Just about to return our EV rental at LAX and realize I'll be hungry on the plane. Quick search = discovering Vegainz and omg, how did it take me so many years to discover it!? It's so so so good I am at a loss for words. There are gf items too. An airport that I used to dread, now I can't wait to fly into. Yummmm read more

I really wanted to like this place, but it just didnt work for us. My boyfriend and I stopped in to order some lunch and we ordered a "chicken" wrap and "chicken" sandwich. We expected something different. In both, the "chicken" was fried like little nugget mushroom pieces instead of in patty form. Theres so many mushrooms, you can't actually eat the burger like a burger. You have to pick at it like nuggets. We both had vegan food before and although we are not hardcore vegans, we expected something else. Other vegan places use jackfruit for their "chicken" and it's not fried and very tasty. They really should advertise it as a mushroom burger because it doesn't taste in the least bit like chicken. The "chicken" lacked a lot of flavor, it was chewy like maybe it's frozen before? I was literally rotating different sauces to try and make the wrap taste better. Perhaps if you're hardcore vegan and love mushrooms, this place will work for you, but if you're used to flavorful food, I'd skip these two items. Neither of us finished the meal and we were out $34. Service and ambiance was nice. I just wish we liked the food more. read more

Saw this place on IG and was in the area so wanted to check it out. I had a sweet tooth so got a Strawberry Tamarind Sea Moss Juice. ($10) I couldn't taste the tamarind too well but I'd say the juice was a 7.5/10. I also got a spelt cake ($9.50) cause they were out of the mango cheese cake. It was actually pretty good 8.5/10. Was told Spelt is a type of Ancient Greek grain and it was solid dessert. I shared with my friends and liked it as well. It has a banana filling inside that we really enjoyed. I would get this cake again. If I'm ever in this area again I would give the food a try. It has a nice little seating area. The parking is just street parking. read more

Driving by you might think this is a weed shop....but honestly eclectic excellence is the only way I can describe the ambiance! There's literally something for everyone even a mortal combat retro gaming console to round out the concrete jungle decor. Let me elaborate there's a beautiful mix of artistic graffiti style street art and beautiful synthetic greenery and a wildlife video playing on the big screen with lo-fi music chilling in the background. The menu is a video menu and it's your guess what's in anything. You order at the counter where the cashier is ready for you super attentive and has a communal feel as I observed interactions with one of the regulars! I want the sushi but there's no breakdown of what's in it surf and turf sushi? What does that mean for a vegan place? I overcome my analysis paralysis by way of what I see playing on the screen to the right. The alkalize sushi roll that looks good.... I still have no idea what's in it How do you want it with chickpeas, crispy mushrooms or both. Let's go for both! I still don't know what else is in it, I ask about the juice of the day is mango and there's SOURSOP!?! Lord I'm SOLD!!!! Ok and the desert is looking tasty I'm going all in! With getting my food to-go, From ordering until I got my food was around 10min. When my order is ready my name called I'm then asked if I want any sauces she lists them off all sound amazing but for a sushi like roll I'm going with the buffalo hot sauce. She then grabs a juice the desert and before I leave I have to try it! One mistake I wanted the soursop juice but got the mango instead but I'm not upset it was perfect! Fresh ripe pure blended mango god that was so good!!! Now the roll.... I take a bite and I'm nearly crying it's so good. Nori outside quinoa instead of rice, garbanzo bean, crispy mushroom, avocado and I have no idea what else is in it!!! LOL It was flavorful and filling! I could just get the roll and be good the buffalo sauce is not necessary but even that seems house made and is delish. Like how TF do I have this epic abundant meal with drink and desert and walk out at $32.50 pre tip?!?! The desert is a big square piece of mango glaze topped cheesecake on a raw walnut crust. To be honest this wasn't very cheesecake like it was smooth creamy light but filling, it reminded me of a tres leches or could be an epic tiramisu! Needless to say as its own thing it's perfection! After eating everything I was full but none of the food was super heavy or super fatty so I thankfully did NOT regret my food choices afterwards LOL! Next time and, I'm going back, I will get the roll with only the crispy mushroom and I want my soursop! So good and such a hidden gem and actually affordable! Minus one star as the menu for a newb has no descriptions of the items and to accost the cashier with questions holding up the line is not ok. Minor factor with the cheesecake it's not like what someone would expect from a cheesecake, like zero tangy flavor profile and water based instead of fatty. I'm not upset but it will throw people off and menu clarity will alleviate any issues! read more

Food poisoning, food tasted 6.5/10, and the oil was old like so old that you could heavily taste that it was old. I have been vegan for 10 years so I was super excited to try the food. My friend I both ordered the fried chicken (oyster mushroom) burger with fries and I also ordered the shroom burger. The shroom burger was super heavy and relied heavily on the sauces for flavor. The fried oyster mushroom chicken burger was the better food option and still tasted like it was cooked in old oil and lacked seasoning. Their fries was by far the worst tho! They were undercooked, fried in old oil, and genuinely with the fried chicken burger made both of us feel super sick. The ambiance wasn't the best, all the tables and floor was dirty. The service was bad at first, but then eventually got better, but still just wasn't a great or nice experience. I tried, but I'm so sorry I do NOT recommend. read more

Of all the vegan locations I've tried this has to be the worst and least tasty vegan food. No flavor at all no sauce not enough options. Customer service was ok. I wouldn't recommend read more

VegainzLA - Vegan steak tacos - Vegan Near Me - Inglewood, California

I love VegainzLA, unfortunately there aren't too many vegan/plant based restaurants in this area, and even less that are as tasty as Vegainz. I love their potatoes, their fried oyster mushrooms, and their BIRRIA OH MY GOSH. I also love their sauces and drinks. I love how connected the owner is to his establishment and how personalalbe he is. I'm not in love with their macaroni (it seems like most vegan spots can't get the macaroni right) and I wish they had a more convenient way to see their menu (a website, a shareable PDF) but other than that, I have few notes. read more

I would say it's about a 4.5 but I'll round up. The service and ambiance are both stellar and the food was also delicious!! I got the breakfast burrito and loaded fries. Definitely thought they were excellent. Also it' nice to support an all vegan restaurant. Giving them extra points for their juice (which was delicious and unique) and the Mortal Kombat machine was epic too! Can't wait to come back. I do wish they had a deal for people who review on Yelp or Google. I appreciated they had a discount code posted around the store so people who visit can find it. I also think a loyalty program of some kind would be cool. read more

The food was amazing I had Berria mushroom tacos, so tasty and spicy with a large amount of mushrooms nestled in a delicious tortilla with an sauce that was fresh and warm. Not little street tacos but an old school size. My guy had a burrito and he said it was delicious, also mushroom Service at window, the owner was polite and friendly and was excited about establishment. The dining area isn't large but we found a booth right away and enjoyed our meal. Definitely will return to try other vegan and healthy options read more

I love when vegan and healthier options are closer in the city and was interested in seeing what all they had to offer! I thought the service was extremely helpful as she gave us advice from a non-vegan's perspective which helped make the choices easier. I found the fries to be different but pretty good as well as the chicken wrap they offered. I wanted to enjoy the desserts but they didn't do it for me unfortunately but regardless glad I got to try it out. read more

Came in last night after hating all day and was not disappointed. I ordered the Schicken sandwich and regular potato fries and the fresh soursop juice. I noticed the juice was very fresh and delicious as I drank it while I waited for my order. Once I got my order I was pleasantly surprised that they don't skimp out on the portions, there were plenty of fries and mushrooms on my sandwich and I ended up taking half the sandwich home. I definitely recommend coming here because the service was good and the food. read more

I don't know. I love vegan food and used to be hard core. I drove to this spot after I saw a tik tok video. I wasn't sure what to get and the lady gave me suggestions but nothing sounded great. I opted for the "steak" taco and chow mean with "chicken". I also grabbed the strawberry/guava sea moss concoction for 10 bucks. That wasn't very good and I still have most of it in my fridge. Taco was fine. Mushy but flavored nicely. I would get that again. Chow Mein was confusing. I took 2 bites and I don't know if the flavor is fighting each other or its just a bad dish. It doesn't even taste like chow mean! The chicken does not go with the chow mein as it's seasoned differently. I will try them once more but not any time soon. I won't get that drink again...I will not get the pasta dish either. Also, service was fine with the young lady but then her boss started talking to her about the fridge or some business stuff while she was finishing up with me. He never glanced my way, said excuse me or smiled. He acted like I wasn't even there. My total was 32 or 35 dollars. I don't know...customer service is top for me and if a business doesn't have it, why should I patronize them?! I was disappointed with my meal. There was nothing of note to make me wanna return. Oh, well... read more

This is a wonderful place, and I'm even a serious vegan eater, but I enjoy eating their chicken sandwiches, always worth each and every bite! Crispy, crunchy, a food lover's delight! Their sauces are a blast! Their food is amazing and if you ever want good, healthy vegan food that is comparable to other eateries, this is your spot! read more

It is a small eatery on the corner in Inglewood. The inside is small and looks like a cute neighborhood joint. The menu listed many favorites seen in non vegan restaurants so that was comforting. I ordered the natural cut fries, steak, fried chicken and birria tacos. The fries were tasty but I wish they were a bit crisper. The fried chicken taco made with oyster mushrooms was so good along with the birria taco, nice flavor. The steak was not my favorite, it has an unseasoned mushroom taste which was not enjoyed by my taste buds! All in all, the staff were polite and service was quick, i received my order quickly. read more

I had the chickpea tuna wrap here with cilantro dressing. It was super impressive. I also paired it with a soursop juice- it was DELICIOUS and not overly sweet at all. The atmosphere is chill- decorated in a cute cafe jungle theme with this awesome projector that mimics art on the walls. I do want to try the other food but was on a budget when I came in. I'll definitely come back when I'm in the area! The recipes look super delicious and creative. read more

Drove the distance to try this spot and I'm not mad. Soursop juice was buy one get one free and it cleaned me out. 1st time tasting it and love the pairing with pineapple juice. Tenders were cooked extra crispy by request and well seasoned. Fried cauliflower I will ask to fry harder next time and extra seasoning. Sauces are fire. I ate on that food for 2 days. Def worth the drive and hype. Ample street parking. Plenty of indoor seating. It's a cool vibe and hope they continue to do well and stick around. read more

Not the best food but decent. The food lacks flavor but the sauces make up for it. I prefer seasoned food over adding hot sauce or any sauce for that matter. I would try it again though. read more

Found this place through instagram and I'm glad I did. I ordered the alkaline loaded Mac and the guy at the register said I could do half Mac and half pesto, so I did and it was amazing! Soooo good. My partner ordered the shicken wrap which was also delicious. We received three different sauces on the side that worked so well with the wrap. I was honestly glad that this place wasn't all hype and actually had good flavor to back it up. I would definitely come back and I think everyone should give it a try. If the flavor alone won't keep you coming back the ingredients sure will. They use avocado oil, oyster mushrooms and chickpea base flour for most of their food, and it's such a relief from other vegan places that are soy based only. As someone who is intolerant to soy, I really appreciate that this vegan place didn't give in to an easy way to produce vegan fast food. Thank you! Oh I almost forgot! Their mango cheezcake is to die for! It's the cake that gives on giving, after that initial bite, the flavors not only linger but also twirl in your mouth. It's really good, even if you're not vegan, you should give the mango cheezcake a try, you won't regret it. If you're on the fence on this place, do it! It's worth it! read more

Location: it's on a corner and parking can be found behind the restaurant. It's easy to drive past it but if you are searching for vegan options this has soo many options from salads, wraps, cauliflower bites, fried bananas and soo much more. Inside they have seating options or you can order to go which we opted for since we were heading to an event at sofi. It's about 15 minutes from sofi but under 6 miles from sofi stadium. Staff was friendly, and provided his recommendations which was helpful. The food was delicious and my favorite was the "shiken wrap" with tons of veggies and quality of the wrap. He gave us several sauces to try and one was a little spicy but perfect for the wrap. Everything was made fresh upon ordering and I noticed they do have desserts ready but didn't get a chance to try it. Inside it was quiet and clean with a lot of detail in the paintings inside. Very calm inside read more

Ordered take out from VegainzLA. Their online website wasn't working but I was able to call in. Make sure you're calling the right one as there's multiple locations. It's a small shop with indoor and outdoor seating. Steak Wrap - Super flavorful but it kinda all had the same taste. Really wished there was another component that brought some freshness or acidity to the wrap. The texture of the mushrooms also made the wrap super chewy. The choice of greens inside (I think it was either kale or chard), also made it difficult to chew. I did appreciate its size for the price and how spicy it was. I think I might have chosen the wrong menu item. I don't want to write this place off even though I didn't love my meal. I really want to try their "chicken" sandwich which I believe is their most popular item. Also appreciated how they gave out free sauces. Going to give this place another shot next time I'm in the area! read more

VegainzLA - Spelt tacos krispy Shicken mushroom - Vegan Near Me - Inglewood, California

OMG! My Daughter and I just left this spot and heading back to Anaheim area. Ok, I DON'T usually leave reviews but in THIS case and $75 later, you are going to get one and it's real! We started with the soursop and it was not that good. We've had way better! There were multiple hard bits of something in there. (Never had that in soursop before which is one of our favorite drinks)! Next we had the natural cut fries which were very bland but palitable. Next, the Shicken sandwich! What in the mushroom world is this!!! Not good. The whole thing was bits of fried mushroom pieces falling out everywhere which made it difficult to eat and it had no flavor. Both our stomachs started to not feel so well. Asked, if they had a restroom and he said not for public. Hmmm, isn't that a code violation? Just saying, let's get it right when people are dining in. Perhaps an outhouse for bubbling stomachs!!! (Please figure that out, respectfully). So, we decided to leave. We had already bought 2 blueberry mango seamoss drink for the road and started to head home. I thought let's try our drinks, perhaps it will make us feel better......The first sip was pure NASTINESS!!!...I said OH NOOOO, THIS IS GROSS!!! I know I've had these ingredients in a smoothie before and it tasted healthy and yummy but THIS ONE....nothing yummy about it at all!! Perhaps it had rotten fruit in it or the seamoss not washed well or whatever, I DON'T KNOW! What I do know is we won't be coming back and what I wish I knew is how can I get my $75 back!!! I do have cash app: $Dreamspell1 just in case there's a heart felt moment from the owner. Anyway, I'm sorry I had to write this review but nobody wants to waste money or just let this go when something needed to be said! My daughter and I was looking for a Sunday treat but this turned out to be a trick with the high reviews!!! I am writing this from my toilet after my daughter's wonderful tummy episode. Something was not right! Thanks vegainzLA. read more

Had an amazing lunch here yesterday after picking my mom up from the airport. It's not too far from LAX and the parking was very easy with ample street parking. The restaurant had both inside and outside seating available. We opted for indoor seating, as the booths looked comfy. It was nearly empty when we arrived and the employee there was friendly when greeting us. I loved how they labeled the customer favorites and my mom and I both opted for the shicken wrap and a mango juice. Both were so delicious! I loved how they use veggies as meat alternative options as I'm not a fan of processed fake meats. I loved the fried oyster mushrooms and the marinade was exquisite! They gave us three different sauces to try and they all had their own unique savory flavors and were creamy and delectable. The juice was sweet and refreshing, but not sickeningly so. The desserts looked enticing, but we were too full to try! I can't wait to return to try more of their menu items, as many other items were also calling at me! read more

I'm in my car in the blistering heat writing this review because the food was just SO horrible! I'm not sure if they changed the chef, but this is my second time back and it was beyond disappointing -- especially since i traveled 45 mins to come back! I decided to try the Chicken tacos this time and was so excited! Instead, the food was BARELY lukewarm! It tasted like it was sitting out for hours so I returned it. They gave me a fresh order. I picked it up and it had NO green onions, NO bell pepper as advertised. Just arugula and cauliflower. So I returned it since it was missing practically everything. Instead, I decided to get my favorite from my first visit which made me fall in love, which was the Pesto Alfredo. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT. It tasted like muddy mop water. NOTHING like it was the first time which was only 12 days ago. Even the soursop tasted bitter and old today. Maybe it was a hit and miss.. Well, my dog hits harder. And I definitely won't miss this place. So much for a wasted day and money of DISGUSTING food and DISAPPOINTMENT.. I appreciate them trying to rectify but it just got worse and worse. You're better off chewing toe-jam smothered in armpit juice. read more

I ordered the tacos and they are outstanding. The mushroom chick'n is crispy, flavorful and delicious. The veggies are fresh and the crema adds the perfect touch.
