50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Fairfax

“Mala hot pot. Ganghood fried chicken. String beans w/ pickled cabbage. Guangzhou hand pulled noodles. Rinse and repeat ??
Seriously my family’s favorite Chinese spot in the DMV. The spice levels will kick you in the pants and it’s glorious.“

“Amazing food great atmosphere and they except reservations“

“Wonderful food, the trout was amazing and so was the shrimp and crab fritter appetizer. Our waiter Matthew was seriously the best and sweetest waiter I’ve ever had in my life. We are here for vacation but we will without a doubt come back here the next time we are in the area.“

“The food here is amazing. So many good flavors and a variety of spice levels. The service is impeccable. Ask for Narayan. He is very friendly, can make great suggestions and treats you like family. We really enjoyed his personality and service.“

“Great food, nice atmosphere.“

“$5 extra broth charge? Seriously? I've been going to Jinya for years. Never had an issue before. It's always been a great place. Today, there was not enough broth in the $18 bowl of ramen that I ordered. It was unusually pretty low. I asked the waiter for some extra broth. When I got the bill, I noticed I was charged an extra $5 without being told I would be charged $5 more. C'mon Jinya. You can do better than that. Really good way to lose your customers!! Glad you're not the only good ramen place in NOVA!“

“Ingredients were fresh. Sashimi was very fresh. Mafia sushi roll was the best. Spicy tuna and osaka was yummy. Dragon was alright. Wish the sushi rolls were thinner and a little more well made. The special chefs bonus at the end was yummy! Will definitely be back tho.“

“Carlos is the very best! He is a great server and took care of us. My daughter's birthday was awesome because of him! Kudos to this location which also takes GREAT care of its Beer Club members! We'll be back soon!“

“The service was wonderful. Servers explained the process so it was easy for newcomers to shabushabu. Food was also good. We got the large rib order and the scallop and small rib combo. It was more than enough.

Vegetarian options: Vegetariun options are limited as shabushabu is a meat based dish.

Parking: Free and ample parking“

“Excellent service! Good food and great outdoor atmosphere.“

“Craving a sweet treat on campus but looking for something vegan-friendly? Look no further than Nu Vegan Cafe at George Mason University's Johnson Center! I recently indulged in their Lotus Biscoff ice cream, and let me tell you, it was phenomenal. The creamy texture and rich flavor perfectly captured the essence of the beloved cookie butter, leaving me wanting more.

But beyond the delicious ice cream, what truly impressed me was the outstanding service, especially on a Thursday near closing time. The staff members were incredibly friendly and welcoming, even as the day wound down. They were happy to answer my questions about the menu and made sure I had everything I needed for a enjoyable experience.

Nu Vegan Cafe isn't just about stellar desserts, though. They offer a wide variety of plant-based dishes, from savory sandwiches and wraps to hearty bowls and refreshing smoothies. The cafe itself boasts a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed study session or catching up with friends.

Whether you're a vegan student, a health-conscious local, or simply looking for a delicious and friendly spot on campus, Nu Vegan Cafe is a must-try! With its delectable food, warm atmosphere, and exceptional service, it's sure to become a new favorite.

Highly recommended!“

“wow what a gem!!! this place is going to do good business!!!!!!! the entrees ..desserts...service .....everything is amazing!!!!“

“A cozy shop with delicious food. The spices were on point, and absolutely love how hot and fresh everything is served, especially the bread. You can tell everything is made right on the spot. If you want a healthy alternative to fast food that's fresh and won't break the bank, I recommend checking this place out. The owner is also very sweet and friendly, great customer service ?“

“Good food and drinks. Manager came to our table to make sure everything was good.“

“A Hidden Gem for Coffee and Sandwich Lovers De Clieu, a charming coffee and sandwich shop tucked away in the heart of Old Town Fairfax has quickly become my go-to spot for a perfect cup of coffee and sandwich when I'm in the area. Coffee and Organic Teas: (5/5) De Clieu's coffee, Organic Tea and drink options are nothing short of exceptional. Their baristas are clearly passionate about their craft, as every cup is brewed with precision and care, from their Drip, French Press, Chemex pour overs and Organic Teas. The espresso is rich and full-bodied, and they offer premium roasted beans and brewing methods to cater to every palate. I've tried their lattes, cappuccinos, teas, and cold brews, and I've never been disappointed. Whether you're a coffee connoisseur or just enjoy a good cold brew, De Clieu has you covered. Sandwiches Plus: (5/5) The sandwiches, bakery items, and Gelato at De Clieu are a delightful surprise. Made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, each bite is a burst of flavor. I've worked my way through much of their menu, and each creation has been more delicious than the last. From the Spicy Swine and Honey Bread to the inventive vegetarian options, there's something for everyone. The bread is always perfectly toasted, and the combinations of flavors and textures are superb. Overall Impression: (5/5) De Clieu is a coffee and sandwich shop that embodies all the qualities I look for in a great café. It's a place that combines exceptional coffee, delectable sandwiches, sides, and a welcoming atmosphere, all at a price that won't leave your wallet empty. Whether you're a regular looking for your daily caffeine fix or a traveler seeking a local gem, Delieu is the answer. It's clear the owner takes pride in what they do and how they train their team, and it shows in every aspect of their operation. I can't recommend this place highly enough, and I'm excited to see it thrive and become a beloved part of the community. There are ample parking options available in the vicinity as well.“

“Everything about this place is amazing!“

“Great food and customer service.“

“Absolutely amazing ambiance, staff and the fish is to die for. The fatty tuna literally melts in your mouth. We can’t wait to go back.“

“- The restaurant is about the size of one unit of shophouse.
- There are two sides of booth seating, with approximately 8-10 tables (each table can seat 4 people).
- The menu offers a variety of dishes, including rice, noodles, and fried snacks.
- The restroom is located at the end of the hallway.
Review:

[My experience]
- I ordered the ramyeon and fried chicken wings. The RAMYEON had chewy noodles and a decent flavor. / The FRIED CHICKEN WINGS were quite large (about 8 pieces) and had a crispy outer layer, but the taste was average.
- The restaurant was a bit dark and felt slightly stuffy.
- Their service is active and satisfying.

Parking: Parking is plenty in front of the shop.“

“Great food. amazing service“

“Attention to the details were a ten. The ambiance and the food were superb.“

“In a world where exceptional service is increasingly rare, Shaun’s performance stood out as a gold standard. He truly embodied what it means to be a top-notch server—someone who enhances the dining experience through a perfect blend of personality, skill, and dedication. A 10/10 server, Shaun is the kind of person who makes you want to return, knowing that your dining experience will be in good hands.“

“We were there in March! Had a very good experience there! The food was delicious, the service was great and the prices were good! they are serving the big portions so we took out our orders and eat them for dinner next day“

“My family is borderline addicted to Playa Bowls. I try something new each time and my wife swears by the Coca Berry. Staff is always super friendly, even though this place can get very busy. If you order through the app, know that the food is probably ready in half the quoted time, so ask at the counter rather than wait around.

Vegetarian options: Pretty sure everything is “plant based”“

“I have not yet been physically into PeachWave, but I love getting delivery from this place. It's SO delicious. My all time favorite items are the Butterscotch Whip TM & the crêpes, I like to build mine with strawberries inside and marshmallow sauce / hot fudge on the outside. My husband loved the frozen yogurt. 10/10 highly recommend this place!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Fairfax, bakery, and it was an experience that exceeded all expectations! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere that set the tone for a delightful meal.

The menu offered a wide variety of breakfast options, from classic dishes to creative twists on old favorites. I opted for the Turkish breakfast and was blown away by the flavors. The ingredients were fresh, and the presentation was beautiful. It’s clear that the chefs here take pride in their craft.“

“One of my favorite restaurant out their, since I came to the U.S I've never taste anything compared to my country taste level till I stumble across this restaurant. Everything about it from the pitza,menu,etc , and what I like the most is you have the choice to change whatever you want while their making the pittza, for instance you can make the pitza spicier if you like or add more of mozrale or tomato suce or even you can make a whole pittza all by your adjustment.“

“Great place to hang out with friends!“

“What a wonderful dinner we just had at YamaChen's. it was a lovely experience from beginning to end. Relaxing atmosphere, amazing staff, and of course, the sushi was divine. Thank you so much, for a wonderful, interesting, and tasty meal!“

“招呼很好 食物新鮮 午餐套餐很超值 如果有生日者 送上雪糕“

“My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here. It was our first time coming to this restaurant. The food was excellent and the value phenomenal. We ended up getting a three course meal for $42.00. The lamb chops and shrimp provenciale was on spot. Very delicious food. Highly recommend.“

“Came here with friends for lunch on a weekday and we sat outside… they have a nice side alley area with umbrellas and tables to enjoy on nice days. They also offer full service out there. The menu is the typical Mediterranean menu… Gyros, salads, other items.
Service was very friendly. The food was really good. Plating needed a little help though. The Greek salad had random white onions on top which really didn’t belong there. Otherwise, the grilled chicken on top was very flavorful and amazing!

Overall, it was a nice visit… Definitely would recommend.“

“I just received a box of Cameron’s Chocolates as a gift. They were delicious. They will be a new go to for me. Love supporting small business and Cameron Chocolate’s mission.“

“We ordered only dim sum. Very simple and small menu of common dim sum items but the taste was big! Was pleasantly surprised. I have tried multiple dim sum places over the years and notice a drop in taste - or just so bland that nothing stands out. This place's tastes reminded me of good old times when I woke up early and met up with friends just so we can stand in line for an open table.
The dumplings are consistent: moist yet chewy, meaty or shrimpy depend on what kind. The fried ones are crispy, and still moist not dried out like most places. Not salty at all (compared to others). We tried bao, dumplings, crab claw balls, taro cake, fried bean curds, pretty much all except chicken feet, stripes, ribs and some other meat oriented dishes. Again tastes are very consistent, and good. One thing though they don't have red vinegar on the table so you have to ask (soy sauce + red vinegar + sate chili paste + chopped green chili peppers as dipping sauce). Prices are fair. Services a bit robotic. Probably my favorite dim sum place currently. Will return and try their Vietnamese dishes.

Parking: Lot is not too big but the plaza isn't busy, even at lunch time so parking isn't an issue.

Kid-friendliness: Some high chairs and booster seats. Some items are kid size but I would prefer order adult and share with the kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: No automatic doors.“

“It was wonderful! This was my first time trying Indian Cuisine and it was a fantastic introduction to to the food. I couldn’t have asked for better!“

“After a hard day of work, I went to treat myself to eating Cava - Lee Hwy, I like it because the food is fresh and delicious. When I arrived, I was delighted to see the smiling and friendly staff, but I especially want to thank Diosesis for always giving all customers such a pleasant, smiling and very respectful welcome. Thank you very much for the excellent work you do.“

“This place is a hidden gem. Tucked away in the center of old town fairfax is this awesome place, they have a curated craft beer and asian street food selection that indicates the owners depth of love for their craft. Staff is super friendly and I'm definitely coming back. Having a hard time finding parking? Go a block down past the potbelly to the parking garage and walk back up.“

“Serves an excellent authentic indian food. The owner is very friendly and accommodating to your special needs. We catered their vegetarian food for the reception event in October 2022. Everybody loved the food quality and the service. Thank you.“

“As every other Sunday, great family time …“

“Best Acai bowl I've ever had! I could eat one of the Classics every single day! Fresh fruit, great combinations or design your own. Made when you order. Menu includes other options such as smoothies. Parking next door, as well as inside and outside seating. Such a great alternative to fast food

Parking: Right next door to building“

“Atmosphere is nice, service is very good.
It was our second experience with server Jen. She is so sweet and has knowledgeable about menu. She was patient with us, and recommended amazing rolls depending on our tastes. We are definitely coming back to have pleasant dinner. Also foods are fresh I totally suggested. Dynamite roll is the best.“

“I have gone twice and both times have been amazing. There is a good variety of flavorful food to choose from. I love the chicken kabobs. They are so good and juicy. But my favorite is the rice. I'm not familiar with all the names but every type I've tried has been good. On top of the great food is the friendly and welcoming staff. This is some of the best kabob I've had in the area. And to have a buffet lunch is a dream come true.“

“Beer and Food are top notch! Dog friendly outside, which is a Huge plus!“

“I love it here. I wish I took pictures. But I was just so happy the entire time I forgot. Everything about Saba is beautiful. The food is amazing. The people are kind and sweet and happy to have you there. Our waiter was Hamza. He was wonderful and helpful and so sweet. Whenever anyone asked me any question all I could say was “I’m so happy”. Because truly, everything was lovely. I cannot wait to come back. I will be telling everyone I know about my very happy experience here.“

“My wife and I brought the kids here after spending the day in State College. It was excellent. Fresh food, good prices (kids eat free with a regular purchase). Will definitely be back!“

“We tried Lamb shank and beef&chicken kabob also had an eggplant salad as a side. The lamb shank was my favorite and chicken also was really tasty too so I highly recommend it for a dinner. The atmosphere is so nice and unique. The waiter was very polite and friendly. I really enjoyed being there.“

“The food is consistently great - well prepared and flavorful. The reason they are able to achieve this is by not sitting too many people at once so they can control the quality of the food and experience. Don’t be dissuaded by the wait. It’s not as long as they typically tell you.“

“Great food , great costumer service, smells delicious you should gave a try I really recommend a-lot of favor choices its like cava or chipotle style but indian food.“

“Excelente comida y atención“

“2 Slobbery thumbs up! Millie enjoys!“
