50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Lakeside

“My 1st time here mid May 2024.Super sweet and fast service, fun old fashion atmosphere and cool old time decor. Great local place. Large portions, quality food. Clean restaurant and restrooms. This was my 1st visit however, they have been here a long while and pushed hard to stay open during Covid-19. Parking lot is small, however we had no issue.“

“My vegan lox and bagel was the 💣!!!!“

“10/10 food is tasty and service is friendly“

“After trying the dan dan noodles at a vegan pop-up market today, I can not stop thinking about them! The noodles, the OmniPork, the crisp veggies. Amazing. My boyfriend had the spring rolls and really liked them. I am looking forward to trying the rest of the menu because the whole menu looks fantastic! The staff was super friendly, and the portions were generous. Who can complain about vegan Chinese food? I can not, as it is challenging to find and is one of my favorite cuisines. I will continue to support this local restaurant and recommend giving it a try!“

“Absolutely LOVE Ultreya! Both locations are top notch. We love it so much that we get coffee beans sent to us in Illinois. Great staff, great coffee, great tea, delicious food and pastries, and amazing owners. If you haven’t been here, you will be in love after you go!“

“T&A Adventures is @ The Hills Local Pub in La Mesa California having THE BEST BURGER of our adventures so far! I mean WOW! Juicy deliciousness! Garlic Parm Burger - Half Pound patty, candied jalapeño bacon, swiss, garlic aioli, arugula, tomato, brioche bun, parmesean crisp - Served w Fries. Absolute 🔥! Our Server "Jordan" was awesome too.“

“Awesome staff and great food.🤩“

“we just moved to the neighborhood...the crab fried rice was sooooo yummy .“

“My kids, me, my husband, my brother in law, my best friend, her family, the list goes on, all LOVE this place. Some of them drive from Chula Vista to eat here. I haven't had a bad dish yet. Carnitas, Carne Asada, Pollo, are all done perfectly. My favorites are the number 1, and the Carnitas Plate. If you're not into meat though try the veggie burrito, the Chile relleno burrito, or the bean n cheese burrito. You can also order the 3 sopes plate with refried beans instead of meat. That plate with meat is a favorite too if you like Sopes. I almost forgot about their chimichangas... I know where I'm headed for lunch today.

Vegetarian options: If you're not into meat though try the veggie burrito, the Chile relleno burrito, or the bean n cheese burrito. You can also order the 3 sopes plate with refried beans instead of meat. Excellent food here.

Kid-friendliness: My kids have been coming here since they were babies. They're teens now.“

“Yummy sandwiches and perfect scones! Also has a cute wine selection and great seating. Got the signature breakfast sandwich which was really good, avocado was a bit brown and they forgot my chili oil (that I paid extra for) so that knocked some points down. Suggested to me by TikTok, pretty good for a TikTok rec!“

“Loved everything we got tonight, the chicken sandwich, pulled pork, amazing! So were the fried Mac and cheese balls!!!!“

“our waiter was amazing. food was top notch had crab stuffed shrimp with jalapeño cheese sauce. Get it!!“

“We just discovered this place. The food was really good. The service was friendly and prompt. In summer, I'm betting the small outdoor patio would be very nice to sit on. We will definitely be back and we are telling everyone about this place.“

“Our waitress today was Maya. She was very attentive! We had a great dining experience today.“

“Great breakfast and sandwiches. Cozy place with homemade food and great service!“

“Everything noodles from all over Asia. Except, no pho. Mainly Thai and Chinese food.

We ordered:

-Spicy Szechuan chicken wontons: You could tell these were made fresh on the spot and frozen. Great size and spicy sauce.

-Fried chicken wings dirty flavor: 6 wings were evenly fried and had a dry rub.

-Dan Dan Noodles: Typical Dan Dan dish has the numbing spice but not these. It does have the peanut nutty sauce with ground pork and many slices of cha shu pork belly.

-Laksa curry noodle soup: This is a Malaysian dish that I don’t see often. It has coconut milk, lots of chicken and shrimp. Reminds me of Vietnamese noodles.

-Hainanese chicken over rice: Every time I see this dish, I would order it. It’s all in the sauce and I would have to say I was disappointed because it wasn’t the ginger scallion sauce. They use ginger garlic soy sauce. The steamed slices of chicken breast were really dry. Least favorite dish of all.

We ordered leave 3 spice for the dishes and wasn’t spicy. Only the spicy wonton had a tiny kick.

This place serves alcohol and has beer on tap as well Thai beer and non alcoholic drinks.

Looking forward to coming back to try other noodle dishes. I also loved that the prices are reasonable for the portions that you get.“

“The current staff at our local Sombreros is always pleasant. They have a good chef again, so the food is tasty. Rolled tacos, carne asada, adobo, pollo, chimichancas, crunchy beef tacos, rice, beans, salsa - all good lately. The service is pleasant, and friendly. Food is fresh.“

“The food the service is amazing. VERY bad experience that little Roma restaurant I should’ve known better that there’s no place like Nonna’s.“

“I have been craving good Thai for a few years. I have tried some not good and some okay other places. Thai Time is so good. The aromas of the spices tortured my already empty stomach with the enticement of good food to come. I have fallen in love with the food and customer service. I will be back as my budget allows.“

“3/5 for a first timer during restaurant week… the special menu was $50 per person…. we never got any bread with our dinner (and didn’t realize we were left out until we were on dessert)… and, portions were small, so the bread would have been nice, especially for $50… also, the server made us make our food order at the same time as our drinks… personally, i like to have a drink or two before i order my food… so, the service was rushed in that sense… and no one asked me if i wanted a second glass of wine i had the veal and my friend had the lobster ravioli… both tasted decently but, again, small portions… the burrata was amazing and the desserts (tiramisu and lava cake) were pleasant i think i’d like to try again on a night that isn’t as busy, and order off of the actual menu“

“Hands down, the best burgers. My go to is the Double- Double animal style (mustard grilled into the meat, grilled onion, extra sauce, extra pickles). You can get it on any of their burgers. To the Snyders (the owners of In-N-Out), PLEASE put stores in Florida!! We deserve this goodness too. 🥰“

“First time here and not disappointed. Didn't have a long wait like others said. The doma was excellent. I got the combo to try their meats - beef kabob, chicken Tikka, and beef shawarma. All were seasoned well, especially the shawarma...very bold. But it's the cook on the meat that set them apart! All 3 were tender, juicy, and savory. Too many overcook these but they just melted in my mouth. Highly recommended.“

“I love the salad and sandwiches“

“we stopped in for just some quick pancit and lumpia tonight. it was delicious. highly recommend. the service was impeccable the order was quick. Definitely going back.“

“Very good food 👌 Quick and their senior mini omelet hit the spot!“

“Best sushi ever!!! Umami roll is the most amazing roll I’ve ever had with tofu in it!“

“Bold flavors that took us pleasantly by surprise. We’ll be going back.“

“We've been ordering sandwiches from this deli for a few yrs now... they're reasonably priced & soooo good!! ♡ u guys! Thank u Danny for always makin sure our take out orders are correct & ready to go when we get there 😁 *Support Small/Family Owned Businesses!* Thank u from all of us at All 4 Pets - Santee #all4petssantee“

“If you like my comment please click on the ❤️ and show some love 😽

This is a Hidden Gem+ first time here and already loving it.
Very friendly staff, very very clean, and the atmosphere makes you feel like I'm in a very expensive place.

The food was awesome, the coco shrimp was really good, the mixed fried rice was AWESOME, the beef noodles is good while it's hot. The spicy dumplings... Yeah that was very spicy but good.

Over all, yes I recommend this spot to anyone.“

“Best subs we ever had! Highly recommend the smoked rib eye steak. And where did they get all of those chips and drinks? Even the chocolate chip cookies were the best we ever had.“

“Felt bad arriving pretty late; 1945 when they closed at 2030. However it was a long day of flights and our hotel was far away and reviews for this place suggested it was excellent. I'd wager a guess I've eaten at at least 100 pho establishments in my time on earth and for sure this one ranks in the top 5. The food was great. The beef ribs were AMAZING and those deep fried buns were to die for. The prices are very fair and portions filling for most any adult. Most importantly the broth was rich and had a good mouth feel. Beefy but very light almost as clear as a consomme.

Wish I lived in San diego so I could visit this more than once but gives me something to look forward to coming back for.“

“nice place and very good and taste“

“Quaint . Great service and food“

“Great atmosphere, great service , Great Food 🍶“

“We were there when they opened this morning, and that entire team of workers was ready for the 15 or so people waiting to get in!. My dutch baby was fantastic!“

“The best Seamoss I have tried. Many flavors to chose from at great price. Customer service is to notch. Congrats on your new shop. See ya soon.“

“Excellent service, friendly atmosphere..food very satisfying“

“Ok the broth here was amazing but I was kind of forced into the filet mignon pho when I asked for the rare steak. I even ordered in Vietnamese. She insisted I have the filet.
It was good. And the broth is one of the better in San Diego. Not sure I'll go back. I want what I want.“

“Me n my girls stopped in for açaí bowls and they were so yummy and filling. My daughters loved the suggestion to add Nutella. We will definitely come again!!“

“Great place with great food and great service, will definitely come back!“

“During lunch break, stopped at Harbor Freights. After finishing my business I was hungry for some chow. Looked around, and although plenty eats here, I decided on Baba Kabob shop. Small shop, great for food to go, or you must dine outside. No indoor dining. I also notice that this is a catering business. I decided on the Baba Kabob special..chicken, Kabob meat, French fries and the vegetable fixins...tomatoes, lettuce, and onions. Had I known the French fries were inside, I would have asked for them on the side, or none at all. Do not like soggy fries...
The portion was huge, although it seemed light on the meat, in my opinion. Still good, and too much food for one person..at less than half, and gave rest to a coworker.
I would pick up food again..I ordered a diet coke bottle, but they forgot to give to me, and when I remembered, I was back at work..bummer city.“

“Great portions and great taste. Very friendly servers, I recommend.“
