50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Bakersfield

“I drove past this restaurant while visiting my sister in the hospital. I’m not from the area but thought I’d get some take-out. It was fresh, hot, and good sized servings. I had Pad Thai and added crispy tofu, as well as the garlic green beans. Delicious!“

“We stopped at this restaurant in Bakersfield on our way to Death Valley, and honestly, the exterior and overall floor setup might seem a bit deceiving at first — but don’t let that fool you. The food is absolutely delicious!
We ordered Malai Kofta, Sarson Da Saag, Paneer Butter Masala, along with Amritsari Kulcha with Chhole, Garlic Naan, Makke Di Roti, and Tandoor Roti — and everything was outstanding. The real standout was the Amritsari Kulcha with Chhole — just superb. Fresh, authentic, and packed with flavor. The breads were perfectly made — soft, flavorful, and served hot.
The owner and staff are incredibly welcoming and kind. You can truly see the pride they take in their service and freshly made, authentic recipes. Everyone in our group, including the kids, loved the food.
We will definitely be coming back again!“

“I love the way the building has been renovated because I remember when it used to house See's Candy back in the day. I especially love the Rio Bowl and the relaxed atmosphere. I can't wait to go back.“

“Great salad and husband loved the Moroccan Lentil Soup Friendly !“

“Awesome service. Always a pleasure to have as a waitress Michelle“

“Last night, we had a flavorful dinner at PF Chang's, struggling to choose from their menu since all the dishes are delicious. In the end, we couldn't resist the crispy shrimp and Mongolian beef topped with fresh green onions. The apple drink infused with smoked cinnamon had such a unique flavor that we happily ordered a second round. The highlight, however, was the warm, complimentary service from our friendly servers, Katlynn and Daniel. They made us feel more like friends than customers, engaging in meaningful conversation and making our evening truly special—far beyond ordinary service. If you're planning to visit PF Chang's, I hope you'll have the chance to meet them and enjoy such a warm, friendly experience with their kind smiles and spirits.“

“Very Nice Food !! 🥘 With Good Behaviour Special Muskan’s Behavior Nice N Friendly ❤️🧣“

“I’ve always enjoyed the food and the Luigi’s experience and last night just added to that! I hosted a surprise party in their warehouse and it was phenomenal! Their staff is amazing! From start to finish, they delivered! From their detailed-oriented event coordinator, Lis Clarke, to their friendly, attentive, and fun staff—I am thoroughly impressed! All of my large events will be held at Luigi’s from now on!“

“The ambience is so inviting I love the old look of the countertops, but most importantly, the food is absolutely fantastic. We can’t choose just one meal everything we’ve had has been excellent.“

“This place was a really nice surprise. The food came out delicious and everything was well seasoned, so every bite had great flavor. The portions are pretty generous too, which I always appreciate. It’s definitely the kind of meal where you feel satisfied by the time you’re done. The prices were completely fair for the amount and quality of food, so it felt like a good deal overall. One thing I thought was cool is that you have the option to either order on your own or go with full service, depending on what you prefer. That flexibility makes it easy whether you’re stopping in quickly or planning to sit and enjoy your meal. All in all it was a great experience and I’d absolutely come back again. Definitely worth a visit if you’re nearby.“

“Excellent service...!!! Friendly staff...!!!“

“easily the best ramen place in Bakersfield“

“the pazokkies were really good and taylor c was very kind and helpful“

“After spending all day at CSUB, I was really ravenous when I walked into Blaze. The team greeted me almost immediately. Michelle was very friendly, professional, and prepared a great pizza. This was my second time here. Thanks Michelle for the hospitality.“

“Acai is fire. Always on point. Just make sure to take your time picking out what you like. They always have so much on the menu, it never gets boring. Sandwich are fresh and giant. Make sure to check them out. We go once or twice a week and it’s always fire. 🔥“

“Interesting (in good sense) breakfast choices. Shakshouka was perfection. Finally, it's rare to get a sweet potato dish that tastes amazing. Don't miss Moo Creamery's version of sweet potato.“

“I had the Moroccan Eggs and they were out of this world amazing! Full of flavor and spice! The perfect breakfast/brunch“

“What a special treat to discover this restaurant my first morning in Bakersfield. Delicious Chilaquiles, and a coffee made with that very special natural sugar found everywhere in Colombia, South America, Panela! Topped off with salsa music. I’ll be back.“

“After leaving another area restaurant/bar due to zero service, we decided to stop into Nuestro Mexico. So glad we did. The servers remembered us even after it had been awhile since our last visit. We were greeted warmly and seated promptly. From that moment on - the food, cocktails, service was ON POINT! Best decision we made. Comfortable atmosphere in historic central Bako. Highly recommended. We’ll be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“My new favorite restaurant!! If they sold mad sauce by the bottle, I'd buy it!!“

“The sandwich and the salad were bomb. The salad was the good kind of extra with a nice touch with the with the cut tangerines and the small grains of Parmesan. It really put it all together and it was super good. It was a pleasant place to eat inside of.“

“I will not have Mexican food at any other place in Bakersfield. Only there from now on I’ve been living back in Bakersfield for five years now and never have eaten here when I tried it today I was happy with the food taste and I’ll never go anywhere else.“

“This place has the best Mexican food in all of Bakersfield!!! We love their food!! My youngest son loves the fajitas. My oldest son has the chicken tacos. My husband has enchiladas or a tostada. I have chile rellano and asada taco. Everything we’ve had to eat here is delicious!!! Lupita and Betty are the best!!!“

“Our group, ten hungry people traveling from San Francisco to Los Angeles stopped in Bakersfield for Thai-Chinese foods. We were lucky, the owner did the cooking for us. Surprisingly, the quality of the food is authentically Thai and Chinese. Kee, the owner is a Chinese from Thailand and owns 3 branches in Las Vegas and other cities too. The service is excellent! and the facilities are very clean.“

“My must stop spot when visiting California! Food is amazing and the staff goes above and beyond.“

“I came here on the recommendation of one of the workers at Hard Rock. I told him I liked spicy sushi and this place nailed it.

I hand the Ex-girlfriend and asked him to make it extra spicy. It was spot on, the perfect amount of heat to punch you in the mouth without drounding out the flavor. It's honestly a delicate balancing act.

The service was outstanding, my server helped me pick out another roll. Not as spicy but a perfect compliment to the ex friend.

I'll for sure be back.“

“The banana split is humongous!!! My kids call me big back dad because I eat alot! I eat so much I became diabetic (lol true story). Today I decided to split a banana split with my wife and the banana split knocked me out like AJ did Jake Paul.“

“This is one of my favorite places to go in town~ They always have the friendliest staff and their food never disappoints! Their new yaki noodles and tazuna rolls are really great. I loved their tazuna roll because I got to build what I like in it, since I always have the hardest time choosing between what roll I want. Their tea is so refreshing to drink! I got the mango black tea and it was definitely the perfect thing to have in today's hot weather. Great place to go for a casual lunch or dinner :) <3“

“There are some really good things to share with you and unfortunately, quite a bit of bad. Starting with an awkward arrival process, service went downhill fast and stayed there - earning a 10% tip. Upon arrival, the hostess seemed flustered and instead of leading us to our table, she pointed where to go and said she would be there to bring "um, uh, umm" and I completed the sentence with - MENUS. "Yes, menus". They were brought promptly. Putting a drink order in......well, that wasn't so prompt. We both ordered iced tea, one regular and one raspberry. They were served to us reversed. Both of us got a surprise drink before swapping glasses. From time of order to food delivery was good and eggs were nice, hot and freshly cooked. Once the food was dropped off, we would never see our server again. There would be no checking to see if we needed anything or ask how the food tasted so far. We had to flag down another server for refills and to ask for butter. A third person handled the transaction with her iPad. She was walking by and noticed us sitting there with empty plates and glasses. Very disappointing service - start to finish. The Food: The chili verde omelette was fantastic and better than some of our other breakfast faves. The fruit was also very fresh. The chicken fried steak premade and fried - not dredged and breaded on premise. The hash browns are not made with fresh potatoes grated on premise like most top breakfast spots. These potatoes are rehydrated and fried. In an oddity, I chose a biscuit as my bread choice and that usually includes gravy. This was served as - just a biscuit. No jelly, no butter, no gravy. The food was good enough that we'll return and try again.“

“I get my morning coffee or matcha before work. Buttery Scones so good. I love the bacon cheddar pastry for a quick breakfast treat.“

“Food was tasty. It was a little busy for the two waitresses working. Place looked trashy tables not bussed when we walked in.“

“The taste of the breakfast potato’s (my fave) & everything I tasted made sharing a meal with family the best of times!“

“Friendly staff, and tasty food with lots of variety. This is the place to go for down-home eats and plenty of them.“

“I want to say I have ALWAYS loved this place! There's never been one day or night I went that was underwhelming. The atmosphere is intoxicating in the best way, the food is chefs kiss and high quality and presentation, and my Waiter last week Carter was the most understanding waiter I EVER had in all my years in this life. That man deserves recognition for the cordial humor, interpersonal skills, social awareness, patience, expeditousness and drive to be successful. Thank you Carter“

“Reviewed by my wife (Teng) We finally tried Saigon Bento. Their food was really so good! We got the Jurassic pho soup and it was very delicious and satisfying. We also got the Saigon Bento plate and everything in it was so tasty! But the one that stood out was the garlic noodles. It’s so flavorful! The flavors of garlic and Parmesan cheese combination was so savory! Highly recommend!“

“We love their thin crust pizza's! The sauce is so good we always ask for extra sauce on our pizza and toppings are fresh! Love their mango habanero chicken wings, they have really good pasta as well and we love the Zeppolis! Yum 😋“

“Met a couple of girlfriends for a little Donner and girl time before the holidays take over our time.The service from the moment I walked in was great, we never waited for anything. Everyone looked busy, working, laughing with guest celebrating birthdays and the atmosphere was nice not to loud so we could still visit. . We all had a great meal, I personally had chicken fajitas so yummy chicken had a great flavor . At our table there was also a fajita salad Wow ill order this next time looked really good and . Lol our waiter was great and we shared fried icecream in the end.Tonight wasnt a cocktail night but the ones we could see all looked good. Our meals didnt seem expensive compared to other locations.
