They currently have an A inspection rating. (I saw some old comments saying they had a C). I stopped there today for the first time to check if I could get a lunch combo box at that time of day. It was like 3pm though, so they didn't have any. I think she said to call ahead of time and she can prepare it for you, but I'm not totally sure that's what she said. I got a couple vegan mushroom rice wraps instead, and they were really good.
It is a Togo vegan place with delicious bento box at amazing price. My mom who is vegan always asks me to stop by whenever I am visiting her to grab her a bento box. They do take credit card (used to be cash only). They also have a lot of frozen food for sale.
we ordered combo A and combo B. So much food and delicious. You have to try the zingzi. It’s next level

Merit Veggie Place is a small, family-owned vegetarian and vegan restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience. Despite challenges with staffing and rising costs, the establishment strives to provide high-quality, affordable meals. Customers often enjoy the daily bento boxes, which are delicious, healthy, and extremely generous in portion size, sometimes filling two meals. The restaurant also serves a variety of vegetarian and vegan dishes, including a well-liked vegan burger and fries. The owner, a very nice lady, works alone as the chef and cashier, making sure each bento is filled to the maximum capacity, sometimes until the lid cannot close. She rotates different dishes daily, so customers never know what to expect until they open their box, and her cooking feels like home. She uses quality ingredients like 5-grain rice, and all dishes are healthy and not greasy. The restaurant is known for its delicious mooncakes with mung bean filling and flaky crust, made fresh daily without preservatives, offering better quality and affordability than supermarkets and bakeries. While service can sometimes be abrupt or loud, it reflects the busy environment where the owner handles everything herself. Despite sometimes closing early when bento boxes sell out, Merit Veggie Place remains a beloved spot for fresh, tasty, and plentiful vegetarian food in LA County. Its convenient location with ample parking adds to its appeal, making it a unique and valuable part of the local vegetarian and vegan scene.
