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.“

“Holy smokes, this place is just incredible. I ordered the vegan car-nada sandwich which has blown my mind. Warm crusty bread with savory fake meat and fresh veggies. They make the protein in house, which explains why it’s so tender and flavorful. Also try the vegan horchata, which is pretty much a cup of your momma’s love for you and Christmas mixed into a spicy sweet mellow health tonic for the spirit.“

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

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

“Chili & Lemon Thai Cuisine well know establishment in East L.A on Atlantic Blvd just a block from Whittier Blvd in the heart of East L.A. This is only Thai restaurant in East L.A but not sure but you have travel to Monterey Park or Alhambra to get some Thai cuisine. We often use Door Dash,Grub Hub or Uber eats depends which service delivery on time.

We enjoy Thai cuisine because we know everything made fresh and using fresh ingredients. We notice Chili & Lemon Have be come very popular with Latino communities in East L.A. Our favorite dish are the Teriyaki chicken and Yellow curry with rice. They have good selection of items in their menu everybody enjoy spicy food like Thai.“

“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!!!“

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

“Amazing food!!! Service was great. Gotta have the Pork shank and Pop Corn situation!!!“

“The best tacos in California!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“amazinggggggly delicious and healthy :)“

“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!“

“Amazing journey of flavors!“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“1st time here and man was it awesome. The food was good, I don’t know what kind of pickles they use, but they are delicious. The people were wonderful. It’s a small place, which is what I love, Not a fan of crowds. I am so glad my partner and I came across this place. That PASTRAMI!!!!, my god was it delicious.“

“Fantabulous place to watch a game!“

“Wow! I've never eaten much Armenian food, but I figured heck, why not? Was not disappointed! I got their namesake, and LOVE IT! All those herbs chopped up and wrapped up? On top of that, the mint and thyme tea? Yeah... I was sort of suffering some weird thing where I kept having to clear my throat. Tons of "ahems" and other old people noises ??. But just a bite of that Zhengyalov Hatz, and honestly I was healed! Some of the best food, and quite healthy! For sure, I'm coming back, and I'm bringing friends!“

“Heats off to the owner and staff in this place taking all effort to make it excellent and you know what, they are successful in that. I am not sure how popular is it in US but first time I saw video games for kids which is simply great while coming with kids, so they are not bored and we can fully enjoy the meal. Great vibes and interior with all the famous people from Compton especially rappers painted on walls. Very delicious and healthy food best we had while in LA. I keep my fingers crossed for Planet Health and you guys making this location absolutely standing out. Exceptional hospitality as well. I came over from Poland with my fam and knew this place is one of a kind. Please help to keep it going people. It must stay on the CPT map. I truly hope I’ll have an opportunity to step in while back in LA in 2028. May God bless you and Planet Health. Regards from Warsaw, one love. Planet Health is a place to be!“

“Everytime I order from this restaurant, Im amazed. The dishes are so flavorful and you know that you're eating something good for you. It leaves you feeling energized and ready for whatever. I really wish they were open more, I'd order everyday literally!“

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

“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!“

“This cafe has an all vegan menu, with vegetarian options- the inverse of what you normally get. They have a beautiful patio where you are visited by lil birdy friends asking politely for crumbs. The menu evolves and there are different drool-worthy pastries daily.“

“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.”“

“Are you kidding me it’s always good“

“I went in this morning and saw someone getting a lox and CC bagel so I asked for the same thing. Also grabbed an orange ginger what ever juice. Let me tell you… this has to be some of the best lox in all of LA and the juice was top 2 in LA…. And it wasn’t #2…“

“Delicious vegan menu! I had spinach stir fry and the chicken nuggets were out of this world ! ❤️😊“

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