50 Best Vegan Restaurants near East Los Angeles

“This place is great and something I've been wanting to try for awhile and glad I didn't finally.

I had their barbacoa tacos guisados which was very tender and with cheese added. Their salsa bar added a lot to flavor to it and the barbacoa was very tender. Their chikali taco comes with beans and guacamole and I got it with carne asada. The asada was charred very well and seasoned very well also. The beans went well with it and were not soggy. The staff was very nice and helpful in describing what was available, popular, recommended and what they thought it should have.

There's some seating next to their shop which is convenient. Their agua frescas was very good also according to my friend. It was his favorite place so far when I took him the multiple taco joints in east LA.

I'd come back here to try their breakfast/chorizo items“

“The rose Tea with no boba that I order here does not taste like a tea. It taste more like a strawberry ice cream in liquid form. They should of called it strawberry ice cream rose Tea. ?. Because that is how my taste buds perceived it. It taste ok. It is not bad. I enjoyed it. But I was expecting a Tea type of taste. I appreciate the service here. Thank you.“

“The food es excelente!! My first time buying there, definitely worth it!!“

“Delicious vegan pan dulce! Super nice people too. I highly recommend Soy Concha!“

“I finally remembered to try this place. It didn't disappoint. Everything was made fresh to order. The veggies were crisp and tender. The shrimp were nice and plump. The Tom Yum was zesty and flaming.
It's a nice place for friends, family, or a casual date. It's not fancy. You order before you're seated.
The prices are just about the same as most Thai restaurants. Which bothered me a little since we had to stand in line to order.
But overall, it's a great place! It was yummy! It's was peaceful.“

“Deliciously authentic Japanese food joint, owned and operated by a talented Japanese chef. I’ve been eating here for years with my family! This professional chef has personally made every sushi roll by hand for as long as I can remember. 10/10 Highly recommend. Truly a hidden gem in East Los Angeles.“

“The coffee was so good, not as sweet as the big chains. It really doesn't need the extra sweetener it was so good.

Parking: Located out front of the store

Wheelchair accessibility: I didn't bring a wheelchair this time however I don't think it would be easy to enter however not impossible, it's an old building.“

“Lovely people and food!!!“

“Great food and friendly service“

“You’ll never know it’s vegan, and that’s the best part. These desserts are out of this world delicious.“

“The pizza was to die for — we had the margarita pizza — thin crust and sauce delicious. We had the artichoke burrata appetizer which was delicious too. The area where the restaurant is located is very cool. Enjoyable all the way around.“

“We dined at Damian for the second time. Our minds and tastebuds were blown again! Everything was high level, food drink, service, desert, even down to the tiny cookie that came with our espresso. And, the duck carnitas, chefs kiss!“

“The little plates are yummy. I love the pita bread that came with the hummus (Salatim plate). The other plates were good also. I loved the bread pudding (I think it's better than the best cake). What I like the most about Bacari, besides the beautiful ambiance, is the friendliest staff.“

“The best tacos in California!“

“I like the food Jamil n actman is the best“

“One of my favorite Plant-based restaurants. Love the Pho..love the shrimp .love the octpus...love the teas..everything here is amazing.“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“I pop in here probably once a week sometimes twice for a glass of wine. The bartenders are very cheerful and informed with respect to varieties and flavors and all the jazz. They walk you through the options and make tip top recommendations. The place is always slammed at night, yet the manager is extremely accommodating and always finds a place for me to chill and savor the weekend ambiance. I’ve never had their food, but it looks delicious. All the servers are friendly and have excellent people skills. The outdoor space is a fun hang too if you have a group. I always feel spoiled here. 5 star experiences.“

“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!“

“Tasty food and all plant based but tastes like regular food. I mean I’m not Vegan but I enjoy every type of food. So Vegan or not you’ll get good service here and good food. It’s a small place but worth stopping by.
Definitely recommend.“

“Just tried MIRATE Restaurant the food was amazing! Definitely worth checking out if you love great flavors.“

“I don’t know how ‘hidden’ of a gem this is - but it is a gem. Such a unique place seeing as the only other one in the world is in London. Food is stellar and there are both British and American options on the menu. The display of motorcycles creates a fun atmosphere. There is a shop, barber, tattoo parlour, and display room for motorcycles as well as many other places to hang out here. Must visit if you are an auto or motorcycle enthusiast while in LA“

“Giving a five stars is because it’s a Taiwanese restaurant. Happy to taste some home flavor!

It was my first time visit this restaurant in the morning. I ordered pan fried pork buns, you tiao, iced sweetened soy milk, and a fan tuan to go. I highly recommend fan tuan because the taste is actually the same in Taiwan. For pork buns, not much flavorful. The soy milk is pretty good actually!

I will come by lunch or dinner time to try different menus!

*update on 5/6
Went back to try the lunch menu. Ordered a won ton soup and a beef noodle soup. I believe won ton soup with sea weed and some pepper would be better! As for the beef noodle soup, three huge beaf with great soup, better have the noodles with the soup to get more flavor!

Willing to try the other dishes on the menu.“

“The most delicious vegan and non vegan food any where.“

“Visit for lunch or Dinner. If you're lucky, you might have live music on a friday night. On to the food - Gourmet Carribean is a must try! the oxtails, jerk chicken, curry chicken, chick peas and the Friday special, Jerk Salmon. Everything I've tried is delicious. There's a small baker on the other side and I love their Ube cookies! I Highly recommend visiting Blossom Market. Located on the San Gabriel Mission Properties.“

“The food was great 👍🏽 I really enjoyed browsing the books on the book self. Awesome reading material !“

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

“Every pastry I've had at Just what I kneaded has been excellent--so glad they have such high quality (and large-portioned) vegan pastries! I also really like this space. Frogtown is a quiet neighborhood and Just what I kneaded's indoor and outdoor seating is homey and relaxed.“

“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.”“

“Casual walk in place, counter order. Service was ok. We got the classic zhengyalov hatz wrap, and split it. Having never had it, wasn't sure what to expect. It's very veggie, herbal-y. Pretty much just bread and vegs. It was done well, but maybe not to my taste. The flatbread part was very good though.“

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

“Such Wonderful atmosphere, food and coffee! 💖🎉🥳 They also have a super sweet display of gourmet treats!!! 🤩“

“Very delicious! My daughter fell in love with Katsu Sando ❤“

“Are you kidding me it’s always good“

“This place is the best!! Both Mexican and Chinese menus are so good!! I got the hibiscus steak burrito, orange nuggets, and habanero wings. The wings were the highlight, i haven't had anything this good outside of Thailand. I love the sugarcane 'bones 'in the wings, and their sauces are top notch. Aguafresca is also on point, don't skip it! They have matcha horchata, too. They have almond cookies that are not vegan but still very good. The vegan carrot cake was INCREDIBLE, I have not encountered carrot cake this flavorful anywhere. The staff were so sweet, and clearly really care about their customers. < 3 I got an order of chilequiles for breakfast tomorrow, super happy to encounter really nice vegan breakfast! I wish they had a cookbook so I could recreate this in Seattle“

“Both dishes were so good! I really liked the way they cooked the Bento- Shio Koji Marinated Norwegian Mackerel. The side dish Side- Chicken Karaage (Mild or Spicy)- had just the right amount of spice (l ordered mild). Overall, this will definitely be my go-to lunch spot now! (Doordash Pickup)“

“This Lilttle Italian store is the best!! Their torpedo sandwiches are a classic for years!. They have the best meatball and cheese sub around. Their cheese, deli and bread selection is excellent. This is a must try spot and make sure you take enough $$ because you are for sure find plenty of deliciousness you will want to take home.“

“David, one of the managers was so kind. He was amazing and helped me out so much. The food here is always consistent and probably one of the best vegan restaurants in all of SoCal. I’ve been able to visit many of them, including mom and pop shops. However, veggie grill really stands up against many of them and even passes them.“

“Fantabulous place to watch a game!“

“Absolutely delicious lox schmear and everything bagels! I was craving some and luckily found this place in my neighborhood. I ordered for pickup and it was ready when I arrived at the window. What a fantastic way to start a lazy weekend morning 😊“

“Delicious! Really interesting and tasty food.“

“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!“
