50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Kirkland

“I was looking for a good Thai place near my home, and I’m so glad I found this one—highly recommend!

First, the space is huge. Like you can see in the photos, there are lots of tables on the first floor, a separate room for group seating, and even a second floor. They also have bar seats. The interior (including the lighting) is really nice, and the staff was very friendly.

We ordered Crab Rangoon as an appetizer, and for the main dishes we got Gang Panang curry and drunken noodles. The Crab Rangoon was crispy, and the cheese inside was rich and creamy. The main dishes were great too, especially because they included a lot of different vegetables. Some places have mostly meat or noodles, but this one had plenty of veggies, so it felt more balanced and still really tasty.

You can choose the spice level. We got level 1 and level 2, respectively. Level 1 was already a little spicy, and level 2 was pretty spicy. If you don’t handle spicy food well, keep that in mind.

The only downside was that they leave water on each table ahead of time, so it wasn’t cold at all. Other than that, I loved everything. This is my new favorite Thai spot!“

“Hollywood Baked Goods made all of our cupcakes and cake for our wedding in May 2026. Everything tasted amazing and it was so great that they have multiple dairy free options to choose from to accommodate our allergies. I'd recommend them to anyone hosting an event!“

“Ice creams handmade are really good“

“My wife and I have come here for the drinks and occasionally truffle pommes frites or some oysters, but this time we tried some of the other menu items for dinner. My wife got the Halibut (Chapter 6) and I got the Mushroom Pasta dish. (Chapter 5)

I asked Casey if he recommended the mushroom dish and he said it was one of his favorites. I'm not a foodie, so I don't get overly excited over food but let me tell you... It was so good that it prompted me to write a review about it. I actually felt an endorphin rush from eating it! My wife loved the halibut, (which I also tried) and I would say getting her to eat fish is usually a challenge unless her fisherman father prepares it!

I would recommend a Manhattan or Old Fashioned, which Casey also pointed me towards some new Rye to try. Fantastic as always!

I had placed an order for oysters but apparently they were forgotten, but I was so enamored with the mushroom dish that I didn't even care. Casey offered them to me on the house as he felt bad, which was a very nice gesture. I wasn't upset at all!

Now we would like to try all the other dishes, because if both meals were that good, how can they miss with anything else?

I didn't take photos of the food because I inhaled it :)

Thanks Casey and the rest of the staff for great service and amazing food/drinks!“

“Our goto special burger place“

“I don’t usually eat Italian out because I feel I do a good job at home. This place is way better than I can do. The menu/ordering process is a little challenging to figure out but worth the challenge. We’ve been twice and both times excellent. The salads are great, house made mozzarella with these sweet tomatoes and a balsamic reduction - so good! Tonight I had the gluten free pasta with mushrooms and white truffle oil, fried tofu, homemade sausage and ghost pepper oil. It was so freaking good! The atmosphere is fun as well, open, vibrant colors and Italian pop music. Welcome addition to Totem Lake.“

“Hands down one of the best pizzas I've ever had in my life and it all begins with the dough. #lightsout“

“My girls took me to Cafe Veloce for my birthday and it was amazing! Service was great and the food was superb. I had the Dungeons pasta, yummy!!! It was my first time dinning at Cafe Veloce and will not be my last. Highly recommended.“

“BiBi is the best! We had a party catered and the food was fabulous and beautifully presented. Everyone loved it. Thank you BiBi!“

“We went there today to have some great Mexican food and because my friend Sheryl was in town from Ohio. We had a great time and also had margaritas!!!“

“Delicious, healthy scratch food in a warm environment!“

“Very generous servings and friendly people. The food was fresh and well prepared. We hope to go back to try some other dishes.“

“I go out of my way for the treat that is a meal at Veggie Life. Very friendly owners and outstanding and fast service. Excellent food, some favorites: Hot and sour soup, orange chicken, and tofu clay pot. Updated from previous review on 2026-03-31“

“Mongolian Grill is one of those spots you keep coming back to because the food just hits right every time. You get to pick exactly what you want, and it’s always fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. On top of that, the staff is super friendly and the portions are more than worth it.“

“Beef onion buns are a must try!!“

“This has to be our favorite regional restaurant. The staff are so lovely and helpful. The food is ridiculously delicious. Even when we discussed recent slightly imperfect experiences at Canlis and The Herbfarm, this crew was so professional and filled with camaraderie for their “competition” that it made us love them even more. Just exquisite. In addition, they introduced us to the most lovely pear cider from France that we now order for the kids for holidays and parties. Bring a deep pocketbook and go with the cellar/sommelier pairings. So nice.“

“I ordered the vanilla sheet cake with whipped cream and strawberries for my father's 93rd birthday. It was soooo delicious. My order was last minute but they were very gracious in working their schedule to deliver it on time. Thanks so much!“

“Delicious cookies. Pinckney Cookies are nothing short of genius. Original, oatmeal, snick doodle, molasses all- genius. Yummy.“

“Wonderful Italian restaurant. a Kirkland neighborhood treasure.“

“I have visited this restaurant with my friends on Friday evening. Nice hospitality and service, should give 5 start for it. Good vegetable options were available, we tried the Paneer Hariyali(grilled and not fried) and it was very tasty; also other vegetable food was great and tasty. I also tried their Goat Biryani and found to be ok compared to other restaurant, definitely suggest to improve on Biryani taste.“

“The Lamb Schwarma plate is a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, with a portion to generously have leftovers later! The soup that comes with their plates is comforting without being heavy, and I could eat it every day. Also, if you love garlic, their MK fries are a must buy - my friend & I shared a half order, and came nowhere close to finishing them!“

“Huge fan of this place! Great ice cream and drinks, and super comfy shirts too 😁. Extremely friendly owner and staff, definitely would recommend checking them out and supporting a small local business!“

“grate pizza and the baklava with ice cream was awesome“

“Very cautious and safe during COVID. Very good ice cream and service“

“This place is great! Wonderful atmosphere, exceptional customer service, and reasonably priced food. Stopped here for a quick dinner and it was really nice. Our waiter was super friendly and checked on us once or twice. Our drinks were refilled repeatedly, which is a mark of good customer service in my book. The restaurant was clean and beautifully decorated. Very calm dining experience. I'd highly recommend it. I got the basil chicken dish and my partner ordered green chicken curry. The portions were decently sized and the food was well seasoned and flavorful.“

“The food is great! Service is fast. Smells amazing when you go in!“

“Everything there is delicious and always artfully presented, and the service by the staff is also very good.“

“A nice little spot for some delicious sushi in downtown Kirkland. Walked in on Friday evening and were seated really quickly. The staff was welcoming and friendly in a down to Earth way. Our table was clean and comfortable. Great variety on the menu; I was able to order non-sushi items for myself and daughter while my friends found some great looking sushi plates. My chicken Katsu was crispy and cooked perfectly, and included a fresh salad and a cup of miso soup, which was very tasty. We tried the potato-ball/squid dish (I can't recall the name) and it was VERY good!!! Great on a cold evening to warm you up. Prices seemed fair and our waitress was very helpful and friendly. Definitely worth a stop! :-)“

“Very good food and service! Super good!“

“Kids love the gelato. You get a lot for your money. They couldn’t even finish. Staff is always super friendly.“

“My favorite Panang curry anywhere. Very flavorful and authentic. The lunch combos are a great deal. I love having a little pad Thai on the side. Been coming here for over 10 years and will continue to come back as long as they're here.“

“We love the coffee and scones here 💕“

“Reasonably Priced; Outstanding Sushi!😋 Oh, and the FRIENDLY PROFESSIONAL SERVICE was very appreciated.“

“We love the coffee and scones here 💕“

“Wow! Perfect dining experience. Friendly staff, amazing food and drinks, fun atmosphere, I highly recommend this place! 🙏“

“Everything!!! the smoothie was great, but the girl behind the counter was absolutely sweet to my boy. thank you“

“Luz is a wonderful server! She is warm, welcoming and genuine. Throughout my meal she was highly attentive and made great recommendations (I really enjoyed the passion fruit tea she recommended). Her service was top notch and prompt. She anticipated my needs, I never had to ask for anything.
I don’t remember the last time I had such positive service; my afternoon is better for having stopped by.“

“The place was very busy, this may cause a variety of unwanted situations some of which are caused by customers themselves. We had to wait a little over 20 minutes which is not unusual for the day and time especially when the food is reported to be very good. While we waited we checked the menu and ordered our food which came to us nice and hot and without much waiting. We found the service to be very good and the food was excellent. We had the chicken tikka massala and the mutton as our main plates and also had the fried kale "fritters" (I forgot the name) which was very tasty. Everything was good and we can say this is a great place for Indian food. Will return.“
