50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Northridge

“Best authentic Sri Lankan food I've come across in US. They serve a variety of Sri Lankan specialties including regular home-style rice & curries, lamprais, kottu & Sri Lankan short-eats. Huge portions for the price we pay. Looking forward to trying their Mexican food as well. Heard their Mexican food is so authentic & tastes great!“

“Gray food and service!!!!!“

“They used to be amazing but last visit the food and sushi quality got downhill and service was lacking too. despite asking several times for more ginger and Wasabi but got ignored about it. gave 1 plate of it for 2 people. price however doesn't justify the quality anymore. sushi were keep falling apart . not like they used to be. still fresh . it's ok but not for the price“

“Is Very Healty Delicies food. 100 Customers Service Waitress Very Nice“

“Who thought that classic American fare and Japanese cuisine could mesh so well??!!“

“First time excellent fresh food ..Live the appetizers“

“I am not a huge fan of gf food, so I did my best to avoid anything that would have a wheat substitute. I got the southwest bowl. I thought the tofu was really good. The potatoes in it weren’t crispy at all, and the addition of zucchini made it a little watery. Good flavor just not a knock out.“

“Lemon Zest consistently delivers delicious food with the convenience of easy app ordering. Their new location on Reseda is beautifully designed, creating a great dining experience. The portions are generous, offering excellent value for the price. My two kids love the beef lule kebab plate—it’s big enough for them to share, with leftovers to spare. As someone who eats mostly vegan, I really appreciate the variety of plant-based options. I’ve tried the falafel plate, falafel wrap, veggie wrap, and several appetizers—all have been flavorful and satisfying. Highly recommend!“

“Came in later in the night but Israel came right up to take my order they made my order quick appreciate the friendly service“

“Cool place to get Argentinean goodies... Gaby, the owner, is the best! My family loves her 🥰🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷“

“Great waitress Great food Just plain delicious food“

“Food was amazing, even got an appetizer on the house. Service was fast and professional but also very friendly and inviting. Our server Natalie was fast and made sure we had everything we needed and made good suggestions on what to order. This place is a 10 out of 10….. highly recommend“

“This place is the best option if you want to enjoy top quality burgers, especially their smash burgers are the best not just the burgers they make rice bowls with so much quantity and the food is always fresh and quality is so consistent !!

And the people here are always following the hygiene standards when making a bowl for you and atmosphere is always tidy and top notch

I highly recommend this place !!!“

“Thank you so much 😊 🥃🥃🥃🥤🍷🍷“

“Food is consistently excellent and the service is also great.“

“I recently tried the Shahi Paneer Pizza at Pizza Twist, and it was delicious! The creamy and rich flavors of the Shahi Paneer worked perfectly on a crispy crust. Prabhjot was really helpful in choosing my order, making the experience even better. I highly recommend it!“

“Absolutely THE BEST RAMEN!!!! I LOVE THE SPICY TONKASU. YUMMY. I have tried so many ramen places and this is the only one that satisfies. The staff is amazing, too. They even remember what every member of my family usually orders. Personalized, kind and attentive service.“

“Excellent food and service.“

“The description of Ike's to me made it sound like Fat Sal's and I was excited. Truth of the matter is Ike's holds its own, and it didn't disappoint. It has a great menu mixed with Meat and Veggie options. The Mrs. and I split and highly recommend the Captain Carl and the Meatless Mike (I concur "best vegan meatball in America", and Our 3 y/o gives the grilled cheese 👍👍. Our 9y/o swears it was the best grilled cheese she ever had.“

“If you like shakes, smoothies, or tea with boba, this is a great place to come. I have enjoyed every shake/smoothie/tea I've gotten there. My favorite is probably the horchata smoothie, but the Thai tea smoothie is close behind.In regards to food options, I've only tried the ham & cheese croissant. It's successfully simple, if you like ham, cheese, and a flaky croissant, you will probably enjoy this. Everything seems very appropriately priced. It is very clean and quiet here.On my more recent visit, I had a matchata (matcha and horchata) that was quite good. I tend to like their horchata drinks. I also had the pesto chicken sandwich. The bread they use is very soft in the middle with a nice crunch to it on the outside. The chicken breast was cooked well and the pesto was flavorful. I actually didn’t expect such a decent sandwich for the price.“

“Yes I highly recommend the food, the service, and atmosphere.“

“My husband and I usually go during happy hour for their poke nachos and crispy brussel sprouts but have tried a few other things. Everything we've tried has been delicious but occasionally varies in preparation quality. We went on March 18th and ordered the poke nachos but they were not as good. The portion was a lot smaller than usual, so we decided to order another one. The second one came out great (I included a picture of the one prepared correctly) and that's when we realized they left off ingredients from the first one sent. They were still good but it was interesting that the two plates were that different. We didn't mention this to our waiter and I'm sure they would have been accommodating but maybe plates should be checked for quality before they're delivered?

Another note, we usually sit at the bar but we got a table the last time since the bar was packed. We were obviously fine with this but the cleanliness was extremely lacking. The menus had food on them and greasy fingerprints. I'm also not sure why the booths are never wiped down?? The tables are cleaned but the food just lands on the seats. Then you're wondering what else isn't cleaned, look around, and notice all the other spots that aren't wiped down. So gross.“

“First time having to try this place and to our surprised that they freshly brew their teas.... this place has their own barista and boba’s was made fresh too! Will definitely come back!“

“The food was great Loved the lamb gyros.“

“Our waiter ( mario) best person I know. Service was beyond amazing, would recommend to all! Thank you Mr.’Mario for the best service ever!“

“food was fresh . sushi chefs good. nice variety.“

“great food and service satisfied“

“I ordered the 10 potsticker meal. To my surprise and disappointment, the potstickers were deep-fried, which I did not expect. Typically I have them at Chinese restaurants and they’re simply stir fried with a little bit of peanut oil, seasoning, and dill, which comes out very tasty.

The menu didn’t specify how the potstickers would be cooked, so part of this is not my fault for not asking. Although I still think the restaurant should advertise how they cook their various meals just to ensure their customers are fully aware.

The folks with whom I had our meals with, all enjoyed the various PHO, pork chop, lobster dishes.

So give this place a try, but be sure to ask questions on how they prepare the meal so that you know upfront if that’s what you want.

Reply to Saigon Brothers reply:
Yes, if you wish post a picture of your menu showing where it said fry potstickers. Perhaps I missed it, in which case upon viewing your picture of the menu showing the words fried potstickers, I’d gladly revise my review, thanks“

“Very good vegan pho. If you are in the area and looking for healthy alternative food definitely check out this place.“

“Today is August 17, 2022, I came back because I had to try the steak bowl with all veggies and I had a can of BUBLY grapefruit flavored. Aleksandra, Sadee, Corrina and The rest of the staff are a lot of fun we spent a lot of time asking them about which pole I should try. I finally settled on the ribeye steak bowl with no rice… I had to have the garlic Serano sauce which Karina made clear was her favorite and turned out to be mine too but I had to add a couple packets of hot sauce the grapefruit drink I was enjoying was perfect with the spicy flavor and the meat was cooked to perfection! the store is kept very clean! Waba Wednesday means two chicken bowls for $12.99!“

“I grew up going to the original handels in Ohio. It is by far the best I’ve ever eaten! Brought back so many memories !!“

“Omg. Shrimp spicy dumplings. Soooo good Red bean buns delish Scallion pancakes great Chicken crunchy and juicy“

“we come here often for their lunch specials and yummy food“

“Consistent food. Friendly, efficient service. Very reasonable prices for amount of food. Many options. Delivers. Good catering menu.

Vegetarian options: There are multiple vegetarian options: multiple pastas, salad, and pizza. The Florentine lasagna is particularly tasty, especially with added marinara sauce.

The kitchen is small, so there may be non-veg food in the vicinity of your food.

Dietary restrictions: Cheese is omnipresent; it is an Italian place. I don't believe there is a cheese substitute available.

Parking: It is easy to call in orders in advance for pick up or eating there.

I have visited this place for 20 years. The food has been consistent over time in terms of quality.

I have used LA Lasagna for catering for groups of CSUN students and faculty/staff many times to good reviews.

This is a neighborhood restaurant with good prices, easy parking, pick up, and delivery.

The marinara sauce needs more garlic for me, but there is garlic, red peppers, and Parmesan cheese in shaker bottles.

The fountain sodas offered are Coke products. They also have other cans/2 liter bottles. I don't believe there is beer or wine.

The atmosphere is storefront bright with little ambience, but is clean with friendly service, and accurate orders provided.

I now live 50+ miles away and often stop by when I'm in the SFV near CSUN.

Kid-friendliness: The tables are close together, and the area open, so no mobile toddlers. Otherwise, mellow kids are fine here. If you have fidgeters, get your food to go or delivered for everyone 's sake.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for users of wheel chairs or other mobility devices.“

“Stopped here on the way to the airport and I was not disappointed! I had a ham, cheese, mushroom and onion omelette (not on the menu exactly) with country potatoes and it was delicious! The coffee was good, the food came fast and got and the server was great. I'll be eating here again when I'm back in town. But they are cash only, luckily I had some on hand . . .“

“We came to Paragon Bar and Grill for brunch right after my daughter’s graduation from CSUN. I found the place through a quick internet search and didn’t really know what to expect, but I was able to make a reservation online for a party of 13 with no issue. Our reservation was right when they opened at 11am on a Sunday, so we pretty much had the place to ourselves—just a couple of people at the bar. The space definitely leans more bar than grill, but it worked well for our group. Very low-key and relaxed. The menu had plenty of options, which was great since we had a few picky eaters. Everyone found something they liked, and the food was excellent across the board. The service stood out—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. We didn’t order many drinks, but even so, I was surprised at how reasonable the bill was for such a large group. Only downside: the bathroom could use a refresh. It’s what you’d expect in a neighborhood bar—functional but not the highlight of the visit. Would absolutely go back. Great experience overall, and I really appreciate the staff for helping make the day special.“

“Chutamas Thai has been our weekly Thai fix for months.My husband gets his usual Crying Tiger and Yellow Curry with chicken ( no spice ) and I get Papaya salad ( extra spicy ) and a “new dish” to try. Just recently, my family including my husband and I had dinner there. It was an opportunity to order new dishes, and a few of our favorites. Not one bad dish. Everything was delicious. The service was attentive and quick. Chullisa ( hopefully spelled correctly ◡̈ ) is always so kind, in person and on the phone. I tell her that Chutamas has made my husband a Thai Food convert. I’ve tried Thai food with him in the past, and he never asked to have it again. But after Chutamas, he looks forward to our weekly Thai fix! What a hidden gem .. ◡̈“

“Fresh delicious food prepared to order.“

“Excellent service great food and good people“

“Susan is delightful, and the food is FRESH & DELICIOUS....oh, that laffa bread!!!!!!!“

“Northern Chinese cuisine is so good! We were in the mood for some good dumplings and noodle, and I remembered that I wanted to try this restaurant Northern Cafe right by CSUN.

It's a nice, spacious restaurant with plenty of booths and windows. The staff were friendly and the food came out on time, so that's a plus there.

Now when it came to our meal, we definitely enjoyed everything that we ordered. We started out with Garlic Chicken Wings and Popcorn Chicken (not spicy at all, but delicious), and they both were great starters, especially if you like having the saltier side of your fried chicken. The Popcorn Chicken is almost addicting and it's easy to finish it before you know it.

Then out comes the House Special Beef Noodle Soup which I think is almost a mandatory must-have. I did wish I went with hand-pulled noodles instead of the regular noodle, but you can't go wrong with any of their noodle options. The broth was, warm, calming, and steeped in the wonderful aromatic beef flavor, while the noodle and beef were cooked to near perfection. Add some (or a lot) of chili oil, and you have yourself some noodle nirvana!

The handmade Juicy Pork Dumplings may be hot (caution), but slurping the hot soup out of them was half the fun! They were well made and were just a treat. 8 pieces are plenty to start so they're not stingy with their portions.

Finally, the Angus Beef Fried Rice was our last dish and it was quite good although it fell a bit short compared to the other dishes. It's not that it was not tasty, it just wasn't as tantalizing and was a bit more one-note and could have uses a bit more kick in the flavors.

All in all though, I'm looking forward to coming back to try more of their menu!“

“My husband and I come here often because food is good considering it's all you can eat. Food comes out fairly quickly too even on busy nights.
The only issue I had was they don't have a waiting space, which is fine on a regular day. However, it was really hot one day (105° at 5pm), and the host told us she hasnt texted us to come in yet and we can't wait inside (basically telling us to wait outside). It was a hot day and we had a toddler with us. We came back 25 mins after being quoted a wait of 20 to 30 mins. If it wasnt for a birthday we were celebrating, we would have left.“

“the salads are delicious. the food is very good“

“Hello, The Trekking Pawns here! Wanted to try the taro brûlée, but found out the name was changed to taro smoothie. The boba was nice and chewy with a hint of sweetness. The drink it self was a bit too sweet for me. We also got the Thai Tea and it was fine as expected. Good place to get a quick fix.“

“A place of wonder, magic, and love. This is a Gastropub like no ordinary dove.

It flys in the sky like a bald eagle,
Protecting and serving us like a charged up beagle.

The Days here are always fun,
Like a g-string party in the sun 🌞

So come to the place that is a staple in our society, but don't depend on your sobriety.

Games and hollering with yelling at your fantasy team to make you look ballerina.

So sit back and enjoy the all 🇺🇸 American pub.

Taps 4 life.“

“I have been going to the Tortilla Inn since 1970 along with my closest friends to this day. We loved it then and we love it now. Betty is just delightful and we love Juan, too. Great food and atmosphere. Take your wife for a romantic dinner and request the corner booth. 💞“

“Food were delicious😀“

“Awesome food and the service was an 11 will be back soon thanks“

“Their apples are so good!“

“My favorite place to get coffee. Have a few specialty drinks I toggle between that are my favorites. They have some unique and delicious muffins and a chocolate chip cookie to die for. I think the cookie is gluten-free....but you wouldn't know. Its so tasty. Was so happy to find this gem 7 years ago and have been going there ever since“
