50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Gardena

“Very friendly staff, easy parking, reasonable prices.

I got the Thai Boat Noodle Soup and it was flavorful and rich but slightly salty. It had lots of meat pieces and I liked the pho noodles. The portion was perfect for filling me up, but I don't eat that much.
My wife liked the tofu green curry. It was very lemon grassy.

Overall, I would come back to try other dishes.“

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

“A+ Food, Service and atmosphere is Amazing and the serving staff is very courteous attentive and kind. They showed a great amount of patience and care when taking my elderly parents order and that is greatly appreciated and they were very happy and we will definitely be visiting again.“

“Gotta have their Hawaiian Royale and Egg Foo Young...da best!“

“Wonderful experience! When my party of 5 got here the entire couple of blocks were experiencing a power outage and they told us they could only serve sushi since the gas was also turned off. Luckily that is exactly what we came for and we decided to stay. They were very accommodating, really nice, and the sushi was delicious. We ordered the yellowtail roll, spicy tuna roll, sushi combination, and the red dragon roll. Prices are reasonable for sushi as well. Definitely coming back here again!“

“My brother and I went to Pho Hoan Pasteur with high expectations as they had high ratings on Yelp.
He ordered the regular sized steak and tendon pho. He found one piece of tendon in the entire bowl, so he was disappointed. The taste of the pho broth was just OK... not the best, nor the worst he's ever had.
I had the grilled shrimp bun and it came with two egg rolls. I was disappointed as rice noodles were all broken. It felt as though the bowl was filled with the rice noodle scraps at the bottom of the bag. The fish sauce wasn't remarkable either. I added lime juice and samba.
We tried it. We probably won't return.“

“This is said to be the oldest and most beloved mochi shop in the area.

We picked up a 10-piece assortment that included ohagi, injeolmi mochi, steamed buns, and various manju.

The store itself looks like it’s barely hanging on—honestly, you might walk right past it if you didn’t know what you were looking for.
But the flavors are simple, clean, and feel homemade. No artificial aftertaste or overpowering sweetness—just old-school comfort.

I especially liked the ohagi and the cinnamon manju.
One of my companions loved the injeolmi mochi and also the cinnamon manju, while another really enjoyed the steamed bun and the white bean-filled manju.

If you appreciate traditional flavors and a nostalgic, home-style vibe, this place is worth checking out.“

“蕎麦、日本食　最高 !“

“great food for Hawaiian food“

“Love the shrimp spring rolls and egg rolls. My daughter loves the pho and my husband likes his grilled pork and rice. We were able to dine in at 11pm. Glad we were able to make it, esp after arriving from a transatlantic flight. Thank you for the good food.

Kid-friendliness: They have a high chair and kiddie utensils that came with a scissor.“

“It’s a busy place that you have to make a reservation in advance. We went on a Friday night and would like to add one extra person but it was fully booked so we had to seat in a smaller table with 5 people. It was a 2 hour limit dinner but the service speed is a bit slow. When we were ready to check out, it took a long time for the bill… like 15 mins so we had to ask to expedite. There were two waitresses and the younger one had no smile from the beginning to the end and the other waitress was warm and helpful.

The food is about average and it’s a good place for friends gathering.“

“Seafood and beef soup and the pork belly. Broth was very tasty.“

“great food affordable and very clean area.with great customer service.“

“Friendly, great customer service. Food is delicious 😋“

“This was literally one of the best salads I’ve ever had. You’re going to become a regular in our rotation.“

“as recommended by ishigo optometrist over the road : we have just finished a great lunch- the restaurant is clean and modern with booths and tables and cheerful staff - big and well presented mains- I had pho: the others had the spectacular looking garlic shrimp noodles: we particularly liked the crispy: rolls and rounded off with coffees of course. now off for a long walk to settle it all down.“

“🙂👍 Great food and delightful people!“

“Best sandwiches. Everything is delicious. Made to your liking. Custom made“

“I’ve seen this place since 2017 but never decided to eat here once I found out it was a Greek restaurant (at that point I thought they just served chopped up grilled chicken on top of bowls of salads with olives) but boy was I wrong.
The service is as good as the food, both magnificent. I finally came here because of LATryGuy on YouTube review in one of his YouTube channel shorts and when I saw the chicken I said “OH it’s like Dino’s Greek style chicken with the seasoning and lemon juice on the bed of fries at Dino’s restaurant) I tried both types of lemon garlic chicken meals at Maisons so far the regular and spicy (which it’s actually not that spicy at all) and they were good. The gyro is good too, I’m just disappointed they have not re-upped on the LEGENDARY LAMB CHOPS for months after the review. Next I have to try the shrimp pasta like LA TRY Guy reviewed he said it was a 10/10 for everything.“

“I love their Porridge with pork and century egg/duck“

“Friendly service, everything is yummy!“

“One of the best Jajangmyeon I've ever had!Jajangmyeon is a Korean-Chinese dish of thick noodles covered in a rich, fermented black bean sauce and served with vegetables and pork. The savory, salty, and slightly sweet dish is a cultural icon in Korea, often associated with childhood memories and special occasions. The noodles are made fresh which makes it extra special. The Chicken in Spicy Garlic sauce is a perfect accompaniment with it's tangy crunchy chewy spicy taste! This is the type of place that
will be your go to for Korean Chinese dishes! Nothing fancy on inside but super clean and super friendly staff!“

“I had the mini Katsudon combo (bottom) and my boyfriend had the Nikuyasai Soba (top) and as our first time here we were very impressed! Everything had so much flavor, our waiter was very attentive and kind. Definitely worth a try if you’re looking for an authentic experience. Would definitely come again“

“My favorite Japanese-Italian spaghetti restaurant!!! My family and I have been going here for a while at least 15 years and maybe even longer. My favorite is garlic beef with Italian sauce. The bread is delicious and we like to buy a loaf to eat at home. We are surprised that $1 salad is still $1. This place is one of the few restaurants who I went as a kid and now I’m taking my own kids there.“

“Ramen is so good I cried.“

“Every so often you come across one of those restaurants, where you know the owners and general manager's sole purpose is to send people home absolutely full and satisfied.

This is one of those places.
This hits the mark on Japanese soul food. The noodles good. The super good. The bowls and plate sizes are just insane. Have you ever eaten at a Japanese restaurant with a dinner plate? Was the size of a medium pizza?

The food was so tasty. Fact. I love this place so much that I came back two nights later. And the cool thing is they are open until 10:00. I rolled in after 9:00 on both times and I was able sit down immediately. The place is extremely cozy. Very casual and a very homely feel from the staff to welcome you in. I'm coming back... Again and again.“

“Came across the on a walk back from Venice Beach. Highly recommend.“

“Simply delicious food. Look forward to visiting again soon! Baklava - to die for!!!“

“Fresh Tofu. Best in LA/So Cal!“

“Kimberley made my daughters wedding cake and then drove it up to Ojai! The cake was beautiful and tasted amazing and she was a dream to work with! She is crazy talented, has a great team, a great story. Love her.“

“A long time go-to spot. Family owned. Great quality Japanese food that is delicious and well priced.
My favorite is the salmon skin salad, only $8 still during these difficult times and post COVID prices. Offer multiple combination plates, sashimi, and authentic rolls.
Tofu salad also delicious.
My Bachan is a regular here :)“

“First time trying shabu shabu and it did not disappoint!!!“

“I have been coming here for five years now and when I tell you, their food is fresh it is made to order and it is so good, I mean it. The service is superb. The people are so nice and the restaurant itself is very clean and it smells so good in here.. I would recommend this place to all my friends and family.“

“음료가 맘에 들어요.“

“Let's be real, sometimes restaurant names escape me. But when my wife says "Korean soup place with all the Korean senior citizens," I instantly remember she means Tofu Village in Gardena.

Here's the thing: if you walk into a Korean restaurant and it's filled with Korean senior citizens, you know the food is legit. And Tofu Village? It's always bustling with them, which is a testament to the authentic, soul-warming dishes they serve.

Their specialty is Soon Tofu, and it's honestly the best value on the menu. A bubbling hot stone bowl filled with flavorful broth, silky tofu, and your choice of protein (I'm a beef guy, through and through)? It's pure comfort food.

But the real star of the show, in my opinion, is the banchan. Those unlimited vegetable side dishes? They're a feast in themselves! Fresh, flavorful, and constantly refilled. And even when you order to go, they don't skimp. They pack up little aluminum foil containers with the best of the bunch, which is a thoughtful touch.

Tofu Village isn't fancy, and it doesn't need to be. It's authentic, delicious, and makes you feel good from the inside out. It's a 5-star experience, and I'll keep coming back for that warm, comforting bowl of Soon Tofu. And those banchan, of course!“

“Muy ricos 🤑 desayunar en ese lugar 💯👍🏼“

“Very satisfied great friendly service“

“Fantastic food fantastic energy fantastic service fantastic venue.“

“This has become my go-to sushi spot now since August '24. Food is great and fresh, sushi chefs are the real deal and know what they are doing... They are creative in what they can make... The sushi chefs talk with you and take pride in their preparation and presentation... Go there, you won't regret it... BTW, I always sit at the sushi bar...“

“they got great food! good portions you'll walk away satisfied.“

“I forgot to take a picture of my food but I had gotten the seafood bao (one giant bao), melt cheese pork bao (2 pc), vegan bao (2 pc), a bao-ger (burger on bao) and the vegan bao-ger.
The burgers are fairly good burgers but the baos themselves stole the show. The seafood was absolutely delicious! So were the vegan baos. Cheese pork bao has a very well portioned and flavorful bao. I would definitely come again“

“The food was very good! I will be visiting again“

“Jabar was the most polite and welcoming and humble human I’ve encountered in a very long time. And the food was amazing too!“

“Great place for a snack. We ordered pita with chicken and vegetables. There was a little mess in the kitchen, but overall everything is very good. The people behind the counter are friendly, the interior is simple and casual, the food is delicious“

“fresh croissants are so good, I always come back for more! 🤩😋“
