    Dumplings
    Brittanie R.

    I came to My Vegan in Pasadena for dinner with a friend. They have a decent sized menu, it was hard to choose. I decided on their special where you can pick an entree, side of rice, salad and an egg roll for $18. I got yellow curry amd my friend got cashew "chicken" with tofu. We also got dumplings for an appetizer. All the food came out really fast, a little too fast. I'm not sure if they have it pre made and heat it up upon ordering, or if it's made to order. The food was good, but not amazing. For the price though it was a deal and definitely somewhere to stop when hungry and don't want to spend too much. I also liked that they gave a homeless woman water when she came in and asked. That was really kind and refreshing to see. I will be back. There is no restroom though or at least it didn't look like there was a restroom. I want to try their mango sticky rice next time.

    Tom Yum noodles, Pad Thai, & Cashew Nut

    3.5 stars Another vegetarian family member came to visit, so I thought to have them try this place, since it's so highly rated. It's not bad, but it didn't wow the way I thought it would. My uncle got the Tofu Cashew Stir-fry and it wasn't as spicy as we thought it would be. I got the Tom Yum Noodles and it was sour and not spicy enough. My mom got the Pad Thai and that turned out to be the best dish. Service was good. I'd come back.

    P.E.T.

    3.5 stars. I came on a Monday evening for early dinner around 5:50pm. There is a parking lot with a few spaces. Not the biggest parking lot and a bit of a tight, weird layout but I was able to secure a spot. This was my first time here. No one was inside when we came so we were immediately greeted and seated. It's pretty small inside. Several tables along each wall and a few in the middle. We ordered the orange chicken, P.E.T. and RIPP. The food came out decently quickly. First impression was that the portion sizes were small for the price (~$18 each). The orange chicken was not what I expected. I wouldn't get this again. It was mushy and soft, not the crunchy breading I hoped for. The sauce is quite citrus-heavy. The PET was solid. I was hoping for more pumpkin and tofu but overall good. The RIPP was the best dish in terms of the entree itself. Tangy flavor, great mock meat texture. The steamed vegetables had no flavor and the carrots were basically raw. The cabbage slaw was pretty good but a bit watery toward the bottom. Overall, it was okay. I wasn't blown away by any flavors. It's a bit overpriced for what it was. Nothing was notably memorable. My partner and I were able to finish everything (he does eat a lot though). I wouldn't necessarily come out of my way to eat here again but I wouldn't say no either if someone asked. Maybe I'll give the pad Thai a try next. Service was nice. Water was refilled twice. Other notes (literally posted around the restaurant): -bathrooms out of order -cash preferred -minimum credit card purchase $10 -tip preferred in cash

    Vegan Pho Basil
    Danny C.

    Dropped by and got the Vegan Pho Basil ($15.50). Even though this is a Thai restaurant, the pho was pretty comparable to what you can get at a vegan Vietnamese restaurant. To me, all vegan pho tastes the same (the salty veggie broth taste), and this is exactly what this one felt like. The portion sizes were satisfactory. They will give you sriracha and hoisin sauce if you ask. The restroom is a single-stall inside the kitchen, so you have to ask to be escorted. It's written on the menu that any food returned will only give you 50% back. Seems pretty atypical and I can see how that might offend some customers.

    Angry pork with side of brown rice and egg rolls.
    Ivan D.

    Came in, although there's a sign that says restroom is out of order they told me it wasn't and allowed me to access it. Small place and restroom is in the back by the kitchen but it was clean. Food car out amazingly fast, prob 5-7 min. Tasted great, o ordered the egg rolls and angry pork. Pork was a bit on the salty side but otherwise great flavor. Egg rolls were on point. The brown rice that comes with the angry pork was my favorite, sticky and cooked just right. Overall I liked the place. Bit pricey but it's Pasadena and nothing is 3-5 bucks anymore. 4 stars because of the price and again. A bit too salty on the angry pork for my taste but definitely give this place a try.

    Mung bean noodle salad
    Karina C.

    I ordered this for pickup, it went smoothly and they had my order ready under 10 minutes. I ordered the mung bean noodle salad and the mushroom coconut soup with tofu. I would highly recommend the mushroom coconut soup. The salad's flavor was amazing, perfectly sour and umami, but they had large chunks of green onion (a lot of stem), which cannot be eaten without my eyes watering. The soy shrimp texture was also a little dry.

    Pad See Ew
    Andy T.

    I was looking for a vegetarian food option for my mom and decided to give My Vegan a try. At first, I tried to call and place a takeout order. However, they did not pick up, so I went and ordered in person. The staff was very helpful in answering all of my questions about what's in their dishes. After ordering, it was mentioned everything would be ready within 15 minutes. There were not a lot of people at the time, so there were plenty of seats for me to sit and wait. I was actually surprised to see that everything was actually ready within 5 minutes. In total, I got three dishes - Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and egg rolls. For both the Pad Thai and Pad See Ew, I added tofu for the order. For the egg rolls, it looks like it was made with carrot and lettuce. My mom absolutely loves all the dishes. I also enjoyed all of the dishes. Everything was definitely shareable for 1-2 people. This spot will now be one of our favorite consideration for vegetarian food! Note: American Express is not accepted here.

    Hidden gem for Thai-style vegetarian food. All dishes are made from non-meat or meat-alternative ingredients, but the flavor is almost identical to regular dish. Recommend: Broccoli beef, Pad Thai, Tom Kha Soup, and Angry Pork. Plenty of parking.

    the flavors here are unreal and service has always been super friendly! fascinated by how wide the menu range is. it's busy in here but never overwhelmingly crowded, which is awesome. the vibes are awesome. if you like chinese and thai food and if you're interested in trying plant-based renditions, you'll love this spot

    Spicy edamame, Tom Kah Soup
    Kayla Z.

    First time trying this place and it was yummy! The tom kah soup was super creamy and perfect. I was little disappointed by the mango sticky rice though :( was a lot more salty than I expected. Food came out fast and service was good. I definitely recommend (not the sticky rice though)

    Tried this place out with my grandparents who are not plant-based but wanted to try the fake meats. They both wanted burgers, and seemed to enjoy them. My grandma thought the "chicken" was cooked in an oil that left a weird after taste. I enjoyed the mushroom coconut soup. My boyfriend thought the orange chicken was ok but probably wouldn't order it again as a main entree. Next time, we'd probably try more of the Thai staples. The place is small so we were lucky to get a table. Service was quick and friendly.

Um, what?! How is this vegan?! Whatever meat alternative they used, the texture was perfect. Also amazing seasonings and sauces. It was packed with flavor and lots of veggies. And it was super filling, too! I also grabbed a coconut water cause I need my electrolytes. I took my meal to-go, but kind of regretted it because the inside is so cute! Retro diner chic.

If you enjoy coffee cake, definitely get this, as vegan coffee cake is a rarity in Pasadena and LA. ice cream sandwich ($9.25) - honestly, i think this was a little too sweet for me. The ice cream itself was plain vanilla soft serve, but when sandwiched by two entire chocolate chip cookies, I think the sweetness can be overpowering. Keep in mind that it also melts very fast (since it has the consistency of soft serve) and this makes it hard to keep the whole sandwich in shape. If you do not plan to eat it right away, I would not recommend getting this as it'll melt in a mere minute.

A tiny Thai place in Altadena, at the edge of where the fires were, we were happy to support the business. Turned out to be an excellent choice.

We had: *Pork and shrimp egg rolls that were fried perfectly and not greasy. *Pad Kee Mow with chicken, which was delicious but next time I'd get tofu instead of chicken. They use white meat and I prefer dark meat. *Spicy crispy pork belly, which had delicious favor but we did find the meat to be a bit over-cooked and therefore tough.

    Food is superb. Price is a little hard on the wallet…read more Ambiance is whatever. Service is always friendly.

    I didn't want to write this review. I used to love Kismet. I tend to go on Thursday early…read moreafternoons. I had 2 other experiences prior to this where the chicken seemed off but I kept trusting it would be as good as it when I first had Kismet when it first opened back in March 2025. On May 7th, 2026 at 3:30 PM I ordered for pickup my usual meat and potatoes plate. Weirdly, the order was ready for pickup in a couple of minutes when usually it would be ready in 10 minutes which would have been less sketchy. I should have trusted my instincts. I walked in to pick up my order and there were zero customers around, usually there are a few customers eating at the tables. Sign that the quality has dwindled and the regulars aren't retuning. I get back home to treat myself (I spent $28 for the meal plus a drink.) Much to my dismay I opened the plate and was so disappointed. It was half of what normally comes in the box but the potatoes were stacked high and of course extremely oily. I was like ok let's just eat this because I don't have more time to find another place to get food plus I've already splurged. The chicken was undercooked and rubbery and came with no chicken breast like it normally does just some boney legs. Since I was so hungry and paid the extra money for "light" chicken I still ate it. I'm sick now, the night of May 8th I'm still on the toilet. Save your money and go to Zankou if you want good rotisserie chicken they've been doing it right in LA since the 80s. Or Costco; 5$ chicken unless you want a $32 dollar chicken here to make you and your family sick and poor.

    Low-key on a mission to try everything here. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. Everyone…read morehere is always super nice and food is always fresh and quality. This time I got their mango aguafresca, flan, esquite, and chicken torta to try. The mango agua Fresca was sweet mangoy and refershing. The flan was firmer than what I'm used to but was still super creamy, not too sweet and had plenty of this caramely toasty flaves. It's corn season and the corn in the esquite MNM. Amazingly buttery juicy sweet and generously topped with rich mayo, Cotija cheese and tajin. The torta was also REALLY YUMMY and was filled with crunchy fresh onions, lettuce, tomato, and radish, soft beans, savory cheese, and tender limey flavorful perfectly grilled chicken. I even added some of their super fresh yummy guac and omg pure deliciousity right there. Overall this place is still pretty good. Mango agua Fresca $5 Flan $5 Esquite $7 Chicken torta $12 +$4 guac

    Service was good. First time here. Menu looked good and lots of veggie options. Ate the Chicken…read morewith veggie burrito. It was good BUT it was a bit too salty and the rice in the burrito made it a bit mushy. If you like your burritos like this you would be ecstatic, but I was not. Putting chucks of veggies or cabbage would have made it less much.... Maybe even corn, I will come back to try other dishes on the menu, but not the burrito..... breakfast tacos next!
