50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Tempe

“First time here & first time trying vegan! Soooo good!“

“Chef Krystal makes amazing magical plates — comfort food with scratch-kitchen freshness, just the right “mouth feel” (crunchy or textured etc), also healthy and delicious. You should definitely order extra servings and bring Early Bird Vegan to potlucks, office parties, family events, and serve it to nonvegans who would have no idea it’s vegan unless they saw the name (I have done so— and even cheese-addicted “vegetarians” (yeah… they need to evolve) are supremely happy with Early Bird Vegan food)!“

“My partner and i got to go on a date for the first time in 3 years (since our 3rd kid). Went to Loving Hut Southern and had some delicious spicy noodle soup with tofu ("white people spicy". But still delicious.) And some fresh spring rolls. My partner had some vegan mac and cheese which was also delicious (i had a bite). Finished it off with a delicious vegan carrot cake. 😋 I think the best word to describe this food is delicious! Lol but seriously, come hungry! PS. as a trans woman I was treated like any other customer and wasn't bothered one bit.“

“A little overpriced but kid friendly and great hibachi grill good :)“

“The food was delicious. A huge bonus is that many of their dishes are gluten free.“

“The girl working here was truly friendly. There were a lot of options for vegetables to add to my salad. The smoked eggplant and spiced carrots were particularly good. Several different flavors of hummus which are all delicious, lots of cold veggies for topping and a nice array of sauces as well! The portions were generous, great price, yummy fresh food!“

“Not only amazing cookies, but amazing service. I appreciate when I go in and they recommend the best cookie that day based on how it turns out overall. All cookies are amazing, but even better when the staff is willing to say we got this one just perfect today, you have to try it. Shows how much they truly care! Got home and I’d say all 4 had been perfect today!“

“We are in town from Washington and have nothing but great things to say about Thirsty Lion. We went in for happy hour and bought 5 appetizers ( fried spicy cauliflower was our fav) . Multiple drinks. The waitress Karlie was a huge highlight of our visit, very friendly and knowledgeable. Never an empty drink or dirty plate on the table. You could tell she enjoys her job. We will be back whenever we are in town.“

“Excellent dinner! I have Celiac Disease and had no problem requesting fried rice as they have gluten free soy sauce! The meal and server were very accommodating and knowledgeable. The food was outstanding!“

“Love this place so much. The food is authentic, and the staff is super friendly. The sushi is fresh and amazing, and even better when you save a few bucks on happy hour. The Izakaya menu is delicious and you definitely should get a few to share. If you’re a ramen lover, this is the spot - some of the best I’ve had outside Japan!“

“Food was fantastic - service was great“

“absolutely incredible pizza dough, pizza dough maker is a true artist, will definitely be coming back! thank you!“

“Stopped in today for our first visit. Food was amazing. Everything was fresh and delicious. Will definitely be back!! I recommend their pastrami bang/bang burger!!“

“My friend is in town and she has celiac so we were trying to find a good place for her to have variety. We found a recommendation for this place on a gluten-free page. To say the food was amazing is an understatement. I was shocked at how gluten friendly they are, even to the point of having a dedicated oven for the gluten-free pizza us. My friend was overwhelmed with all the amazing options, and absolutely loved that she could pick whatever she wanted. We had the focaccia bread, the bacon, mac & cheese, and the fungi Florentine pizza. Dessert we tried the apple crisp and the tiramisu, both are which are gluten-free. The food was incredible. We will definitely be back.“

“Ethiopian Famous Restaurant serves some of the most delicious food I’ve ever tasted — and I’m from Washington D.C., where we have incredible Middle Eastern and Ethiopian restaurants.

We usually order the Nandi Chicken and Lamb — always excellent, perfectly seasoned, and high-quality meat. Last Sunday evening we tried the lamb stew and it was superb.

The owner is so kind, as are her children. We’ve been coming here since before the renovation, and it remains warm, welcoming, and beautifully decorated with authentic craftsmanship.

This is truly our favorite restaurant. Phenomenal food and wonderful people.
I recommend everyone visit this restaurant at least once. I'm hooked. Delicious mouth watering food! 5 star's.“

“I love going to the Cornish Pasty Co any chance I get. It was a favorite when I lived in the East Valley. All of the pasties are delicious. But make sure to save room for the caramel apple pasty, I promise you won't regret it! I only disappointment is that they don't have a far West Valley location. I miss them living in Surprise.“

“Tasty food & best service! Pastries - made by Abu Abdo, are super delicious and the service is AMAZING!!!!!“

“This is our favorite pizza amd wings spot in Arizona! We love the ingredients, which we do buy at the grocery store as well because we love it. We typically order the Strawberry Gorgonzola salad, plain wings, and a large meatball pizza. Our children love this place too. We order a large pizza because you can save the pizza for leftovers and it is still great. Drinks.and cocktails are all winners just depends on your taste. Atmosphere is crowded but there's a reason - the food and service a spot on! Make reservations on Friday and Saturday nights otherwise you will regret not doing so. Its a hotspot! The bar area is nice too. We like to go to the one in Tempe, AZ (Rio Solado Pkwy) great service friendly workers. They work hard and are professional 👏 👌“

“I showed up with my friends all in costume for the Alice in Wonderland tea time - they had gluten free treats , fun decor and we had a great outing with lots of Instagram worthy picture spots“

“The best sushi I’ve ever had. The appetizers are so unique and an incredible burst of flavor in your mouth with Every. Single. Bite. I highly recommend the itchy sea bass, shishito peppers, and the beef hot rock! Holy shizzzzz you will not be disappointed! Make sure to keep the extra sauce from the peppers to dip literally any roll they have in because they are all out of this world! It’s almost not “sushi” with how each roll takes your taste buds for a perfectly balanced ride of holy crap flavor, punch, smooth, mmm mmm mmhmmmm! Take your friends, take your date, take your mom. Everyone will love this and remember this experience forever. 🥹“

“Staying at a hotel nearby for a work conference, and Ike’s was one of the recommended spots. SO GOOD! The number of options is a little overwhelming, so I just went with the Ike’s Rueben, and it did not disappoint. If I lived here, I would 100% try everything on the menu. They even have halal chicken.

Bonus points for the walkability of the area.“

“Near ASU, a college town eatery. Came in for lunch, visiting from out of town. Tasty sandwiches served on a toasted soft roll. Potato salad in individual serving, good taste. Very friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere good vibes. An inside outside bar seating area. Give it a try.“
