8 Best Vegan Restaurants near Shawnee

“I’ve lived in Shawnee since 2016 and somehow I’ve never stopped by this place despite knowing it was here. After a neighbor and her friend were raving about the stir fry, we knew we had to try it too. Everything was amazing! I’ll start with the appetizers: If you’re a fan of the still-closed (as of 7/2024) Shawnee Pho then you’ll love the “Fresh Rolls” here at Saya Thai (comparable to SP’s Spring Rolls). Get extra sauce and load up! Moving on to the main course, I went for the Garlic Stir Fry with a Spicy Level 1 because I love spicy food but not so spicy I can’t taste my food. They have a scale of 5 for theirs, and my neighbor recommended a 2.5 so my husband went for a 3 with his Crying Tiger — which is a 12oz steak. I don’t think I could handle the continuous building of spice from his, but it was absolutely fantastic! Mine was moreso flavoring than spicy, so I’ll be doing at least a 2 next time. Desert: We don’t normally make it a habit, especially when we’re so full we have leftovers, but this place was too amazing not to. We went for the fried bananas and ice cream. I wish there was more chocolate and caramel but only because I don’t like coconut so I skipped the ice cream. The bananas are so gooey but the texture doesn’t get weird. So worth the price! As for the service and the atmosphere, everything was great. The service was perfect and the staff was very kind. I also really loved how the place was set up and decorated. Very simple and great lighting. I’ll definitely be back before I leave for Denver this weekend, and again when I return!“

“Awesome 5 star bowls but at their Norman location their chair cushions seem to have never been cleaned ever and are super nasty!“

“I like the hot green tea pot stickers and smoked salmon sushi mm“

“Very fresh vegetables and meat in the Grill 5 Combo with a great char to all. The Vietnamese egg rolls will be a repeat order. Unique and great taste. Glad Shawnee Pho built back!“

“My fiancée and I both had the chopped steak with vegetables. I had salad and he had the rice pilaf. Both with shrimp. That chopped steak was melt in your mouth good , the steamed veggies were perfectly steamed and fork tender. Hands down a new favorite restaurant for us!
Bryce tonight was your second night and you did a great job. Thank you“

“Great food and great camaraderie amongst other people“

“I was in Shawnee last week. As a vegan, I had planned to eat at The Owl Shoppe for a black bean burger. It was not available on Saturday and I was so disappointed. The chef overheard and said she would make one for me. It was truly the best I've ever had. It was smothered with sweet potato mash, red onions, chimichuri, and other delectable vegetables. I can't say enough about the excellent taste and quality of the food, and the commitment to excellence these women have. Go eat there!!!“

“The food here is always delicious and fresh and the staff is awesome! You have to give them a try.“
