50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Pasadena

“Absolutely loved this place. We will definitely be coming back. We got Citrus Salad, Carne en su Jugo & Carnitas Wow, just Wow!!!!!“

“Had to stop by my favorite Italian grubbin in the heart of Old Town Pasadena all the way from Boise. This was my 3rd time and each time just keeps getting better; definitely the bigger the party, the better. We paid $225 for 4 pasta entrees, 3 appetizers, & 2 glasses of wine for a party of 6. I’ve learned to like my pastas al dente after having them here. The meatballs are banging, the wine-pairing was delightful. Our service was attentive and pleasant; the vibe is always vibrant and homey. Highly recommended.“

“The best French food in LA. Chef is outstanding. Staff incredible. So yourself a favor. Go.“

“Delicious. No dine in available, but I recommend eating it asap. Chicken katsu curry, fried chicken, and the spam musubi were fantastic. The lady operating the register was very nice. Was about 20 minutes from time of order to pickup. 10/10 gonna go back. All the sauces were great too. Definitely give it a try if you're near by“

“We drive 35 miles at least three times a month to eat here. We love Home State and as a Native Texan, I can attest that their queso is the real deal!!! I just wish they'd open one in Claremont, CA!!! The Don't Mess With Texas is my favorite taco and my husband loves the brisket taco. Everything is amazing though!!!“

“Its open and they really made sure its safe , service and food perfect . Happy days“

“Spicy jalapeño cocktail 🍸💕“

“The service, the food, the environment and the kindness and efficiency of our server tonight! 😋👍“

“Chong Qing YaoMei Hotpot offers an authentic and unforgettable Chongqing hotpot experience, with a rich, spicy broth that perfectly balances heat and flavor. The ingredients are fresh and high-quality, from tender sliced meats to a wide range of vegetables and handmade meatballs. Their sauce bar is impressive, allowing you to customize your dipping sauce just the way you like it. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the vibrant, modern atmosphere adds to the overall experience. While slightly on the pricier side, it’s well worth it for the flavor and quality — a must-visit spot for any hotpot lover.“

“Just amazing...this stuff is so beautiful I almost didn't want to eat it! But I did, haha, and it was great! I love that there is so much variety, from cookies to cakes, and the owner is such a sweet person! I'll definitely keep them in mind for my birthday when it rolls around in August. Keep up the good work!“

“Amazing smoothies and bowls! Yummmmy! Cute shop with food and gift items as well!“

“amazing food, service and ambiance!“

“Delicious and nice place.“

“WOW! I love the simple menu here with dishes that have been perfected and are so so good. We came for dinner and it was pretty slow. Food is made fresh and takes a minute, but that’s to be expected. Highly recommended checking this place out and supporting this amazing small business!!!“

“Salad Dressing is amazing. Parking is horrible. They said 10-15 for my order. 25 minutes and I got a $52 Parking Citation🤬🤬🤬🤬“

“It may seem petty - but for what seemed to be fine dining the table was poorly set and with paper napkins. Our server was pushing the special and when the lady next to me ordered the chicken (which I had planned to order), he tried to talk her out of it saying you could get a dish like that anywhere. When it came my turn, I said “Please don't try to talk me out of the Brick Chicken!” He didn't say a word.“

“Great coffee fast service before ANYTHING SIGN SHEET FOR HOW MANY IN YOUR PARTY HAD THE REYN SPECIAL ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ THANK YOU MS.LAURA YOUR FABULOUS DAHLING'S 👌“

“Great place for Korean BBQ“

“Our server was awesome... her recommendations were spot on! the food surpassed our expectations! exceptional...The ambiance was relaxing for a Friday night and perfect for our friend's birthday celebration. thank you for making it so special. Very happy party of 4 enjoyed dinner at Marina!“

“Old school. Order at the window then pick up and eat at a table inside or out. Very fast service and delicious. My bottomless pit son could only eat half of his breakfast burrito! Lots of things on the menu, but it was our first time so we stuck with the famous burritos.
Can't wait to go back again.“

“almond and hazelnut butter!!!“

“Very friendly with excellent service 💯💯“

“Wish I had taken photos of our food but it wouldn't have done it much justice. Pizza is delicious - every single bite. Had wings and Ceaser Salad. Service is hit and miss. I've dined here several times and two nights ago the bouncer was giving hella odd vibes. Food is worth it though lol.“

“Great food and drinks. Nice and clean restaurant with friendly staff and fast-service.

Con: Small parking lot and limited menu

Pros: Delicious food and drinks. The adult Arnold Palmer was the best, the chicken pesto pizza, the chicken buffalo bites are a must-try.“

“A nice place for your food eating and ordering. Trusted and tested my many happy clients.“

“It was wonderful! Historic surroundings (ask about it). The staff provided assistance with the menu and offered valuable suggestions. The service was great and pizza was quickly delivered without compromise. Created with quality ingredients and crust with a nice chew. I highly recommend this one.“

“I recommend for my friends and partners, a suitable place....nice meal🥰“

“R u Serious!!! An unbelievable flavor explosion created by the chef at SEED. Gott be the best chile relleno of my life! The chile, the cilantro, the greens a robust farm fresh egg. BAMM!!“

“Best hot Pastrami around! Easily feeds 2 people or the same person 2 days, like me :)“

“Cool atmosphere, great music, best bottomless mimosas, & Felix makes the best espresso martinis 🥰“

“I like stopping in to the Panda Express Innovation Kitchen as sometimes you can get a sneak peek of new dishes to come.

On this visit I ordered the Sesame Chicken and got it with quinoa fried rice. I appreciated that the quinoa fried rice felt lighter but also filling.“

“No amount of poorly-written AI reviews can do this awesome place justice, so as always, you're getting a human-written review from a human-experienced event. Yesenia was our server and she was a 10/10 all-around super professional server from the moment we set fot in the establishment. The food itself is unmatched. I have been to their San Gabriel location at least 3 or 4 times and this place is just as good in terms of flavor and quality. The ambiance is great, the server even went as far as lowering the window blinds after some new customers walked in and they sat close to one of the windows. Tsukemen will forever remain as my favorite kind of Ramen (it's basically cold noodles that you dip in a hot and salty broth served in a small bowl on the side). One of the assistant managers offered to help me in how to eat it but I was already familiar with the concept, so I thanked her for her offer and proceeded to eat. The fried chicken is another ball game, it's literally Japanese fried chicken but they also add a touch of some sort of honey-based syrup that makes it 100 times better. My parents had the tonkotsu and it was great too. Truly a remarkable experience in the heart of Old Town Pasadena.“

“Cute place. Quiet. Warm in the window table area. Coffee is really flavorful. There are dairy and sweetener options, lots of yummy looking foods. A little pricey when you add the dairy alternatives. The staff is friendly and the decor is really beautiful.“

“Food and drinks are delicious, as they are at all Tartines. This one is my favorite because of the people who work there, especially Whitten and Emily, who are always welcoming and warm. I don't even live in this neighborhood, and I head here most mornings because it's a great start to the day. Highly recommend morning buns, veggie quiche, and country bread, which I pick up along with my daily cappuccino.“

“We went to this Panda Express because the one in south pasadena had a rat at their location. This one is super clean, the service was quick, and the people working there were great. The food was fresh and amazing for fast food! Def coming here again.“

“Some of the best breakfast burritos and lattes I’ve ever had. I see people complaining about the prices, but for the quality and organic ingredients it’s not. When you dine in the tater tots give the best crunch which changes the whole experience. Adding the refried beans also gives an extra boost.

The service is also AMAZING. You can tell whoever is managing this place is doing a great job because the staff is always happy and kind. MJ is so sweet and always brings so much light and joy to my day after visiting. Chesca and Emma are also true gems and the sweetest people to engage with. I come not only for the joy of the food, but the love of these beautiful women. My day is always much brighter after a breakfast burrito and smiles from them.“

“This was our first visit to this location. We’d been once before to True Food Kitchen in Las Vegas a few years ago and I liked that location a bit better. My husband and I both enjoyed our meals. I had the Ancient Grain bowl. I think the presentation could have been a bit more thought out, but it was very tasty! Definite would dine there again when in the area. (We are from out of town)“

“I'm 1/3 through the menu trying different entrees. So far, every meal has been a tasty treat! The food is always hot, flavorful, colorful . . . and delish!😋“

“Love all the options and fresh deliciousness!“

“Loved it! Excellent luleh kebab! Will definitely go back again!“

“One of my fav sushi spots in Pasadena & I’d say we only have about 3 or 4 of them. I’ve been in 3 times so far and I’ve always had the same server, she’s really friendly and attentive. The Chirashi lunch special (in photo) is spectacular! The fish is so fresh and when you open up the bottom compartment, there are pickles and some other fish bits bits (?) inside. It really is so good and if you love fish, you CANNOT go wrong w this order. It’s also a very generous portion. This is probably something I’ll stick to because when I tried their rolls I wasn’t nearly as impressed. Their rolls were good but nothing memorable. I’ll continue to go back and order sashimi and the chirashi bowl though.“

“I’m big fan of wood fire Pizza. Finally a halal spot. MashaAllah pizza is amazing. I love the crust. And the pizzas are light, so we got a couple options for me and my family.“

“Great food and so friendly service.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We go for the trout and beef koobideh! Fantastic food and warm, friendly service.“

“The Braised Beef and Mushrooms with Mashed Potatoes . Mashed potatoes were so creamy I could had eaten a whole bowl of it by itself but Beef and mushrooms Just took it to whole other level“

“Terrific restaurant. Great food in an inviting atmosphere. Exceptional pancakes and coffee. The service was notable for a diner. The seating was comfortable, and the replicas of famous paintings was cool. It is worth mentioning again that the pancakes are head and shoulders above any other that I've tried. I would go out of my way to return to Russell's.“

“Owner employs his son who violently abused his girlfriend on the job here.. stay safe and do not support.“

“Hidden gem, this place has some of the best pizza I’ve ever had in the area. I tried the Margherita, really great balance of flavors. Not too heavy on the sauce or cheese, and it didn’t give me that heavy, greasy feeling while eating it like a normal pizza does. This tells me they’re using good quality ingredients. Worth driving out to, I’m definitely coming back!“

“Just kind of wandered into this place. It was clean, and a good selection of breakfast and light lunch fare (sandwiches, salads, etc). I had the vegan sandwich that came with a side of mixed greens. Everything was super fresh, the tempeh was flavorful, I loved the creamy spread, and the sourdough was perfectly toasted. And not a bad price! You order at the front and they give you a number, and the food came out pretty quickly. The staff were super friendly. Not a huge space, but there several tables open at 12:45pm on a Monday. 1 hour parking on the street (they might also have a garage, but I parked on the street).“
