some of the best food I have ever eaten in my life. come back to san diego!
ManEatingPlant’s Shroom Bao is the best!
i had a Shroom Burger from ShakeShack, batter was thick and patty was over fried, portobello mushroom was thin.
ManEatingPlant’s Shroom Bao’s batter is thin and patty is properly fried, portobello mushroom is juicy and puffy, melt in your mouth. 👍👏🥇🏆👑

MANEATINGPLANT is a one-of-a-kind plant-based restaurant that has impressed many with its exceptional menu. Located in Gardena, this establishment sometimes operates out of a "test kitchen" and also appears at various pop-up events, including Smorgasburg. The restaurant is known for its fried mushroom bao buns, which many consider "phenomenal." The batter on the large king oyster mushrooms is delicate and crispy, perfectly balanced by the soft bun and cashew hoisin sauce. Several reviews mention these buns as some of the best they've ever tasted, even better than traditional duck bao.
Besides the fried shroom bao, MANEATINGPLANT offers other popular dishes like their Char Siu BBQ Bao and Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup. The garlic noodles have also received praise as one of the best vegan dishes tried. Customers appreciate the fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared food, which seems to be made with love. The staff are friendly and humorous, making the experience even more enjoyable.
While the quality of the food is excellent, some note that prices are on the higher side, especially since there is no dine-in seating. For those looking for a unique, delicious plant-based dining experience, MANEATINGPLANT is definitely worth visiting. Its flavorful offerings, including the garlic noodles and steamies, have made it a favorite among many.
