50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Gladstone

“We have been going to Lotus Hot Pot since it opened. Anytime we crave hot pot we head that way all the way from Independence. Restaurant is always clean, service is great and food is delicious! Hannah always makes sure to come out and greet her guest and Lina gives amazing service with a smile. Love the new all you can eat menu, just the right amount of serving (not like other places) and when you need more just order more!“

“The people here are very friendly and helpful. I was there on a Tuesday for their special prices. When it came time to pay, the cashier told me the amount which sounded correct. However, I questioned why it was not showing on the credit card machine. It was blank and they told me to tap in the middle. I was not real comfortable with charging a “blank check”. Another employee told me the amount was on the cash register window which was covered over with a sign hanging there. So I went ahead and tapped.

The total was in the mid $40s. Several tip options came up, with the lowest one being $6 and some change. It was erroneously labeled as 10%. 10% would have been around $4.50. I questioned that and they had no firm answer. (I suppose it was 10% on the non Tuesday special prices). I asked if I could fill in a custom amount and was told no. The employees were very friendly so I left the $6+ tip for them. The entire cash register experience seemed unsettling.

I can not recall if the two who made my pizzas put on gloves first. One was the cashier and the other came out of the back.“

“We just ate here for the first time and first of all the pizza was delicious. Maybe best pizza I’ve eaten ever. But backstory, my mom just passed away a week and a half ago and we’ve been on the struggle bus and our server was so incredibly kind to us and there was a magician they hired walking around doing tricks for tables. He was not only amazing and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing but more importantly, he brought us joy to us in a dark time and I will forever be such a fan of this restaurant. It was so needed for myself and my little family and I can’t wait to recommend this place to all. ❤️ Thank you again for a happy night.“

“I'm so grateful for this hole in the wall Vietnamese restaurant! It is always delicious, especially the Bahn Mi and Bun with grilled pork/eggroll + peanut sauce. Spencer and his wife are always so kind and make sure my order is correct. I also enjoy the relaxing music when I dine in as compared to most restaurant's loud music when I'm chatting with friends. Please check this place out!!“

“Visiting KC from out of town and we are always on the lookout for restaurants where my kiddo with alpha gal syndrome can eat safely. Treehugger is a winner! The food was great, and it’s super family friendly. The lady who worked the register was so friendly. Really great place!“

“Had a great experience loved the food will recommend to friends and family“

“My boyfriend and I visited for our anniversary. our service was phenomenal, cocktails tasty, and the was in our top favorite meals we have ever eaten! He had the Pork Chop and I had Prime Rib! Very Good!!“

“Everything is delicious! Loved it!“

“Always a great experience! Good food fast! Servers are the best. We eat in there at least 3x a week. Fair prices and good quality. Best North of the river. See ya tomorrow!!“

“This was my go-to spot every single week when I lived in Kansas City five years ago. Since then, I’ve lived in Georgia, California, and Washington, and I currently reside in Seattle—yet this place remains the #1 Vietnamese restaurant I’ve ever been to. I am so jealous of the people who live nearby. Highly recommended!“

“we had a great experience I'll definitely be back!“

“Amazing food and great atmosphere!!“

“Had such an amazing experience with Stephanie. I had never been before and she walked me through the menu, was personable and suggested the tenderloin sandwich. Love when you have to add an extra bum because it was so large. Will be back again.“

“Great coffee, perfecto customer service and food!!“

“Pros: The menu, prices, atmosphere, professionalism

Cons: parking

This is one of the restaurants that brings me back to my childhood roots. The spices and seasonings will hit you delightfully in the face upon entering. The lights here are subtle and elegant with mood lighting enhancing the experience. This is authentic food so anyone looking for an “Americanized” menu for their palette it will not be found here.

Professionalism is not an issue here. Delightful conversation and attentive.

I have seen large groups of 9+ here so the location is accommodating on groups.“

“The place is as nicely done. Staff were excellent. Tour was great. Enjoyed the whole experience. Would recommend it to everyone.“

“Amazing flavors to simple foods and the lemonade is superb.“

“Amazing homemade ice cream and waffle cones! We were very impressed and will be back.“

“Everything is so delicious 👍“

“Went to Cliff’s last night while in KC for a volleyball tournament for our granddaughter. She has celiac disease.
They were accommodating with a broad GF menu and ALL of the food was fantastic!
Best wings I’ve had in years, the corn chowder soup was amazing, the pasta and sandwiches were all wonderful!
We can’t wait to come back!
Thank you!!😊“

“Perfectly and freshly prepared menu items that just called on Spain! Absolutely delicious, charming surroundings and immaculate service. Luke and Megan made La Bodega totally memorable with their charm and polite kindness⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“THE best place to eat at the river market, bestie and I go every time we’re there. She gets shawarma I get the grilled salmon and we always leave with pita and spicy hummus. The employees are so welcoming and it is the only restaurant I will ever finish my rice in 10/10 & go get the baklava from next door“

“We went here three times yesterday. Yes, three times. We were at an event around the corner and were able to walk over. We ate at 5 of the venders. All were fabulous. Mushroom burger, paneer wrap, avocado toast, curry fries, focaccia, street corn, and ice cream. All the staff were so kind and engaging. It was easy to find many GF options too. Just wish there would have been more heater lamps since it was cold.“

“super awesome place. great food and super nice people. we will definitely return and will always recommend it to anyone.“

“I couldn't help but notice a review about 13 or 14 down the list here from back in July from a Katie Lee. Because you thought it was necessary to write and post such a childish and scathing review of your horrible experience at this establishment that clearly has It out for you and your family blah blah blah. I felt the need to tell you to go get fucked and get struck by lightning or eaten by sharks...... reminded me why I moved away from liberty years ago and occasionally go back for things like a nice laid back well served lunch on the square. And that's about it...“

“I never expected to find such a gem scrolling for breakfast on google. Their breakfast menu brings a beautiful blend of culinary fine dining with home style comfort food. The owners are so kind and genuine quick to strike up a conversation. And their house made chai tea is absolutely to die for, I will definitely be back time and time again for that alone. I can’t wait to come back and try their specials!“

“my FAVORITE place for special occasion brunches- my birthday, mother's day, etc everything is always delicious and we love the small business support in the brands shared in the front of the restaurant and in the menu options!“

“Stopped here for breakfast before leaving KC - so worth it! The cinnamon roll, gooey butter cake, and breakfast hash were delicious! This place was highly recommended and I can see why. The hot mocha latte I got was great too! The place was packed and busy but they weee FAST on getting food and drinks out.“

“My daughter vegan and myself non vegan enjoyed this restaurant equally. Amazing food and service. I can’t wait to return 💞“

“Pleasant visit. Enjoyed our coffee on the rooftop patio which made for a fun experience, employees were kind and helpful.“

“Good food, good price, great service“

“I had the grilled cabo chicken wrap..🤌🤌🤌 so freaking good! It's nice to have a healthier alternative for wraps and bowls and the prices aren't bad either! Definitely gonna be trying more stuff.“

“Arthur!!!! I so wish you could deliver to Florida ! I don’t miss a ton of places from home . However , we came there at least 3 times a week , and it was always fantastic ! Every single aspect ! So delicious 😋. Still hoping for delivery lol, but if I ever come home you can bet I’ll be there ! Hope you all are well!“

“Staff, dinner, wine, and ambiance were all amazing. Great NYE dinner! The scallops were cooked perfectly! Highly recommend to all!“

“Amazing food, quick service, and friendly staff.“

“The strong smell of liquid smoke made me wonder how it was cooked. The brisket was dry, when I added the sauce the sandwich was enjoyable. Will order again. Delivery was quick.“

“My husband and I love coming to MOD pizza, the service is always exceptional and the pizza is tasty! I want to mention specifically the two gentlemen working the early afternoon today 1/13/26. They were both incredibly kind and helpful! I wish I’d gotten their names.“

“Absolutely .. Great Atmosphere.. Friendly From The Moment 💯“

“Truly incredible meal. We went for a special occasion and had two amazing filets. Cannot recommend the Filet Pierpont enough. The Zinfandel soaked figs….chefs kiss. The cocktails as well- any of the old fashioned drinks, can’t go wrong. Don’t miss out on the corn and crab bisque either. An experience! We also had a very accommodating waiter, Zach, who made the the whole night memorable. We hope to visit again when we’re back in town. Thank you!!!“

“This was the best breakfast and service I’ve had in years. If you have not tried this restaurant you need to. Absolutely delicious. Our server, Riley, was so wonderful and attentive. Can’t express how awesome it truly was.“

“Very cool vibe, excellent drinks and food“

“Every time I buy from Kobi-Q, whether it is there Grand street location or this new Westport location, I’m greeted well and an treated like I am an acclaimed guest. This is a definite pro when coming to their new sushi bar. If you have any questions on what things are, what is appropriate to share, what is a good item for newcomers, and what is off the beaten path, they help you in anyway they can to make the best possible dining experience. I love Kobi-Q on Grand st. And they haven’t let me down the 3-4 times I’ve been privileged enough to enjoy their sushi bar in Westport. Please come, have an open mind on sushi, and enjoy it. It’s an experience that I’ve had with plenty of good friends. <3“
