Mixed experience. Amazing food but the service killed the overall experience. We drove from Eastside and went around 1:30 pm on a Saturday. Placed an order. The food took an hour-- clearly understaffed. I was very hangry and frustrated but didn't say anything. The staff knew it and knocked off 50% off. They were kind and empathetic-- and that alone deserves 5 stars. Okay things happen! But just hoping these issues are resolved. The food was absolutely banging. The Cajun fries with the spicy Srirancha is a must order. Perfectly crispy thick cut fry with some magic seasoning on top makes us demolish this quickly. My friend got the Oxacan bowl-- what flavors. The rice, slaw, veggies, beans and the sauces were perfection in every bite. My Bahn Mi bowl was okay-- i found the sauces too vinegary so this one is on me. We got a salted pistachio shake which was delicious. read more

Loved this spot! They were really busy but the service was still great. We tried a bunch of things and I was just so excited to be able to have some of my favorites without triggering my allergies! I had so many choices too - the menu is huge! The food was very good and fresh - it didn't feel like they put frozen or microwaved stuff together at all like sometimes vegan options feel like. The vibes were really nice too - the outside patio is dog friendly and they brought our pup a water bowl too. If you want alcohol though you need to be inside or on the back patio (not pet friendly). Will definitely be back to eat my way through more of their menu items! read more

Oh my gosh! The food here is next level! I am a long time meat chef and eater who has recently switched to a plant based diet. I am now a regular at Vital Vegan Bistro. Abosoloutely worth a drive from the Eastside even in Friday traffic! Last night I had the Oxacan Bowl and my son had the Yaki Soba Bowl. Both outstanding! The berry smoothie was also amazing. Chef/Owner, Michael, has spent years crafting these dishes. There must be something about eating vegan because he looks about 15 years younger than his actual age! His wife, Cindy is a server and long time waiter, Chris, greets us by name whenever we're there. Next step for their menu is to add some more desserts. I highly recommend Vital Vegan Bistro--even if you're a meat eater! read more

Highly recommend! I love their robust vegan menu. They have a little bit of everything from smoothies to bowls to Hardy entrées. you can't go wrong there restaurant has a good amount of seating for small and large parties. It's casual where you order at the counter and I'll bring the food out to you. You kind of self serve with the water in the napkins in the silverware bathroom is located at the establishment next-door but overall I'd say that's pretty standard for Seattle again I love this place. Highly recommend & I can't wait till my next visit!! read more

Absolutely amazing. The Whole Bowl and the Thunder Fries were excellent. Great, friendly and attentive service. Highly recommended!

Cute ocean-themed bistro with a vast menu! Despite coming before close, staff was super kind and welcoming -- service was exceptional. Cypress was especially accommodating and had great recommendations! I got the Jack'd & Juicy burger and I was shocked at how stacked it was. The fried onions were an absolute game changer for me! Paired with the pineapple and umami sauce, it turned out exactly as described: sweet, messy, and unforgettable. The burger was a savory delight. I'll be back! read more

Food was fabu! I had the old dirty vegan bastard sandwich. Super spicy, super Yummers. My spouse had the Jacked and juicy burger piled high and had onion rings on it. Yummers again. Great service. The gal next to us had vegan mozzarella sticks and loved them. Parking is a bear in the Fremont District, so plan ahead. Took us 25 mins to find parking but we'll worth it. Google their hours as they are not open every day and close at 8:30. read more

I went last night with an employee/friend to treat her on her birthday and we were blown away that the menu is 100 percent vegan and there were so many choices! The food was amazing and the customer service was beyond wonderful! So excited for this amazing restaurant to be part of our community! read more

This is a beautiful restaurant with some of the best staff and owners. We went in on a weekend because we've been meaning to try them out, but they were supposed to be closed for staff training and menu trials. The folks at the restaurant were extremely sweet to entertain us on their day off. They recommended some of their bestsellers to us to try including their Chicken avocado wrap, Oaxacana bowl, Bahn Mi sandwich and their lattes. Everything on the menu was fresh, hot and thoughtfully made. The portions were also great and their service was so quick. We will be back soon to try the rest of the menu. If there's one restaurant in Seattle that you must visit no matter the time of day, it's this one. I assure you their menu has something for every pallette and their meals are super healthy. They are also very accommodating of any requests or dietary restrictions. read more

Nice vegan restaurant with tons of options to try. I was seated quickly but the service was a bit slow. Nevertheless I ordered coffee, milkshake and ODVB and I loved everything I had. I will continue supporting this all vegan restaurant. You do not need to be vegan to enjoy their tasty food. The ambiance is pretty laid back. read more

Very grateful for this great place! Fantastic, friendly service, really good food, and affordable prices. We had the frites which were perfect and the pretzel appetizer which had good vegan cheese dip, and surprisingly also came with apple, which was great. My husband got the Nashville burger, I believe and I got a pasta Florentine dish which was so so (to be fair I didn't really know what it was and wouldn't order again anywhere). Also had a really good non-alcoholic, tropical cold drink. read more

Very tasty! Been wanting to try this new spot in Fremont for a while and was not disappointed. They have a huge menu of bowls, sandwiches, smoothies, coffees, and more. I got the cabbage crunch bowl which was very delicious, packed with tofu, cashews, and fresh veggies. I also got a tasty smoothie and my husband enjoyed his avocado toast. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more things on the menu. Staff was very helpful and friendly as well. If you're in the Fremont area and are looking for a fresh and healthy vegan meal, definitely give this place a try! read more

I have never gotten anything here that wasn't AMAZING. The only danger is getting into ruts and ordering the same thing over and over (for me that's The Whole Bowl). I want to try everything on that huge menu! I don't normally like Just Egg omelets but I trust Vital so much I ordered one today and it's so good guys -- has to leave a review. I feel like this place hasn't been discovered yet. Come check it out. It's delightful. read more

Fantastic menu! So much diversity that if you don't like something, you can always come back and find something you do. This isn't your typical vegan junk food restaurant with the same Beyond burgers and fries (not that there is anything wrong with that). This place has something for everyone! And the service was fantastic! read more

Absolutely delicious! I had the Nashville Chick'n sandwich and my wife had one of the bowls and a smoothie. Healthy and yummy! Definitely coming back to Vital Creations again! read more

This was a one star but the owner made it right. Thank you. Food is yummy and service is fantastic.

I've been eating at Vital for about a year & they are hands-down my favorite vegan restaurant!! Their menu has always been competitive and top tier among vegan restaurants, and it just keeps getting better as they are always refining and adding new dishes. The plant-based substitutions are unmatched in flavor & texture--and I tried the Oshi Salmon Fillet for the first time tonight--it is SO delicious, I'm OBSESSED!!!! P.S. I drive all the way from Puyallup to come here, totally worth it! read more

Really tasty vegan food and a really impressive variety! We split the cauliflower wings, the BBQ Mac and cheese, and the chocolate-mint milkshake for dinner and dessert. Service was efficient and friendly, cute ambiance inside and conveniently located in downtown Fremont. We'll be back for sure to keep working our way through the menu :). read more

My husband and I went in as an impromptu date night and we are so glad we did! We ordered the spicy chicken sandwich and chili cheese dog with Cajun fries. Both dishes were amazing and really hit the spot. Service was exceptional as well. Thank you for the great experience. We will be back! read more

The location is tucked away and a bit hard to find if you're not looking. The bathroom is upstairs in a shared area and has a door code fyi. The food here is good. I had the spicy chicken burger and the smash burger. They were both good, I think I liked the spicy chicken better. Whichever one is on the left in the photo had more flavor. They were both very messy so be prepared to wash your hands after! The staff were friendly and helpful and gave recommendations when asked. She also preemptively saw I was lost looking for the bathroom and directed me to the right place. I'd definitely go back and try more food! read more

All-vegan cafe that just opened 3 weeks ago, with an expansive menu that'll make it difficult to choose from. They specialize in breakfast, bowls, burgers, wraps, and have plenty of coffee drinks of course. I ordered a create-your-own-bowl ($18) that comes with a choice of brown rice or quinoa as a base, mixed greens, choice of protein (I got chorizo sausage), and veggies of your choice. The bowl came out in less than 10 minutes. The portion was generous, with tons of quinoa, chorizo, veggies, and greens (not pictured, but on the side), with a nice side of sauces I asked for. Very satisfying. The staff are super friendly and helpful, and the place itself is quite homey and comfortable. Great new vegan addition to the Fremont neighbourhood. Recommended for a breakfast/brunch/lunch spot. read more

Lucky to have this new vegan gem join the neighborhood! My partner and I got takeout from Vital Creations last week and are still gushing about it. I got the Tofu Banh Mi sandwich and he got a wrap and we both loved our food! This was the first tofu banh mi I've had in Seattle that I can truly say was done RIGHT. The bread was extra crunchy, and the jalepenos and carrots were pickled to perfection. The tofu marinade was savory with umami flavors - I've been chasing that dragon ever since and need to go back to have it again! We ordered online and the pickup was seamless. The staff were incredibly friendly and kind upon picking up the food. The vibes in the place were cute and inviting - we can't wait to come back and dine in. Come support this local business! I want to see them thrive; they're something special. read more

best kept seattle vegan secret! My wife and I pride ourselves on knowing every vegan restaurant in Seattle, and let me tell you, this place is a hidden treasure! You know those days when you crave something tasty but don't want to bloat your arteries with deep-fried goodness? And you're also not in the mood for a salad? This spot hits the perfect middle ground. We've been here three times, each time trying something different, and each dish has been a home run! The food is flavorful, satisfying, and healthy--exactly what we need. One of our visits was on a rainy Seattle day (ha ha), and this place was like a cozy haven, offering comfort without the guilt. Seattle definitely needs to cut back on the greasy spoon vibe (like PDX), and this restaurant is a breath of fresh air in the vegan scene. Plus, it's fun to walk in and be greeted by cheerful staff who seem genuinely excited about what they're serving. Wishing you lots of success because Seattle deserves more spots like this. We'll definitely be back for more, ready to explore the menu further and enjoy every bite! read more

Between the cool people and bomb ass food this an easy return for me. Idk how this place was empty as it was cause the product backed everything up and then some. We shared a dirty Mac and the fondue during happy hour with the Mrs having the sunshine smoothie and my selection being the punch one. We also copped a solid set of vegan ice cream the brown sugar vanilla and strawberry were some of the best not only vegan but regular ice creams I've ever had bar none. We're not the strictest vegans or omnivores specifically but id say they have nailed the healthy but still tastes not like but is meat vibe I always look for and so far outside of this place never found. I saw so many things I already wanna try next trip up to the sound. Give this place a shot if your near pikes or uw you won't be disappointed. read more

Wow I came here for ice cream but then realized I hadn't eaten all day so got a late lunch. I got the bleu cheese burger and the brown sugar vanilla ice cream. I didn't even realize this was a vegan place, the burger was delicious. The ingredients are fresh! And it smell and tasted as good as it looked. The cashier was very sweet and attentive. If I'm in the area again, I will definitely come back. read more

We liked this cozy vegan place. Ordering was quick and efficient. Friendly service as well. Crunchy cabbage bowl was delicious. Soy sauce based dressing was tasty. It could have been even better if it was less salty. The bun on banh mi was not the typical lighter bread, but it was tasty nonetheless. I could have given 4 but 5 so we can all save the planet. read more

The kindest staff. Amazing service. Delicious menu. The smoothies are my favorite part. There aren't a lot of smoothie place sin Seattle, let alone yummy ones with good-for-you ingredients (not junk). read more

This is just the kind of place I am always looking for--a vegan restaurant with some somewhat healthy and simple options (not all fake meat and takes on comfort food). I got the crunchy cabbage bowl. I really enjoyed it (although maybe a little less soy sauce/some other kind of dressing?) and it was very hearty! The space was clean and staff was very friendly and attentive, The bathrooms are in the main building and up some stairs with a code, just FYI. I can't wait to come back. Just wish this was in Ballard so I could drop by all of the time! read more

Great tasting quality food with ample of options. Nothing was too greasy. Kimchi hot dog is great and pastas too. Best in Seattle.

My kind of place. Vegetarian, creative, absolutely delicious, and service with a smile.

Really happy to have a new vegan spot in the neighborhood. Really enjoyed the wave wrap and looking forward to trying the other food in the future. I'm not sure if this is the same owners as the prior vegan spot at this address (Galaxy Rune) but I am happy that the food is on the healthier end of the spectrum. Ordered takeout online. Inside seating seemed pretty simple. read more
