Hidden gem

Found this place will doing some shopping , a lot of options on their menu and you can’t go wrong, but my favorite is the garlic chicken sandwich with some sweet potato fries.

Salad was really not great

I ordered a chef salad with seitan and Italian dressing and it was terrible. I struggled while eating this because it was that bad. I usually don’t order salads, but I do enjoy them and this was just gross.

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Didn’t taste good

Wide variety of options!

I was a little sceptical when I saw, Thai food, Mexican food, burgers and pancakes all on the menu, but my chicken sandwich was on point!

Pros: Inexpensive

Cons: Closes early., Skid row adjacent.

Tasty and big servings

A little further from DTLA then other options, but had tasty breakfast options. The process may seem a little inflated but the serving sizes seem pretty substantial.

Pros: Lots of options, Far service

Cons: Location, A little pricey

Food was okay

Location was nice inside, however the jackfruit burger was okay. For the price you can definitely get a better bbq jackfruit burger.

Cons: Price and portions size were okay at best

Yummy vegan breakfast!

This was my first stop for a vegan meal on my trip to L.A. and it did not disappoint. I loved the breakfast choices they offered! My mom and I both really enjoyed our food, and the staff is so kind. Highly recommend this spot!

Pros: Delicious food, Friendly staff, Cool atmosphere

Good lunch place!

The menu and the food was really good and the price as well. Is located a bit further away from downtown but if you are nearby I could recommend a visit but maybe not worth travel a long way for. The food was very tasty and delicious and the portion size was very nice. But sitting inside it’s not very comfortable it could need an upgrade.

Pros: Lots of options , Good price, Nice staff

Cons: Far away, Not very cozy or comfortable

Tasty crowd pleaser

Ordered for delivery. Staying at a nearby hotel in downtown LA, delivery was easy, and the menu option were extremely diverse, which is great for even the pickiest eaters. I tried the yellow curry, tropical pancakes, and the vj fruit smoothie. All were delicious. The curry was packed with veggies and tofu, the pancakes jammed with delicious fruit, and the smoothie was very tropical and pretty thin, which landed it somewhere between juice and smoothie, which could have been a delivery thing, but it only took about ten minutes to get here, so I think that was just the consistency, which I enjoyed. With all the options, I’d definitely eat here again.

100% plant based. Yellow curry, fried rice, breakfast burrito, 'chicken' tacos are all delicious options.

Always very friendly, great service

Huge menu and good food

So much menu choice, good hearty food, and very friendly, helpful service. We were a little worried about the walk from downtown because we didn’t know how safe the streets would be (we don’t know LA well) - but it’s fine to walk and an interesting area to see for tourists (the fashion district).

Pros: So much choice, Very helpful staff

Cons: A little out of the way but worth the trip!

Thumbs up

Located in a unusual area, I decided to give this place a try for lunch. Service was good, and the food came out quickly but then again I was the only table here,

I tried their Italian sausage omelette while my friend got the tropical pancakes. Both dishes were really good, and filled me up indefinitely.

I imagine that parking would be a hassle here on the weekends though due to there being very limited street parking but I would come back to try their other dishes if I was in the area again.

Pros: Extensive menu

Cons: Parking

A Little Gem in Downtown

A little gem in downtown

It's not a place one would expect to see a vegan restaurant, but it's here in downtown tucked amongst clothes shops and warehouses. Stopped in for lunch, and here's my Vegan Joint downtown locations review.

The place appears small from the outside, but once you walk in you'll see plenty of tables for seating. It's pretty basic and casual; however the menu is just as extensive as the other Vegan Joint locations.

We got a black bean burger (comes with side of fries) and an order of fresh rolls. Both yummy. The quality is just as good as its other locations.

Truly a gem to have in downtown.

Pros: vegan, friendly and quick, good prices

I have been here many time and had lots of the dishes on the menu, all of them were good. My favorite is probably their Chickun Tacos.

Pros: good food, reasonable prices, nice staff

Pad thai

I ordered pad thai and asked for spicy but instead it was sweet. The tofu was overcooked and tasted like cardboard and the noodles were very dry.

lunch

This place is so delicious!! From the grilled garlic chicken burger to the miso soup and Thai tea, yum!
The garlic fries are better then any I've tasted!! Also had the veggie noodles and for dessert the tiramisu and carrot cake , all of it was finger licking good! The customer service from the employees however was awful, rude and cold , no smile or anything. But the food no complaints

Pros: outside /inside seating, great variety of desserts

Cons: bad service , rude waitress

Amazing!

Great food, amazing selection, some was even quite original. It's a good thing the restaurant we originally wanted to go to wasn't open (:
The dishes were HUGE. We really couldn't finish and had to pack it to go.

Big pictures on the walls presented some of the dishes, allowing you to understand what some of the options are. Though they don't show how big the dishes are.

Pros: Great food!, Good prices, Pictures of the actual dishes on the wall

Love it

I love the yum woon sen and fried chicken sandwich. The yum woon sen is so light and fresh. We also ordered the fish sandwich but I think the fried chicken is way better than the fish. We were stuffed with these 3 dishes. Prices are very reasonable. We walked from downtown to get to this spot and thought it was a strange neighborhood.

Pros: Good value
