50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Alameda

“Had a wonderful beautiful birthday for my EX❤️ The Staff was absolutely wonderful and the bartender was awesome and spoke Italian. The service was outstanding.“

“Thrilled to have a one-stop Indian store in Alameda! I'm so excited to have discovered a comprehensive Indian store in Alameda, conveniently stocked with all the essentials we need.

The store offers an impressive range of food options, including delicious home-style North Indian dishes that remind me of authentic flavors. This has been a lifesaver, especially during our kitchen renovation when cooking at home was a challenge.

Previously, we had to travel to Fremont for small items, but now we can find everything we need right here in our own town! Kudos to the store for catering to the local Indian community's needs and providing a welcoming shopping experience. I'm grateful for the convenience and variety they offer, and I look forward to continued patronage.
Only one little suggestion to keep some Indian veggies including curry leaves , green chilies etc“

“Great variety of tasty dishes on the menu and the food was delicious! I loved the “secret” specials - you need to ask to find out what they are. Fun cocktail options. And, all of the dessert options were awesome! My fav was the cheeseburger - YUM! I would definitely go back!“

“food was delicious very pretty presentation warm and professional service by Gretna“

“I WOULD GIVE 6 STARS IF I COULD. As a non native Nigerian, I always seek out Nigerian restaurants when I travel to the larger cities. Usually, something keeps me from giving a five-star review. Sometimes, the service is slow, sometimes the person serving the food is sullen. This place is the exception. The food is good, the seven is quick. The owner, Jahswill, serves you with a smile. The bathroom is clean. Parking was easy. Highly recommended. Will be back.“

“Everything we’ve had here is so delicious!!! Our faves are the Tom Kha soup, BMV platter, Pad Kee Mao, Chicken Satay, and Mango sticky rice dessert…all so very yummy!!!“

“I love this restaurant! I eat here regularly and I'm never disappointed. The service is amazing. Staff are so sweet and attentive, and they always accept changes to dishes for allergies or taste preferences. My dad is celiac and can eat practically everything on the menu here--huge range of gluten free options. I'm vegan and there are also so many delicious dishes I can eat, including their vegan al pastor street tacos (which are to die for) and huevos rancheros. They always accommodate my no dairy preference, even when I order online for takeout. Canasta Kitchen also has outdoor seating, which is so nice when the sun is out. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Wonderful hospitality and warmth coming from the Host Ty Do letting me know more about the Cambodian culture. And BIG Wow on the Sea Food dish: 637. SALMON IN GARLIC BASIL WINE SAUCE : Poached salmon topped w/ roasted garlic, basil, & black mushroom in reduced wine sauce. It's divine! It's my new hot restaurant spot in The Little Town of Alameda.“

“Very good main dish (salmon raviolis in lemon cream sauce) and sides. So many delicious dishes to choose from! The only negative was the blood orange cheesecake. The flavor was excellent, but texture was rubbery, like it had been sitting around awhile. The entire top layer slipped off....“

“Super friendly staff and generous portions! I got the spring rolls with tofu and avocado added and my parter got the tofu and mushroom banh mi (with avocado instead of mayo, since we're both vegan.) Both very delicious. Also wanted to try the spicy seitan sandwich but didn't see it as an option until later – next time!

Dietary restrictions: For vegan options they have tofu offerings, and can sub in avocado instead of mayo. Also a spicy seitan sandwich but not sure if that's going to be a permanent menu item.“

“Great place & cakes!“

“Enjoyed the different meals thoroughly. Have had the Chicken Curry Rice Bowl, the Spicy Chicken Ramen Bowl, Bulgogi, and a few other dishes. Easy to become a repeat customer“

“Really love this place ! Food is delicious! Outdoor dining is refreshing.“

“My family and I hosted a private event at the Alameda Comedy Club to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish! The staff went above and beyond, the food was absolutely delicious, and the owners, Lori and her husband, were incredibly helpful every step of the way.

The club itself is a fantastic venue for private events—intimate, lively, and perfect for creating lasting memories. We couldn’t be more pleased with how everything turned out and are already looking forward to planning another celebration there!“

“The cook came out to chat with us! Yummy food!“

“Great food and service. Nice decor“

“Favorite sandwich in Alameda. Sandwich Board is family owned with fresh roasted Turkey made daily. My favorite sandwiches on the menu are the Roast Turkey Delight and the Susan's Special (Turkey, Bacon, Cranberry, Jack). Mine is cool and the lines get long but he and his team move people through quickly. There’s a few tables outside and parking options include street parking and the lot lot around the corner.“

“Ate there again outside on a beautiful day! The waitress is the best! We had the special of the day, a Veal Bratwurst cooked in an herb and butter sauce. I was using the pretzel (brotzel) to dip into the sauce. It was dreamy! My standard of lox with Potatoe pancakes always makes me smile!“

“I used to come here all the time with a group.. just wanted to drop a kind word. Tahina is absolutely delicious in a fun location. Especially love their lemon chicken soup ( can’t remember what it was called). It’s healthy comfort food. You cannot go wrong. Much love Tahina staff and owners! ❤️❤️❤️“

“My wife and I got our appointment done nearby and we happened upon this hole in the wall. When we stepped inside, I felt as if I left the Bay Area. It was as if I was transported to a small, diverse mountain village and I was visiting the local cafe.

There are no bells and whistles, it was basic coffee and delicious, well made, and fairly priced food. I feel like it's a family owned business and you can feel and taste the care in every bite of breakfast I ate.

We already cannot wait to come here again and try a new item on the menu. This is truly a rustic feeling gem in the area. I've always seen it and I can finally say I ate here and looking forward to having more meals in this establishment.“

“Favorite coffee shop in Alameda! Everything from food, delicious coffee always and their continued support for local artists!“

“Always the best food and best service. May has done a fantastically amazing job of improving an already fantastic offering. Thank you may for the wonderful dining experiences“

“Very good meal, service was great, I'll definitely be back.“

“amazing variety of dim sum. never disappoints“

“First time here and probably last time too. I hella liked how the inside was decorated reminded me of a restaurant in Japan. Kinda disappointed though. I hella love sushi. But the sushi selection was small. Nothing caught my eye. The only thing I did enjoy with my meal was the ikura. The waitress’s don’t even check up on you to see how your doing. We we’re seated all the way in the back. I asked for more water and it never came. And for those 2 reasons I won’t come back.“

“Great view of Coast Guard island !“

“Great location and selection of food and the selection is expanding from what I hear! Kid friendly and a great place to have birthday parties, happy hours, or for any reason. Indoor and outdoor seating options (dog friendly outdoors). They also have lots of TVs for MMA, European, Cricket, and all sports fanatics, inclusive of Baseball, Basketball, and Football! VJ’s also has a FULL COCKTAIL BAR! Great beer selection as well! The owner and his staff are all great. Come by and check out VJ’s! It’s next to the UPS Store at Marina Village.“

“We initially tried to come here on a Friday at 7 PM but there seemed to be a long wait so we decided to check it out on a Wednesday and we only had to wait about 10-15 minutes for a table. This location was originally a Taco Bell, but I love the atmosphere there, friendly, good service and comforting food! It's a cozy place perfect for a cold wintry day to have your own little boiling hot pot of tasty broth and hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals! Hubby ordered the Lau Pork Bone Marrow and I had the Lau Oxtail. I ordered the Oxtail without the tripe, just more oxtail! The hot pot came out boiling with oxtail and beef balls. All I had to do was cook the egg noodles, taro, tofu, cabbage, veggies into the soup as there was plenty of delicious oxtail and meat balls in the delicious broth! Great for a bone chilling night! Next time I'd love to try the shaken beef!“

“What could be better on a rainy autumn day than a bowl of hot and sour soup with udon noodles, crispy pork and more? I loved this place. The food was fresh and delicious and the service was above and beyond attentive. I also loved all the healthy potted plants which gives the Noodle Lover Club a jungle vibe.“

“Don’t miss the green coconut pandan buns. I have no idea what the green stuff is, not the coconut creme filling is great!“

“love it for a afternoon treat w the kiddos“

“One of our go-tos. I’d give them 5 stars but they are kind of weird about the pesto. When you order the pesto, it’s a drizzle topping, not a tomato sauce base replacement. Who would want pesto on top of red sauce? It’s just weird. There’s no way to get a base replacement.

People are very kind. Atmosphere is fantastic,“

“Was looking for a place to eat on my birthday new years day, my stepbro picked it out, he said he ate there 20 yrs ago, I was reluctant as it looked outdated and empty,but I was surprised when the food came in quickly, the staff was friendly and the plates of food were huge! I kept asking my bro if he accidentally ordered family size, nope. We ordered egg rolls, 1 order must have had 10 pieces! Delicious spare ribs, wonton soup, honey walnut prawns (jumbo!) Mongolian beef, they gave us almond cookies instead of fortune, that was a nice change,there was so much food leftover to take home, I'll be going back, I don't know how they can afford to give so much for so little $, very reasonable.the only thing was the place was so cold, we were both freezing. no heat!“

“After reading positive reviews, we decided to try it, and our dining experience was enjoyable overall. The tempura was flavorful, although we felt the batter was slightly thicker than anticipated, overshadowing the vegetable flavors. The sashimi was exceptionally fresh and delightful, particularly the uni and ankimo. While the sashimi omakase was satisfactory, it did not stand out. The service provided by our server was excellent, and there is potential to enhance the overall ambiance for an even more enjoyable dining experience.“

“Food is delicious, especially their signature tea leaf salad!“

“This is the best bagel place in the Bay. I say this with the authority of a lifelong carb-addicted amateur baker growing up in a family that's extremely critical about every bagel ever tasted. Don't think you gotta stand in line for an hour to get overpriced Boychick. The bagels are perfect and the vibe is nailed, this is how a bagel place IS and should be. Always fresh bagels, even if you're not the early bird.“

“This place is like the Chipotle of Vegan food; It's great! I really like it!

However, their prices are bit high for all vegan ingredients when I can get a vegan meal from Chipotle, a few blocks up the street at the shopping center, for $2-3 less.

I hope this place can scale and do well. Do try it out!“

“One of our favorite shops here in the East Bay. We love their açai bowls as much as their smoothies. Everything is organic which is how we like to eat. They also sell lots of conventional snacks, seeing that they're located right next to the high school, like salami, cheese and cracker snack packs, prepackaged deli items like potato and pasta salad, basic premade sandwiches like turkey or ham, and cubed fruit.“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE. seriously, the best salad place I've been to. They load you up with the greens for a reasonable price, and it's delicious! The other things sold there are also delicious, but the salads are on another level. Could not recommend this more.

Vegetarian options: All of the salads can be made vegetarian, and most of the sides and soups are vegetarian.“

“Loved this place! I got the mini egg sandwich with spinach and added turkey. It was delicious and nicely presented. The latte I got was also very tasted. Great atmosphere, really nice service. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a place with good food, coffee, and vibes“

“Delicious and great atmosphere…!“

“Awesome experience and great food.“

“Tasty vegan burrito with tofu and vegetables, generous portions, comes with chips. The burrito does leak a bit due to the tofu and pico de gallo, so you should eat it over a plate and have a fork ready.

Also thank you for having vegan options!! ? Especially within walking distance of the research park - made my day. Will definitely come back!

Vegetarian options: Clearly labeled vegan items

Dietary restrictions: Has vegan options“

“Amazing! Food drinks and views“

“Good place nice people there“

“A true gem in Alameda. Shannon and the staff actually care about the community and the food they serve is nourishing. They also have killer pies and pot pies usually frozen you can take or order. I have worked in food for 25 years and can honestly say what they say they serve is what they serve. No lies no dishonesty. Just good nourishing food at a decent price.“

“Good food, friendly server.“

“my favorite Mexican restaurant. great food, super friendly and consistent. been going here for almost 15 years.“

“Thank you for the great friendly service“
