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!!!!!“

“Great place, very consistent with the quality of fish. Please go check out Jesus with his recommendations of substituting certain fishes in certain rolls. This place craps on the Katsu-Ya off topanga. Came here for my birthday and I left like a happy man. Shoutout Jesus!!! Only complaint is the parking in the plaza but what can you do 🤭“

“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“

“Nice food , good atmosphere,friendly staff“

“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!“

“Leo's Superfood Cafe is definitely the best way to me! This fully gluten free + fully vegan spot is located in more so in Lake Balboa, California, but actually resides in the city of Northridge, Los Angeles, California in a small plaza lot near the Van Nuys Airport. It's off the intersection of Roscoe Blvd/Louise Avenue in a small plaza with parking. Their baked good are incredible with a big selection of flavors. While their Daring Pot Pie is a top favorite. I can't say anything bad about their pizzas, wraps, quesadillas, sandwiches, shakes, teas, espresso, plates, bowls and other beverages. I do have to avoid their seed based bread do to my sunflower seed allergy, but everything is clearly labeled and the are very allergen cautious. Love their Leo's Superfood Breakfast Burrito, "Meat" Lovers Pizza, Hot Hash Keto Bowl and Crunchwrap. Definitely my top recommend aside from the Pot Pie and desserts. Everything is made with care. The service is excellent and the absolutely love and appreciate their staff as well as all us customers.“

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

“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 !!!“

“Excellent food and service.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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 . . .“

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

“I got the kuromayu and it was delicious. Tasted like getting a hug. My husband especially loved their chashu.

The popcorn shrimp was way less bready than other places’.

Our waiter AJ was friendly and attentive.

Will definitely be coming back and trying their other ramen options.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“great food and service satisfied“

“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!“

“The staff/owner(?) were all so friendly! They humored me being really shy while using Vietnamese to order. Got the pork belly banh mi, grilled pork banh mi, potstickers, and chicken wings. Chicken wings didn't have a ton of flavor, but that's what the sweet fish sauce (nuoc mam ngot) was for. The pork belly banh mi was the star! The bread was so fresh and crunchy. Staff was super attentive and came to refill water whenever our cups were even half empty. Will definitely be coming back again to try the other dishes! It's in my blood as a Viet person - Viet recognizes Viet!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Probably the best Thai food restaurant run by the family I ever enjoyed“

“This was our first time at this location. They didn’t have some menu items that we have seen at other locations.

It’s a nice big open place with plenty of seating. Be aware of the tables where the air blasts down on it. They had plenty of staff. Good customer service.

The best thing was the pork dumplings, which did come hot! Tastes delicious with soup inside.

The fungus salad was a little too vinegar tasting. The seaweed salad was a good size. Tastes crisp and yummy!

Chongqing Crispy Chicken was very spicy, even at medium heat!! Eat with rice…the perfect combo!!“

“This spot is amazing and I have never had a bad experience here. Servers are all nice and attentive and the sushi is top tier. They do not stuff you with rice and add a tiny piece of protein on top like other spots do. You really get great rice to protein ratios here.

All the rolls and shareables are phenomenal. It gets busy and there is a wait to be seated, but it's worth it, and to me that is a great sign. Busy is good for restaurants.

Sometimes the servers do get overwhelmed and forget a roll you ordered, but as soon as you bring it to their attention it's a very quick fix.

Highly recommend eating here!“

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

“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. 💞“

“The inside is nice and cool. Music going, clean tables, and you can order at the screens yourself or at the counter. Lots of seating inside.

I got the Tiger Thai Iced Tea with Boba, very good.

Service was ultra fast too.“

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

“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“

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

“The food was great Loved the lamb gyros.“

“Their apples are so good!“

“The new owners are very professional, polite and courteous. I like attending this place because the food is served at a timely manner and they take into consideration the way a person wants there food done. Its food is very delicious and at a reasonable price.“
