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!!!!!“

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

“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.“

“If you know, you know.

This little hidden gem serves great Indonesian and Hawaiian comfort food classics. You truly can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but if it’s your first time, you must try the crispy fried chicken and the Indonesian fried rice.

This place is clearly run by people who care about what they do, and it shows in the quality of the product.

There’s not a lot of space inside, so it’s generally a takeout spot, but don’t let that deter you from trying it.“

“The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating... they called before we arrived to discuss the notes we entered when booking, and continued to perform at that level throughout. Food was very good, nice ambience, really all in all a lovely experience.“

“amazing food, service and ambiance!“

“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!“

“Great place to grab food and drinks before seeing something at the playhouse. The food is on the rich side (rich sauces), but I love the ambiance and the service was good. Our favorites: the crispy potatoes, the cauliflower, and the pork chop.“

“Delighted to see them come back. We were there last night for the third time since their opening with friends who live in Orange County and had driven specifically to be there. Saying they were not disappointed would be an under statement. Happy and relieved that our search and disappointment for Indian Cuisine has ended.“

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

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

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

“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!!!“

“Great place for Korean BBQ“

“Ohhhhhhh so good. I think I met the owner behind the counter, making our lunch. He is making his Armenian grandmother (his tatik) proud. He loves his customers. This is both a catering kitchen and walk-up restaurant with a few tables.
Only three items on the restaurant menu. Got one of everything and split it. You can tell it’s all hand made. The dumplings are flavored perfectly, and maybe a bit of mint on top? On the herbaceous and acidic side, not sweet, but also richer and deeper than a meatball. Can get spicy or regular. Some of the dumplings have crunchy edges. Really unique and tasty. Need 100 more.
The cheesy layered bread was INCREDIBLE. Like. Fly across the country incredible. Flakey, salty, buttery. Melty. Chewy. Crisp. Perfect everywhere.
The salmon sandwich is generous and seasoned well, cooked well, and holds together well. Really really great and I want to go back already.“

“Spicy jalapeño cocktail 🍸💕“

“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!“

“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.“

“Delicious and nice place.“

“Artfully packed & DELICIOUS!“

“This place is delicious. The price for a breakfast burrito is relatively cheap. The salsa is also delicious. The staff is fun if you speak Spanish (which I do). I put 4 stars because of price, food taste, and the experience I had there. Even the restroom was clean. I would go back and eat there again hands down.

The only downside is the flies that fly around. They don't land on your food but they do just like to land on the table.“

“A Hidden Gem: Superba Snacks + Coffee

Superba Snacks + Coffee is an absolute gem! From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that perfectly blends casual comfort with a touch of modern elegance. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home.

The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The breakfast burrito is a standout, with a perfect balance of creamy and crunchy textures. Their pastries look amazing. And the coffee? It’s some of the best in town—rich, smooth, and expertly brewed.

What really sets Superba apart, though, is the attention to detail and the quality of ingredients. You can tell that everything is made with care and a true passion for food. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger a little longer, savoring every bite and sip.

If you’re looking for a place that combines great food, excellent service, and a relaxed vibe, Superba Snacks + Coffee is a must-visit. Whether you’re catching up with friends, grabbing a quick bite, or just enjoying a quiet moment with a coffee, Superba is the perfect spot. Highly recommended!“

“Very friendly with excellent service 💯💯“

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

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

“This is one of the best place I love to eat panda express. The fried rice. The teriyaki. Honey walnut shrimp it’s good. An orange chicken. I’m guarantee you is the best place to hang out and chill. As a YouTube contractor. I’m guarantee you you love this place to eat 100%.“

“My significant other and I treated ourselves to 90 minutes of normal at The George and strongly urge you to do the same! Food, truffle fries, pork cop and salmon all delicious! Angela was our server and she was attentive and charming! The atmosphere was a comforting refuge. So take a break and support The George and have a wonderful meal with family and friends!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Food is a bit pricey for portion I do agree and for that reason I’ll give a 4 over a 5, but it’s for sure a top 3 Breakfast burrito in the Los Angeles area. Might be the best depending on specific preferences. I do believe it’s worth the hype and a must try“

“I still remember Veggie Grill when they were first starting out in Southern California years ago, down in the O.C. Over the years, their menu has changed, but they are still dependable and I really appreciate that you can get a 100% Vegan, tasty meal and fast, when you're in a hurry. It beats any national chain of real fast food (which is so unhealthy). Their current menu still has a few of their original favorites. The Santa Fe Chik'n Sandwich with guac, southwest mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickled onions on a wheat bun is still fire and a must! Still crunchy and well done. :) Their Lentil Soup is another great item, high in fiber, healthy and well seasoned. The Smokey Mushroom Tacos with marinated asada mushrooms, shredded lettuce, pickled onions, guac, Baja sauce on warm organic corn tortillas are satisfying. I'm sad they removed their Kale side order (you used be able to get it steamed or sauteed), because that is pure healthy vegetable deliciousness.“

“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!😋“

“Guys I literally thought some of the photos must be fake... they're not. I got exquisite latte art (good coffee too!), beautiful plates of delicious food. I have no idea why this place only has 88 reviews, but the 4.8 stars is accurate! On top of that, it's a very cute location. Please try out Old Town Caffe!

We got the Salmon Bagel, Sweet Latte, Ube Frozen drink, and Egg Avocado Toast and they all exceeded expectations :)“

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

“Love all the options and fresh deliciousness!“

“Great food and so friendly service.“

“Was recommended this place by a colleague and it was AMAZING! I’ve gone now twice in one week. Especially love the Detroit style and the two layers of pepperoni. Very quaint location with good vibes but best of all delicious food.

Parking: Small parking lot: better off on the street“

“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“

“4 of us ate at the new Craft at LA Live but I can't find it here so recommending them on the Pasadena location. This was the second night they had been open last Saturday. Service was outstanding. Judy did a terrific job taking care of us and the head chef and owner cam by to welcome us. Food was outstanding too. Great place.“

“Absolute perfection. The food, the service and the atmosphere are outstanding. The most buttery, delicious salmon I’ve ever had…couldn’t stop eating the salmon hand rolls. Every single thing had incredible flavor and melted in your mouth, staring with the garlic edamame. Try it out, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Focaccia bread was freshly made and warm, and the greens of the salad also very fresh and crisp. The portobello mushroom in the mushroom sandwich was very flavorful. My only reservation is the sun dried tomato spread instead of actual sun dried tomatoes. Very healthy plant based choices.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“The asparagus fries. Crispy & not greasy. You can appreciate the asparagus flavor. We split the Thai spicy salad. It was spicy, but the Thai basil & the peanut dressing were the stars. It didn't need the chicken. The best was the ribeye melt. The meat was cooked perfectly.The sourdough was crusted with parmesan. With a side of horseradish that was perfectly paired for this sandwich.“

“Ordered a small lemon bar ice. Thought $8.50 was a bit pricey for a small. Oh, it's HUGE. It was a meal in and of itself. It was very sweet, and was enough to share with some else really. Would like a smaller size to be available. Hit the spot on a sunny warm afternoon, but I think I'll be skipping supper. 😆“

“Would recommend this place. Especially the falafel, might be the best I've ever had! Very crispy on the outside with a soft and tasty filling. Big portions, we had enough to also bring home some of it for breakfast the day after. Liked the variety of all the different food such as feta, salad, humus, pita, lentil soup. Also very kind and genuine family who runs the place, thanks a lot!“
