Native Plate in Richmond

Love this concept behind this restaurant. Service and atmosphere were nice, but this is not the place to find authentic Asian streetfood. I ordered Singapore Noodles and it had a decided lack of flavor. Basically it tasted like vermicelli + oil + salt + curry powder. Very bland. Completely lacking in the fresh ginger, garlic, and rice wine that are so essential to this dish. My daughter ordered the pho with chicken. She said it was tasteless and oddly sweet, and couldn t finish it. My husband had szchechuan chicken, which he thought was pretty good. His lemonade was also good he said. Heads up! The cold water served at the table was tap, unfiltered, and tasted strongly like chlorine. And tea was made from that water and also tasted like chlorine.

Loved the food, had the Nasi goreng ( comfort food for me) loved it. All other dishes were great too.

Loved the entire vibe, the food was amazing and came in massive portions. The Singapore noodles were so good. Unique mixed drinks as well.

Went here with my wife and some family recently. It s a fun little spot to stop by in downtown, but I didn t find the food very flavorful. I got the spicy miso ramen, and while the noodles were perfect, the broth itself was very bland (almost no spice at all hardly any red pepper flakes)

My favorite place to get takeout in the area. Im skeptical of pan-Asian restaurants, but everything Ive tried on the menu has been really great. The dan dan noodles are my favorite.

Great place if you a vegan/pescatarian !! Delicious and tasty! Great vibes here and I will return and I highly recommend

Delicious spot with great atmosphere and service. Everything we had was fantastic and tasted almost as good as my grandma used to make ;)

Love it

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. The only drawback is that the tables are very close together

Ok,after reading reviews i guess its much easier to please new yorkers than locals.I would give them ten stars hands down

Great vibe for vegetarians!! Our server Nate was lovely!

Customer Service during Lunch time was the worst. Understood is busy but, the man that served us was very rude from the minute we walked in. Told us to MOVE instead of being polite about it til he fixed our table. He snatched our menus from our hands, and tried to even take it before we were done looking over the menu. This review is before our food has been served.

The customer service was awful as soon as my coworkers and I walked in the door. Granted there was a crowd when we walked in during lunch time. However the Hispanic waiter was very rude. He told my coworker to move out of his way before seating us instead of asking. Once seated he slammed our glasses on the table. We waited 15 minutes he did not come back to serve us. I then went to the bar to order, he recognized that and decided to ask if I needed his assistance. Very unprofessional and very rude! I almost did not want to eat here because of this.

Food was amazing. Service was not it! It s was our first time going here & their customer service was horrible!

Native Plate needs five more stars. Make it 10 out of 10. The sweet & sour chicken entry was delicious. I had the beef and rice, and my husband had the chicken and rice. If we hadnt run thru the food, I would have had photos. I dont even remember the actual names of the food on the menu. End of story, try and taste for yourself. Give it a try. The service, atmosphere, and food are worth the price.

Delicious and affordable!! Great vibe. I am never one to get salad anywhere but their Salmon Larb Salad was probably one of the best salads I ever had! We also got the Nasi Goreng (Indonesian Fried Rice) and the Dan Dan Noodles and we loved it! We thought the portions were pretty generous for what we had. We would definitely come back again.

Amazing noodles. Got the Dan Dan, perfect. Great atmosphere and bartender too

Great food, great service, liked the ambiance. Absolutely recommend the Indonesian fried rice and Tigers Milk cocktail.

Great Asian (Thai and Vietnamese) dishes, delicious Vietnamese coffee and super friendly service!

Banging place for a great Asian inspired dishes. We enjoyed wings, duck bao bao and several other plates in our group. Everything was very tasty and well presented. We will be back! Parking: It s more or less downtown Richmond, parking is always a bit of a challenge for any restaurant in the area. We parked a two blocks away on the street with a meter. I personally drive a large truck, this always adds to the adventure. Worth the effort tho.

Bellhop at Omni recommended this place and it did not disappoint. Had the whole place to myself due to arriving at 4pm but when you re hungry you re hungry am I right? What a cool location and vibe. My waiter Caleb was so great. Kept it real and told me everything on the menu is amazing. I had the wings to start and the dandan noodles as my entree. HOLY COW, it was some of the best Asian food I ve ever had. Left feeling like a balloon but a very very satisfied balloon. 10/10 would recommend!

One of the best spots in the city. Good prices, wonderful staff, cozy atmosphere, and coconut curry to die for.

Loved our visit. The food is so tasty. Had cauliflower. It was sauced but still had some crispy. The aoli for the calamari was so good. Peanut salad fresh and shareable. Maybe could benefit from a bit more soy or tamari in the peanut sauce. Dan dan noodles were great with some boychoi and peppers to balance the noodles, beef and spice. Creative cocktails. Great service. Nice atmosphere.

My friend and I enjoyed a Thursday night happy hour at the bar. Our bartender Caleb was the absolute best - responsive, friendly, and engaging. The drinks were top notch. Cannot wait to go back.

Atmosphere and service are lovely. Food is OK, but was not , but not as spectacular as I had expected. The flavor was bland. Definitely worth a try. Several lacto ovo vegetarian options. The usual problems w parking in the city s downtown.

Very very good.

Food and service were good. Nothing mind blowing but solid food and nice atmosphere.

Really good vegan food!

Everything about this place was great. The food the vibe the music atmosphere and staff.

Great food, reasonable prices, super cute place to dine! All the staff was really friendly and helpful. Loved it!

Good food and atmosphere. Just the right mix of flavor and spice. Vegetarian options: All items can be su substituted with tofu or no protein. Lots of choices Food : 5/5 |

Vegan options! Delicious!

Nice place, outstanding customer service, and great food!

Delicious food and good vibes

The cutest restaurant ever. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. Our waitress, Courtney, was so amazing and sweet. The food came out so fast and was literally so good. Couldn t have asked for a better experience :)

I absolutely love this restaurant. Im actually eating here for the second night in a row right now, and Im enjoying every bite. Its hard to find something different but this place does it well. I will be back.

Four of us went for lunch. Two of us disliked our entrees, one of us said it was fine, and one of us loved her order. I was one who didn t care for it. I d ordered the pho. Anyone who loves pho will not like this pho. It s pho , not pho. It had a strange sweet flavor to it, for one, but also, the spices were off. I can t recommend it. I offered it to my husband who agreed that it wasn t good. I d ordered it based on reviews saying it was delicious. Maybe to someone who doesn t know what pho is supposed to taste like, but not to someone who knows and loves pho. My husband had the dan dan noodles and didn t care for them. A friend had a salad and it was fresh, but boring. The sauce that came with it was Thai inspired, but far too sweet. Well, either too sweet, or just lacking in flavor so sweetness was the main flavor. Another friend ordered the poke bowl and loved it. She said the salmon was creamy and the veggies were very fresh. I will say that everything seemed exceptionally fresh, but there just isn t enough flavor in anything I tried. It was like international cuisine for former raw vegans who now enjoy the occasional shrimp. Speaking of shrimp, I ordered shrimp on my appetizer and it was just an unflavored naked shrimp. All of this might sound good to some, but my palate is way past this kind of thing. They could easily tweak a few things and be really good though. I hope they will.

It was ok. Food was hit or miss. We don t understand the superlative 5 star reviews. Things could generally use more flavor. We both thought the pho broth was not good at all. The broth could have been more flavorful. Really you have to get pho from a dedicated Vietnamese place where they cook it all day, not a multicultural pan Asian jack-of-all-trades place. The wings were good, nice and crispy though we wished they had more Vietnamese flavor. My dining partner loved the salmon poke bowl (generous amount of salmon). They loved the ramen, though to me it tasted like miso soup.

Food and drinks were excellent! Friendly / helpful staff. Highly recommend.

Eat here!!! Great atmosphere, fast service, great staff! I love the creative non-alcoholic drinks. I had the Laksa Curry and OMG I could not be happier!! Definitely will be back- I need to try moreeeee

We weren t planning on a sit down meal, but looking for more than fast food we came upon this excellent place. We ve lived on Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore so have an appreciation of SEAsian cuisine. This was excellent. Laksa was as good as you can get outside the region.

This place is really cute. If you have ever been to the to the other side of the world, this place truly reminds you of it. Atleast it did for my husband and I. We ate pok pok wings, lemongrass soup, and pineapple stir fry. All were delicious! The drinks were awesome too. They had exotic mocktails and different cocktails than any other restaurant we had ever been to. The waitress was very sweet and everyone was pleasant there. It was also very affordable. I highly recommend going here for dinner!

Service, location, and drinks were amazing! Indonesian fried rice unfortunately fell flat with so much rice and very few veggies, nothing special. Definitely worth a try as other dishes looked amazing!

Tom Kah hot pot soup was delicious and HUGE! Singapore noodles were so good. Everyone in the party enjoyed their food. The mocktails were a big hit for the others. Service was great with helpful recommendations.

Such delicious food for a good price! Loved the vegetarian gyoza.

Phenomenal. Ate here with three well-behaved kids at five-thirty on a weekday. Huge portions of show-stopping food! Quick, friendly, patient service. There wasnt a dish on the table (and we all got something different) that wasnt stellar, also enormous. We walked out stunned with food, and I thought my twelve-year-old was going to collapse into his spicy ramen. Took half of it home. We will now become regulars and eat our way through the menu. Not to be missed. There is absolutely no reason to settle for mediocre food when you can be eating at this place. Vegetarian options: clearly labeled Wheelchair accessibility: easy to access

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!

Such an awesome little spot. We are pescatarian and they have so many delicious choices. The cauliflower appetizer is a must try. They also have really great non alcoholic mock tails that are festive and fun. (Alcoholic drinks and wine also too of course ). The service and atmosphere are spot on every time- highly recommend!!

Great experience here at Native Plate. One of the more underrated restaurants in RVA imo. Food is very flavorful, the ambiance in the restaurant is great and the wait staff is super friendly as well. I got the bulgogi BBQ with tofu which was fantastic. We had the cauliflower appetizer to start which wasn t our favorite, but still a good dish and solid portion to share. They have a variety of different dishes so everyone on the menu can get something they like.

I dont usually do reviews, but I was really let down by the food here. Ive had lots of Phó from lots of places and I know what its supposed to taste like. I ordered the chicken Phó with a drink and some rice paper rolls. The drink and rolls were great, no complaints. But I called and asked beforehand if there was any fish sauce in the broth they use (my partner has a fish allergy and I wanted to know if he could try some), and the kitchen confirmed that there was some fish sauce in it. I was expecting a chicken or beef base Phó with a little fish sauce in it, what I got I can only describe as fish soup. It was really surprisingly fishy, like it was not intended to be that strong. I like fishy stuff, but this was so strong I couldnt actually enjoy it. I dont know if there was a mistake or what happened, but it really ruined my dinner. Ill have to go back and try other items on the menu, and maybe Ill update my review, but for now this place is a no go for me.

Great ambiance and delicious food. Cocktails were especially delightful and creative. Fantastic service. Vegetarian options: As a vegetarian, I had multiple options for entrees and appetizers.

Great flavor profiles. Just need to work on not over cooking the proteins. Definitely a place to try. Food : 4/5

Poke bowl was delish

Always make a point to eat here when I travel to RVA. Great food, clean restaurant, and friendly waitstaff.

Amazing food and ambiance!

The food and the atmosphere here is delightful. The cocktails were really tasty and affordable. I have a seafood allergy and I felt very safe eating here. Service was attentive and made good food suggestions.

Really nice decor and vibe, great drinks (and good selection of mocktails as well), delicious food. Giving 4 stars just because I wish they had more options for vegetarians, but otherwise highly recommend.

This place is amazing. The Singapore Noodles with extra inhouse sambal sauce is one of the best dishes I have had in my life. We always have a great experience every time we go here. Definitely go out of your way to eat at Native Plate. You will not regret it.

I was in Richmond for a day and on my way back from exploring the Virginia State House, I came across Native Plate. I loved the vibe and the food was absolutely incredible. I had the pineapple stir fry with shrimp and coconut rice. I ate the entire meal and didnt want it to end. Highly recommended!

The food service and atmosphere were better than I had heard, beat my expectations

My husband dined here with a co-worker recently during the week and thoroughly enjoyed it. He was so excited to bring me here on a Saturday late afternoon. It was bizarre! We were totally ignored! We ordered drinks at the bar and then sat down at our table. We spent 5 mins deciding on our food and then sat around waiting for another 15/20mins. The restaurant had 4 other guests. The staff swanned around, nobody pouring our drinks or coming to take our food orders. We got up and left! We were confused and insulted at this absolute neglection!

Incredible pho in an unlikely place .... Star of the show is the paper thin sliced red onions served with it .. along with the other fixins. Must see .. must taste

Very fresh and delicious! I loved my poke bowl with tofu. Fantastic sauces and high quality ingredients.

Great food. Was worried that our children wouldnt eat anything but they let us order noodles off menu to satisfy the children. Which was clutch. Beer menu was great with a wide variety. We order the katsu curry (amazing), the shrimp pineapple stir fry (incredible), the duck bao buns (OMG), and the steak Bulgogi (fantastic). I almost forgot the wings! These bad boys were so tender and juicy, the meat basically fell off the bone. But at the same time the crust was crispy and delicious. Service was good and they moved tables around to accommodate out larger party. Highly recommend

Love the atmosphere. Food was decent. Service was weird and slow. Food came out faster than the drinks. My friend ordered Titos and olives, she got Titos with a lime. We pointed out that it needed olives. They took it away and brought it back to our table again with no olives. Our server also had a mask on but had it barely covering his mouth, not his nose at all, which I find so strange. Theyre not required, so if youre wearing one, why not wear it right?

Just plain rude.

Loved the space, the service and delicious food! We had Duck Bao Buns with taro chips and the Buttermilk Chicken Banh Mi with crispy fries. Delicious! Perfectly pillowy boa buns and crispy, crunchy fries. Do yourself a favor and go.

This was a great experience. Our mixologist Caleb exhibited his extensive knowledge in a wonderful and welcoming way as he mixed our drink selections to perfection. Each entree we ordered was prepared with care and great attention to taste and presentation. We will be back! Thanks!

I recently dined at Native Plate in Richmond, VA and had a fantastic experience. I ordered the salmon, which was cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. But what really made the night special was the exceptional service we received from Caleb, our bartender. Caleb was attentive and friendly, and he had several great bourbon recommendations for me to try. He really went out of his way to make sure we had a memorable dining experience. His knowledge of the menu and drinks was impressive, and his recommendations were spot-on. Overall, I highly recommend Native Plate and specifically Caleb for their outstanding service and delicious food. If youre looking for a great restaurant in Richmond, dont miss out on this gem. Thank you, Caleb and Native Plate, for a wonderful evening.

Amazing, taste good, healthy, I loved it!!! Salmon poke bowl was amazing!!!! I will be back!!!

We are from out of town. The Native Plate was such a pleasant surprise! It was right around the corner from our hotel. We were only there for a few days and ate their twice. The staff is super friendly. I loved the Singapore Noodles! We will be back the next time we are in Richmond.

Very nice service, small but varied menu, everyone will find something. We had salmon with rice and brokoli - very good. Various beers on draft are great.

very nice place and delicious food!

The suntory old fashioned I had last night was probably the best old fashioned Ive ever had. I didnt get the bartenders name, but hes doing a fantastic job

Food was delicious, made fresh, and delivered to the table piping hot. Singapore Noodles were terrific and the side of chili sauce was a flavor bomb. This place is a vibe! Vegetarian options: Restaurant happy to sub out the fish or pork for tofu.

The best newer restaurant in Richmond. The food couldnt be any better and the cocktails are incredible and dont focus on crazy mixology that ends up in an expensive drink that tastes awful. If you are near this area this is a must visit location!

Great food, great service, good price, we got appeti,ers, drinks and dinner Parking: Downton...theres parking but itll take a minute Food : 5/5 |

I really liked this dish. Well served.

Asian food staples with many vegan and GF options, there is something for everyone on the menu. Really surprised on the quality of food, everything was delicious. Best Pineapple Stir Fry in RVA

Great drinks, apps, and entrees! Service was excellent and loved the atmosphere.

Overpriced. Ridiculously. Good is not authentic. Waiters are entitled.

Just had dinner at this location. Its a great place to eat, big food portions and great service.

Dumplings were fine, but octopus salad was subpar at best. Probably wouldnt have even written a review if it hadnt been so expensive as well (and more expensive than the online menu that is apparently out of date).

Average food Average service Food

Awesome food! We ve eaten hear a bunch even with the kids and we all love it

Great menu, great service, great dinner!

Fast service, tasty options

The food was amazing and the staff was super friendly and courteous. The prices were very reasonable. Definitely recommend a visit if your are in Richmond VA area!

Got the tofu BBQ bulgogi and it was great. Service was also amazing

Native Plate serves fresh delicious food in a cozy atmosphere. They serve great drinks, too. The staff are easy going, helpful, and responsive. A favorite on Main St! Vegetarian options: Multiple dishes have meatless and tofu options.

Had the chicken hibachi bowl for lunch. Fresh food and tasty.

Amazing food and great service even when they are busy. The lunch hibachi is my favorite.

Such a cool vibe inside! Love the decor and coziness. Food was 10/10 and I would definitely go back. The service was attentive and understanding. We got the Dan Dan Noodles and Fried Chicken Bahn Mi sandwich. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options Parking: Right downtown so you need to drive around a bit to find parking Kid-friendliness: Not super kid friendly imo Wheelchair accessibility: Not good for those in wheelchairs. Small dining room with tight space.

Delicious fresh food, lots of vegetarian options. Beautiful atmosphere and decor, service was consistent goodness. Fried cauliflower is like nothing I ve ever had, amazing each time! Got the smoked salmon and broccoli last night and it was .

Great food.

Very tasty food. Great service. Nice place.

The food and service are all 5 star here !

Native Plate is delicious! We started with mocktails and the rice paper rolls. I got the Indonesian fried rice with tofu and shared the peanut salad with my husband. It was a great combo! Lots of GF and vegetarian options! I m still dreaming about the vegetarian rice paper rolls!

Great spot with delicious food and drinks. Very friendly and prompt service. Highly recommend.

Food and service were outstanding. Highly recommend!

Never had a bad experience here. Amazing food and service.

The food was awesome! We had the Ahi Tuna, grilled octopus, edamame, steak bulgogi, Singapore noodles and katsu chicken. The steak bulgogi needs a special mention. The drinks were superb. Unless you have an absolute favorite drink tell him what type of a drink you like and have him surprise you, our drinks were superb. The service and the atmosphere were fab! Highly recommend Native Plate!

Cool, trendy vibe, with a modern edge. The food was gorgeous-fresh, amazing curry and panko chicken perfectly done. The house tempranillo was very good. Everything served by a Ganymede making one forget ones promise to his own youth. Highly recommended.

Dan Dan Noodle was delicious!

Fantastic place! Authentic variety of Asian cuisines - from Chinese to Indian to Indonesian to Vietnamese. And a great choice of drinks too (Singha beer was on tap when I was there). Friendly, efficient staff. My future go-to place when I m in Richmond. (If I lived here they d see my custom almost every day!)

Overall great experience. Food and drinks are really good

Food is great but service is terrible. There are some good servers, but the arrogant bar staff drives business away. Whoever is in charge of hiring/staff should truly take a moment to do their due diligence to ensure that the staff doesn t chase away their clientele. Bartender with the mullet needs to do better.

Exactly what we were looking for after a long, hot day on the road. The variety of dishes, delicious craft cocktails, and boho decor made it such a pleasant experience. The staff was on the ball, kind and attentive. Great find in the middle of downtown! Cant wait to come back again.

Beautiful location, very fresh and delicious food, accommodating staff. I got the Pho and rice paper rolls, and it was honestly the best Pho I ve had in a while. Would definitely recommend!

Ten outta ten, outstanding service, apps, entrees, and cocktails.

In 1 word AMAZING!!! Ive visited several times and the customer service, food selection never fails. The restaurant is small but very pleasant and very clean. Vegetarian options: They offer a nice variety of delicious vegetarian dishes. Dietary restrictions: They offer a nice selection of dietary items. Parking: I walked to the restaurant from my job but there are meters in front of the restaurant and there is a paid parking lot about a 3 minute walk away. Wheelchair accessibility: There is a wheel chair ramp and inside the restaurant its wide enough to accommodate all.

The Native Plate is an interesting fusion restaurant that offers dishes inspired from around the world. I had the calamari as an appetizer, and it was the best version of calamari Ive had in Richmond. My main dish was Beef Bulgogi. Although Bulgogi is a traditional Korean dish, this has more of a Japanese flair and was closer to a teriyaki beef dish. It was delicious.

Amazing food and fast service. I would recommend their fried rice.

This is the most mediocre fusion place I have ever gotten takeout from. Its just basic food. The dan dan noodles tasted like spaghetti with ground beef and someone sprinkled crushed peanuts on top and was like hey this is FUSION. The presentation is nice. The fried rice was so flat, I couldnt the difference between where the dan dan stopped and the rice started. They both smelled the same. The wings were good but how hard is it to fry wings and to toss in sweet chili sauce? Its basically P.F Changs

Closed sign was up at 9:10 pm despite hours online saying open till 10pm

The food and drinks were so good. Very vegan friendly! And our server/bartender was so kind and gave us some good pointers. Will absolutely be becoming a regular here. Thank you for a very cute lunch date.

The food was great; however, I was missing part of my to-go order: steamed rice. Therefore, I felt slighted as this was not a cheap lunch. Moving forward, I now know I must check the contents before leaving.

I loved the Singapore noodles

Loved their beef hibachi lunch. It really hit the spot. Restaurant was clean and had very friendly wait staff. You will have to be able to parallel park in order to park nearby. I recommend it.

Ambiance was great. Food and drinks were great. And Miya steered us to the best menu choices with amazing guidance. Highly recommend.

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.

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.

Great food and awesome atmosphere!

Best fried chicken sandwich ever. Period. Oh, and cocktails served in smoked glasses. Amazing!

Cozy place. Nice atmosphere. Asian inspired food; however, none of my dishes was particularly tasty or even interesting. Gochujang sauce didn t blend well with cauliflower. What s called a Korean bulgogi sauce tastes drab and not close to the original. The rice was far too moist even for a short grain-perhaps this was the original sin. Good whisky selection. Meh. Middle of the road.

We had a lovely stay at Native Place, our server gave us a lot of friendly suggestions about drinks and dinner - and we can all say that we were more than delighted afterwards!

Have thus far tried the chicken vermicelli salad, hot miso Ramen, and the salmon poke bowl. And have loved every single dish. Native plate has become my favorite lunch spot!

Better than any meal that I had while at Hilton Head recently. Peanut dressing side salad was delicious with warmed up peanut dressing. Pineapple stir fry with shrimp was fabulous. I went there craving Szechuan chicken. Will be a regular weekly stop when working downtown.

Solid, wonderful menu and fun vibe.

Our first time here was a delicious sit-down meal with friends a couple of months ago. I ordered lunch to go today. Was terrible - SZECHUAN Chicken with fried rice. 1. The fried rice had NO flavor, was dry, and had big pieces of peppercorns in it. Random and off putting. I had to add soy sauce and re-stir fry it at home to make it eatable. 2. The SZECHUAN was loaded with peppers and 4 small pieces of fried chicken. (think Chick-fil-a nuggets). For a $20 dollar lunch, I think I should have gotten more than 4 small chunks of chicken. There was no sauce and the mixture as a whole was dry. 3. Ordered a side of chili oil. Got a container filled with dry red pepper flakes. Wont be eating there again.

Great food and service, nice spot for a drink or dinner

Great menu options, nice decor and atmosphere. Duck buns and Dan Dan noodles are both excellent.

Excellent little restaurant downtown Richmond. Loved the menu, too many great options to choose from. Got the Duck Bao buns, they were delicious

Food was so flavorful. Delicious. Will be back

Only been here once before but the food and drinks were both really great. Looking forward to going back.

Popped in for some lunch. We had it as take out but wish we stayed. It smelled amazing when we walked in an the atmosphere was really nice. Had a very local vibe. We were well looked after while we waited for our food and made to few very welcome.

Great first experience here where I ordered the Curry Laksa - very well done, and Im particular about my thai food restaurants

Really nice change in cuisine in an area of wings and burgers. Cute and quaint spot for a date, a small group gathering, a work lunch, etc. Great plant based options!

Great food, service and atmosphere!! Really enjoyed our lunch here and the healthy options.

The ramen ordered had undercooked noodles. And the Dan Dan noodles had overcooked noodles. Nothing was very authentic tasting. The inside was very cute. The server was very nice.

The ambience is pretty much the only thing good here. the service is OK at best. Its a semi-casual spot, so I ignored the lackluster service. ( I have been a server for about a decade and I am pretty lax when it comes to service standards, but this place could use some work). This is the second time I have been here. the first time the food was, for me, pretty good, I got the salmon poke bowl. My boyfriend got the dan dan noodles he did not enjoy it at all. We both decided it wasnt worth the money for either dish, and havent been back since. BUT I love the look of this place, it is so cute inside! And I love asian fusion food. I WANT to LOVE this place. I live close so I decided to give it another go last night. This time, I got the Singapore noodles. I am a TRUE foodie, but I rarely treat myself to a meal out, so this was something I was really excited for! I will eat almost anything and I am truly not picky and have never EVER sent my food back. which I still did not do this night, but I sincerely barely touched my meal. which, is unheard of for me, ya girl can eat. After trying it (think spaghetti thats been cooked and then left out for too long, mixed with straight up curry powder and a few veggies and shrimp, just very dry, pretty bland, and lukewarm at BEST), telling my friend to try it who also, did not enjoy it at all, I ate the few shrimp, and set it aside. when she arrived I admit, I did not as the customer make my issues blatant, because I hate giving servers a hard time, so I just said everything is fine, and after all its not here fault the food was terrible nor did I want to wait for a different dish should they choose to offer that if I did complain at that time. But when she came to take our dishes away (mine still completely full of food, barely eaten, and declining to take a box with me), she didnt say anything like, just checking, was something wrong? everything okay? idk I just know that if I was in her shoes, along with many of the servers that I have worked with, we wouldve done something about it. made sure everything was OK... maybe the person was just full and traveling so didnt want to take leftovers, or make it right, because if she had asked me at that point I wouldve definitely said that this meal was very disappointing. I paid full price and tipped 18%, and was out of there. Overall its a cute place to get drinks with a friend or on a date but dont waste your money on the food.

Great food and excellent service!

Ate lunch here recently. Everything was top notch - greeted and seated promptly, wait staff was friendly and attentive, menu was easy to read and featured fresh ingredients. I really enjoyed watching the chef prepare the food. Would definitely eat here again.

Good food and service

Not only was the food and service PERFECT, but they saved the day (June Bug the server) and put out an engine fire of a classic Porsche right in front of the restaurant! While our server was getting a situated, he was also helping the gentleman who was having a really hard evening outside with his car- the definition of being of service. We were met with a really warm welcome. The food recommendations were SPOT ON- absolutely can t beat the selection. We saw multiple dishes on the menu that we will be going back to try. My only regret was not finding this gemstone sooner. It was the perfect date night for my husband and I. Can t wait to go back.

The food was really delicious. I had the Bulgogi and the sauce was a little too much for me, so a little more rice would have been better. But overall a nice experience with good food and a lovely staff.

The menu is great, food is delicious, the stuff is friendly except one guy who seemed not to care about the customers other than bringing the food and check. But I give four stars because they hadn t updated their opening hours during 4th of July on google. I went there twice in two different days, and the restaurant was closed when google said that they were open. Please update your opening time. You would do a great favor to your loyal customers.

This place isnt bad, but it really missed the mark for me and I left feeling unsatisfied. The calamari was not good, and the bao buns were not fresh. The appetizers were lackluster. We got the crawfish and chicken appetizer and it barely had any flavor. Overall, I wouldnt recommend this place to others and I wouldnt return. I loved the taro chips though!

They taste the food! Unique but approachable! Not over done for hype! Great place and they care. Worthy of the spot to check out.

Very good food, price and service.

Ate there last night. All the food was good except the steak. The person inour party that had steak saw it again in the morning.

The food was delicious. There were many things that seemed appetizing on the menu, so we each had different entrées and shared the calamari appetizer. All had no complaints and were satisfied. Entrees were the octopus salad, Nasi Goreng, and Polynesian Pineapple stir fry w/shrimp.

What did I just experience wow . One of my favorite restaurants in Richmond. Been traveling for a year here and this is my top 3. Not to mention they have the best drinks in town and great service. I ll be back again and again .

First time visit. Great atmosphere. Food was hot and delish. Service was good a little slow but they were packed, all tables and bar. The truffle fries were awesome! If you want a solid drink this is the place. I dont know our bartenders name but she was excellent. We were there on Tuesday night.

I love love love this place! The food is amazing and the vibe is on point. I met the owner when I dined there and she was such a warm, kind person. I would recommend this restaurant not only for the great food, but for a chance to support a great local business. Very kind staff, great job. We appreciate you bringing such a wonderful experience to Richmond. Thank you 10 stars

Cool vibes, friendly staff. Food was not my personal favorite but I did get take out so could be better for dine in!

the best food I have ever had

Love this place! The pho is on point! We walk there from our office. It is a smaller place so there might be a wait, but its worth it.

Other than high wait times, theres absolutely nothing i would complain about this lovelu place. Everything was tasty, waiting may it worth

I initially LOVED this restaurant. I came here twice with my partner and enjoyed the meals. However, I have to change my review. I ordered take out and the service was not friendly and the food was cold. Not only was the food cold, it was not very good.

Mediocre American Chinese food.

Just great. Great food. Great ambience. Great service.

I love the Native Plate! The food tastes fresh and delicious and the cocktails are great. Sometimes the service is a little slow, but its never been upsettingly so.

This was a first time try for us and we loved it , Singapore noodles + duck boa buns were both amazing!! Can t wait for our next visit to try some of the fabulous drinks !

Friendly staff, very fast kitchen and great taste. Thank you for that.

The food was decent, but the Pok Pok Wings were definitely missing something. Ive had Vietnamese Fish Sauce Chicken wings all over the country, but these ones were different. They werent crunchy like I hoped they would be. The Shrimp Fried rice was also missing something, not exactly sure what the thing is but when I figure it out Ill update this post.

First time visit, really great atmosphere and space. Staff were chill and welcoming. Had the hibachi bowl with chicken and it was 10/10, plenty of food!

Staff was kind and very polite and the food was amazing. Ordered the Bulgogi BBQ, to die for! Such a lovely restaurant too!. Very bright and well decorated.

Native Plate is a delicious, cute restaurant in the city. The food is amazing! Everything Ive ever tried there is the best and the decor is beautiful!

Everything I go I try something new and have loved everything I have gotten.

Wonderful place - the ambiance is classy yet fun and upbeat, the service is fantastic, and the food is incredible! I love that it s not super salty like many establishments.

I enjoyed the Singapore noodles and the Gyoza. Everything was good. Also great bar and atmosphere.

The food, drinks, and atmosphere at this restaurant are fantastic! My husband and I come here every time were in Richmond! Its a date night must!

Highly recommended. We just tried Native Plate for the first time in the food was very good with very reasonable prices. Sczechuan Chicken was excellent as were the vermicelli noodle lunch plate with chicken. Great place to grab a lunch in downtown Richmond.

This is a must go to when in Richmond or if you live here! Native plate has one of those smells that as soon as you walk in, you can tell you re about to experience some great flavors. Sat at the bar and not only enjoyed the delicious Suntory Old Fashioned, but enjoyed watching the bartender make everyone else s drinks as well. Don t be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone away from your normal drink and order from the cocktail list - you can t go wrong! The cauliflower and the curry were perfectly spiced, definitely have some heat to them, but well-balanced. They do everything right here - check them out!

Stopped by for lunch and had a wonderful meal. I had the Bulgogi made with tofu and my wife had the Poke Bowl also with tofu. The flavors and portions were perfect. And the service was outstanding. Cant wait to come back. Vegetarian options: Most items, even those typically not vegetarian, had a tofu option!!!

The Best taste of food in long time. I am from Florida visiting the Capitol, few blocks from there, walking distance and love it love it! I went with my kids and again the food is a10+. Fresh, Exquisite, delicate and made almost Infront of us, taste delicious as the fresh lemonade!!! I believe is a family owned and very friendly and sweet. Service excellent!

The food here is a mouth watery orgasm. I literally could not control myself from gorging down gross amount of delicious food. Its a heart attack if pleasure waiting to happen. I implore you to go try this place out. Its a delicious experience. They got something for everyone who visits. Vegetarian options: Just ask. Dietary restrictions: Just ask

The BEST! Go there immediately. Freshest, tastiest food. Im upset she doesnt have a restaurant in South Florida, as I would be there on the daily. Also conveniently located two blocks from the capitol.

Nice place, dishes are tasty. Soup was really tasty. But I felt main course quantities are less, so seemed slightly overpriced.

Food was okay, but didn t really pop . Nothing to write home about

Fantastic food, super friendly staff, and a terrific environment chill, hip, and fun all at the same time. Who knew such a vibe still existed in 2022? The gochujang cauliflower is a favorite for sure. The salads are surprisingly tasty too. But you really can t go wrong across the menu, it s an excellent range of options, all tasty. I haven t had the chance to sample their beer or spirits, but it looks like a solid collection. You won t be disappointed!

Yesterday, I went in for lunch for the first time. I had the Pho with the meatballs and it was absolutely wonderful. Its definitely better than a lot of native places Ive been to and its up there with my moms authentic pho that shes made me my entire life. The broth was flavorful, the meat was cooked perfectly, the noodles werent too soft or too hard. I really enjoyed that meal and will have to come back for more! Vegetarian options: There seems to be plenty vegetarian options on the menu, I didnt get anything vegetarian though. Dietary restrictions: They say on their menu whether something was gluten free or not. My pho was gluten free! Parking: Theres only street parking in the area and it can get busy at times, so you better be prepared to parallel park. Kid-friendliness: Its definitely kid-friendly. Wheelchair accessibility: Theres a wheelchair ramp in the front.

Amazing Asian food. You will not be disappointed.

Cant stay away

OMG!!! This place! I loved everything about it... the food was AMAZING, staff are super friendly, prices were reasonable, it was clean and beautifully decorated. I cant wait to try everything on the menu.
