50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Marina Del Rey

“As we walked in there was no hostess and all the bartenders saw us but turned the other way. We waited but it looked completely empty so we were a bit confused whether or not they were open. They could have said, "welcome, someone will be with you shortly".My friend had to walk up and ask if we find a spot or wait for someone. They said we need to wait for a hostess (not friendly at all). The hostess was nice and so was our waiter, THANKFULLY. I gave 4 stars for the lack of welcoming and because I felt like it was hard to pick something I thought would be good. Food was average, nothing too exciting from what we ordered.“

“I went there for my first time today and my family and I loved it. My dads side of the family is from Chihuahua Mexico 🇲🇽 and it was great to enjoy such great food. The prices are so great. I highly recommend this place! I had the Machaca plate and my mom and grandma had the chili relleno enchiladas plate.“

“Phenomenal Salmon salad and dressing!“

“great non greasy pizza Loved the dough“

“I stopped by HiHo Cheeseburger in Marina del Rey around 3 p.m. on a Saturday, that magical hour when parking is neither impossible nor easy. The restaurant shares a gated lot with REI, which kindly validates two hours.

Inside, the vibe was steady but calm. I ordered the HiHo Double and fries, which arrived in a leisurely fifteen minutes, a dignified wait for 100% grass-fed, grass-finished Wagyu. The burger, though smaller than an In-N-Out Double-Double, was excellent: melty cheese, slow-cooked onions, and crisp lettuce. The fries were fine, but McDonald’s and the BK Lounge can rest easy.

At $10.45, HiHo is in a higher price category than In-N-Out and Shakeshack, but of comparable quality of taste. Worth a visit, but not at the top of my LA/OC burger rotation.

Still a solid 4 stars“

✅ Verdict & Recommendations

Juice Crafters in Marina del Rey is a solid pick if you’re in the mood for a health-oriented smoothie / juice / bowl spot. Its strengths are in its menu variety, fresh ingredients, and convenience. However, expect some inconsistency in blending or portion size, especially with delivery.

If I were you, here are a few tips:
• Go in-person (not via delivery) if you want the best texture and presentation.
• Try a popular item (e.g. one of their signature bowls or cold-pressed juices) to test their consistency.
• Inspect the packaging on delivery (make sure it’s sealed) and send feedback if it’s not.
• Visit during non-peak hours to avoid rushed orders.“

“We had the pleasure eating at Baja Cantina yesterday. Delicious food, we had mushroom tacos, chicken fajitas and watermelon margeritas. The best host David, a gentle giant, softspoken and polite - what a great asset to the Baja Cantina team 👏“

“Delicious, Persian food. Generous portions, great service and atmosphere.“

“Thank you Tyler in Marina del Rey. I live in St Louis but my parents lived in California so I would visit often. I LOVE the quinoa crispies and Tyler was nice enough to get me a little to go container to take back with me to STL on my visit to the store yesterday. The whole staff could not have been friendlier. Thank you!! Can’t wait to come back next visit.“

“These cupcakes/cakes are to die for.... Ok maybe not die, but well worth traveling 30 miles out of my way for And definitely worth blowing any diet LOVE LOVE LOVE SUSIE CAKES“

“Kreation Grab & Go in Marina del Rey is exactly what you’d expect from the name—a quick stop for health-conscious food and drinks, packed into a space that’s barely bigger than a walk-in closet. That said, they make the most of every inch. The fridge cases are stocked with cold-pressed juices, wellness shots, protein snacks, and pre-packaged meals that are actually fresh and flavorful. If you’re trying to keep it clean—gluten-free, organic, low-sugar, plant-based—this spot has your back.

What it’s missing is any real atmosphere. There’s no place to sit, hang out, or even really pause. It’s grab-and-go in the most literal sense. But honestly, that’s kind of the point. This isn’t a café or a place for long lunches—it’s a functional pit stop for people who want to fuel up with something healthy and get on with their day.

Service is quick and friendly, and everything feels intentional, if not particularly warm. Pricing is Kreation-level, so you’re paying a premium, but the quality is consistent. For locals or anyone heading to the beach or gym, it’s a convenient way to make a good choice fast.

Four stars for solid products, great convenience, and health-first options—just don’t expect cozy.“

“Burgers are outstanding not to mention those onion rings are a hidden gem“

“Amazingly well kept restaurant with fantastic food and great service. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for excellent food in the Marina del Rey area.“

“Best of Best...“

“They've recently added a cashier/ waiter machine which makes ordering exactly what you want much easier and efficient. The place looks like it originally was made to support indoor dining, but the owners use the entire indoor space as a kitchen“

“From the Kansas Citian. ......a very nice atmosphere with cost effective $$$ Prices! Good Nutritious Food! Coach John Arthur Carstens! P.S. will return again to Marina Del Rey !“

“Nothing Like A Memorial Weekend... Nothing Like A Burger 🍔 With Fries 🍟... With A Large Shake🥤“

“Beautiful breakfast near our hotel. Fresh crusty bread, excellent coffee, great value. The ingredients were healthy, organic eggs, the produce was like being at a farmer’s market, and we had excellent service. Five stars!⭐️“

“I wish there were more seating, but this place was truly delicious. So many things on the menu that I would’ve loved to try. The beef & lamb was AMAZING and the hummus was very good. I wish they’d used traditional feta for the Greek salad but other than that, no notes.“

“Stopped in for my first time this past weekend and thought they were pretty good. It’s true that this is not my favorite bagel spot in LA but I live very close by to it so it’s conveniently located for me and it really hit the spot this past Sunday morning. They don’t really have indoor seating, and it’s not very large on the inside because it is more of a to go type of spot however it’s not quite as quick as some of the other bagel spots. They seemed to have less staff than some of the others, so that could be the cause. The menu is quite large and they have a lot of great bagel flavor options. It’s located in a shopping mall so there’s plenty of free parking attached and close by. The lady behind the counter was polite and there were a lot of other customers in there as well so it seems like it’s a popular place.

My first visit I chose an Everything Bagel with cream cheese, avocado, and chorizo and enjoyed it. I wish the chorizo would’ve been spicier and had a little bit more flavor, but the other components were really good. The Everything Bagel was a little bit heavy on the sesame, but still I enjoyed it. We also tried one of the Garlic Bagels, and thought it was actually very nice. It was not overly garlicky but well balanced. I would give this place another try in the future and would recommend to anyone in the area.“

“Very happy! Super good! Started with their flakey Brussels sprouts with a kick. Then did a seafood plate in chili garlic sauce! Everything was so good and the 4 pot of spices and sauces they bring were amazing!“

“delicious food, I feel like I'm eating in Thailand again“

“The best Indian food outside of Uk and India !“

“Real nice enjoy seeing the beach while I ate“

“very good food and the staff very welcoming and professional“

“Today was my first time stopping by Ike's but it most definitely will not be my last! Jake greeted me with the friendliest smile and answered every question I had as a new customer. Believe me I had a lot! He even gave me his favorite order after my probing. *The Menage a trois with french bread, lettuce, red onion, pickles and banana peppers. His genuineness and energy told me I could trust him, so I ordered and joked that I knew where he worked if he led me astray. I am happy to report that Jake told no lies. The sandwich was AMAZING!!!! I also got the Hollywood's SF cheesesteak for my husband. He also loved his choice. I ended up buying two combos. I look forward to returning. I hope Jake is working that day!!! :-)“

“Not the biggest fan of how they charge for all the extra sides you’d typically get for free when ordering pho at any other restaurant, but still enjoyed my meal. They serve large bowls, although it’s a bit extra broth for its contents. The beef rolls are a yummy appetizer and the brisket is tasty. Service is fine, they do automatically add 18% minimum service charge to small parties and more for larger parties.“

“Was just there week ago food always fresh hot staff always great helpful. 10-10 for sure“

“Always wonderful! Never disappointed.“

“We always order the Ruth's Classic large Filet, medium rare. Every previous time, it was perfect - tender and juicy. However, this time, the steak was a bit tough and it had WAY too much salt - much more than usual. From now on, I will order it without any salt. but it will be awhile before we return.“

“Delicious Philly Cheese Steak.“

“Admittedly, I'm setting a higher bar for this restaurant since it's in a Ritz Carlton. The food was good, but I guess I expected it to be a bit more elevated based on experience at other Ritz Carltons. The ambiance was nice, but the entire reason I made a reservation here was to dine outside with a view of the marina. I guess I should have confirmed this when I made the reservation, so probably my fault. My review probably reflects my disappointment. The service was impeccable and waitress was friendly and attentive.“

“Very good food and service“

“Absolutely fresh salads and healthy options“

“Went for our grand daughter's 11th birthday. The service was great for a very busy Thursday night. The food was great. Thank you Paolo for the great service. You made us feel like family.“
