Something Vegan — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I come here 3 times a week. Always leave a 25% tip every time. I I even came over on Monday and dined in. Had my favorite server. Normally the service is great. Today they were extremly hostile to me. I was one 1% battery and called to ask if i could borrow the charger for 2 minutes to get a charge so i could call a ride home. I even said I would dine in , I literally chose the trader joes in this area so I could eat at “something vegan” after. But my phone died. The woman on the phone said YES to me if i dined in , she would charge my phone enough for me to call a ride. But when I got there with zero % they looked at me like I was a slug and where very rude and hostile to me and said no. Why Lie on the phone then??? The people who worked today and where there around 5:20pm need to take a class on etiquette. Dont lie on phone, dont be rude. This used to be one of my favourite vegan places . Literally would come over 3-4 times a week. No more!! Ill make sure none of my vegan friends come back either! Why is it always the people who work there at night , are rude af! Even last week the service was bad and i still tipped 25%. Service here as gone downhill. No greeting, no checking on you, even last week , no offer of water or dessert, . Just slapped bill on table. Still i tipped 25% . Still i came back . But you guys had to continue to show a lack in service. Thankfully Studio City has BETTER vegan thai with BETTER service. Also, if you go at night and are solo, they treat you badly because they figure smaller check with one person. 🤦‍♀️ Im literally the one who comes in and gives big tips snd orders a sample of everything, especially when its dead slow. Your servers that where on tonight and the one at cashier stand. Have just lost a regular, as well as 13 of my friends who come by very often.

Only one server at “something vegan” is worth going. Go before 3pm, otherwise you get the servers...

One of my favorite vegan spots in all of Los Angeles!

Something Vegan has a lot of Asian Fusion type dishes, but also a few super unique menu items, such as the absolutely DIVINE Carbonara Pasta! This pasta is one of my favorites PERIOD, not just for vegan pastas! I love how generous the portions are and hearty, creamy, and rich it tastes. Also, since it's vegan, it doesn't give you the same feeling of bloated heaviness you'll sometimes get from other super creamy and non-vegan pastas. There's also plenty of toppings on it that add great texture and crunch!

My love for the food here doesn't end at the pasta, however. Everything is great!! For starters, my favorite are the gyoza dumplings - perfectly crispy on the edges and deliciously mushy inside. I seriously can never tell a difference between these and regular, non-vegan gyoza while I'm eating them It's also served with a very generous number that can easily be shared.

The Drunken Noodles are another great option with great heat and texture from the peppers and other toppings, with the soy chicken (the protein we usually go with) tasting SO legit!! For soups, I love adding on one of the Coconut Soups. Reasonably priced at $11, it has a very hearty size and comes with a subtle heat to complement the creaminess of the delicious broth. Yum!!

The restaurant itself is small, but very clean and cute inside, with plenty of seating options. We usually get take-out when we order from here, however, and everyone working here is always very friendly!

Enough said! Visit Something Vegan if you haven't yet - even if you're not vegan! Everyone would love this lovely little spot and its hearty, healthy,...

This is one of my favorite vegan places in the city and I'm torn between wanting it to get the recognition it deserves and selfishly wanting it to remain a somewhat hidden gem. There are lots of Asian influenced vegan places in the valley, but Something Vegan is an absolute standout.

I would not have expected a restaurant to excel at so many various dishes, but I have not had a single bad or even mediocre dish here. Everything from the nachos, to the carbonara, spring rolls, and pho are DELICIOUS. But my absolute favorite is the Khao Soi. It's a dish that defies labels. It's a curry but not really, a noodle dish but not really, a soup but not really. It's its own thing and Something Vegan makes it better than anyone else in town, vegan or otherwise. I bring non-vegans here because I know everyone will always be impressed and satisfied. I even brought the non-vegan friend who I backpacked through Thailand with and she said the Khao Soi was as good as what she had in Chiang Mai.

As vegans, we sometimes have to compromise on quality, authenticity, or flavor in order to accommodate the diet, but that's just not the case at Something Vegan.

Staff are lovely, parking is decent, the patio is wonderful to sit on and watch passersby, it's in a quaint area of Toluca Lake. Prices here are very fair, especially for the portions. Highly...
