is incorporated into some of their appetizers.

Mi Lah also has several vegan sandwiches only available during lunch, including a vegan philly cheese steak which I did not get to try. Mi Lah is less crowded, and has faster service than the better known Horizons. Certainly highly recommended!"
