50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Altadena

“This is an absolute gem. I love them so much. I used to come here all the time when I still lived in the area. Their food is absolutely delicious and so healthy. Their staff are so kind and hardworking. This establishment is doing God's work and I'm so happy to know they're still up and running. I loved all their soups, salads, tofu stir fry, lentil meatloaf, & sandwiches! Def recommend this place to everyone.“

“My wife has the pad kee mao and I had the spicy crispy pork basil. Both were good, but not great.

At some Thai restaurants, the food all tastes the same and it doesn't really matter what you order. That certainly wasn't the case here. Both dishes were different and we enjoyed them. But they weren't spectacular. The flavors didn't pop and they weren't bright. I'm not sure what was missing, but something about them felt... Less than exciting.

I gave it 4 stars and would happily eat there again if I'm in the area. But it's not worth the drive from the intersection of the 10 & 57 freeways.“

“So thankful my husband and I found Little Barn during our visit in LA. The Vegan breakfast sandwiches and drinks we ordered were so dang good and trust, we’re pretty spoiled with Vegan food in the PNW! The workers were incredible nice. Don’t miss out on the area in the back. It’s relaxing and nice to sit down and just forget about the world for a moment while you eat. Highly recommend supporting this coffee house, Vegan or not, it’s worth it!“

“Had a great meal here before a show at the Paramount. My husband had fajitas and I had the potato dish with added rosemary potatoes 🤩. I couldn’t finish mine - very filling but absolutely delicious. The proprietor is welcoming and helpful. We will definitely return and I will make more sensible choices!“

“Excellent deep dish style pizza.“

“I really want to give it five stars and I may come again in the future. The food is great, to be honest, the pork shoulder and mushroom rice is enough.“

“I was in the area and found this gem on the app! It was recommended to have The Flores and is was outstanding. Expertly crafted, full of amazing flavors, great texture, fresh and filling. I also had the potato salad which was also great. Also a large selection of vegan cheeses and other delectables to take home. This is a can’t miss! I’ll be back in a few days.

“As cinnamon-roll appreciators and enthusiasts, Just What I Kneaded truly sets the bar for all others in Los Angeles, perhaps California, and even the entire USA. Not only do they serve great coffee in their adorable outdoor space, but their vegan cinnamon rolls are truly epic. Sweet, spicy, huge, and fresh — the winning combination. We cannot wait to go back!!! Thank you, Just What I Kneaded!!! ❤️“

“From the initial greeting, to the lovely outside seating, to the great service staff, to really great flavors, it was a terrific meal. Our whole group concurred, “let’s come back here.”“

“The food was very tasty, will be back next time“

“Very unique and interesting flavor, but still delicious! Be prepared for your mouth to tingle and go numb from the spice 😛 I enjoyed the vibes here. I got the cold noodles and the noodle soup, both worth a try. Cold noodles taste really good, very rich, creamy and hearty flavor 😋 staff is really kind and explain the menu well. I would come back and try other things off the menu too.“

“I'm 1/3 through the menu trying different entrees. So far, every meal has been a tasty treat! The food is always hot, flavorful, colorful . . . and delish!😋“

“5 rating Vegan Delicious Pizza!! Slices, full pies, caesar salad, garlic knots, all house-made ingredients. cashew-based cheese. loved it!! As of October 2022, opened for 8 mos.“

“amazinggggggly delicious and healthy :)“

“Always great food. It’s all Vegan but I enjoy eating here even though I’m not Vegan. Everything is fresh and they have come up with some interesting combinations of food. Staff is always very pleasant and ready to help if needed.
Would recommend.“

“Are you kidding me it’s always good“

“Was super happy with our dinner at Hippo. Every dish was delicious. The brussel sprouts and cauliflower starters had excellent flavors. All the pastas we tried had incredible depth of flavor without being overly heavy or greasy. The hippo rolls and table focaccia were excellent and the chicken thighs were to die for. Only thing that was lackluster was the passion fruit gelato. Fun vibe, lots of seating, and great service!“

“While seemingly a modest hole in the wall, this is a michellin-rated bake shop renowned for its namesake Armenian pies, filled with an unbelievably complex and dense mixture of at least 12 chopped herbs and greens...dill, sorrel, beet leaves, spinach, chervil, cilantro, scallions, chard, purslane, tarragon, and dandelion greens. Each herb contributes distinct flavor characteristics but the ratio to achieve a balance of acidity/tangy. sweetness, and aromatic complexity is reportedly very hard to get right . The dough , sometimes described as translucently thin but crisp, tender, bouncy and flavorful, somehow maintains structural integrity and moisture control. The overall effect of the pie is super 🔥“

“食材很新鲜，素食主义者的天堂“

“The staff is great and friendly. The food is delicious!“

“Totally worth the 70 minute drive. Delicious food and great Taiwanese hospitality. Friendly, attentive staff and wonderful atmosphere. Minced Pork (Lu-Rou) Rice, fully loaded delicious stewed pork with egg. Meats are juicy and tender, kinda on the sweet side. Clamshell bun (Gua Bao) comes with tender thick cut pork, a bit on the salty side, but very well cooked. Fatty but not greasy. Thousand layer pancake with egg and basil was crispy and flaky. The basil flavor is a wonderful addition. Scallion bread sandwich was what we expected. Same tender thick cut pork, very happy to eat this. Next time I will probably get the beef, too much pork belly today Wonton soup is very classic, if you like shrimp wontons, you have to try this. We ended the meal with Hakka mochi and Oolong tea, the mochi tasted just like the ones in Taiwan. The tea was fragrant and is just the perfect compliment to the mochi. Overall an amazing meal with warm and friendly people, highly recommend!“

“My youngest daughter loves cooking ramen at home and I needed her to know what Little Tokyo and the soups at this location are about.

My family loved the welcoming from the staff. We were able to be seated immediately. We placed our order and while discussing the restaurant our plates were soon at the table. Not boiling hot but definitely not cold!

Overall, we enjoyed the food. I had the Spicy Quartz. Wife had the vegan spicy Quartz, my son had the Amber, and both my girls shared the Quartz. May I add free refills on the hot green tea!

Thank you and God bless.“

“This is the place to go if you love hot pot. Good quality food, tasty, and flavorful broth. Good service and friendly staff.“

“Great friendly service and food.“

“Love all the options and fresh deliciousness!“

“Stopped in on a Tuesday night to grab dinner with some friends and now I can see why this place is always busy!

We ordered pad see ew with chicken, chicken satay, papaya salad and Tom yum with shrimp. Everything was delicious and family style was the perfect way to go. Everything was flavorful from the tom yum broth to the satay peanut sauce.

Service was impeccable! We were able to get in without a reservation and there was virtually no wait time for a party of four. The server made sure we got our beer orders in on time before the happy hour ended and was very attentive to our needs, ensuring everything was to our satisfaction.

We will definitely be back for our monthly dinners !“

“whipped feta app was incredible, it's been almost a week and I'm still thinking about how good it was! the drinks were all memorable as well. was super busy when we went but worth the wait. can't wait to go back for dinner!“

“CG is at the top of my list when it comes to a fantastic meal, flakey and so great tasty pastries. Everything is homemade my taste buds literally are screaming yummy with every bite. Whether it is a beef patty, pine tart, cheese roll,vegetable curry, pepper pot, homemade bread and black cake. Everything is super delicious! Thank you so much Chef Yonette and the Caribbean Gourmet team for your amazing service! I truly appreciate the love and joy that you have in all of your wonderfully made and delicious selections.❤️“

“I recommend Botanica to everyone. They use fresh hand picked ingredients and the food is delicous! Their cocktails and desserts are so yum. I picked up some chile oil and pickled local veggies for gifts for my friends! Chef Zarah and the staff are best. Will definitely be returning soon.“

“Absolutely loved this place. We will definitely be coming back. We got Citrus Salad, Carne en su Jugo & Carnitas Wow, just Wow!!!!!“

“Lost my keys somewhere along Sunset and checked in with Ceci’s to see if anyone turned them in. They didn’t but ownership was so kind and empathetic that they handed over a fresh and delicious piece of tomato focaccia for my troubles. That’s what’s called unreasonable hospitality. Thank you guys, that was incredibly sweet of you and it brightened my day.“

“Soooo good! This was my first time trying Blossom Market Hall, recommended by a friend, and i absolutely loved my experience here! My sister and I had Rolland sushi, it was the perfect meal! Delicious with the sweetest staff. We also had a great experience with the lovely woman at the bar, she made our night too! Bar prices are GREAT!

Can’t wait to come back and try more places.“

“The best spicy Chinese Food in OC/LA area hands down! They have been Michelin recommended for a reason. Their food has lots of depth of umami flavors with a good amount of spice with a refined touch. Their none spicy broths are especially good too. My faves are their dry pots, toothpick lambs, Qiao Jiao Beef. We also like their spicy ribs and boiled fish in chilli sauce, and Mao cai. Service is great too!“

“I loved my lunch. Chilled Beer with Blue Cheese Burger.“

“Visited here today from Pittsburgh, PA and these are, without a doubt, the best donuts I’ve ever tasted in my life (I’ve tasted a lot 🤣😝). I don’t usually review places but that’s how amazing these are….“

“Last week I ordered the curry goat and I just ordered the brown stew salmon and OH MY GOSH, it was delicious ? ?. If you’re in LA and you know your Jamaican spots then you’ll know the only places to eat are Wi Jammin and Little Kingston but this is definitely my new fav spot as they also offer delivery directly via the website and it was only $5 which is unheard of in LA! Definitely value for money.“

“Delicious & authentic Cantonese and Vietnamese cuisine! Everything was so fresh and well prepared. Service was spectacular!“

“The atmosphere of the restaurant is relatively simple but comfortable. The waiters are friendly and provide fast service.“

“Delicious food. Fast service. Get here early to avoid a long line.“

“One of few places in Southern California that actually offers vegan talai. The naan garlic bread is out of these world. What I also love that they can make low salt food too and they have vegan mango lassi. Food is clean, so delicious and the employees are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended if you are in area. Updated from previous review on 2024-10-12“

“Great costumer service and very friendly staff.“

“The location in Echo Park Sunset is my favorite. It's an old world Los Angeles
Institution. I find the food is better here and it's not as hectic as the West Hollywood location. I think they have the best taqueria salsa I've ever had. They make their own chips. They make your guacamole fresh. They have a huge menu, and I think everything is quite good. Don't come looking for a great salads, it's just not the place for that. The atmosphere is amazing, bathrooms are spotless in the evening there is valet parking. During the day you can find some street parking. For anyone with difficulty managing stairs the front door comes right off the street.“

“The best Indonesian foods 👍😍👍“

“We celebrated my wife's birthday on Saturday, Dec 20 at the Cicada, this was our first time in this restaurant/lounge. We loved it, everyone was very nice and attentive, the service was amazing. We had the opportunity to have Lupe as our attendant, and she was very attentive and prompt with our meal and drinks. I highly recommend this place, the live band was great and the dancing supper.
Highly recommended.“
