House of Flavor in Bayonne, NJ has tasty high quality Latin inspired 100% vegan food. In addition to Dominican chofan, empananadas, and tostones they also have standard American fair alternatives such as burgers, chik'n parm, and mac n cheese.
We had a chance to sit down with the owners to get to know a little about their journey in the restaurant before customers arrived for the day.
I was fortunate to be able to try some of the food. I sampled their top seller for them, Chofan Dominicano.
Its a Dominican fried rice dish with onions, peppers, plantain, vegan chik'n bites, and a special sauce. It was absolutely delicious! I see why its a top choice for customers. Its packed with flavor and texture from all the fresh ingredients.

I also tried a cheese and beef empanadas. Of course these are all vegan but I don't know if you could truly tell. As a non vegan the taste is very close and authentic to what I'm use to.
Next was a cauliflower bite that mimics Buffalo wings or nuggets. It was very good and you could taste the cauliflower bursting with flavor. They coated it well in a batter and house sauce they doesn't overpower the true cauliflower taste and compliments the texture well.
Finally was a vegan carrot cake for dessert. Again, the taste is authentic and just like a non vegan version. It wasn't too sweet and was very fresh.
Overall, I was very pleased and brought some home to the family to try. Everyone loved it! We will definitely be back to try more.
House of Flavor is a hit. They have a very comprehensive vegan menu to satisfy just about everyone, vegan, vegan-ish like me, or carnivores. Eating better has never been easier and I'm glad to see a restaurant like this not far from home.
If you're in the Bayonne/Jersey City area you should stop by to grab a bite and tell them Jason sent you.
