    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

    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.

All the workers have been really nice and one even gave me free food one time when he saw I was headed to my retail shift. So sweet! Service is decently fast. My friend and I went on our lunch break this past week and they were quick with the drinks (it was also midday on like Tuesday so it was kind of slow). Parking can be difficult depending on the time, but there's a few parking structures nearby. I want to give this place 5 stars but my drink is so inconsistently made. The first time I went to this location a few weeks ago, I got one of the best coffees I've had in the city! 10/10 no notes. But my last two visits it was watered down and so milky. This past week I went and there was no coffee taste and it looked even lighter than chocolate milk. So disappointing bc my drink comes out to $10 ($9 + $1 tip). And I went on my limited lunch break thinking I was getting a sure thing, but I tossed it after trying to drink at least half (mission: failed). Everyone seems to love their Vietnamese coffee and I tried my friend's and that had at least a strong coffee flavor. So maybe that's the way to go for anyone thinking of coming here. Bummed that it can't be my go-to for my usual order.

    I stopped by Kalaveras while visiting the Jackalope Art Fair in Downtown Burbank. After walking…read morearound in the heat, I wanted somewhere with seating, shade, and A/c. I had passed by this restaurant before but had never been curious enough to actually stop in. This time their drink menu advertised outside caught my attention so I figured "hey, why not?" From the moment I walked in i was trying to figure out whether I liked the atmosphere or not. The music was excellent, but the décor took me a second to process. It felt like an 80s lounge crashed into a neon Día de los Muertos inspired art gallery. It's most definitely not a quiet, cozy restaurant. It has more of a loud, colorful, party style personality. I was seated promptly by a kind hostess but I wasn't attended to by a waiter for nearly 10 minutes. Once my waiter did come by he was kind, quick, and professional. Now, I'm going to be honest.. I'm pretty picky when it comes to Mexican restaurant food, so I didn't have the highest expectations. I ordered the potato taquitos, a Jarrito Loco made with watermelon purée, vodka instead of tequila, and chamoy on the rim, plus chiles toreados and one carne asada taco. Laugh all you want, but I was half expecting the food to come out looking like a cafeteria lady had splattered it onto a plate... I was genuinely impressed by the presentation instead. The potato "taquitos" were bigger than I expected so don't let the "itos" fool you. They were crispy, flavorful, filling, and honestly so delicious. Those get a 5/5 from me. My drink was also incredible. It was refreshing, especially with how hot the day was, and had just the right amount of alcohol. The presentation was so cute I almost felt bad ruining it. Easily one of the best drinks I've had in the Burbank area -- 5/5. The carne asada taco wasn't as impressive as the potato taquitos, so I'd give that a 3/5. The chile toreado was definitely spicy, it just needed to be salted a little more but otherwise no complaints! I need to remind myself not to be too quick to judge because I was genuinely surprised by this place. The décor wasn't fully my personal style, but the food and drinks more than made up for it. I'd definitely come back again, especially for the potato taquitos and drinks.
