I stopped by and got the chicken burger with a Thai tea. Everything came out really fast and the food was great. The burger was super flavorful and hit the spot. The best part was the people. The staff and the owner all came by to talk and were really kind and welcoming, which made it feel more personal. There's street parking available too, so it was easy to stop in. I'd definitely come back. read more

This is one of my favorite vegan spots in DTLA. The Kra Pao is so good -- perfectly seasoned, just the right amount of spice, and always hits when I need something flavorful and filling. I brought a gluten-free friend here once who had never been, and now she's a regular. That's the kind of impact this place has. The space is chill and cozy, great for solo meals or getting some work done. The energy here always feels warm and welcoming. Go-To: Kra Pao Fully vegan Work-friendly vibe Gluten-free friendly options available read more

When we walked in it smelt clean, but also some cooking going on. We were greeted immediately with kindness. Offered water with lemon clean tables. We ordered a few different things, but the vegan chicken wings were the life of the party. read more

This review is based on my takeout order: We ordered two breakfast burritos, one with corn tortilla & one w flour. First of all, the burritos were a good size, so that it why they get one star instead of 0. When i ordered online, the menu listed soy cheese as one of the ingredients in the burrito but neither burrito had cheese in it. There was no flavor to the burrito, the salsa they give you on the side was the only thing saving it. Overall I would only come back to possibly try their pancakes. read more

Oh this place is amazing! Can't go wrong here. I crave this food on a regular basis. While I am vegan,, I would say this is a great spot for people who are veg curious, not vegan at all, or lifelong vegan. Atmosphere is so chill and calming. Staff are so freakin nice and fast. Definitely eat here, you won't be disappointed. read more

Great food and I'm not even vegan, friendly staff . Bean burger was delicious. enjoyed the ambience and music.

Everyone loves a good joint right? Right! Vegan Thai dishes and Plant Based Cuisine as they describe their joint, and I ain't mad at it! They have so many delicious options to choose from, yall forget it ain't meat in it! One favorite was the chicken quesadilla, not too cheesy (vegan cheese of course) And the pumpkin curry, so creamy! Honorable mention to the hot drum sticks with the ranch because flavor and textures on point. A lot of the dishes had the chili symbol on the menu, so I was expecting some heat, especially for Thai food, but it was not one flame in sight, maybe next time we have to ask for more spicy? Nonetheless, for healthier alternatives, I enjoyed our experience , the parking was surprisingly easy for dtla (meters) the place was quiet and clean, the staff was super friendly, the food options were tasty and i would come back to try some other dishes for sure! 3.5/5 for now, i have more dishes we want to try. Happy eats, loves! ^_^ read more

It's my first time at The Vegan Joint locations and since I had Jury Duty and left early I wanted to try something new. This popped up in the vicinity as I was getting gas on my way home. I was greeted upon my arrival, there's no parking lot but I was able to find parking at the meters on 10th st. It was still early breakfast and the place was immaculately clean! Paula was my server and was so incredibly sweet. There were also 2 guys working, one was in the back, I'm assuming chef who greeted me as well, and a staff cleaning the windows. I was really happy with how spotless the place was and a little overwhelmed with all my options I got to choose from! A good overwhelmed. I'm a vegetarian but am not a fan of mushrooms but I do love spice. I ordered the Thai tea, it was sweet and yummy. Paula also bbrought me a side of water with a lemon slice which I thought was so thoughtful. I ordered the wings because I'm a sucker for wings, it's a 4 count with raw celery and thetheir version of blue cheese. The wing sauce and blue cheese sauce were soooo good! Paula did tell me the wings are their top seller and I can see why! I was only able to scarf 3 down and saved the extra wing. I then orderd the VJ breakfast burrito (they have breakfast all day!) with brown rice added and requested a side of their spiciest sauce! The burrito came out hot, ingredients were fresh, and the sauce did not disappoint! I really was happy with everything here and am already planning my next order for my next visit! I also purchased their spicy Jerry from Vegan Soyami and am excited to give that a try too! 10/10 would absolutely recommend! read more

Came here for a late breakfast ona Sunday. Of course being Sunday, I was the only one where. I ordered a Build-Your-Own-Omlet. I liked the "egg" part of the omelet. It's made of tofu and wheat and gives it almost a temale like texture which I like. The veggies I chose were spinach, mushrooms and onions. It came with cheese. Flavors are clean, but the plate came with mild salsa which gave the omelet a nice little kick. The guac is creamy and even more spicy than the salsa which is too much for me. Overall good food, service and price. read more

If you can look past the sketchy neighborhood this place is worth a try! Pretty intimate space. The service was 10/10, they're very nice in there. Made it feel homey. They also have a Polaroid camera for you to take pictures with, which was an expected bonus! Ok on to the good stuff... The drinks we ordered were refreshing. No complaints. The pancakes had phenomenal flavor, though as you can tell by the picture they're very thick. Get you some extra syrup if you like moisture on your pancakes because that thickness can be a lot to handle without it. Hashbrowns, delish. What I truly appreciate about this place is their generosity in portion size. It's not common for a vegan place to leave you feeling full without breaking the bank. I'd definitely go back here . read more

I'm on a veggie restriction mode for a few weeks and I was looking for a veggie restaurant near work and I found this place within walking distance. It's nice and clean. The food is delicious and portion size is great! Service was great also. It's very attentive and welcoming. My stomach didn't grumble or anything after eating here that means it's good food. Check them out! read more

My new favorite vegan restaurant! The garlic chicken burger had so much flavor, I loved the bean sprouts and pickles that complimented it. The spring rolls were very fresh and juicy with a delicious peanut sauce. My favorite item on the menu were the hot drum sticks! Wow!! I've never had vegan chicken be THIS GOOD. So tender with a great spicy kick. The sauce was incredible. The owner and staff are so attentive and kind. There's lots of metered parking around the area and it's easy to find. The interior is gorgeous. Obsessed with the flower wall! I love it when small businesses with great hearts behind the names flourish. I'll definitely be coming here again!! read more

Food delivery came fast. Papaya Salad is a 5/5 Stars at medium spice level. This place saved the day because the previous restaurant from earlier today was incompetent. But yes, the papaya salad here is a sure winner, consistently good. Thanks!! read more

When I think of Vegan food I think everything is bland with no taste. Not this place. Their pumpkin curry and chicken quesadilla was the winner here. Wasn't really a fan of their hot wings though. The place itself is neat and tidy and the service was good. Overall rating 3.5 stars read more

Doesn't feel very Thai for a Thai but the food was very delicious. For someone who is not vegan to try this vegan food, it's great!! And I am comfortable replacing my everyday meal to be this ones. Chicken is amazing! One thing bothers me is that the green curry doesn't look or taste like green curry. It's delicious but just not what I expected despite adding fusion element to it. Parking was hard to find. Street park with meter around the location but free spots are a block away. read more

Customer service has a lot to be desired and the food is MID! I called for a takeout order and specified that I want TWO ORDERS of fresh spring rolls both with extra peanut sauce. I talked to Puttikorn W on the phone and double checked if he got everything, he said yes and abruptly hung up. I left it alone. Come to find out he gave me ONE order. Granted he didn't charge me but he surely didn't listen like I asked. Ambiance is lame, it's a hole in the wall with not much of a nice scenery in the neighborhood. I had grabbed what I thought was two appetizers and two soups since all of their food is nasty to me except the appetizers and soup. He told me the loaded breakfast burrito was popular but I've had it and I wasn't impressed at all. I'm a vegan chef for context and I haven't ate here in well over three years because they're so mid, but I decided to give them another chance. They can't even follow simple instructions on the phone even when you repeat yourself kindly and double check. I will NEVER in my life support this place and will be glad when they finally close down! Someone else picked up my food, so I just trusted the restaurant to get my order right. If I were the one picking the food up, I'd unbag it and check myself. read more

The customer service is awesome and the food was super tasty! A must try if you're in the area of downtown LA. Will definitely go again

My husband and I are visiting Los Angeles and stopped by the Vegan Joint for lunch, and everything was fantastic! I had the tacos, chocolate cake, and lemonade, while my husband enjoyed the Italian almond omelette, lemon tea, and carrot cake. Every bite was delicious, the service was excellent, and the bathroom wasn't bad. read more

This place was so good! Everything I've had so far has been delicious. Can't say anything bad about this place.

Love everything about this place. My usual order is the pad see ew with chicken and my favorite, butterfly pea tea. We also love the chicken wings, the bbq jackfruit sandwich and the sweet potato fries. read more

Fantastic! All four of us loved our meals, served quickly and with a smile. Highly recommended.

One of my favorite places to order take-out! Love their appetizers, they are great for a quick lunch! The spring rolls are my absolute favorite! Their thai tea is very delicious and creamy! I also love the brand of their unsweet jasmine green tea! I have never been to the location so I cannot comment on service or the availability of seating/parking, but I have ALWAYS been happy with my food and the quality! This is definitely a go-to for a quick yummy lunch! read more

I was amazed to find a delicious vegan place in the area while working. I had the tropical pancakes and chicken, & my parents had the vegetable tofu soup, and garlic burger. Great portions, I even had some to take home. My parents aren't vegan but they really loved the food! The server & staff were very friendly. They said they are moving to a bigger location next door soon. It was bit pricey but glad to have some healthy food. Looking forward to coming here again! read more

The Vegan Joint - Taco Plate - Vegan Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Food: Pumpkin curry - good/ spicy Spicy eggplant - good/spicy rice can be dry Spicy noodle soup - good/spicy excellent for when you're feeling under the weather. Pad Thai - good meal for one person, you can order it to your liking regarding how spicy. Comes with a slice a lime and lots of nuts. Chow main - sometime they can overdo it with the Unions but still a good dish Pad see ew - good hardy dish Fresh spring rolls - good Miso soup - good small soup Lemon Thai iced tea if off the roof! Parking: sucks! You are in the middle of downtown Los Angeles so bring your quarters to feed the meters. Customer service: Meh, there is this one guy he is great but otherwise the other servers lacks customer service and are not quick enough for waitressing. The only reason why this place gets 2 stars is because they haven't been open the last few times I went. They didn't even have a notice outside. It's unreliable when a business should be open and it's not. I have a limited time for lunch and when I go out of my way to drive to a business that should be open and it's not, that robs me of my personal lunch time from work. This place recently opened on the corner from moving location, personally I didn't ever notice a sign or any employee saying that they would be moving to the corner so the communication to faithful clientele sucks. Ambiance is nice inside, it's clean. Just don't look outside, unfortunately it's DTLA and there are several vagrants and trash all over. Sorry no photos the restaurant was closed for dine in again today. Let me do math so I used to go once a week for the last few months. There's usually 2 of us and between both of us we spend $30ish x 4 times a month ... 12 months in a year ... math... estimated $1,440 yearly I would spend if this establishment I don't feel like wasting my lunch time or money in a establishment that doesn't care for its customers- meh read more

bean burger delicious but falls apart they charge you $4 and do t tell you if you dine in

This place is bomb. I ordered the lentil quesadilla and pumpkin curry. 5/5 for both dishes and excited to try more. I definitely recommend

Just discovered this place with my family and we are in love with all the dishes here, as well as the butterfly pea tea (blue drink). I got the pineapple curry which tasted so good. I really like how there were a lot of options to chose from! And I will definitely be back for the butterfly pea tea. I just need to know how they made this? Did they add honey? Agave? Pandan mix? I forgot to ask, someone pls let me know thank you! read more

Delicious food, great service! Best Vegan Restaurant I've ever tried you won't even know your eating vegan food.

I have never been treated so disrespectful in my entire life. This was my first time coming to this restaurant and I saw no one behind the counter to take my order when I entered the restaurant but a man who was waiting on the side to pick up his order. So then I stepped up to the counter and said hello and some guy yelling from the back said if you can't wait while I'm taking a phone order then you can leave. And I said huh? Was he talking to me? I asked the man who was standing behind me.... He said wow! And he kept texting on his phone. Then the guy from the back came out and gave the guy his food and said to me that I can leave and that he doesn't have to take my order bye you can leave now. The worse place of business I've ever been to. I will never come here ever again. read more

This is honestly one of my favourite vegan restaurants of all time in all of Los Angeles and I have tried a lot of restaurants so that is saying something. My food was packaged in a way so the food stayed fresh and hot during my 40 minute drive home which I appreciate. I don't write reviews often but just really felt the need to write one because I love this place so much. The employees are always so friendly and so accommodating! There have even American style food items and also a full breakfast menu too which is great...... but I honestly just love the Thai options so much. There is another location in downtown but the parking tends to be a pain so I prefer to go to the location in Culver City. Here you can just park in the neighbourhoods nearby with no issue and without having to pay a parking meter. read more

The food here is good however the one in downtown be sure to pay for parking as you could get a ticket. All vegan food. Focus on Thai food. I had vegan tofu burrito and guest had the rice and tofu. It's basically Asian food with high use of tofu. Overall good l. I would go back and plan to do so next time up there. read more

I'm glad there's a healthy place that people can go that are busy working in downtown LA ! Everybody deserves a healthy meal. After we ordered a meal We were we were drinking down our really super healthy juices . We started talking to an employee from a neighboring business . He started telling us about his vegan journey and how he lost 200 pounds. Something to be proud about. I'm definitely not there yet. But hopefully soon. This place is so vegan and they don't even have honey. Did you know that honey is not vegan. That's silly I just never thought of it before. So if you want to eat your chicken nuggets with honey you better save your package from Popeyes read more

I was working in the area and was debating between this, the korean place in the corner or the generic ass chinese restaurant around the corner. I decided to go vegan for lunch since I felt fat at the time. Food: Menu seems very asian to me. I ordered a Pad Sew Ew and low and behold it tasted pretty damn good. Must be a seasoned wok chef in the back because the noodles had the breath of the wok aura all over it. Service: Service was a bit slow but the lady was very nice. Environment: Parking can be troubling. Not a place to go to specifically but if you're in the area check em out. Price: Odd that vegetarian places always charge you more than places that have meet in the same dish. Food: 4 Service: 3 Environment: 3 Price: 3 read more
