Joule is a great restaurant in Seattle with awesome vegan and vegetarian options. I loved the rice cake with mushroom substitute, which was really tasty. The summer squash with Sechuan sauce was amazing - the flavors were perfectly balanced and not too overwhelming. Our server Tiger was super helpful and gave great recommendations that made the meal even better. The menu has something for everyone, and I was impressed by how creative the plant-based dishes were. If you're looking for a solid dining experience with good food and friendly service, Joule is definitely worth checking out.
