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!!!!!“

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

“We love Leo's Superfood and enjoyed recently meeting the wonderful owner Paulette! Our favorite dishes are the black bean quesadilla (w/added pea protein) and their pancakes, but there are so many delicious options! I'm gluten free and this cafe is fantastic for me. My husband isn't gf, but loves their food, too.“

“Halal House simply is the best for the plates! Chicken over rice and Gyro! I even got two Gyro pita wraps today. Its affordable, quick bite to heat right near CSUN. I also saw that they have burgers! Really good size and taste. This is my go to spot for halal food near Northridge, honestly.😀I“

“Elena and staff were so wonderful and welcoming. The drinks are amazing. Service is timely and faces are friendly. We love going to this local spot because we are always treated very well.“

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

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

“Food is and always has been amazing! The chicken and lamb kebobs are my absolute favorites. There was a small mishap with my latest order, but the manager, Mike, called me personally and quickly addressed and resolved the issue. Great food and great customer service!“

“Great food and service. The best salmon skin salad we have ever had. Most places strip all the meat off, but at Hirosa they leave a bit of meat on the skin which adds even more flavor and texture.“

“They serve Northern Thai food (Nam Prik Ong and Sai Ua). They also have Larb Northern style. It’s not on the menu, however, you could request it.“

“When I visit my mom in the valley, she enjoys going to Katsuya for lunch. I always have a smile seeing only Latinos making sushi behind the counter. Imagine going to a nice Mexican restaurant and seeing an all Japanese kitchen? Anyways, the sushi quality is good, not great. My moms favorite is the miso cod which costs double in Century City. I was told Katsuya is an independent chain and it's up to the owners the price they set“

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

“I got a half watermelon and half passion fruit slushie with mango jelly. It was absolutely delicious 😋“

“This is the BEST pizza I have ever had in my life. No joke. I have tried many many pizza spots (mainly because all my kids eat is pizza) and this one hands down is the best one! Good for adults and kids! Flavorful not bland like some other spots with fusion items. It's become my go to ordering spot anytime I'm hosting or have guests over too. My personal favorite pizzas are the Gobi Manchurian and the Achari paneer!!! Must have!!!“

“Excellent food and service.“

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

“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 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.“

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

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

“This place has the absolute BEST Oyakodon and curry. I know people focus on the ramen but for real, it’s the closest we’ve gotten to food in japan since we got back from our trip. INCREDIBLE and they have thai tea and milk tea that’s delicious!!“

“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.“

“Fresh delicious food prepared to order.“

“great food and service satisfied“

“We've been to the Burger Lounge in Sherman Oaks but last night we were meeting friends who live in Calabasas so Northridge felt like a great mid-point option. There were four of us. I'm an extremely picky eater!! With that said, Bella (Front of House) took my order and even repeated it back twice which included her reading from what she punched into the computer. When my order came to the table it was 100% inaccurate. Kareem (Shift Leader) was very apologetic and wanted to immediately take care of it, which I appreciated. But, I wanted to take it a step further. I wasn't upset but curious as to how this occurred as I knew Bella had inputted the order into the computer correctly. She & Kareem were uncertain as to why it happened. Bella kept apologizing and I learned she was new. I told Bella it was not her fault but she insisted on taking ownership and Kareem wanted to do whatever it took to make me happy. My career involves running a company and training employees to take responsibility and therefore expeditiously turning the situation around. It's all about recovery and between how Burger Lounge trains their staff and the type of genuine human beings that work there....Burger Lounge succeeds at elevating the dining experience! BTW, the food was fabulous and if you're going to add sugar to it, their shakes are FUNomenal. Kareem & Bella are definitely above & beyond employees and the others working there were all happy & helpful. This is the gold standard and a recipe that should be non- negotiable for any business. It was a gift that the error occurred as it showed us what an outstanding establishment Burger Lounge is with outstanding employees. Huge thank you to Kareem & Bella. Thank you for all that you are and all that you do. You two, your team & Burger Lounge have the secret sauce!“

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

“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 . . .“

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

“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.“

“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 !!“

“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!“

“Seriously the best ramen I’ve ever had I don’t know what more to say. Broth perfect noodles perfect toppings perfect. Super kind staff friendly service food came out quickly! I ordered another one to go so I can eat this incredible food again tomorrow. Mind fairly blown.“

“Nice clean store and food was delicious. The girl at the front was so friendly and answered me questions about the menu. I ended up getting the lasagna garlic bread salad combo and it was so good and for less than $15! I ate the garlic bread first cuz it was so good that's why it's not in the picture LOL.“

“the food was delicious and the portions are generous and large enough to share. the staff is wonderful and so attentive. she gave wonderful suggestions and is very informed on the menu items. its also great for vegans or vegetarians. highly recommend this hidden gem. the tables are spacious and spaced out with a few booths, parking lot is available and a bit small but there is always enough parking space available.“

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

“The food was great Loved the lamb gyros.“

“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. 💞“

“Yo.... Northern Cafe is so good. The beef fried rice was 🔥 the beef pancake was 🔥 the chicken soup dumplings was 🔥 the pork wontons in spicy was 🔥 and the house special beef soup was 🔥 the popcorn chicken was 🔥 and the cucumber salad was 🔥 10 out of 10“

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

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

“Nice atmosphere where we sat outside and enjoyed good food. I recommend the Salty Pretzel bites as a starter! My fish and chips were delicious:)“

“Food were delicious😀“

“The whole experience food service is professional and kind“

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

“Fabulous! We wandered in on a whim after the power was out at our usual poke spot—and what a lucky find. We shared an order of spring rolls and egg rolls, plus a grilled bánh mì, and every bite was fresh and delicious. The peanut dipping sauce deserves a special shout-out—absolutely outstanding. The portions were generous, the prices were great, and it was more than enough food for two.

It’s always a good sign when you see Vietnamese families dining in a Vietnamese restaurant, and that was definitely the case here. Even my partner, whose taste buds usually lean hard toward burgers and fries, was blown away by how good everything was.

To make it even better, it was one of those clear, sunny, picture-perfect mid-December days in Southern California, and they had Bing Crosby Christmas carols playing in the background. Loved every minute of it. LA really is the best. 🎄☀️“

“I recently visited El Taco Llama and unfortunately my experience was disappointing. The food was average and did not have the flavor or freshness I was expecting. Some items seemed like they had been sitting for a while, and the overall quality did not match the positive reviews I had seen.
The service was also not very attentive. The staff was not particularly friendly, and it felt like customers were being rushed. The restaurant itself could have been cleaner, especially the dining area and tables.
While the prices were reasonable, I expected a much better overall experience. There are many other Mexican restaurants in the area that offer better food and service for a similar price. I hope the management takes customer feedback into consideration and makes improvements in the future.“

“Husband & I came here to this location for my weekly pregnancy craving. A Milktea Boba.. (also the name of my cat btw 😸) and we had such a great experience we had to write a review about it. We were taken care of by a young man named Kevin. He was so very sweet, kind & patient with us! We had never been to this location and they had a lot of new different things we were curious about and never tried. Anyways kudos to Kevin for being such a kind worker and making our yummy drinks and experience awesome! Pregnancy craving satisfied 🙌😊“

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

“Their apples are so good!“
