Good, but nowhere near as good as my first visit. This time the Island salad was almost entirely cucumbers. Very odd! The broccoli "beef" and brown rice hot pot were pretty good. Though the glop of noodles on top of the rice was hard to navigate. This time: quite over-priced for what we got. The place was almost empty on a Friday evening: only one other table of two diners. Will not be in a rush to go back again. Maybe weekend lunch service is better??? read more

If you're in Concord and craving some vegan Asian food, this is the place! I've been here a couple times now and have yet to be disappointed. They a have a quite a menu and variety of Asian dishes! A number of things on the menu have faux meat. We ordered an appetizer, salad and some pho to share and were very happy and satisfied! I recommend this place and would definitely come back here! read more

The food is incredible. Had the fried egg roll, wonton soup and mushroom clay pot! The food is tasty and doesn't leave you feeling heavy afterward. The portions are a good size. Food is shareable between two. The place is clean and the staff is very nice! read more

After 4 years, I am finally able to eat Mongolian beef again! (Or any beef) Thanks to this place! I came here around lunch after class. You could park in front or there's parking at the side as well, and it's for an hour. This place is a little hard to notice when driving by so keep an eye out! Lunch specials are $6.75 - very good price especially since dishes come with brown or white rice. I obviously ordered the Mongolian beef and the portions were bigger than expected! Well, for me it was. First bite was a bit chewy, but you know, that's expected for tofu and the flavor was pretty darn good. The brown rice was perfect and there were enough veggies too. I can't wait to come back and hopefully convince my family to come so I can try more dishes! read more

Veggie Today - Mongolian Beef with brown rice - Vegetarian Near Me - Concord, California

I have been here several times with my friend & both times our taste buds were very impressed. Appetizers, soups, clay pots, rice dishes, noodles - we tried them all! What a fantastic vegan/vegetarian fare! Can't wait to go back again & again... Note : They don't serve wine. read more

This is a great find! It's in the bland, Arian, Asian inspired food, everything was very flavorful. The waiter was very patient and explaining things to us. We have. Had the broccoli beef, the spicy noodle soup, eggplant, and basil and vegetable sauté with vegan chicken. They were all very tasty and these particular dishes are all gluten-free as well. There are number of gluten-free options on the menu. Just ask your server. I would definitely come back to this place. read more

Food is amazing! So flavorful and not overly greasy. Portions and prices are excellent! We had basil eggplant, chow mein, and curry clay pot. All so so yummy! Most try this hidden gem for healthy delicious food!!!! read more

100% vegetarian, mostly vegan, mostly tasty (4/5 Green Stars, also). Veggie today is pretty casual and brightly lit, so it has more of a café atmosphere than an intimate restaurant. We had four items and thought that two or three of them were good. The foo young appetizer was a highlight - it was large but not as heavy as other versions that I've had in the past, and had good flavor and a little crunch. The wonton soup was mixed: good flavor in the soup but maybe too heavy on salt (I was so thirsty after it!) and the wonton wrappers were a bit thick (but the filling was good!). The caramelized vegan chicken had good flavor and a nice chewy texture but the dish could have done with a bit more spinach (to justify being called a "bed of spinach" on the menu). The tamarind beef was our least favorite - it was just too sweet for both of us. But other people seem to love that dish so don't let me put you off ordering it; perhaps it's just me - I've rarely found a vegan "beef" dish that I love. Vegan chicken (or just good-old tofu) always seems like a better bet. Both of the protein dishes were pretty light on veggies (esp. the tamarind beef) so bear that in mind when ordering. I'd like to go back and discover some favorites. I'm also giving Veggies Today 4/5 "green stars" for social and environmental impact, based on these reasons: * As stated on their menu: 100% vegetarian. * Almost all items on the menu are vegan (check with your server). The wonton soup is specifically labeled on the menu as not vegan so I think there are only a few dishes that are not vegan. * As anyone who's trying to go plant-based knows, restaurants where you can order almost anything on the menu are a blessing for the movement! * No information about sourcing on the menu (e.g., is the tofu organic?). That's the main downside for me - I like my tofu to be organic, if possible (rice & veggies too). * Drinks are provided by Coke (so they could do better there, but they do have tea). * For people getting take-out, they use standard Chinese take-out boxes and plastic bags (a third area for improvement: compostable boxes and paper bags). Interested in writing green star reviews? If so, contact me or check out the Green Stars Project online! read more

I mean Veggies are good for you right. :) My friend hit me and was like lets go eat but I want it to be healthy. So, I said well let's try Veggie today since I had it book marked. We walked in and it wasn't too busy. The place is small but cute. We got our menus and began browsing. I kept seeing dishes on the menu mentioning meat. With all due respect it's not meat so PLEASE don't call it that. I settled for a vegetable dish with brown rice on the side. The food to me was bland and tasted like cardboard. I would have been much happier eating veg at an indian restaurant where I would have more flavors. The egg rolls had no flavor I had to put soy sauce and other sauces to liven it up. I also could not justify paying $9 for my meal full of vegetables. The sad part was I got hungry an hour later. Another bummer was that the very nice waiter we had couldnt name all the veggies in my dish prior to me ordering. I think I will take my $9 and buy my own vegetables to eat all week long. read more

Best Vietnamese vegetarian and vegan food! My meat eating husband and I shared the tofu egg rolls, the shaking "beef" and the vegetable chow mein with tofu, "chicken", and "beef". The egg rolls were very crispy and hearty, while the chow mein was very proportionate with all of its ingredients. I thought the "beef" balls were a little oily, but he enjoyed them. Service is very friendly and helpful with choosing a dish. Although the server never came over to ask how the food was, I guess they could tell from behind the counter we liked it. We were able to summon the waiter over to get the bill (very reasonable) and I let him know that although the chow mein had mushrooms, (despite my request) my husband ate them and the food was delicious. As a vegetarian new to the area, this is definitely my new spot! read more

Im not a vegetarian, But this place was phenomenal! Their food was superb. I ordered Curry Vegetables, and I have to say, I was impressed. It was tasty, cooked well, and had many good veggies, which I enjoyed. I asked for no mushrooms. They served the food hot, and fresh. All meals are to go, but still very fresh. Vegetarian, vegan or not, try it, if you done't mind eating vegetarian. Excellent customer service, excellent food!!! read more

I had been waiting for VT to open up for dine-in ever since the start of the pandemic. They're finally open for dine in again and I know I'll be coming quite often. I love their spicy noodle soup! That's my go to every time I eat at this restaurant. It's a little spicy, flavorful, hot and comforting. Not only does it contain the noodles and vegan beef, it also has tofu, veggie meatballs (very tasty), and is garnished with thinly sliced onion, jalapeño and sprouts. It's perfect for the cold winter weather. The restaurants ambience is usually calm and quiet, which I appreciate. I like to have Friday dinner dates here for this exact reason. No loud music, no loud people, just quiet music, good conversations and tasty veggie food! read more

Wondering if I caught them on a bad day... The combo soup was really good - fresh ingredients and tasty, but it was all downhill after that. The drumsticks appetizer just didn't have good texture or flavor and the included sauce couldn't save them. My Mongolian chicken didn't look nearly as fresh as the other photos I saw on Yelp - the bell peppers were that faded color that definitely makes me think they were out of a can, and the whole dish wasn't particularly flavorful as a result. Hoping I just caught them at a bad time, but it's going to be a while before I try them again after that experience. read more

Salt & Pepper Shrimp was bomb - reminded me of a jalapeño cheese popper. Loved the veggies too, reminds me of Thai mango salad. I'd come back just for this dish. Spicy vermicelli curry - kind of sweet but I liked it. The potatoes were bomb. I just wish there were more noodles, I felt like there was barely any noodles. Lemongrass chicken - looks like beef, taste like tofu. Lots of gravy. Not great and would never get again. Overall decent place that I'd try again. Decent dishes for decent price. Love that it's vegan Asian food :) read more

Large selection and great service! Swung by after work on my way to the hotel and the food is ready pretty fast! The lotus's salad was my personal favorite. I'll be listing this as one of my go-to's when I'm back in town read more

Nice vegetarian restaurant. Not too many around. My friend found this as a place to eat after we adventured at Mouse Con. I ordered the Sweet and Sour Beer with a side of brown rice, yum! My friends meal was so good, she ordered the curry rice, I really liked hers. Prices range from $10-15 for plates. Yes I'd come back here if in the area. read more

This is my favorite Asian vegan place in the east bay. This place is able to mimic delicious authentic Vietnamese dishes with plant based proteins and flavoring. Also, the best part is that their dishes are not oily like other places for dishes like: bun bo hue, stir fry noodles, egg rolls, etc. Our go to orders are curry chicken, lotus salad, veggie combo soup, bun bo hue, and curry soup. You can't go wrong ordering any dishes here as we've tried almost and liked them. A must try is their curry soup or plate. Last but not least, service here is awesome as well. read more

In quick summary: delicious. Found Veggie Today on Yelp and decided to give them a try. Small restaurant in the middle of a block of other restaurants, with maybe 12 tables. Very friendly service. We didn't know what to order having never dined before, and settled on the lemon grass chicken ginger chicken, salt and pepper shrimp (omg!), and brown rice. My beloved favorite Thai restaurant who shall remain nameless because of my love them, has been dethroned on the curry tip! The ginger chicken o-m-g! Absolute best I've had! I have no idea how the cook made soy taste like chicken chicken but God bless 'em! The potatoes were cooked down perfectly, not too soft not too firm as were the carrots. Service was enough for three meals (hello leftover heaven!). Curry "sauce" had the right thickness, not thin but not overly thick/stiff. My sister had the lemongrass chicken and said it was ok (I did taste it). The salt and pepper shrimp was the star of the night. I literally got out of my seat, walked to the counter and demanded the chef give up the recipe and tell me how soy tastes like shrimp lol. Family secret. Boooo oh well I tried! Will definitely dine at Veggie Today again. If you don't do anything else, get the salt and pepper shrimp, y'all! read more

Spicy Noodle soup 10/10 Fish Clay Pot 9/10 (wish it wasn't as sweet) Chicken drumsticks 10/10 Lemongrass Chicken 10/10 Great Vegan place! Most of the dishes are really good, but top 4 are listed above! read more

Love the potato curry! Definitely a go-to meal for lunch! It includes potatos, carrots, tofu, and some vegan chicken pieces with a generous amount of rice. read more

Sorry to be such a killjoy and mess up all these five star reviews but I just can't do it. I ordered the Mongolian beef and I did not like it at all. The texture of the meat was just too weird for me and the sauce was sickly sweet. I didn't find the white rice that great either. I couldn't eat my dish so my husband kindly swapped his spicy noodle soup with me. His soup was much better. Even the 'meat' texture didn't seem quite so bad. I do have a knack for picking the worst thing on the menu so I'll definitely give this place another try but I expected better with so many five star reviews. Folks were really nice and the portions were generous. read more

good rare veggie option for chinese food in the area. They have difficult hours and no outdoor seating though.

This is an amazing vegan restaurant that is hidden in Concord! Ambience: the place looks old and wore down but that is part of the charm. (FYI: the passed Health inspection report was posted on the wall. Good sign!). The service was great attentive and quick. The food: they don't say anywhere on the menu but everything here is vegan. We got chicken drumsticks and I swear it looked like a chicken! Two chicken curry dishes were amazing so was the eggplant basil. Both the fried rice and chow mein were good. But I preferred the rice, since the chow mein was over cooked. What I really liked about all the dishes, was that every single one had a unique taste. They didn't just add salt or soy sauce to give it flavor. I tasted turmeric, ginger, peppers, curry etc. I loved the way they used spices and made every dish to taste different. I am going back again! read more

3years ago I started this tradition that I have to give up something for a week during Lent season. So those years im only eating vegetarian food for a week until Easter. We were at Concord area and starting to get hungry so we end up looking for a place that served vegetarian food and we found this. (Thanks yelp!) I gotta say im Wowed! I can't believe how tasty the food is. The flavor is just so good, you can tell the spices and herbs is so fresh. Im impressed! And so does my meat eater husband. I told him i can eat this kinda meal everyday, and he said hmmm not everyday but once and twice a week maybe I can. Lol! I would definitely recommend this place not just for vegetarian people but for non vegetarian as well. read more

Was one of the first vegan potato curry's I've had and it's still up there as one of the best. And please try the "foo young", it is an absolute must. All non-vegans I bring here love that dish; probably because it has the fried crunchy goodness they're use to. Oh, and the Sweet and Sour soup is really really good! Doesn't matter if you eat fresh at the restaurant or take it to-go, put it in the fridge, and eat it tomorrow, it's great it maintains its flavor very well - hot or cold. read more

Such a treasure in contra costa county! Good food; go check it out! The spicy pho is a knockout. The Vietnamese crepe is super.

Menu was lackluster, and food was cheaply made. I will say that the waitressing staff was friendly.... Possibly even too friendly... the starred at my wife and I for the entire meal. Overall 3 out of 5 for food selection and quality. If you don't enjoy soy curls/ gluten meat substitute the try something else. read more

Had a wonderful lunch here today! My favorite was the lotus salad! So flavorful and yummy! We also had soup full of vegetables and noodles! Curry dishes were also very good! We're not vegans but enjoyed the food! read more

Another great find thanks to Yelp. Wonderful, diverse menu and delicious food at affordable prices! Service was solid to boot. We got there half an hour before closing on a Saturday and it was less than half full. Food: 1. Tamarind beef: delicious! I've never had tamarind beef before and the flavor was really unique. Very sweet tasting. I loved it! I don't know if vegetarian meat is for everyone, but I really like it. Comes with rice chips. 2. Curry vermicelli: another tasty dish! Mildly spicy and I really enjoyed the potatoes and tofu. I highly recommend this place. Free parking just around the corner. read more

Came on a Friday at 1240 pm. I ordered the salt and pepper squid $13.50 for shrimp but I was craving it. Also brown rice. The shrimp looks deep fried or at least fried. Texture is a bit off but it is vegan. So great for being vegan. The entree came with veggies underneath cauliflower, green bell peppers, broccoli,carrots and zucchini. The veggies were dresses in a sweet and sour type sauce. I was not expecting the sauce Taste was Good but I did not expect the sweet and sour sauce. I would not order again not because it was not good but because I did not want the shrimp fried I give five stars because I want to come back and try other entrees. Service was great. I want to try their lunch special for 6.75. Beats other lunch special prices! read more

I had the eggplant. Very tasty. I was so hungry I ate it all before I took a photo. The lunch special was almost enough but very simple. Just eggplant, tofu, sesame, and rice. I'm trying to stay away from rice. I will come again. My rolfer told me about this spot. It was a good find in this world of fast food and bad carbs. read more

We were very pleasantly surprised by this restaurant! I've eaten a lot of vegan/vegetarian food and tend to not eat the meat replacements, but decided to try the Ginger Chicken. It was delicious! The flavors were delicious and the vegetables (broccoli and carrots) were cooked perfectly, not too crunchy, not overcooked and soggy (which is almost impossible to find or do!). My husband had the Curried Fried Rice with brown rice, and again, delicious, interesting flavors. I typically eat gluten free because of an intolerance but forgot to ask, and suspect the meat replacement probably isn't gf. But I would eat whatever they serve that's gluten free, the flavors are so good! Excellent service. We will definitely be going back! read more

This place is a winner for vegans & vegetarians! I am so thankful & happy I found them. Their food and service had been consistent in nearly a dozen times I've been here. They now have lunch specials(not that they needed them) but a nice addition if you're not ordering family style to share. Even if you're not a vegan or vegetarian, give your system a meaty break. You won't feel so stuffed but you're surely be satisfied with flavor and portions. read more
