Stopped here for a quick bite and ended up enjoying a full meal. Hong Kong Chicken was incredible! Monkey latte was delicious

Interesting menu. Bahn mi and popcorn chicken were solid. The Philly sandwich didn’t have enough filling. Remember liking the pasta a lot.

My husband and I are not vegan and we love this place - it’s on our dinner restaurant rotation. Staff are very kind, food is consistently good, and the few times we eat there, feels community-based and has a chill ambiance. We particularly love the buffalo cauliflower and the vegetable heavy dishes 💗
Very long day working the Kaiser strike 🪧 how restorative a visit here is! I did not realize it was Vegan until arrival. The reviews were so strong I was on a fast track. Vegans know how to balance sources of protein. Just be open minded about that and give it a whirl. You will not only survive but indeed THRIVE. Thanks Grains!!

Went to the pre soft opening of Grains on Adams ave. Saw the post from friends on IG. We had the a few of the new items and it was delicious. It’s the weekend menu for now brunch 12-3 pm. Not sure if it will be all day menu in the future.great quaint spot friendly environment, chill spot. Will definitely return. We usually go to Madi but I can say the wait is much less and the foods and drinks are above par.

Some of the worst food we had on our San Diego trip. I’m sure this place will be closed in a year.

Slow. Food is greasy and salty. Melted chicken sandwich has horrible taste. They’re using the cheapest type of bread.

My husband, son & I literally just left, & the pan seared fettuccine made my soul so happy. It was the comfiest of comfort foods & I wish I found out about this place sooner. Highly recommend even if you aren’t vegan.
Food is fantastic. Order at counter. Employees are nice. Very clean and chic. Portions are reasonable but not huge. Bahn Mi sandwich was a little different from other versions, but delicious. I would like to see a little more diakon though. Salad vinaigrette was out of the park awesome.

I was visiting San Diego and I was looking for vegan places to eat when I was googling I randomly stumbled upon grains and I’m so glad I did! The food was amazing and I really recommend the pineapple and ginger kombucha.
Im a little sad that this shop is not around where I live 🥹
Overall wonderful service and amazing food! :)

Panang curry was perfectly cooked and amazing textures. With the apple pie cider, Best meal I’ve had in a long while.

To say I’m obsessed is an understatement!! The Popcorn “Chicken”, Philly Cheese Sandwich, and Pan Seared Fettuccine are so good. My husband loves the Banh Mi and Thai Yellow Curry. Anytime friends or family visit, we take them here, and everything we’ve tried has been delicious. I always can’t wait to come back! 😋
