Staff is super friendly. The vegetables are definitely fresh. I have had the Indian bowl a couple times here. The first time was great; the second time was good but that as flavorful as the first time. Not sure what changed. The sweet potato fries are a 5 star. The nachos are huge. read more

Let me start off by saying that the food here is amazing. I've been eating here for about a year now and I am never disappointed. I did have a small issue one time and the owner Radhi was so sweet and nice and went above and beyond to resolve my issue. I appreciate honest businesses with great food. For as long as I live by this business I will be coming here to buy my food. I recommend this business to every and anyone!!!!! read more

One word: incredible! I had a Thai Temple bowl with tempeh and it was probably the best dish I've ever had. I also had the banana chocolate raw cake and it is perfection. Parking is either meters or a parking garage down the street, I don't know how much the garage is cause I parked at a meter. The restaurant is small but cozy and their food is worth the drive into downtown Long Beach. read more

Surprisingly good food and much better than the previous two vegan restaurants to occupy this space. I ordered a rainbow wrap that was double the size of a typical wrap. Two pieces each a meal in themselves measuring 3.5"x10" stuffed full of flavorful greens and fried tofu. Such deliciousness with a tasty almond butter based dressing. Clean single-person restroom with changing table. Courteous and friendly staff. Counter order and brought to table on real china. read more

Ordered through Postmates a variety of foods to try as I had been wanting to try this place for a while. I was super unimpressed to say the least. Chicken tenders were burnt and the buffalo sauce was so watery it was not edible. Sweet potato fries were totally burnt, spring rolls were poorly wrapped and had little to no flavor. The nachos were the biggest disappointment. How can this dish be considered nachos? It was just a bunch of veggies thrown onto chips. My boyfriend and I were just unsatisfied and unimpressed with the bland flavors. We are vegan and have tried all the vegan spots in LB- I highly DO NOT recommend wasting your time at this low quality restaurant. We are former chefs and we're just super disappointed about our experience here. It is not worth your money at all. Plant powered fast food has better quality food than this place. If I could give place zero stars I would. read more

Great staff and great food. The samosas are a must. Super healthy and great variety of choices. The bowls are very filling.

I got the India bowl and a strawberry cheesecake milkshake this time. Soooooo good!! The mock chicken in the India bowl is a must!! It's crispy and delicious! I ate parts of my family members' meals, and I have to say the pesto pasta salad and classic bratwurst were also delicious!! read more

My third time coming here. The two women I've interacted with were very awesome. My only thing is the food is not consistent. It's not my go to here for this reason and parking. Long wait time for warm fries. read more

Great vegan options in downtown long beach. Street parking available and plenty to spare. Vegan burger, vegan sandwiches, vegan wraps. Even vegan shakes who would have known. They have a juice bar and fresh coconut water. A little bit of everything for any taste you may have. Employee are friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I would definitely visit again and try something new. read more

Awesome vegan fare and wonderful staff. Welcoming atmosphere and relaxed vibe. We want to eat here every day, but it's a bit out of our area. Had the BBQ chik'n sandwich, which was even better than yesterday's burrito, which was also awesome. read more

The people working there are nice. The ambience is airy, light, pleasant, like a good vegan lunchtime spot should be. Plenty of space. My Hippie Bowl was healthy tasting - I felt charged after eating it! It could have used a bit more of the whole wheat rice and sauce, a little less kale. Great that some of the healthy drinks have refills. A couple dollars too expensive for the food, if you're going in for a quick lunch often. As a treat or to meet with friends, fine! read more

Edited review. Radhi reached out after my disappointing orders and explained that there has been staff turnover and offered me a refund. I truly hope the menu and new cooks improve as this used to be our favorite vegan restaurant. Wishing them all the luck! read more

I've been to this place soo many times thinking "maybe it's just what I ordered" and I have never had anything good. The last thing I ordered was the Asian bowl. The rice was really hard, the protein was oily and not fresh. And I waited 30 mins for the bowl. Other things I've had have been burned or bland :( read more

It's ok. This seems like more for the whole foods plant-based crowd, which isn't a bad thing, but the food is a little lack luster. I also tried the rose milk tea with boba which was actually pretty good. It's no San Gabriel Valley boba, but for Long Beach, it's definitely top tier. read more

My second time here and I really like it. Ive tried some of the raw dishes (raw sushi wraps) and some of the cooked dishes (nachos, grilled cheese) The food has been good so far. Looking forward to trying some of the burgers next. The only thing is..... The place seems to have a lot of flies and seems a bit messy. Also, they have really good ginger lemonade but its a shame it so expensive and only comes in a small glass. The one thing that is cool if you take a picture in front of their wall you get a free ginger lemonade which helps the pricey small glass. The food both times did seem to take a little long to make but its nice knowing their making it fresh to order. All in all pretty dope spot. read more

My school age cousins ate their vegan food and nearly licked their plates clean.. yes, even Bobby the picky eater. I don't know how they make vegan kids can love, but I guess I was the one with the kale and hemp seed bowl... while everyone else had a vegan burger. Giggle. But I still licked my kale clean. read more

Decided to come to ahimsa now that they offer dine in , first of all cashier said he would wipe our table down never came by after our food arrived he decided to wipe down the table in the middle of us eating , the food was cold pretty mediocre food won't be returning here not good service or food. Also the place looks dirty. read more

Found this place on yelp when looking for some place vegetarian to eat. I had the fiesta salad and it was delicious. It had rice, black beans, lettuce, guacomle, corn and tortilla chips. Loved how the restaurant was decorated and table options. read more

Fresh, delicious food in a cozy, artsy environment. The Ahimsa Bowl and Thai Bowl were both great, as was the cashew cheesecake with coconut crust. The only thing I would warn people of is that this is not a full service restaurant, you have to order at the counter and get your own napkins/forks/etc. So don't expect to be served, but do expect a really pleasant, casual environment with great vegan food (not bland or boring at all!). I will definitely be coming back! read more

I love trying out new vegan restaurants it literally makes my day. I went here with my sister and we were not disappointed. Our palates were immensely satisfied. Everything we ordered...(and we tend to be the "ooohh let's try this too" type of people so we pretty much order everything off the menu) was just so tasty. It was so divine and fulfilling. The portions were pretty big enough for both of us to take home our share and be fulfilled for dinner. Definitely coming back to this place to try out what we didn't get to. read more

We were really excited to try this place after seeing all the great reviews and the unique menu but were so disappointed! The staff was friendly but to say the food was bad would be an understatement. We were really hungry and ordered a ton of food but couldn't finish any of the meals. The cauliflower wings were massive but batter was raw except for outer layer, super greasy and ranch/buffalo sauces tasted off and were really thin. My Buddha bowl came with canned corn, big chunks of red cabbage, entirely yellowed arugula, overcooked edamame and little flavor. The kale Cesar was soo salty which is saying a lot because I enjoy eating capers straight from the jar. French fries and chips were pretty good but salsa was lackluster and ketchup tasted like straight tomato paste. Overall food was flavorless, greasy, expensive, and not fresh. We love supporting vegan businesses but this one was a huge let down :( read more

I love this place so much! They serve so many types of scrumptious entrees! The service has always been to nice and friendly. Ordering for take out was super easy and I got my food within the time frame they said it would take. The interior is really cute with a huge mural on the wall. Ultimately this place serves really good food and by far my favorite vegan restaurant. read more

Horrible first time experience. They ran out of "burger patty," guacamole, and teriyaki sauce for my teriyaki bowl." The bowl was not pleasing. It was dry. We got chips and salsa and got the bottom of the bag crumbles and server said "that kinda happens". No sir it doesn't. Service was super slow. Want my money back but no manager in premise. Will not return. I'll be calling Ashley or Brooke to get my money back. Update: spoke with Brooke and she was very apologetic and refunded me as well as gave us free meal with our next visit. Great customer service by Brooke. We will be back. Thank you. read more

I've been coming here for a while and I always find myself happy. Today I had their spring rolls and an order of their Sweet Potato Fries. The peanut sauce for the spring rolls was delicious, the rolls were a decent size and the vegetables were crunchy. They gave us a large portion of ketchup for our fries. The one complaint I have is that we have two kids and they only had 1 high chair. read more

Anytime I take a bite of anything on this menu I think someone's playing a joke on me I live in Irvine so I drive about 35 minutes twice a week to come here, better than a majority of the comfort vegan restaurants I've ever been to, I havent even had it in a week I'm just sitting here thinking about how good it is, just go. read more

Sara is amazing! Food is great! The chipotle soup is amazing as well as their brownie cookies! Nachos are amazing (get the beyond meat!) the Ahimsa Burger is good and super tasty can't do wrong with soup to dip the burger in or the fries! The fiesta burrito is super yum and a good option! The sesame burger bun is UBER tasty just to remind you read more

I've been here four times and each time I tired something different and was always superior happy with what I got. My favorite is the house made ranch. Soooo good!! Best vegan burger spot in Long Beach for sure hands down. The name it's self Ahimsa means non violence and I love that they chose that name for a vegan restaurant. Shows they really know their stuff. Wish I can give a 8 stars or something. Love this place. Can't wait to back!! read more

It was a disappointing experience. The cashier informed me that the wait to receive my order would take 30 to 40 minutes. I waited over an hour. No one even apologized about the wait. I had to check on my food twice for an update since no one at the restaurant was reaching out. read more

Ahimsa vegan cafe is literally my favorite vegan restaurant period . Every time I'm in Long Beach , I have to go there . The food is amazing. Always consistent and the staff is super friendly.. my favorite items are the chocolate shake and the Ahimsa Hawaiian burger . Also the spring rolls are Awesome. They have great desserts !! Great atmosphere, very clean. ! I have to say I'm really impressed with this place .... I would recommend it to anyone. Especially people who are thinking about trying vegan food. This place is really good for that . I can't wait go back read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE & don't know why I haven't written a review sooner. First of all, everything I've tried so far is amazing (burgers, sandwiches, smoothies). Second and most amazing, this is a garlic and onion free restaurant WOW. I have a severe allium intolerance (which is the food family including garlic and onions) and I have such a difficult time ordering out. This place is my heaven. Thank you so much for existing!!! Quality, tasty, healthy food that I can actually eat YAYY! Plus amazing, kind service every time and a great vibe and cute decor. Definitely deserves 5 stars! read more

This place is the bomb! I love their entire menu...the burgers are bomb esp the sweet potatoe fries. All the sauces are homemade. The new boba drinks are all delicious & wow their homemade gingermint lemonade saves my day everytime. I bring my kids here often cuz the location is fun & we can sit outside & enjoy the cool Long Beach viibes! Good stuff! read more

I was so excited to find this place! Thank you for all the awesome vegan options. I got the BLT and the tempeh salad and loved every bite. Plus the place is so beautiful and the staff were very nice. read more

Ahimsa was so cute! Spiritual art all over the walls and colorfully and earthly decorated. I went here last minute on another hunt for vegan / vegetarian spots and this was so perfectly (hidden) and located in Long Beach's East Arts Village. Order up front and seat yourself! The ladies were so friendly and customer service was on point. Had the Hippie Bowl and it made me fall in love with Kale all over again. Careful, the bowls are actually bigger than I thought so eat slow and enjoy read more

Came here with two friends, one who is vegan, so she could introduce us into new foods. The service was impeccable, all of our questions were answered and helped us ultimately make a decision. We decided to split the bill in two to treat our vegan friend as a going away dinner. I was charged $30 and my other friend was charged the same. That means we paid $60 for three people to eat! I don't know the difference in price for vegan and non-vegan, I really don't know much about vegan food as it is. But I know that $60 was very high for three entrees at a "cafe" read more

Really great place. Super friendly service and super clean. Had the Tempe Reuben, my wife had the avocado jalapeño burger, both with fries, and my son had the chickin nuggets. Oh, and we had the chocolate chip cookie dough shake. Really great vegan place and will definitely go back next time we are in town. read more

First attempt to eat here they were out of items, and food was unimpressive but I saw potential though. Ordered Reuben, had two bites of sauerkraut on it, fries ok, date shake almost choked on nut chunks. Ordered the same sandwich today- Tempe Reuben and it was WORSE. Undercooked tempe, sauerkraut nonexistent, soggy but burnt bread. Sweet Potato fries also grossly undercooked threw them all out. Buffalo cauliflower was soggy and slimy. I've spent over 100$ on two orders and feel like I've been ripped off ... I so want to love this place but I think it's time to throw in the towel. read more

This was my first time at a vegan restaurant and it was pretty damn delicious. Got the chips and guacamole, awesome. Also ordered a samosa and that was awesome too. And finally had a Thai Temple bowl and that was really great too. Used a groupon and it wasn't too expensive. I'll definitely come back read more

We are completely plant-based and had a good experience here! The menu is varied to cater to a variety of tastes, and we love that Ahimsa offers plenty of wholesome options made in-house. Portion sizes seemed smaller than we would like for the price, to be honest, but it's a fairly safe recommendation when dining out with friends who aren't plant-based. read more

Ahimsa!! I bow to you! Your avocado jalapeño cheeseburger was out-of-this-world delicious and paired perfectly with a chocolate chip cookie milkshake. My husband devoured the Tempeh Reuben while our son demolished his chik'n nuggets. (We were expecting the Gardein variety but your homemade recipe is PHENOMENAL! Best surprise!) We'll be back every visit from Sacramento, and definitely again before we end this trip. Thank you for your beautiful ambience, extraordinary service, and quick cookin'! read more
