    Crispy "Chicken" sandwich
    Eric R.

    I struggle with vegan food being a more approachable option for the omnivore in me but I've found two things to be true 1. Vegan food is either fantastically delicious or completely awful. 2. There is (in my experience) no such thing as average vegan food. That being said, my food was not only delicious, but I'm pleasantly able to report I feel no post heaviness after eating either. Now, my only real problem with vegan chicken is reconciling the texture of it, and while it's something to get accustomed to, the crispy "chicken" I ate in a sandwich was pretty tasty. The bacon and vegan cheese was also pretty solid on the fries, though if I was to slightly critique anything, the bacon was more akin to the taste of a crouton. However, the vegan cheese was a wonderful flavor and was very nice to chow down on. Overall, this is the reason I love LA, because even eating fake chicken is exciting when it's executed masterfully. Cheers!

    Stopped by this place while on my way back from a hike and I'm so glad I did. FOOD My friend got the vegan burger and fries and I got the D fries. They were so freakin tasty. The combination of sauces was a party in my mouth that I was not expecting. Somehow they'd layered the sauce so it got just the right amount on all the fries. SERVICE Air was our server and she was so cool and very helpful. I was hoping they had matcha but they didn't, and she happily gave us a recommendation of a stellar matcha place nearby. AMBIANCE It was a quieter place and had patio seating that was perfect for people watching on such a great day. I will be returning to this place and trying other items. The server was great and the food was tasty .

    Magnum Salad. Super huge portion. Very delicious. I also ordered a loose leaf oolong tea. Very cheap and tasty. Highly recommend this place.

    Chicken Caesar Wrap
    Samantha R.

    Decided to try something from here for lunch delivery, menu said they had a chicken Caesar wrap which is my favorite wrap ever, and the best part? It's all vegan/vegetarian! Granted I eat chicken but I've found more often I prefer the soy versions. Anyway lunch arrives and the fries smell amazing, not crunchy which is a shame because that would make them perfect but they are seasoned and taste good! But the wrap! I was a little iffy on the veganaise, I haven't had it before but that odd tangy taste of it was not a bother! There's so much lettuce and the chicken pieces are just so tasty. This is definitely a go to now. I can't wait to bring my mom next time she visits, definitely have to try more from this menu!

    Oh how I love Something Vegan!! The best chicken tenders are here and I still can't get over how delicious they were. My cousins and I have a group dinner here and everyone left beyond satisfied. Their nachos were a hit and I would highly recommend. I had their crispy chicken sandwich for my entree and really enjoyed it. The fries were aplenty and service was great. They do a lot of takeout and their prices are beyond reasonable.

    Something Vegan, is something good as well as great. This Toluca Lake hidden gem has been on the seen since 2017, located off Riverside Drive near other local great spots such as Patys, Bob's Big Boy and many longstanding greats. S.V. fits in as something intimate, homey and welcoming to all. I've been coming here since their debut and support this amazing eatery with dine in as well as delivery experience. Bae and I branch out to a place he'd never been and hit up this Something grand. It never dawn on me that their breakfast/brunch items are a bit limited, but I went with their "Chicken" & Pancake while he had The Coconut Curry w/ a side of brown rice. We loved it all. From dining outside on a beautiful morning to the vibes and view of Riverside Dr, to the excellent service, ambiance and company. It was pretty buy for them around 1245/1pm with many people dining outside as well as in. They offer a variety of beverages from hot or iced teas to lemonade, soft drinks, juice, kombucha, aloe vera, still or sparkling water and coffee. For eats it's curries, rice dishes, noodle plats, wraps, burgers, soups, a la carte and specialities, like their C & P I had and loved for my latest meal. But I've had so much of the menu over 8+ years. Highly recommend those Dynamite Drumsticks and Fries, all the wraps, fried rice, curries, burgers, apps and HEAVENLY "beef." Great proteins such as Soy Chicken, Soy Steak, Tofu, Cauliflower, and Soy Shrimp. Gluten free and/or gluten free option items throughout the menu, even for burgers (gluten free bun option). Gender neutral restrooms, street parking, amazing homey decor and desserts on the menu. You can enjoy Something Vegan from 11AM until 9:45PM, seven days a week, but they do close the kitchen between 3:30PM and 4:30pm daily.

    First time here and they didn't disappoint. Inside had plenty of space, and was clean. I came in right at 11a so I was the only one in the restaurant. The staff were friendly and helpful. Got my food to go, I tired the dynamite fries , they had a little kick and were very delicious. Had the dumplings, not bad. Also tried the pad see ew which was good. And the tom yum soup which was very flavorful. I will definitely come back and try some more dishes! absolutely adding them to the rotation.

    I love ordering from here because the food is amazing, especially their vegan carbonara. I usually order for delivery , but I found myself in the area and decided to order for pickup since I didn't know how long the wait would be. My order was ready within 5 minutes of arriving. Since there was no one dining in I thought it would be okay to eat a couple bites before heading out. I was wrong, as soon as I was about to start eating my food, the cashier came up to me and told me that I could not eat at their location because I ordered for pick up. This would make complete sense if the restaurant was busy and people were waiting on a table, but that was not the case (it was completely empty). The approach was very rude as well. Food 5/5 Customer service 1/5

    Impossible burger with fries and vegan cheese fries as an app to share (chicken + pancakes in the very back corner)
    Cami C.

    Overall I have had a pretty decent experience at Something Vegan. They have a very extensive menu, ranging from burgers to noodles/Asian-fusion dishes, to salads. You can find pretty much anything you are looking for, but make it vegan. They definitely live up to their name! I recently had the Impossible burger with fries when I went, and it was great. Nothing to complain about and the fries were crispy and well-seasoned. I wasn't as big of a fan of the cheese fries, as they got a bit soggy after 10 minutes. My friend loves the cheese fries here though, so it's depends on your preferences. You can order to eat in or do take-out. We sat inside this most recent time and it was pleasant. There are quite a few tables inside and during good weather, they have a patio for outdoor seating too. The ambiance is super chill, and our service was fine. The servers didn't engage much during the meal apart from bringing water and taking our order in the beginning, which for the most part is fine, but we were waiting quite awhile for them to come around with the check after we finished our meal. We weren't in a rush to leave and didn't mind. Overall it was a good experience and I would check out again to explore more of the menu.

    My mom and I were on vegan fast and this was the place we came across while out of town. The flavor was amazing and didn't need meat it was perfect without. Great service.

    Awesome stuff
    Joe G.

    Been coming to this place for sometime and it's one of my favorites vegan spots. The Food is always on point their dynamite drum sticks are my favorites along with their curry . Food always great,service as well.All in all a great place to eat .

    Meatball Bolognese

    A cozy café with a pretty diverse menu. The Bolognese pasta here is really good, and the salads are great too. The staff is very polite and friendly. And honestly, if I don't feel like saying I could cook it better myself, that means the food is actually good -- and I don't feel like saying that here.

    Are they seating indoor? Patio? Reservations?

    They have both indoor and outdoor seating. I believe they take reservations, not 100% sure. I've visited numerous times at various hours and never had a problem being seated right away.

    The menus do not say what is gluten-free, are none of these items gluten-free?

    Some of them are gluten free.Go check the pic of the actual menu that people post in Yelp and you'll see which one are gluten free.

    Why is there two different times for opening?

    Lunch and then dinner

    Is the entire menu vegan or just certain items?

    Sure is 100% vegan

    Organic soy and tofu?

    Gosh, I sure hope so!

    Do they serve Alcohol here?

    Nope.

    The menu is similar to my vegan gold. Is it owned by the same people?

    No. Nothing relate to them. We have started everything from scratch.

I'm a big fan of drunken noodles, but the version served here was truly exceptional--the best I've ever had. The flavors were rich, vibrant, and perfectly balanced.

We usually order the veggie spring rolls or the ones with chicken and pair them with peanut sauce, since the chicken comes with a different curry style sauce. Their soups and curries are so good! Today was the first time we tried the eggplant basil, and wow it was delicious. I'm glad we added a new dish to our go-to favorites!

We've been doing that for a few years now, so that should tell you something right there. Our order is fairly consistent: we each start with a mimosa that comes in a highball glass, so one is usually all we need. Next, we share an order of kimchi biscuits (you get two). So delicious! Packed full of kimchi, bacon and cheddar cheese, it's a nice combo of flavors that play well together. The interior is usually soft and warm, with a nice crunchy crust. Top that with a smatter of the cinnamon butter that it comes with...yum! Our choice of entree varies, anything from avocado toast, to their kale and seaweed salad or any of their other selections they have from their brunch/lunch menu. On this outing, my friend and I both opted for the bibimbap. I opted for the pork bulgogi while my friend got the chicken version. It comes with a generous amount of carrots, zucchini, shiitake mushrooms and bean sprouts, and is topped with a runny, sunny side up egg that serves as an excellent sauce when you mix everything together, along with the gochujang sauce. We upgraded and got it with brown rice in the hot stone bowl. Worth it! The regular bibimbap is good, but when you mix in the crunchy crust that comes from the bottom of the stone bowl, you get an additional texture that makes the dish really stand out. The flavors already come together nicely, and the crunchy bits just enhance the experience. For dessert, we like to share the "lemon pie", which is actually a scoop of lemon gelato that comes in a glass that also includes graham crackers, topped with toasted marshmallows. A nice way to end the meal. And the staff! We usually either have Justin or Ann as our server, but everyone there is super friendly and helpful. They are consistently good at checking up on you and making sure you have everything you need. Just another 5 star reason of why we keep coming back!

This place was called Voila Boutique for as long as I can remember. The Rustic Spoon opened right before the pandemic. They survived and now this is definitely one of the best Thai spots in town. We started off with Steamed Chicken Dumplings, Tom Yum Soup with Shrimp and Jasmine Tea. The Dumplings were fine, the soup had a nice lemon grass broth, lots of mushrooms and about five full shrimp. We moved on the the Krapow with chicken, which was very tasty. Drunken Noodles with Beef was also very nice, and then we had two curries with chicken - The Yellow Curry and the Massaman Curry. Both were served in a Yellow curry sauce. The subtle difference was the cinnamon braised chicken in the Massaman curry, otherwise both dishes tasted the same and were very good. This was a delicious meal and a very pleasant experience. The service was excellent and the vibe inside is comfortable, relaxing and sleek. They don't have low sodium soy sauce, but they have plenty of good spice options which they will bring to the table upon request. There is also a large parking lot in the back, which is very convenient. As much as I like the Toluca Lake location, I think I like this spot better. The larger dining room has more space between tables, but it still maintains an intimate vibe. The menus are identical. Tasty food, great service and an enjoyable atmosphere. I'm a fan!
