12 Best Vegan Restaurants in Allston

“One of the best full-service restaurants in Boston!“

“Decided to walk through Allston on a grody, misty afternoon and look for some food. Walked in by chance and at my SO’s insistence that we give it a look. I loved everything about the aesthetic, and enjoyed the soft music playing in the background. Being able to choose the ingredients I wanted - knowing they were organic and that they looked more than delicious raw...that was the absolute best part. The gentleman at the front was supremely helpful and answered any question thrown at him - by anyone in the shop. The price was more than worth the amount of food received, and the care extended to us as guests was wonderful. I absolutely would recommend anyone to give this a try. Don’t hesitate to ask a question, you will definitely get an answer. :)“

“Garlic noodles!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“I get the same thing every time I go and I absolutely love it. The waitress that we normally have, I forget her name. She always makes some sort of recommendation. So we do get something new each time. I trust her recommendations. I love there, mule, drink. You can just always come on hot, fresh, tasty food. Each and every time“

“Blue Sakura Shabu All You Can Eat is a lively hot pot spot in Allston offering an AYCE experience with a wide selection of meats, seafood, vegetables, and sides. It’s a popular choice for group dinners, especially with friends or classmates looking for a filling meal.

The space is modern and energetic, with individual burners built into each table for a more personal hot pot experience. It can get busy during dinner hours and weekends, but the atmosphere adds to the fun, social feel of the meal. Service is generally attentive, with staff bringing out orders steadily and checking in to swap out broths or refill items when needed.

The menu offers a good variety of thinly sliced beef, pork, chicken, seafood, and classic hot pot additions like fish balls, tofu, mushrooms, and leafy greens. The meat quality is solid for AYCE, and portions come out quickly enough to keep the meal moving. Broth options range from lighter house broths to spicier selections, allowing you to customize the experience. While it may not be the most premium hot pot in the area, the value is strong for the price point and the unlimited format makes it easy to try a bit of everything.

Overall, Blue Sakura is a reliable AYCE hot pot destination in Allston, great for casual group outings, celebrations, or when you’re just really craving a big, comforting meal.“

“Pleasant employees! Wonderful good was really great!!“

“Mala Restaurant is a well known Chinese restaurant serving mala dry pot and other spicy dishes near the Packard's Corner area of Allston.

The service is quick, there is smaller tables at the location so it may not be for larger parties, but take-out is an easy process and comes out quick.

We got the mala dry pot, squid skewer, and szechuan noodles. The szechuan noodles was packed to the brim, though all the oil sat at the bottom so mixing it within the container was not feasible, and it was dry on top without the mixing. The squid skewer was good, chewy with a nice flavor and seasoning. The mala dry pot stood out, not too spicy but can add more spice if needed. The portion sizes is good, with the small being in one container and large being in two. For the price, they give you a decent amount.“

“We have been ordering beans from Wolf and the gang for a couple of months now. the coffee is amazing and the customer service is top-notch - no matter how many times my wife picks the wrong delivery schedule! She suggested I write that.“

“Mala Spicy Pot lets you mix and match your favorite meats and veggies exactly how you like them! With adjustable spice levels, it pairs perfectly with a late-night drink to wash all your worries away. The ultimate choice for a midnight snack!“

“Soo, I never had pizza with a tomato slice on it but I was pleasantly surprised 😮. It is actually pretty good and taste like a pizza 🍕. If you want to try something new give it a try! Ignore the foggy video the pizza was warm when it was delivered.“

“I needed a quick snack while I was waiting for a family member to get her hair done next door. I ordered the baba ghanouj, which comes with pita. Incredibly delicious, homemade baba! Chunks of smoky eggplant, fresh herbs, so flavorful - perhaps the best I've had, and I love this dish. I want it come back now and try their entrees and other spreads. Highly recommend.“
