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.“

“Very disappointed in my kids turkey sandwich that I always order at the Mount Vernon location but decided to go here because I was in the area. The bread was so salty on top that I could not eat my sandwich and it had no mayonnaise on it and it was sloppily made. So needless to say I am very disgusted and disappointed with this location and will not be returning. These employees need to pay attention to what the hell they're doing“

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!“

“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.“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“BEST Mexican food in town. My husband and I have been regulars shortly after they opened their doors. They even catered our wedding which was a bit hit with our guests. Everything in their menu is delicious…I especially like the pasole which I order frequently. A must try…you’ll enjoy the food and the service.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“The food was fantastic and the house margaritas were tasty. We were on the patio, which is beautifully lined with backlit tequila bottles, but ”cozy”. We sat at a table for two across a three foot aisle from another two seat table. We literally could have reached over to eat their chips we were so close. It was awkward, especially since it is quite out there. Also, our waiter could have cared less that we were there. But, again, the food was very good. D“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Always a joy to hit this local spot. Prices are going up as their portions are getting smaller. So recommend sitting down and eating there instead of getting it to go. You get more and get to experience the old fashion ice cream shop atmosphere. We had a large group to celebrate family moment and it was fun eating I've cream on the patio.“

“great food friendly staff“

“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“

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

“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.“

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

“Loved this place! The servers were exceptional. We had a large group and they handled everything like pros. The banquet room was beautiful and we didn't have to wait long to eat. Just a special note all the servers were attentive and friendly, we liked the extra touch of the manager Nicole who made sure everything was perfect.“

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

“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 😋“

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

“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!“
