Native Plate - Richmond

From the apps and drinks (mocktails included), to the full entrees, it’s all delicious. Vegan and vegetarian options are in plenty. Taylor was there for our table of five throughout the night, ensuring we had whatever we needed! The kitchen is clearly efficient because our food came out quickly, hot and well flavored. They have three spice levels and I definitely think they tried to play me because I didn’t get the highest spice when I asked haha but I think it’s fair to play caution with new customers and they gave me a side of chili oil when I asked. Overall, good vibes, delicious food (we almost ordered the whole menu), and really attentive service! If it wasn’t closing, I would have ordered food to go!Will invite more to come eat with me here!

Came here based on online reviews, but I was a little disappointed. Food portions were small and expensive. Great service! Menu has limited choices. Gochujang Cauliflower and the Katsu Curry chicken was very bland. Calamari was delicious. Duck Bao Buns was very delicious, you only get three buns for $18. Curry Lakas is a Malaysian coconut curry egg noodle soup, it was one of their popular dishes.

Outstanding flavor. The restaurant was full when we arrived around 12:30 but we managed to snag window seat. I wanted the lunch special Pho, but unfortunately the tofu version still has beef broth, so, I opted for the Curry Laksa based on the waiter’s recommendation, and is was excellent. Full of flavor with lots of fresh veggies with tofu. I got the egg noodles but they can sub rice noodles. Service was quick and friendly. It’s a block away from the Capitol. I’ll definitely be back!

This review is for take out. Fried rice had a piece of tin metal in it. The rice had too much oil or butter in it. Fried calamari was good.

Any time my husband and I are in Richmond, this is one of our go to spots! Locally owned, cozy and aesthetic ambiance, friendly and welcoming staff, and DELICIOUS food and bevs! If you're visiting, and you have the honor of having Lorna or Caleb as your bartender, you're in for a treat! 10/10 recommend!
