Food, ambience, pricing, and service are ALL 10/10. Staff are very nice, welcoming, and kind. Leftovers and takeaway are packaged efficiently and well. The resturant itself is tidy, well maintained, clean, welcoming, and very cute. Cool chairs and unique decorations. Would be a wonderful place to host a get together or birthday party. Unique condiments and sauces come with many items. All ingredients are of high quality. The dishes here are very interesting and special, many dishes I have not seen or heard of before. Everything was good. I can be picky and sensitive so thats huge coming from me. Flavorful Thai tea comes in either soy or dairy option - I loved it. Very good and not watered down like some other places. Drumsticks were very unique and very fun to eat. So tasty and delicious, I seriously cannot imagine how much work is put into these intricate dishes. Incredible prices. The value for such hearty and healthy food cannot be beat. Love that there was SO many vegan options and the restaurant is fully vegetarian. I was heartbroken to see this place mostly empty. Please come support. You will not regret it. Best food my partner and I have had in years (vegan or otherwise!)

I haven't eaten here in years, but a friend of mine posted she was told by her dr to go vegan and…read moreshe was looking for suggestions. I reached out immediately and said let's meet for lunch at Veggie Today. So glad we did- we both really enjoyed our lunches. We ordered off the lunch menu for $8.95 that includes white or brown rice. My friend had the Mongolian beef and I had the lemongrass beef. We both agreed we would happily go eat here all the time. So glad this restaurant is back on my radar. The restaurant was clean and cozy. We went after the lunch rush and were able to sit and visit without feeling we were in the way. Most of the parking on the street is either 60 min or 90 min. The parking structure across the street doesn't have the time restrictions

The salsa had a little kick without being overly spicy, and the corn ribs were easily the highlight of the meal--definitely my favorite dish. I ordered the chicken al pastor tacos and, unfortunately, they were very bland. The chicken didn't have much flavor, and the salsa served with the tacos was also lacking. I did ask for extra pineapple, which added some sweetness and was probably the best part of the tacos. The service was excellent, and the restaurant has a trendy, modern atmosphere. Just know that this isn't a traditional Mexican restaurant--it's more of an upscale, bougie take on Mexican food, similar to Puesto. If you're looking for a fun vibe and good service, it's worth a visit. If you're after bold, authentic Mexican flavors, you may be disappointed.

We ordered a curry chicken wrap that was so flavorful! Pure deliciousness!!!! It consisted of curry chicken with red and green peppers, apricots, raisins and quinoa. Omg!!! The spice yogurt to accompany it was fantastic! It came with a side of crispy sweet potatoe fries! So addictive! Service was excellent! Definitely one of my favorite places to eat when I visit my daughter!

Great area for a weekend brunch type vibe. The street is cute and looks like it has a lot going on…read more Lots of metered parking lots nearby so parking wasn't that bad. A friend of mine drove a few blocks down the road and found free street parking too. The place itself has multiple seating options. It has an outside patio, casual indoor and even bar seating and what looks like a nicer dining area for occasions and birthdays with very nice chandeliers and tables. We sat in the nice room for my friends bday. We were a group of 13 and our total was about $500 for brunch items, mímosas. They gave a bread pudding for the bday girl on the house. I felt like the prices are a bit high but that's a personal opinion. I got the frittata which tasted alright and it was $24. Service was decent but nothing too good or too bad that stood out from it either. If they have a happy hour, I'll come back again because the ambiance is very nice. I was told that my dish comes with a free side salad but i was later charged for a sad looking garden lettuce salad for $8. I still don't know what happened there. Maybe a miscommunication.

The food and service here are really excellent…read more We started with a chicken soup that was a wonderful blend of flavors. We also had roti with a curry sauce and chicken satay. Our favorite main dish was the pumpkin pork, which was served in a squash shell. Incredible presentation and excellent seasoning, without being very spicy. We bulked up with shrimp pad Thai. We rounded out the meal with marinated beef, which was a little tough but tasted great. We also had 3 orders of rice for 5 people. The service was so kind and welcoming, while the food was very, very good. We will definitely be back. The only negative was the noise level. The restaurant was packed, with many groups waiting to be seated.

The food is consistently delicious and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. While I've had more authentic thai food elsewhere, I appreciate that the dishes here feel lighter and don't leave me feeling overly full or greasy afterward. This has become one of my go-to lunch spots because the quality is always reliable, whether I dine in or order takeout. The service has consistently been fine--nothing particularly memorable, but never a bad experience either. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a fresh, flavorful, and dependable meal.

There's no official indoor seating but we love sitting out on the covered patio. The vibes are always so pleasant. They're always coming out with new flavors, and everything we've tried has been delicious. The avocado toast is amazing, the green goddess is a favorite, and I love their chickpea salad to go too. The employees are always happy to see you and so friendly, and the other people you run into there are just as nice. They even have little toys for the kids, which is such a nice touch, especially in the weekends when the waits are longer (pro-tip: order online before going). Just a happy place to go for delicious coffee and food. Definitely a treat!

Good for a lively night out, not for a quiet conversation. Would I return? Not sure. Food: Good for what it is, but definitely on the pricier side. The steak frites were the highlight. Fries were abundant and heavily truffled, and the hangar steak was a delight. The mussels, on the other hand, were average and served not very hot, with a pretty plain sauce. The two pieces of bread that came with it weren't nearly enough to handle the whole dish. The short rib was tender but slightly dry, though the polenta and carrots underneath were a nice touch. Drinks: The tea thyme was a bit too fragrant, almost perfume-like. Tasted fine, but next time I'd probably go boozier instead. The lemonade was plain, but that's to be expected. Ambiance: Quite noisy, with a few TVs going and the bar packed. Understandable for a Friday, but we had to raise our voices to hold a conversation, even at a 5:30 reservation. Things really picked up around 6-6:15pm. Service: Our server did her job and gave solid suggestions when asked, though I don't recall her introducing herself. She kept us stocked with extra plates and silverware and took good care of us overall.

(There button on the right steering wheel must be pressed down until it beeps, then you use your voice command.) The nearest sushi restaurant in my Tesla car screen was Kiku Sushi! This is a little gem of a restaurant with a cute interior dining area with television for people watching the FIFA games, a good bar selection of you imbibe, and a delightful patio where you can sit under a covered awning. The place has a small parking lot along the side of the restaurant located in the back. If you're shopping at Whole Foods or Mount Diablo Foods, this restaurant is located down the street from them on a side street on Lafayette Circle. I spoke to the owner, they only use the best quality sushi: Atlantic King salmon, bluefin tuna, the shrimp is cooked here, white tuna is from Korea, the onso hamachi is from Hokkaido. The onagi is high end, and ordered from Thailand. There are two other Kiku Sushi & Vegetarian locations, one is located in north Berkeley, 1416 Gilman Street, Berkeley, CA, and one is located at 538 Valencia Street, San Francisco. The food is absolutely delicious, nicely presented, and the sashimi is cut into very thick slices. I ordered my favorite go-to dish, chirashi sushi, and a specially ordered eel handroll with rice and veggies. The matcha tempura ice cream was delicious, too. You must absolutely come and try out this place, they play relaxing, nice jazz music in the background, it was good for a very nice before-the-250th-anniversary of our country, the 4th of July! Check out this place, you surely won't be disappointed!
